Summary: Spectacular property and surroundings! We loved our stay here - absolutely beautiful immaculately clean home. Comfortable rooms and well equipped kitchen. Quiet secluded area with a new deck and private pier. Perfect for relaxing at the end of the day and taking in the lovely view of the clear water lake and surrounding hills. Thoughtfully placed tourist brochures were helpful. Host was superb and stayed in contact throughout our stay providing recommendations and ensuring our needs were met. Drive is about an hour to Bar Harbor. We were truly impressed with both Joe and his home! Wish we could have stayed longer. Would absolutely book again if in the area!

Summary: We stayed here as three families of four and had the most amazing time. From the beautiful panoramic lake views from the kitchen and living room to the manicured landscaping stretching down to the dock — we spent our time kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, fishing, lounging, fire-pitting, hiking, and s’more-making! The Owners, Joe and his brother, Doug really thought of everything when creating this newly constructed piece of lake-life paradise. Everything was very new and clean, as if we were the first to stay. Joe and Doug were super helpful, extremely communicative and hospitable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again in the future!

Summary: This Property is the Absolute the Best vacation rental I have ever rented. The house was furnished with quality furniture, linens and dinnerware. The house was plenty large enough for my family of 8 adults and 3 children ranging from 5 to 13. We rented a boat local boat rental company (Down East Rentals). The adults and children all totally enjoyed the house, boat and the time we all spent together. The host was helpful well beyond expectations. We all agreed that we would be retuning.

Summary: This house is a lovely hidden gem!! Located on a crystal clear lake with your own dock with maybe 6 total neighbors you feel like you have access to your own private lake! What a treasure this place is. Our two families had a lovely time swimming, paddle boarding and enjoying the firepit. We played cards, hiked nearby trails (Tunk Mt) and the stars at night are amazing! You are also located close (about 44-55 minute drive) to Acadia where we hiked and enjoyed the famous Cadillac Mt sunrise. The house itself is immaculately clean and absolutely well appointed down to the last detail! Every detail was thought through from Maine themed books to cornhole and games. Beds were very comfortable in all bedrooms and we slept great every night! Owners were very responsive, stopping by to drop off extra propane tank, extra firewood or to just introduce themselves. We absolutely loved this place, would love to come back and highly highly recommend this property to anyone (especially families) looking for a quiet relaxing beautiful experience on all fronts! Can not say enough good things about this place!
