I don’t often leave reviews, but I feel compelled to say that our 4-day stay at Casey’s beautiful lake cabin was nothing short of amazing! The views are breathtaking, the house is tastefully updated, and we really had everything we needed. We have 4 kids ranging from age 5-14, and everyone enjoyed our stay. We relaxed in the backyard, on the dock, fished a little bit, and got out on the kayaks a few times. We took the roughly 1hr drive into Bar Harbor for dinner and to Acadia Nat’l Park and it really wasn’t bad - would have been nice to be a little closer, but I would rather have had the serenity and peace of Phillips Lake over busy Bar Harbor any day.
I will say, as others have mentioned, that the upstairs loft setup is a little odd with just a twin trundle bed and recliner chair. The master bedroom en-suite is gorgeous. I would recommend for those with small children or those that just don’t want to sleep downstairs alone, bring a blowup mattress for them to stay closer to you. This is what we did and it worked wonderfully.
One more thing to note - we drove in from Buffalo, NY, so we didn’t get to the house until after dark. It can be a little tricky to navigate those unknown dirt roads in the dark and the GPS doesn’t make it clear which house you’re supposed to be at. By the 2nd night we were pros, but just thought it may be helpful to other renters to consider when planning.
Thank you for opening your beautiful home to us - we hope to come back!
