Branch Lake, lakefront cottage in the woods, Ellsworth ME

Excellent cabin on the lake! The home was super clean when we arrived and check instructions were a breeze. It was spacious, yet cozy. We enjoyed the screened in porch that overlooked the lake. The location was quiet and peaceful, yet not too remote. We drove to Bar Harbor or Acadia everyday and the drive was on county roads and so pretty. I would definitely recommend this cabin!

It was wonderful. A piece of heaven. The place was so beautiful. Would return again.

Beautiful location right on the lake. Cozy living area.Not as large as the photos depict. Adequate kitchen. Comfortable beds and climate control. The property manager responded promptly when we had difficulty with the TV.

Wonderful property all around! I am a Maine native (grew up in Holden, ME) who vacations 'back home' nearly every summer since moving to DC 30 years ago. My husband and senior college student agree that THIS is the BEST property we have stayed at. Perfect location, clean, modern but still a 'camp', outdoor space has so many options to sit and chill both in the sun and shade. 2 Kayaks are perfect for the VERY CLEAN Branch Lake (so quiet as well!), 20 mins from local Supermarket (G&M) or Ellsworth with many other shopping options (hit Reny's - it is a Maine Adventure). Had local family for day visits during our week stay and they agree it was a great camp with a perfect spot on the lake. Karin was quick to respond to pre and post trip communications I sent her. Can't stress enough how clean the property was - but, remember you are on a LAKE in MAINE so may have nature around you :) We were a family of 3 so used the main level living space most; but had a blast upstairs using the huge table for game night with extended family visiting. There was a large round trampoline float when we visited (the listing pics had shown a smaller yellow platform) and we LOVED IT! Highly recommend!! PS: as a Maine native, I can tell you having the modern and very efficient Air Conditioning in the camp is not normal, yet very much appreciated in the humid summah. Will be back for a 2 week visit next time :)

Great location and very quiet. Coordinating with host for arrival and departure was easy. I would definitely stay here again!

The house is very nice. It’s very clean. The only issue I had was it is a little musty and it affected my allergies a bit but it wasn’t unbearable. I would stay again. It was fall so we didn’t get to use the kayaks on that were there but I would love to go back sometime.

This rental had everything you would need. Very spacious indoors and out with lake frontage. Superior cleanliness and comfort! It’s a bit isolated - the town of Ellsworth is about a 15 minute ride and Bar Harbor and Acadia Natl Park are about 40 minutes, but worth the drive. I would rent here again!

We absolutely loved the property! It was beautiful! We had plenty of room for the 4 of us. The rooms were spacious and it felt like a cozy home. We were in close proximity to Ellsworth (20 min) and bar harbor/acadia (40min), which were our main destinations. We look forward to hopefully staying here again in the future!

We absolutely loved our stay. Everything you could ask for is here. Private. Quiet. Access to a gorgeous lake for swimming or fishing. We stayed on property for the first 2 days of our week long stay simply because we were able to decompress and have fun too. Don’t hesitate on this house, you’ll regret it.

Wonderful setting. Quiet and private. Not too far from town and we loved the house and lake. We had a few issues with brownouts after the 2nd day possibly due to a storm that came through. We'd definitely stay here again!
