If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to the owner prior to booking.
The fully maintained and newly renovated, mint condition 1920's Boathouse cottage is unique and has extensive beach, sunset, lake and mountain views from either the screen in porch or from the 10ft x 7ft picture window. The Cottage is just a few steps from a 250 yard long beach with fresh clear spring fed lake water and gradual sandy bottom swimming.
The Boathouse can also have an "add on" nearby one-room cabin made available. This cabin is separate, with private bathroom, outdoor shower, grill, basic cooking, coffee, fridge, deck, and a queen bunkbed. Please inquiry if interested. Owner can add it onto this rental prior to booking via VRBO.
My Maine property is a private 300-acre peninsula with a mile-long private gated driveway through some of Maine's last stand of old growth Hemlocks that then splits off to each of 4 private cabins. I have been renting the cabins to vetted families and couples since 1997 through online services such as VRBO. Each rental has privacy, separate parking, natural and unobstructed views of the lake, beach and mountains. Our completely private 250 yard long beach is the center piece. The Boathouse (google “VRBO 4017223ha”) and Three Bears Cottage (google “VRBO 102873ha”) are located on the south end of the beach and are separated by 25 yards. The Shadow Cabin (Google “VRBO 102874ha”) and the other cabin, not advertised, are located on the north end of the beach and are separated by 50 yards.
The property is large and I limit the number of people on the property at one time so that the general serenity of the property can be fully experienced by all without any worry about noise, beach use, shared amenities, and general privacy. There is a caretaker who will be there on the day of arrival, Wednesday for trash and assistance, and is on call for emergencies and to maintain the safety, sanitation, and operation of the property for you. The lake and surrounding area have abundant loons and their haunting calls can be heard day and night. They are a daily visitor to our private cove along with duck families, turtles, and bald eagles. The lake is superb for swimming and is completely spring fed so the water is crystal clear, fresh, and enjoyable. The water temperatures are very comfortable during the summer months and can be enjoyed for hours. Our large private beach offers a soft, clean (non-muck), sandy, gradual entrance into the water. We have a wooden floating raft that is perfect to fish from, swim or paddle to and from, as well as relax on while watching the schools of fish swim by. Our property is surrounded by a State of Maine land reserve (Donnell Pond Unit) that is an extension of Acadia National Park. There is fantastic hiking and exploring all within just a few minutes’ drive or locally a short walk or paddle, all of which has views over thousands of acres of protected land, Acadia National Park, seacoast, islands, lakes, mountains, and our property. We offer for our guests 5 one-man kayaks, 1 two-man kayak, 3 paddle boards, 5 kid kayaks, and a canoe to explore the lake, its remote beaches, the outlets, beaver dams, eagle nests, and fishing. The lake is 75% undeveloped/State owned so you can enjoy the completely secluded natural beaches and shores without worry. The entire property is in its natural state and could be physically challenging.
We do allow for an authorized dog(s) with the understanding that it is not allowed onto furniture, be destructive to the property, be overly bothersome, or be left unattended without being properly secured or crated. It is, however, a fantastic place for a dog especially for one that loves the water, beach, woods, hiking, and general free play. There is a $100 per dog fee. There will be other dogs on the property. Most return every year and are known and have been respectful. Please understand that dogs are often playing on the beach off-leash.

Summary: Without a doubt the best place we have ever stayed. The property is absolutely stunning- and has everything you need for a perfect Maine experience. Private beach, private hikes, and lake to yourself to kayak, canoe and swim, or enjoy a book in the hammock. The cabin is immaculate with gorgeous lake views- steps away from a beautiful beach and incredible mountain views. Our dog could not have been happier. Andrew is a super host and goes above and beyond to make sure his guests are well taken care of. His recommendations for food and hikes allowed for an authentic Maine visit. While the local area has everything you need, Acadia and Bar Harbor are very close. Couldn't recommend this place more.

Summary: Very clean and comfortable cabin with everything we needed for 4 days. The lake was crystal clear and refreshing. Fantastic hiking within 2 miles. Canadian border 80 minutes away and a beautiful State Park in Lubec Maine. Lots of reading and cribbage especially in the middle of hurricane Lee. Loved our 4 day getaway
