A dream vacation
I absolutely love staying here! A beautiful view, so peaceful with the lake every morning. It was a save for me with the microwave and stove so I can cook dinner for myself since I didn’t want to rely on the fire for food. A dream solo vacation with just me a dog. Highly recommend!

Had a great time.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at a rustic house near Acadia, and it was an unforgettable experience. The house itself was charming and cozy, providing the perfect blend of comfort and rustic appeal. The highlight of the stay was the stunning pond right in front of the house. The serene views and the tranquil atmosphere made it a perfect getaway. The location is ideal for nature lovers and anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend this beautiful retreat for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Perfect Maine Getaway
Great solo trip option and completely as advertised. Nice spot for getting to the National Park especially the less explored Schoodic Peninsula but not a taxing drive to Mount Desert Island either. Great small town with several eating options along the main road. Cabin was nice for charging devices and keeping drinks cold and refreezing ice packs. Even the portapotty was clean! Beautiful scenery right on the water, nobody out in the bay when I used the kayak. Would highly recommend this spot if you're looking to disappear and recharge!

Fabulous private getaway!!
A classic "upta camp" Maine experience. Private location, but a quick trip to eat out or visit coastal areas. Our dogs had a blast being off leash, swimming, running and playing. If you enjoy camping, you’ll love this. Bring all your supplies and enjoy some peace and quiet! We will definitely book again!

Glamping with an awesome view!
The cabin was great! It was a little further from Acadia than we thought, but worked out fine for our short stay. We knew trash removal was our responsibility but struggled to find somewhere to take it. A local told us about stickers and that trash day was Thursday. Great getaway for a rustic experience. Basic and met our needs. We would come back again.

Wow, gorgeous
We loved our stay here. The cabin was the perfect getaway. It was 100 steps above camping, but rustic enough to get all of the benefits of camping. The water in the pond was warm and clean. We swam and kayaked every day. The breeze kept the bugs away. We met some neighbors while on the pond who were incredibly kind. Other than that, we never saw a soul! Winter harbor was 10 minutes away to get the ferry to Bar Harbor. The ferry was great for sight seeing and the captain and deck hand were incredible. The Schoodic Peninsula was 15-ish minutes away and our favorite part of Acadia. We cannot wait to come back. We feel so lucky to have come to this incredible spot.

Great cabin
It's more than one step above camping with the electricity, refrigerator and stove and couch. We were only there a couple nights but got to put the canoe in the lake and take a trip to Schoodic Point. This was my second time staying here and would love to come back again.

Great time exploring the Schoodic Peninsula and Acadia National Park. The views of the pond and the privacy of the cabin make it such a fun vacation. Our dog Balto LOVES to swim and goes crazy when we’ve come here. Such a beautiful location and well maintained cabin
