Cabin was adorable, clean, with access to boats and other equipment! Would book again.

My friends and I absolutely loved this short get-away home we had on the lake. We swam in the beautiful and clear lake every chance we had, taking turns kayaking, paddle boarding, and canoeing too. This home has basically everything you need for the most serene time away from the city - kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, towels, sheets, blankets, cooking appliances, firepit, firewood, fire starters, outdoor grill, etc,. This unfortunately also means that the WiFi isn't gonna be good (2MPS), and there will be lots of bugs that will fly in at night if you're not careful with the doors and windows. But even without the bugs flying in (which is natural and comes with living in the woods), the house also seems to be lacking a little bit of TLC when it comes to cleanliness - there were cobwebs in many nooks and crannies around the house, and insects smeared on the walls in the bathroom and kitchen. Other than those 2 points, I do want to iterate that it was a perfect spot, and we are excited to be come back again :)

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

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

Emma C2024-10-04

Such a lovely little cottage in the woods. Very private but not too far of a drive off the main road. We sat on the dock for almost the whole day and never saw anyone else out on the lake. Perfect place for a family or couple or an individual to relax and connect with nature and play on the water. Beware the water is freezing and the wifi does not work.
