Cabin was perfect. Nobody was in the cabins next to us which made our trip so peaceful. Lake was calm with very few boats the entire week we stayed.

I wanted to give 5 stars. I wanted to be able to relax and enjoy my stay. I really didn’t expect much and was happy with rustic. However, no one communicated with me that they were having issues with the water. Which meant no flushing toilet. I would have been okay with that had I been prepared, or would have even been fine with a portapotty or outhouse but after contacting the support number and someone saying they would be getting someone there to fix it within an hour or 2 and me wasting my whole day waiting around for no one to show was rude. Luckily it was only me, had this been a family of 4, that toilet would have filled up quickly. Super disappointed and I feel like I should be refunded at least a day…

Perfect Location
The lakefront was totally beautiful. Only 20 minutes to Ellsworth where you can get whatever you need, or go out to eat. Only 40 minutes to Acadia for some amazing hikes. It is a cabin so don't expect a luxury hotel, but it was very comfortable.

Carefree Point 7-2022
Property was very clean. All the appliances are in good working condition. Steps away from a very secluded dock and beach. Water is crystal clear and a few steps out you're over your head in the water. The water pressure in the shower was a little low, but having stayed at multiple Maine cabins this is to be expected. Both rooms have a fan with helped with some of the hotter nights. There is a TV, but we never turned it on. Propane grill was filled and cleaned. Plenty of pots, pans, and dishes in the kitchen. Overall a great stay. My wife, dogs, and I had a great time. Thank you - Shaun and Becky

Great location!
The property exceeded our expectations, pictures do not capture how nice this place is. Brand new grill & toaster over was a nice touch, the cabin is just steps to your own private beach with fire pit. No Wi-Fi but good cell service. Furniture was what you would expect at a camp style rental, all in all the place was pretty clean and very enjoyable. Bring the bug spray and watch for ticks. It’s pretty a very wooded area which is to be expected so far up in Maine. There are neighbors close by but you can tell this is a lake where people respect privacy and keep the noise down especially at night.

It's all about the lake.
Cabin needs cleaning/dusting and a new refrigerator. Maybe some reading lamps. Otherwise, linens and towels are wonderful and bathroom is very clean. But it's all about the lake. A short walk and you're on the beach which is where we were most of the time. Had a good time.

If you're looking for an idyllic setting away from life
Charming cottage, very roomy. The appliances are dated but that's not really a deal breaker because you're looking to get away from it all, right? I would suggest that it does need more places to hang stuff. Nothing for your outerwear when you come in, no closets, bars, or much of anything except for a few hooks on the back of the bedroom door. It is about a mile and a half on a dirt road to get there but the road is well maintained. The Green lake fish hatchery is just a mile away and they have some great walking/hiking trails.

Nice cabin, but needs maintenance
Would have given this house 4 stars, but we arrived to the cabin with the septic overflowing and had to deal with the smell of sewage for 5 days. There was also a sputtering/spitting water system that made taking showers or washing dishes unpredictable. Staff came out to take care or both issues, but this meant 3 different days of waiting for repairmen and adjusting our plans. The beach area at lake was very nice and we spent much of our time there. The cabin was comfortable and had all the amenities we need. Albeit some items like the fridge and toaster could definitely be replaced. We did have an enjoyable time, but I would not book again with this listing.

Lovely quiet get away
We were quite surprised by how far back the cabin was nestled in the beautiful Maine woods. It was a cute little cabin with running water and warm showers but the best part was the gorgeous lake just steps away with its own little beach front. We enjoyed days of swimming, fishing, and kayaking. I would recommend this cabin to anyone and hope to stay again!

Quaint Cottage but could use some improvements
Cottage was ok but things I would change: New mattress (very uncomfortable), new furniture (old and extremely uncomfortable-I used my own folding rocker to relax indoors), lighting above table, cupboards for food storage (had to leave food on the counter due to lack of storage) Glazing over the bathroom window (directly in neighbors sight of view, we placed a towel over the window for privacy) Other than this we really enjoyed our stay. A warning though, this cabin is way out in the woods but not secluded. Neighbors are right beside you and it can get loud at times.

Relaxing Remote Escape
We enjoyed our stay. It was very relaxing, especially sitting by the fire at night while listening to the loons. It was great that there were kayaks provided — we took them out and saw a bald eagle and some loons! The cabin is remote and the road in is a bit bumpy, but our Yaris made it in no problem. The cabin didn’t have as many amenities as some places we’ve stayed, but the essentials were provided and we didn’t end up needing anything. The only real negative was the amount of black flies and mosquitoes, particularly by the lake, but there’s nothing that anyone can do about. We’d recommend this place for anyone looking to escape and relax by a pretty lake.

Peaceful
This camp certainly was peaceful, being somewhat off the beaten path. Most everything we needed was there. There was heat for the cooler nights. The kitchen had all we needed to cook meals. Good location to visit other areas like Bangor or Bar Harbor. The town of Ellsworth had restaurants like Finn's and a stop at Momo's cheesecakes was very interesting.
