    Rustic, tranquil cabin with a beautiful sunset over the lake. It was a great place to relax after spending the day at Acadia.

    I wanted to give 5 stars. I wanted to be able to relax and enjoy my stay. I really didn’t expect much and was happy with rustic. However, no one communicated with me that they were having issues with the water. Which meant no flushing toilet. I would have been okay with that had I been prepared, or would have even been fine with a portapotty or outhouse but after contacting the support number and someone saying they would be getting someone there to fix it within an hour or 2 and me wasting my whole day waiting around for no one to show was rude. Luckily it was only me, had this been a family of 4, that toilet would have filled up quickly. Super disappointed and I feel like I should be refunded at least a day…

    We had a fantastic vacation here! The beach was perfect for our three kids to swim, and the lake was beautiful—much quieter than we expected. We spent a lot of time swimming, fishing, and even frogging, which made for some great family memories.The house itself met all of our needs and comfortably fit our family of five. We especially appreciated the newer Weber grill—it was clean and perfect for grilling dinners.That said, the house could benefit from a deeper cleaning and a little handyman attention to a few small details. The water at the fixtures wasn’t the best, but it worked fine for a camp.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would come back without hesitation!

    Great little house in an amazing location. Reasonably close to Acadia, and the lake provides its own outdoor adventures. Highly recommend for a perfect Maine getaway!

    My family and I truly enjoyed ourselves. Such easy access to the water. We brought one more two person kayak so all four of us could go out on the water together. The loons were amazing, eagles, king fisher, so much to see and enjoy. We may have been lucky with a particularly quiet neighbor week and not too hot temperatures even for July. We loved the peace and quiet, thanks so much.

    Cabin was perfect. Nobody was in the cabins next to us which made our trip so peaceful. Lake was calm with very few boats the entire week we stayed.

    If you are looking for a lake house with private view on the lake - you will love it. Please be aware that the house is old, there is no dishwasher or washing machine for the laundry, there is no AC, no WiFi. It didn't matter to us. The owner left enough towels, it was enough for 4 people staying for 4 nights. Kitchen appliances are working fine. Overall it was very nice vacation. Not far away from park Acadia but private. We enjoyed it.

    Checked in to find full garbage cans, and they were never emptied during our stay. Temps got into the 80’s during our stay and the trash definitely stunk. Had no hot water for the first 24 hours of our stay. Not sure what happened, but eventually was fixed. Location is great. The little beach was perfect for our kids (2 and 7). Enjoyed the fire pit right on the water. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space to hang out, but REALLY need to invest in new living room furniture. Chairs are very old and uncomfortable. Liked that we were close enough to a gas station/convenience store if we really needed something. Used the grill - worked great, but was left very dirty and only supplied a scraggly old grill brush. No trash bags were supplied. Only a shower too, no tub, which is hard with a two year old. Overall, good for the price. No difference to the kids which is all that matters….
