This is an excellent property, beautifully clean, tastefully decorated and very well equipped. We stayed for 5 nights during a road trip through New England. We used it as a base to explore Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and the Maine coast. We found the location perfect, about 30 mins drive to wherever we needed to go. It was extremely comfortable, peaceful and with the most incredible views over the lake. Very sad to leave.
