This was a fantastic spot for a quiet get away. Having kayaks to use was awesome. Great views for the sunrise every morning. We drove to Acadia and bar harbor a few times but you could totally stay right at this cottage and still have loads of fun.
This place does not disappoint!! Quiet and serene. Fantastic fishing and just the perfect place to kick back and relax. Looking forward to a 3rd visit.
Beautiful spot on the lake. A simple cabin, well loved, so if you donât need anything fancy, they have all the necessities AND kayaks for use on the lake.
This camp is a great place to unwind! The boulder deck is an awesome place to relax and enjoy an adult beverage. Check-in was a breeze, and Mike corrected a sleeping arrangement issue quickly. I spent most mornings drinking my coffee on the deck. It was a great way to start my day. The internet was intermittent, so streaming a movie at night may be an issue. All in all, it was a great place to spend two weeks enjoying Down East.
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Check in was easy and the host gave great directions to the cottage which was helpful as cell service in this area is poor. The cottage was accurately described and is very well stocked with almost everything you can think of besides the actual food for your trip. Felt very much like we were staying at a family cottage. The view from the dock was amazing!
The cabin was just as we expected. We wanted peace and quiet and it was just what we were looking for. Nestled in the woods with a waterfront view it was truly perfect. Away from the crowds of Bar Harbor but close enough where itâs no problem to drive into Acadia or Bar Harbor. We also enjoyed seeing some of the more local sights. Stanwood Wildlife Sanctuary was wonderful in Elsworth and Fogtown Brewery had yummy pizza! We enjoyed the kayaks, canoe, and paddle board daily! We had a family of otters greet us a few mornings. Mike was an exceptional host! He was always quick to respond to any questions we had. We really couldnât have asked for a better stay! Recommend 100%
The yard, view, lake, dock and fire pit were great! Communication was great and prompt and the price was good. Unfortunately, the cottage was dirty. We donât mind old or outdated but it was dirty. Appliances were not cleaned and some didnât work. Donât think the blankets have ever been washed. Floors were dirty and rugs werenât vacuumed. Itâs a shame because the location and large deck were great.
Exactly what our family was looking for. A quiet lakeside getaway close to Acadia. Cabin was rustic and clean. Lake was gorgeous. We will definitely be back.
Loved staying here with my family. Two children ages 4 & 7 loved the pier overlooking molasses pond. Fishing was great (sunfish), grilled, fires at night, heard loons and close to Bar Harbor. Shops are close by including lobster restaurants for take out! Everything was great! Cottage has everything needed! Money well spent for unforgettable memories!
Had a great vacation in Maine. Cottage has everything you need. Our 12 and 8 year boys had a good time. They loved the board games and the lake side. Very good location and value. Kids want to go back already!
Thanks
We had a lovely time and your cabin. The location was beautiful. We enjoyed it very much. Also the nature and the lake were beautiful. We had a lovely swim and my wife a short canoe trip. It was clean, cosy, spacious and the beds were good. Only the fact that the bedrooms had no ceiling was our only point of critique. We enjoyed ourselves very much and would have liked to stay longer.
10/10
Understand that this is a quintessential rustic cabin in Northern Maine. If you understand that: you will thoroughly enjoy this cabin. A slice of Maine cultural history.
The property manager has excellent communication and was so kind to mail my daughterâs clothing back to us!
The property is everything you would ever want and need for an isolated cabin on a lake. I didnât mind the 45 min drive to Acadia and back, as it showcases the diversity of Northern Maine (farms, lobsters/sea, forests).
My parents and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We spent 2 days and 3 nights here during our trip to Acadia National Park. We couldnât have chosen a better place for our stay. It was in a beautiful location, right on the water. My dad and I had our coffee out on the dock every morning. If we ever make our way up to Maine again (weâre from Saratoga, NY), we will definitely be looking to stay here.
Great little cabin that takes you back in time with countless vintage accents. We had a great time staying here. Kids braved the cold water and jumped off the rock dock. Loved the wood stove at night. Very quiet and peaceful. Thanks.
We had a nice stay. Itâs very secluded and peaceful! The only complaint I have is there was no AC and it was quite warm and there is no mention in the listing about no AC. There were fans available which helped, but we just wish we had known ahead of time. Other than that it was great and the drive to Acadia was easy each day!
The cabin was very well maintained. The cleanliness was great. The property owner was very attentive. We were one house off when we arrived and Mike the property owner arrived at the cabin to make sure it was unlocked for us.
Very well done Thank you very much and God Bless!
