The Cottage | Peaceful 32-Acre Lakefront Getaway | Canoe, Firepit & Big Deck

Very supportive and approachable staff with local community contacts established for smooth troubleshooting. One can easily stay for a week here !! *****

An amazing place to stay. We absolutely loved the cabin.

We had a wonderful stay at cabin.

The cottage is a cabin by a lake. The cabin has electricity, a bathroom and a kitchen. Rustic but comfortable. We took the canoe around the lake. Location of the cabin is very quiet. The bathroom is on the main floor so middle of the night trip’s required steps. The bed was soft. That being said we both said we would stay again.

The bathroom had a strong urine odor the entire time we were there. I actually bought a large deodorizer to help control the smell. Maybe there is an issue with the wax seal, hairline crack in the toilet or a problem with the pipes. And because the place is small, the smell was noticeable in the living area as well. I called Vacasa about this and the only response was that the cleaners did not notice anything when they were there. If it weren't for this I would be giving a better review.

Beautiful property,

Our first time in Maine and picked a perfect place for our stay. The cabin has a real rustic feel with direct access to the pond. We had enjoyed canoeing, paddle boarding and fishing. It is a short drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Also, only 15 minutes from the best cheesecake in Maine, MoMo's in Ellsworth.We cannot say enough about Vacasa customer service. They addressed our request promptly and professionally.

Beautiful, cozy, and quiet! Great for a couple days.

Place was nice; location and outside of the property and the fact that it was on a pond/lake. It was quiet. Had a nice fire pit outside and the dock with the canoe and paddle board were nice. Outside great!Inside,,, not so much….. if you don’t cook or are not concerned about some of the cleanliness issues, then it would be fine. Negatives:….NO coffee maker as the listing said there would be. They had lots of coffee filters but no pot, only a Kuerig maker with no Kuerig pods. They said they would bring one but did not. We bought a pour-over the next time we went to town once we realized they weren’t bringing a pot. The rest of the kitchen supplies were probably from a garage sales, bad ones. ….the floors were dirty especially the rugs… they looked like they had never been washed, almost black in some spots. Rugs should be washed or replaced. I would not walk barefoot in the place. ….Could not use the washing machine since there was rust in the detergent dispenser. Didn’t want to ruin my clothes. ….No AC, which we knew, but the fans that were provided were really dirty, gross, but necessary since it was hot. Overall I would not come back unless they clean up the inside and provide just a few nice pans and a coffee maker. Outside was wonderful, inside not so much.

This was a great stay for our family vacation to Acadia National Park. The fire pit, dock, and water crafts were great.

Please be careful booking this property. When we arrived at the rental our first night we were greeted with a strong gas smell throughout the house. There had been a gas leak prior to us arriving. We quickly contacted the host and emergency services. The fire department shut off the gas, cleared the house and instructed that we had a professional come out to evaluate the issue, mind you this was after traveling several hours to the property. The gas concentrations were very dangerous. One flip of the light switch and it could have caused an explosion. The owner assured us that they would have someone come out to house the next day. We never heard from them again. We spent the next several days attempting to cook all of our food on the outside grill. Much of the food we were planning to cook in the oven went bad as we were unable to cook in the kitchen. 3 weeks since our stay concluded and they are still giving us the runaround. I would caution anyone looking into the property if they are looking for a safe rental.

it was a very peaceful area. The use of the canoe to paddle the pond was a bonus. I gave the cleanliness only 2 stars as it was obvious no one had been in prior to our arrival. There were hundreds of dead & live ants. Also piles of sawdust on counters. I mention this only because it needs serious pest control, the ant traps are helping but only slightly. Otherwise I give 4 stars for cleanliness! Strangely the gas stove gas supply was turned off behind the stove. This reads like nothing but complaints but we enjoyed our stay immensely & just feel for the sake of the cottage & business to bring attention to the ant problem.

My husband and I spent the 1st 2 nights of our honeymoon at this cottage and it was very rustic and intimate. The neighborhood was quiet and secluded. All in all it was a good time

Very private rustic cabin with a nice view of the lake.

We stayed for one night in this lovely, rustic cottage and wished we had more than one day to enjoy the amenities, which was a fantastic lakeside spot with a dock, fire pit, kayaks, and wrap around deck. The cottage was charming and cozy, with an unusual layout with a loft above the 2nd floor bedroom. The one minor glitch to the trip was having to call Vacasa repeatedly for the access code to the house, which we did not get until we are at the house.

Very peaceful little cabin with everything we needed. Would definitely go back again. You can tell the owners actually care and put time into the property.

Cool spot on the water, the house was spacious and the second floor primary bedroom was comfortable and clean. The dock seemed well maintained along with the fire pit. Wood was provided, stacked near the fire pit. Internet worked great. This property is near some active ATV trails, and we had some unwelcome visitors our last night with 3 loud ATVs out on the dirt road in front of the cabin and trails until nearly midnight. If you love four wheelers - great! If not, then this location may not be for you.

Rustic cabin with most required amenities, comfy bed, spacious for 2-4 people. The dock on the pond is superb. Such a gorgeous spot for coffee, reading or snoozing. Very nice to have kayak etc and paddle around the pond which is super quiet. We rode bikes on the nearby mixed use path which was fun. Easy access to Ellsworth and Acadia. Recommend!

We loved the cozy cabin! We went in August and it was great. The pond next to the cabin is stocked with bass. We caught and released so many! Highly recommended for anyone that wants to fish.

Quiet peaceful restful week. Kayaking, hiking, reading and napping. Top three of our vacations.

Very charming rustic log cabin. All the amenities and then some. Spent lots of time on the dock soaking in the beauty of the lake. Wished we could have stayed longer.

We loved this cottage. The grounds are gorgeous and the house is so cozy. The kitchen was well stocked.

The property is beautiful and relaxing. The cabin is very rustic but comfortable. Unfortunately, the temperature was unseasonably warm for the area when we visited. There are multiple fans but they are small. A few larger fans (for these unusual times) would have been nice. Overall, a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.
