Take it easy at this unique getaway.

For dinner, stop by one of the lobster shacks just down the road to bring home your fresh Maine lobster! Come and disconnect (or stay connected if you’re working remotely!).

The Maine Wilderness Oasis is a comfortably place tucked in the Maine woods. It was a great place to stay while our family enjoyed all the great places to see and experience! And, Chausey was a fantastic host!

The property is outstanding, the house has a great layout, and the hosts had everything you could possibly need available. They even had things like a portable high chair and pack n play available for anyone who might travel with little guests and a little dog bed and dog dishes for anyone with a smaller dog. It was our first time at a VRBO and it was a seamless and amazing stay. The hiking trails on the property were great, and I had lots of chances for great sunrise photos in the woods. The location was close enough to civilization we could adventure out, but far enough away to feel like a true escape. There is so much to do in the area in nearby Bangor and Bucksport. 1A Collectibles and Schoolhouse Antiques, as well as the great small shops all over downtown Bangor and Steven King's original property are great tourist stops. The parks and hiking in nearby Sandy Point park and Ft Knox Observatory and Bridge were phenomenal. I will make one note for anyone looking at the pictures online, there is a single photo that VRBO has listed as a living room view, that is actually a photo from the nearby Ft Knox Observatory. Although the water is not super visible via the pine trees it is easily accessible with a super short walk, and it was nice to have a little seclusion. There are even a couple smaller waterfalls and creeks right on the property, which my son unearthed in the grasses while exploring near the hiking trails! Wonderful trip, 10/10!

The house is lovely with lots of room for everyone. The lake is enormous and private and we really enjoyed paddling the kayaks and paddle boards. Both the lake area and the property have great amenities, like sunscreen by the lake and a washer and dryer. We hiked the trail by the house and got to check out gorgeous forest scenery and scare a few innocent spiders. This was our best friend anniversary vacation and the house was perfectly situated near a bunch of cool stuff without the crowds. We visited Bar Harbor and Bangor and the crazy antique shop off the highway covered in skeletons and enjoyed every minute. Stopped into the observatory and Fort Knox on the way out of town. A+++++

We enjoyed our stay in the Cabin, loved the kitchen it was beautiful. We experienced a power outage while we were there (caused by a car wreck on the highway). I highly recommend adding some candles and flashlights to the property for situations like this. (we used the phone flashlight until they went dead). Thank you for allowing us to rent your cabin, we will use again if in the area. Sorry we didn't sign your guest book, with the power outage we had a lot to do in a short time having to get ready, and pack in the morning.

The dock was my family’s most enjoyable feature of the lake house. We would tube, canoe, kayak, and paddle board until the sun started to set. Thank you for the memories!

If you are looking to relax outdoors, this place would not be of interest. It only seats 3 comfortably on the small deck, and the fire pit in the back has no seating and is surrounded by weeds. The trek to the lake is a little tricky, watch your footing, The inside is very nice and clean with an amazing kitchen. It doesn't have central air just a window unit in the master bedroom, albeit we were pretty comfortable. Overall it was a nice spacious private cabin with an hour drive to Acadia that needs some manicuring and updates outside. Our host Chausey was fabulous, responding to all of our concerns immediately.

This was the perfect Maine getaway that my family and I were hoping for. We visited Arcadia National Park and did several hikes and sight seeing activities. On our rainy day, we visited Bangor where we did an escape room adventure followed by a wonderful dinner together at the Timber Kitchen and Bar. Thank you Chauncey for being such a wonderful and thoughtful host. We enjoyed our stay and made some new family memories. PS, For the cheesecake lovers out there, a little detour out to MoMo’s cheesecake in Ellsworth… totally worth it!!!

We were overjoyed with the property - it was exactly as described on the Vrbo website and scrupulously clean. We loved the proximity to the lake and all the wonderful amenities at the dock area - paddleboat, paddleboard, kayaks, paddles, lifejackets, seating, waste receptacles! It was amazing and the lake was not crowded. We visited Fort Knox nearby and spent great times in Bangor, Acadia National Park, and Bar Harbor. We were so happy to bring our dog with us and she was welcomed almost everywhere. We were very happy with our choice of rental home.

Our stay was too short, but very sweet. The house is a bit from Arcadia National Park, if that's your destination, but it was still worth it. The house is very clean and well equipped. The highlight is the lake! Great for kayaking and fishing. The road is a little close to the house and the hiking trail isn't well maintained, otherwise super stay!!

Our group of four adults stayed four nights at this beautiful property in a secluded area near Bucksport from 10/24-10/27. The house was perfect for us and is such a great location for getting to Acadia and Bar Harbor, Bangor, Belfast, and all the beautiful villages along the coast. We initially spent a couple of days in Portland, then drove up Highway 1 where we enjoyed visiting Bath, Camden, Belfast, and the Pemaquid lighthouse. We enjoyed staying at the house as a base for going to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor as well as Bangor. The house has lots of updates and we enjoyed hiking in the surrounding woods and down to the private dock on the lake. The host was great to work with, very responsive, and checking in and out was a breeze. We highly recommend the property and know you’ll love it too!

We had a short but wonderful stay! Our host was very informative and answered all our questions in a timely manner. She hustled to prepare the house for an early arrival time for us which is rare! Recent heavy downpours in the area made the walk to the dock a bit challenging but they had a nicely lit path with a bridge in place over the wettest area. We felt fortunate to have the opportunity to sit out on the dock so late in the season anyway! We will definitely recommend this property and look forward to returning.

Beautiful home, lots of privacy …has a lot to offer! Lake is across the street with plenty of toys to keep you occupied… kayaks and paddle boat. The owner was very helpful with the recommendations to different activities and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed Verona Wine and design restaurant in downtown Bucksport. We also found a winery and brewery about 30 minutes away call Penobscot brewery and winery. Such a beautiful area we thoroughly enjoyed our vacation here!

The owners of this rental in Bucksport, although new with minimal reviews, were very respondent to any questions" emails" that I had sent. I need to say that my questions were few. The premises is tastefully decorated with all the amenities that a family would expect. I am highly recommending this rental for this region of Maine. Jeff ( vacationer from CT)

Our family had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, clean and comfortable! The owner provides a lot of the things that make it feel like home and is quick to answer any and all questions. Being that we have young children, it can be difficult to remember everything, but the owner provided a lots of the things you need for little. We were so thankful to have found such an amazing house. Thank you for sharing your home with our family.
