Welcome to Cozy Cove: a beautiful, pristine, secluded, waterfront on deep-water Tunk Lake! We are Spruce Properties Bar Harbor. Please view our website for more pictures and to reach us directly at sprucepropertiesbarharbor.wordpress.com.

Cozy Cove is a clean and bright 4-bedroom lakefront camp just feet from the water on protected Tunk Lake. Of all the lakes in Maine, Tunk Lake is one of the most beautiful and most pristine. It is over 200 feet deep and the water quality is some of the best in the state. There is very little development around the lake, with most of the land under protection in Tunk Lake Preserve. Tunk is an excellent cold-water fishery and holds records for some of the largest lake trout caught.

Cozy Cove is uniquely situated at the desirable north end of the lake, less than ½ mile to the boat launch. The cabin faces southwest, with views of Catherine and Black Mountains. The beach is formed as part of a protected cove that also provides shelter and privacy from the larger part of the lake. The western exposure means long sunlit afternoons on the beach after a day spent hiking and exploring. Stay for a week and get 10% off!

The cabin was rebuilt in 2017 on the original location close to the water’s edge, but updated to a slightly larger and more accommodating space. The 1st floor offers 2 bedrooms, full bathroom, washer/dryer, spacious kitchen with granite counters and open living area with water views. The 2nd floor offers 2 more bedrooms, 1/2 bath, sitting/game room area with water views and a small private balcony. The level yard provides convenient parking, room for toys, and easy access to the waterfront with a sandy beach and dock.

Cozy Cove is located
We conditionally allow well-behaved dogs to stay at the property. Please reach out first before booking if you have a pet. We are happy to host your dog, however guests with dogs MUST follow these rules:
1. Keep your pet OFF the furniture at all times.
2. Do NOT leave your dog alone in the house. Bring them with you or crate them.
3. Wet dogs stay outside.
4. Be respectful by keeping your dog quiet and cleaning up after them.
If you are not sure if you and/or your dog can follow these rules, please leave them at home. We charge a nightly fee per dog, and we reserve the right to withhold an additional cleaning fee if these rules are not followed.

PLEASE NOTE: We pull water from the lake! It is filtered, but NOT purified, so bring your own drinking water. We have a deeply-rooted community of low-key neighbors that we cherish and respect, so if you are looking for a place to party and be noisy this is not the venue for you. Please drive slowly (~10 mph) on the dirt road so it stays in good shape. There is room to park two cars next to the house. There is NO A/C. This property is not handicapped-accessible.

    I can’t say enough wonderful things about this property! The location was so peaceful and the lake is beautiful. The house is clean and well equipped with everything you need. Kyle was a great host and we loved having the boat. I highly recommend.

    We had an incredible time on this property. The lake is beautiful and the water very clean. The owner, Kyle, provided us with all the necessary information to make our stay enjoyable. We rented his boat and visited two beautiful beaches. They are next to each other, but the second one was amazing, and we were alone there. I really recommend this property; I don’t think you can find a better location.

    The location is absolutely beautiful and secluded. The home had plenty of space, a nice open layout and all new amenities. The kitchen had everything needed to make a proper multi-course meal for a good size group.The Lake itself is pristine. The only other place I've seen water this clear was in the Cayman Islands. Tunk lake has miles of magical undeveloped coastline preserve. The surrounding area has tons of amazing hikes and several other lakes, each with their own geological makeup and personality. If crowds are not your thing, go down the schoodic peninsula. It's across from Mount Desert Island. The tip of the penisula is actually a little known part of the Acadia National Park - just as beautiful, but without the people. While you're there, check out Winter Harbor. It's about 50 minutes away from the house. If you like to shop and go to bars and restaurants, Bar Harbor is bustling and less than an hour. The Tunk Lake region is an absolute hidden gem. The hosts were helpful and incredibly kind without being intrusive. They do not live in the next house over so you will have real privacy. Some people like easy access to their host, I prefer seclusion and hosts that trust we'll leave the property as we found it, or better. We'll be returning to Cozy Cove if we can. A+++++

    Had a lovely stay at Cozy Cove - two families - five adults and three kids (ages 3-6). It’s a great place for families! The house had everything we needed for a relaxing week - a well-appointed kitchen, laundry, a table big enough for 8, and a small living room / play area upstairs. The nearest grocery store is only 15 min away in Milbridge. The beach in front of the house is perfect for splashing around and you can watch sunfish swimming around from the dock. The water is clear and the lake is great for exploring by canoe or kayak. Local hiking trails around Tunk Lake are well maintained and beautiful and offer some nice day hike options. Took a day trip to Mound Desert Island on a rainy day and had a great time. Overall a great place to visit and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, easy lake vacation.

    Beautiful quaint property right on the lake. House has great views of the lake, perfect area to just step away from the world and enjoy nature. Tunk Lake was great, quiet, no boat traffic, warm water. 10/10 would stay again

    My friend and I had never been to Maine before, and wow this exceeded our expectations. We love nature, quiet, and hikes and this was the perfect place. Kyle was responsive right from the start and gave us great suggestions for nearby trails, as well for charming Bar Harbor. The house is perfectly clean and comfortable. On a sunny June evening we sat at the end of the dock with a glass of wine and local cheese, and savored the calm lake and beautiful trees. Highly recommended.

    This place is fabulous! The house is just as described, well stocked and very clean. Comfortable beds as well. The surrounding area is fantastic. Lake is pristine and the long sandy beaches on the adjacent shore are stunning. Hiking trails that rival anything on Acadia are right up the street without parking or fee issues. The Downeast Sunrise Trail is accessible through a trail about 1/4 mile up the street. This place is amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in getting away from the crowds and enjoying a real Maine lakefront experience.

    We took our family on vacation to Cozy Cove at Tunk Lake to experience a beautiful pristine lake. We were very, very pleased. The house is comfortable and the distance to the water is a few steps - very easy access. We will return!

    Just wow! Talk about a place right on the lake. This rental is so peaceful, so quiet, and you can immediately unplug and unwind. Our family was looking for a place to take a break from the daily grind and constant barrage of life, this place delivered. We've been to other lakes and experienced a party scene, crowded areas, and lots of wake. Not here. This is a serene, quiet, gentle place. The house was great and had everything you'd need and expect. Kyle was responsive with great recommendations. We rented the boat for our stay and it was a blast. We were able to explore all the nooks and crannies of the lake, definitely something to take advantage of!
