Sweetest Couples Cabin

This cabin is the PERFECT place for a couple to escape from everyday life and ACTUALLY RELAX! It provides the seclusion and comfort needed to have the well deserved vacation we all crave. It is close enough to the coast and Acadia Park that you can make day trips, and come home to enjoy each other. It's large enough to bring preteens, butttt... make this destination just for yourselves!! Don't forget to get cheesecake from MoMo's to bring home and enjoy together!

Nature Bountiful

The host was first rate with communication all through the process and was seamless. The decor of the cabin is just darling!! The nature was spectacular and the water gorgeous! Our first night we saw a swimming bald eagle, and the call of the loons were spectacular every morning! The only recommendations I have is a new bed mattress and kayaks that are in the water when you arrive with updated dated paddles. The kayaks were a bit heavy to put in the water from the rack.

Perfect cabin

A perfect cabin on George’s Pond was just the getaway we needed. Very clean and had everything we needed. Close enough to Acadia where we spent many of our days. Communication with the owners was clear, fast, and friendly. Would love to stay here again.

Great getaway!

Property was as advertised. Stay was pleasant, hosts were great - close by in case of issues - but none to speak of. Cabin getaway was exactly what we needed and the property was beautiful and serene. Cabin was clean and tidy which is a huge deal for my clean freak (in a good way) partner! This place is on our list if we return to Maine!

Wonderful cabin on quiet lake

Loved our time at the cabin. Georges Pond is a very clear lake. The neighborhood is quite and we really enjoyed the peacefulness. Bar Haror and Acadia National Park are about 30 minutes away. We also visited Lubec (eastern most US town) and rented ATVs for a day in the Sunshine Trail. Highly recommend!

Perfect lakefront getaway!

This cabin had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. Nearby Ellsworth has stores for necessities and a variety of great restaurants. We drove to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and other points just south via an easy drive. Comfortable furnishings, well appointed kitchen, and kayaks, along with our own fishing dock.

Amazing stay!!

The camp was clean, cozy and comfortable. It had all the amenities you would need. A great view of the water and located near many outdoor activities. My daughter loved fishing off the dock and going kayaking. The water was crystal clear for swimming as well. Overall an extremely relaxing stay! The owners were very good at communication and even got us in early the day of check in. A+ experience!!

Very relaxing camp

We enjoyed our stay at the camp. It was nice going down on the dock evenings relaxing and doing some fishing off the dock. We recommend any couple that would like a nice place to just kick back and relax to visit this camp. The only small complaint i have in early morning next door there was a yapping dog for about two or three hours every morning
