Thank you for your feedback after your recent stay at Carefree Point. One of the best things to read is that this is a second stay! We love when guests come back year after year and make our home their own home-away-from-home and create special memories all while enjoying the lake. See you next time!

Positives: It was a cute cabin. Had all the kitchen items you needed to cook. All paper goods supplied and towels for the bathroom. Nice size bathroom. We thought there was only one room with a bed and then a futon couch, but was nicely surprised by a second bed in a nook off the living room. Had movies and a few games available. Beautiful view and close to the lake. Had a place to have a fire and cook s'mores. Quiet area.Negatives: It was not made clear how far down a dirt road the property was. There were other cabins that were very close which we did not realize. The property lines were not defined. The bed mattresses need to be updated. They were very uncomfortable.

Kimberly - we are glad you and your family/friends enjoyed their time at Carefree Point. The lake access and fire pit for s'mores are guest favorites for sure. We appreciate your feedback after your recent stay.

Nice Calm Stay

My family and I truly enjoyed ourselves. Such easy access to the water. We brought one more two person kayak so all four of us could go out on the water together. The loons were amazing, eagles, king fisher, so much to see and enjoy. We may have been lucky with a particularly quiet neighbor week and not too hot temperatures even for July. We loved the peace and quiet, thanks so much.

We loved carefree point!! It was rustic enough to feel unplugged, but provided all the amenities needed for our weekend stay! We enjoyed every minute! Coffee by a morning fire, overlooking that beautiful lake, was my favorite part! We will definitely be back, and highly recommend this beautiful spot!

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.

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!

We had a fantastic vacation here! The beach was perfect for our three kids to swim, and the lake was beautiful—much quieter than we expected. We spent a lot of time swimming, fishing, and even frogging, which made for some great family memories.The house itself met all of our needs and comfortably fit our family of five. We especially appreciated the newer Weber grill—it was clean and perfect for grilling dinners.That said, the house could benefit from a deeper cleaning and a little handyman attention to a few small details. The water at the fixtures wasn’t the best, but it worked fine for a camp.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would come back without hesitation!

Lovely weekend

We had a lovely small family weekend at Carefree Point. The owners were around and made themselves available to be helpful and also ensured that we had sufficient privacy and that we enjoyed our time. The home is beautifully simple and rustic with a slight retro flair. The beach front and the lake are glorious. We had all that we needed and really loved our time. Can't wait to return!
