Summary: Beautiful spot on the lake. A simple cabin, well loved, so if you don’t need anything fancy, they have all the necessities AND kayaks for use on the lake.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Check in was easy and the host gave great directions to the cottage which was helpful as cell service in this area is poor. The cottage was accurately described and is very well stocked with almost everything you can think of besides the actual food for your trip. Felt very much like we were staying at a family cottage. The view from the dock was amazing!

Summary: The yard, view, lake, dock and fire pit were great! Communication was great and prompt and the price was good. Unfortunately, the cottage was dirty. We don’t mind old or outdated but it was dirty. Appliances were not cleaned and some didn’t work. Don’t think the blankets have ever been washed. Floors were dirty and rugs weren’t vacuumed. It’s a shame because the location and large deck were great.

Summary: 10/10 Understand that this is a quintessential rustic cabin in Northern Maine. If you understand that: you will thoroughly enjoy this cabin. A slice of Maine cultural history. The property manager has excellent communication and was so kind to mail my daughter’s clothing back to us! The property is everything you would ever want and need for an isolated cabin on a lake. I didn’t mind the 45 min drive to Acadia and back, as it showcases the diversity of Northern Maine (farms, lobsters/sea, forests).

Summary: This cabin was absolutely fantastic for our first trip to Maine !!! It was SOOO off the beaten path, with excellent ridiculously close access to the fishing dock (which we used and caught many fish) and kayak-launching shoreline (which we didn't have time to use). The cabin and interior are super dated (think 70's), but also immaculately clean (we went barefoot and never felt a speck of dust) so it was absolutely charming! I loved seeing games/activities/posters/ utensils from my childhood :) Main bed was too small for our liking, but with 3 twins in the kids' room we were able to all sleep comfortably. We brought a sound machine, which was on-point since there are no ceilings separating the rooms; just walls. It would have been nice to have basic toiletries (soap, shampoo, conditioner) because once we figured out we needed that, we were way too far from a store to "run get some". We all used the hand soap provided for our first shower, and then we left our shampoo/soap for the next guy in hopes to improve his experience :) I would LOVE to come back and stay here, but I would NOT use it as my hub for Acadia---it took us a full hour ONE WAY to get in and out of Acadia each day, which felt like a waste of precious time either chilling at the cabin, or exploring Acadia. This cabin is HIGHLY recommended for a complete getaway--I hope to come back! Price is reasonable! BTW: There is Keurig machine but no K cups so bring your own :)

Summary: Loved staying here with my family. Two children ages 4 & 7 loved the pier overlooking molasses pond. Fishing was great (sunfish), grilled, fires at night, heard loons and close to Bar Harbor. Shops are close by including lobster restaurants for take out! Everything was great! Cottage has everything needed! Money well spent for unforgettable memories!

Summary: The cabin was nice and so was the area. We really enjoyed the time at the lake there as well. Sunrises were very pretty and the kayaking was fun. We appreciate the memorable visit.
