What an iconic Maine lakehouse vacation! The house has plenty of space, and did I mention seemingly never-ending views of the water?! Not only was it beautiful, it had amenities galore, to include kayaks, life jackets, fishing poles and gear, board games, puzzles and lots of Maine guidebooks! We would definitely do this again!

early May 2025

The house at Flat Rock was great. It was beautiful inside, spacious, comfortable, very well stocked, great view, lots of things to do that were supplied for us. We didn't get to enjoy the outside much because of the weather, but it would be a great spot in the warmer months. It is about 45 minutes to Acadia and about 35 minutes to Bangor. The house was easy to find, with directions supplied by the owners. All information needed was in a binder in the house, which helped a lot too. Internet went out a few times, probably because it's a remote area. Plenty of room for sleeping for a larger party than we had. Would definitely recommend staying there.

Amazing Lakeside Getaway

This place definitely surpassed expectations. The home is comfortable and easy to find. Nice to be out of the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor and Acadia itself but still an easy drive. The flat rock area (a slab of rock which extends into the lake itself) was incredible for watching the sunset. Nothing like waking up lakeside with the water just outside the window. The host was gracious and quick to respond. We had an excellent time. Would absolutely recommend to anyone and would stay there again ourselves in a heartbeat.

Amazing vacation full of memories that will last a lifetime.

This cabin was a little sentimental piece of paradise right on the waters edge, that was full of character, warmth and charm. Communication responses were quick, honest and upfront. We will most certainly return again in the future.i

Quiet and serene get away

We loved everything about the cabin! The owner is very responsive and made the experience simple and seemless. The location is perfect and the house has everything you could possibly need to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. It is centralized and convenient to so many great places to visit. The cabin is very cozy and felt like home. We had a wonderful time star gazing and photographing the milky way from Flat Rock. We even captured a bit of the aurora borealis, which we have never seen before! It was amazing to see so many stars in the night sky. We even heard an owl while stargazing. The fall colors were beautiful. Our entire family had a wonderful time and we miss it already! We can't wait to go back.

The Best Part of Our Vacation!

Our family will be talking about Flat Rock for years to come. This charming property is fully appointed so we could enjoy everything we wanted to. The kayaks and fishing were a hit, and the views of the lake were picture perfect. Communication with the host was seamless. We were close enough to town to grab what we needed, but far enough away to feel like we had our own little spot of paradise. Anyone considering this listing to take in Bar Harbor and Acadia should book now!

Sunset Heaven

Flat rock was a wonderful stay in a cozy camp with an eclectic feel, like grandmas house but on a lake in Maine. Well-stocked kitchen and enough space to spread out for 4-6 people. We visited relatives in Ellsworth so the location was perfect, close to family and Acadia national park.

About the host

Hosted by Sheree Cave

Host profile image
My husband's grandfather built this camp in 1940. We recently purchased the cabin and have spent many months renovating it. We added AC/ heating, an extra bathroom, new electrical and plumbing, washer and dryer, many new windows and flooring. We love Flat Rock (which is an actually place on the backside of the cabin, for which is got it's name!). And we can't wait to share it with you....

Why they chose this property

This camp is a centerpiece for our family and we want to share it with you.

What makes this property unique

Flat Rock is the only flat ledge on the entire 12 miles of shoreline.
