This has been one of our absolute favorite stays. Incredible views, very comfortable for our whole family, well stocked kitchen supplies and linens, and great activities for the kids. We loved waking up to the gorgeous views of the lake, taking the kayaks out, and enjoying fireside evenings together. Thank you for lifelong memories with our family.

Beautiful house with a spacious yard that was great for the dog to run around on. Backyard backs to the water which provided a beautiful view to look at in between my trips back-and-forth to Acadia. The sunroom was perfect with many windows to enjoy the view while still being protected and comfy inside. All the amenities you would need are there for the kitchen. Definitely a great base for my dog and I for our trip to Acadia. Very peaceful! I definitely recommend

Overall we loved this place! It was so very clean, spacious and well stocked with a beautiful view. We used the kayaks and the ping pong table. Location was ideal! We travelled to Schoodic Point one day, south to Belfast one day and the rest of the days we explored Acadia. We would love to stay here again!

There is no way we could have asked for a better place to spend our vacation in Acadia, than at this place. The quiet. The solitude. The fire pit. The amenities. Just the best! Got lucky and watched a pod of seals feeding and a family of bald eagles for hours on our last night.

The property was beautiful and clean. It had everything we needed for a two week stay. My family enjoyed the home and that it was located on a cove with kayaks. When we did venture out to site see the grandchildren couldn’t wait to get back to the property to play outside and explore the cove.
