The cedar tree-lined edge with mossy rocks, ferns and boulders feels like stepping back in time. The north end is home to an evergreen forest. The entire island has mature Tsuga (Hemlock trees) and unique plants. Mushrooms and wildflowers bloom in abundance.

Escape from it all

Staying at Tsuga island is nothing less than relaxing. All you need is right there on the island. The house was very well stocked with everything you will need. We only left the house to buy food! Gwen and Scott have gone above and beyond to make you feel welcome. From the moment we walked in with our 4 children and 2 large 9 month puppies we were all smiles. The kids loved lake life and exploring the island. They were also in their glory with the kids room and secret door! Even the dogs knew how to open the door by the end of our stay. They also thoroughly loved running the island. Maine is glorious in August! If you get the chance this is a must stay!!! We hope to be back again.

A week in August by the lake

The house/surroundings have fantastic ratings and they are well deserved. It is an extremely well maintained property and delivers on everything advertised. There is obvious attention to detail in how the property is maintained and in many years of renting, this is the best maintained rental that I have come across. I chose this house as my wife wanted a house by a lake - my kids and I prefer to be beside the ocean, but I caved this once ! I still prefer the ocean (we did a 2 hour each way day trip to Acadia one day), but the lake was great - and I did catch a 2lb+ Smallmouth bass on a fly which was great .... if you use a boat engine, be careful about rocks. They are not all marked with a buoy, and you can find some the hard way, as we did - but no damage done, just a scary moment or two, If you go slow the first day you will get the hang of the place - and it is not an issue. Overall a fantastic rental with fantastic hosts !

Perfect retreat

Gwen and Scott thought of everything to make your vacation easy as pie! The house was well appointed,very clean, and larger than expected. Beds were very comfortable. The outside area was fabulous! Plenty of seating,beautiful landscaping, little paths throughout the property! Our dogs had a terrific time running around off leash! Swimming everyday! They were pooped, and actually started crying as we pulled out to head for home. Thanks for a great week!!! Pennelli family

Best in over 20 years of Doggy vacations

It is perfect! Great privacy while close to stores. Great swimming for humans and dogs. Thoughtful gift and flowers. I would definitely go back next year. Usually there is a few things not ideal for us or our dogs but this place had it all. Thank you so much.
