Beautiful spot on the lake. A simple cabin, well loved, so if you don’t need anything fancy, they have all the necessities AND kayaks for use on the lake.

We enjoyed our stay!

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!

Just what we were looking for!

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 it’s 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 couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Recommend 100%

Beautiful scenery

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 We don’t mind old or outdated but it was dirty. Appliances were not cleaned and some didn’t work. Don’t think the blankets have ever been washed. Floors were dirty and rugs weren’t vacuumed. It’s 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.

Tranquil Retreat

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

Nice stay in a cabin at a beautiful location

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.

Amazing views/relaxing stay

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 couldn’t 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 (we’re from Saratoga, NY), we will definitely be looking to stay here.

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 daughter’s clothing back to us! The property is everything you would ever want and need for an isolated cabin on a lake. I didn’t mind the 45 min drive to Acadia and back, as it showcases the diversity of Northern Maine (farms, lobsters/sea, forests).

Relaxation with a view.

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.

Cabin Review Summary

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!

Peaceful

We had a nice stay. It’s 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!

Charming rustic cabin in the woods, right on the lake.

Incredible location right on the lake. Listing and photos do not do it justice. Loved our 3 night stay here. Sunny early Fall weather meant we could swim in the lake, canoe and kayak with supplied boats (inc lifejackets if needed). Good sized wooded garden leading down to lake. Cabin was a good size and charmingly rustic, queen bed a little soft and lumpy and sofa also a little old, but didn’t detract from a well kitted out cabin in the woods, wood burning stove for chilly evenings and roasting smores on the fire pit outside, beautiful sunrises l, loved the private “island” rock to sunbathe on and easy access to Acadia National Park, would definitely recommend.

Gorgeous Property, Responsive Host, Could Be Cleaner

This property was absolutely gorgeous, tucked away but not too hard to find, the lake was lovely and the deck was just magical. The house is dated but cute, comfortable fit for the 4 of us. The check-in process was a bit confusing because there weren't any instructions and, when we arrived, the property manager was inside the house. The property manager was very friendly and responsive, especially when we lost power in a storm. He came by quickly to bring us firewood for the wood stove and to hook up a generator for us which we really appreciated. Our only complaint was that the house was not well-cleaned. Most of the surfaces were sticky, many of the dishes were poorly washed or in poor condition, some surfaces were dusty. There were odd items left around including a used toothbrush in the bathroom and a pot of baked beans left in the fridge. That being said, the beds were clean and comfortable and we did enjoy our stay!
