    This place is wonderful! We've stayed here for at least 6-7 times. The location is close enough to Acadia, but also far enough away too! The beach at the house sets it aside from most other rentals.

    It was a perfect place to stay for us. We had everything we needed and then some. The pond is maybe 20 feet from the door of the cabin. I often started the day sitting at the waterfront with coffee and a book but often got distracted by loons and occasionally a river otter. Host made sure we knew where everything was and shared information on the popular sites nearby. We alternated days on the pond with trips to Acadia National Park and usually tried to end the day at the firepit. We had several overcast nights but still managed a couple of great stargazing nights. The location on the pond was also nice. The immediate, cove-like area offered plenty of space for our water activities, but we did sometimes venture out further across the pond. We had a great time and would recommend staying here.

    Tim is a wonderful host and great communicator, checking in with us before and during our stay. We were looking for a secluded area on a pond not too far from Acadia Park and this was prefect! We swam, kayaked and fished right out the back door. We were lucky enough to see loons and an otter right at the property. The outdoor shower was an added bonus. My family loved it so much we only showered outside.

    The cottage had everything we needed to relax and enjoy the lake. It's location was perfect to visit acadia, ellsworth, schoodic peninsula, and so many other unique locations, but then head back to the quiet of the cottage. Access to kayaks and canoe was so nice! The 4 year old asked for one more kayak ride the morning of check out- warmed my heart. The dog learned to swim! Teens spent the most time in tubes on the water and taking pictures of loons (my daughter was ecstatic to have loons that close to us!) It was just perfect- will recommend to others for sure!

    The location was really nice. However the beds are really bad and lighting isn’t the greatest. The listing mentioned a Hot Tub and Spa there is none. The pictures for the upstairs should include the steepness of the stairs. Was very peaceful sitting on the porch and listening to the loons. Everything is close by to go site seeing or out to eat. Pet friendly was nice

    We loved the location. The pond is beautiful and we spent many hours on the water. Tim was an attentive and responsive host, and made the whole rental process easy.

    Nice cabin, quiet, good fishing and kayaking. Short hop to Acadia. Local restraunts are really good! Tim and Ann are great with communication and making sure everthing was going smooth, even got a hold of us when the power went out to make sure we were good. Everyone is already talking about nest year....

    Great location and very nice lake to swim and fish. Home is older and outdated, but that should be expected. Beds are very old and not so comfortable, but adequate. Septic system acting up on us; but to be fair, we did not call to get serviced. Saw some Loons as well, that was really cool. Thank you Tim and Ann.

    My aunt and uncle from Florida and my mom and I stayed a week at the cabin. I cannot stress enough that if you want to experience the beauty of Maine you HAVE to stay here. The lake was breathtaking, the cabin was cozy and had absolutely everything we needed including a canoe and two kayaks which we used daily. My uncle fished daily as well. Besides all of that, the location is amazing for visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia without dealing with the crowds and prices. I also hiked with my dogs multiple times in the wildlife conservation area close by. The hosts are a phone call away at all times and we could tell they loved the area and cabin as much as we did. All of these things made this hands down one of the best vacations we have taken.
