A beautiful house on the lake. We really enjoyed our time kayaking and fishing on the lake. The property is just as it was described. I would highly recommend this property if you are looking for a quiet spot to get away and relax.

I would book this home again. It was beautiful, clean, plenty of room and we had all the necessary items for a comfortable 4 days. It was a quick walk down a beautiful path to get to Green lake. This lake is clear, clean, and the area quiet. We were protected from the wind and couldn’t see any neighbors. Very private for swimming and sunbathing. We sat out on the dock every night to watch the sunset, so pretty. We used the kayaks and water toys at the house and didn’t turn the tv on once! We have teenagers so that should tell you how awesome this place is. So much more to explore, sad we had to leave. Ellsworth was maybe 15 minutes away for groceries or eating out. I read a review that docked stars because it was hard to find. Not true if you follow your gps. I also saw a review that docked stars because they couldn’t figure out the keypad to open the door, but they were using the wrong one! The keypad is on the deadbolt, easy peasy putting the code in, no issues.

Our family of 5 + grandparents have never been to this region. I messaged the property owner via Vrbo but received no response. I contacted Vacasa customer support and received partial answers to questions. When I booked the property, it was listed to fit 8 ppl, but upon arrival, we found out there was no sofa bed. We received a $25/night reimbursement for the inconvenience. The overgrown bushes around the path to the main entrance made it tricky for us to bring our belongings into the house. The trees in the backyard are starting to cover the lake view from the living room and dining area. We didn't use the canoes because of how difficult it would have been to move them into the water through a narrow path. The spacious and comfortable house had linens, towels, bathroom essentials (soap, shampoo, and conditioner), kitchen essentials (salt, pepper, oil, soy sauce, hot chocolate, tea, coffee, sugar, paper products, and sandwich bags) games, puzzles, legos, books, standing fans, and ceiling fans. We enjoyed cool evenings/mornings during our stay, but the house can warm up on hot and humid days. We brought our Apple TV because we weren't sure if the house had a Roku system or a smart TV for us to stream. I contacted guest service to learn about the check-out procedure (a list of instructions would easily help guests out). This property is located in a very quiet and secluded area with very comfortable rooms and I would stay in this house again.

You can tell this place used to be good, but it is going downhill rapidly and needs upkeep. Location is a bit difficult to find initially (Google has Gator Way wrong) and roads a bit sketchy to get in. The place itself is very dated. TV didn't function properly. Deck railings and part of the dock were loose and need to be secured. Couch is terrible and needs replaced. Basement is NOT available, so the listing is inaccurate there. Grill out of propane. Place is getting overgrown with trees and plants. Walk to the lake is downhill a bit and through some trees. No AC was known going in, at least they have several fans to make it more tolerable. Overall OK stay but wouldn't return.

The property was perfect for a several day trip to Acadia. We were two couples and kids and there was room enough for everybody. Everything was clean and all the expected amenities were there and great. The only negative for us was the the downstairs bed was super soft and uncomfortable - but I also realize that's a subjective thing. Some people like soft beds. We didn't get to use the kayak or canoe cos it was too cold but they had all their paddles and looked like they would have been fun to go out on.

We lucked out with the weather! Lovely home. Location not for anyone with mobility issues. Lake is so clean and we used all of the water toys. Kitchen is nice with full size fridge and washer dryer. Great size rooms
