Summary: it was a very peaceful area. The use of the canoe to paddle the pond was a bonus. I gave the cleanliness only 2 stars as it was obvious no one had been in prior to our arrival. There were hundreds of dead & live ants. Also piles of sawdust on counters. I mention this only because it needs serious pest control, the ant traps are helping but only slightly. Otherwise I give 4 stars for cleanliness! Strangely the gas stove gas supply was turned off behind the stove. This reads like nothing but complaints but we enjoyed our stay immensely & just feel for the sake of the cottage & business to bring attention to the ant problem.

Summary: We stayed for one night in this lovely, rustic cottage and wished we had more than one day to enjoy the amenities, which was a fantastic lakeside spot with a dock, fire pit, kayaks, and wrap around deck. The cottage was charming and cozy, with an unusual layout with a loft above the 2nd floor bedroom. The one minor glitch to the trip was having to call Vacasa repeatedly for the access code to the house, which we did not get until we are at the house.

Summary: Cool spot on the water, the house was spacious and the second floor primary bedroom was comfortable and clean. The dock seemed well maintained along with the fire pit. Wood was provided, stacked near the fire pit. Internet worked great. This property is near some active ATV trails, and we had some unwelcome visitors our last night with 3 loud ATVs out on the dirt road in front of the cabin and trails until nearly midnight. If you love four wheelers - great! If not, then this location may not be for you.

Summary: Rustic cabin with most required amenities, comfy bed, spacious for 2-4 people. The dock on the pond is superb. Such a gorgeous spot for coffee, reading or snoozing. Very nice to have kayak etc and paddle around the pond which is super quiet. We rode bikes on the nearby mixed use path which was fun. Easy access to Ellsworth and Acadia. Recommend!

Summary: We loved the cozy cabin! We went in August and it was great. The pond next to the cabin is stocked with bass. We caught and released so many! Highly recommended for anyone that wants to fish.
