Stunning views! Comfortable and well loved cabin. All cooking equipment and supplies provided. Washer and dryer were very helpful. We walked down the path to the beach at least once a day! Lots of interesting books and board games. Peaceful and quiet. We loved watching the birds outside on the deck every morning and the chipmunks. Plenty of room for a family, very comfortable couches and lighting in living room perfect to tuck into a book or just relax. The night sky was breathtaking and the fire pit ideal for roasting s'mores. A slice of heaven!

We had a lovely time staying here. The location exceeded our expectations, including the drive through the meadows and the woods. The house is comfy and well furnished, and the preparations are thoughtful and many (paper goods, towels, spices). The sizeable deck is a pleasure and we spent much time there sitting and reading and dining. As an enthusiastic backyard birder, I was delighted by the variety of company drawn to the feeders on the deck.
And then there is the daily evening show as the sun sets, the lights change on and over the Bagaduce River. On beyond lovely.

We were blown away with the views and the location right from the start. The house was very relaxing and comfortable. Not having a TV in the house was great to have my kids focus more on family time. We found a hidden gem only a few minutes from the house for a great lunch stop and it was called. Crazy Otto’s street food… I highly recommend. It was a very hot week, so I’m glad that I brought my easy up to have on the deck for shade during the hot times of the day and the couple short rain showers that we had. overall, I would give this place a 10 out of 10 for vacation spots with the family

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was great with a nice view from the deck and eating area. Well stocked kitchen. It was a great location - very private. The view was awesome. A lot to do in the area. The owner was great to work with and very responsive. We enjoyed the campfire as well. We plan on staying again.

We loved celebrating our 21st Anniversary at Oak Ledge. It is a beautiful, peaceful, relaxing place with special touches. Our stay fed our souls and we made wonderful memories. We look forward to coming back next year. Will definitely be recommending it to family and friends!

Great time away despite the overcast/rainy weather. Maine /Acadia/Blue Hill just beautiful home away from home destinations! Our little family (dogs included) had a nice vacation.

I will start by saying all the reviews are true. This place is amazing! 10 days prior to our arrival my wife had a serious accident that had our visit in doubt. We were hopeful the setting would be good for her recovery . It was perfect. The location is just beautiful. Peaceful, private, comfortable...I could go on but I think you get the idea. We really enjoyed bird watching, reading, cooking lunch and dinners on the BBQ and watching the sunsets while having an evening cocktail. Thank you Steve and Lisa for letting us stay at your house and for the excellent communication throughout our 4 wk stay. Eric & Liz

Everything was perfect for our needs, and the extras much appreciated. VRBO description was completely accurate. We will savor the peace, quiet and wonderful views for the coming year and hope to be back again. Hosts fully responsive in a timely way.
It was everything we had hoped for and more.

The cabin is so cozy, has everything you need and extra supplies. A library of books and magazines was an unexpected bonus on our rainy days. Location is perfect, so quiet, the grounds are beautiful and you can walk right to the water for low tide critter searching. House and water have amazing sunset views. Beds are super comfy and all rooms have water views. 2 huge decks. So much wild life. Our family of four did some day trips around the area, but our favorite thing of the trip was the cabin and grounds.

The directions were impeccable but we still thought we were lost. We arrived at night so we couldn’t see the beauty until the morning. But we walked into some lovely Maine snacks and that was so nice.
The house was decorated very classy and it was clean. It was exactly as described.
We saw so many birds, chipmunks, hummingbirds and we walked down to the ocean and saw crabs and horseshoe crabs.
If you opened the windows, you were surrounded by amazing nature sounds. Our only regret was we didn’t get to enjoy it enough and should have booked more days.
Thank you for the hospitality and amazing house.

This home is a perfect rural Maine retreat - the view and the grounds are stunning and the home is cozy and feels like staying with family. So many thoughtful touches throughout. Steve was responsive and helpful and everything was just as described. I only wish we could have stayed longer!

Wonderful rental and property an hour away from Acadia National Park. Pet friendly. Non-stop bird action at the feeders. Comfy beds and couches. Almost didn’t leave the house (but we did). Next time, we’ll stay longer.

Steve and Lisa’s place is one of the best vacation rentals we’ve ever stayed at. The views of the Bagaduce river can’t be beat and the house sits at the back of a quiet property surrounded by woods. Even though it feels like you’re in the middle of remote Maine, you’re actually smack dab in the middle of food and hiking Maine paradise. Just minutes down the road is Tinderhearth bakery, which is one of - if not the best - bakery in Maine. Your even closer to Bagaduce Lunch, an award winning seafood shack known for their fried clams. And you’re an easy 15 minute drive to Blue Hill that includes some the best options to buy seafood, wine, and tons of other local Maine food. Be sure to visit the Blue Hill wine shop and co-op. For hiking, the hike up Blue Hill will give you the most stunning views of Mount Desert Island and Blue Hill Bay. All around the Peninsula includes trails maintained by the Blue Hill Heritage Trust. Great trails with spectualr views all within an easy drive from Oak Ledge. But even if you never left the property, you’d have one of the best views in Maine. The house is well stocked and very comfortable so it makes it hard to want to leave!

My wife and I stayed at Oak Ledge for 4 nights. The property is simply wonderful. A waterfront property with a sweet house with a great view that is remote (very rural and peaceful) but not TOO far from larger grocery stores, restaurants etc... The house has every amenity you need or want and is a very easy place to relax in. We would absolutely stay at this property again.

We had a great time. We even say a horseshoe crab on the rocks below the house during low tide!

Steve and Lisa are the best possible hosts- friendly, communicative, and always ready to be helpful if needed.
The place is a dream for someone that loves a magnificent view.
The views from both upstairs and downstairs are of the Bagaduce River which actually looks like a gorgeous bay. The sunsets are miraculous.
The house is super comfy and has everything that one could possibly need unless one can't live without a TV haha! But there is decent internet so streaming works well most of the time. But I can't imagine lovelier nature sounds and sights and sunsets that make it a most peaceful stay.

Wonderful family gate away
We had a great vacation in this cozy beautifully decorated secluded property. The views are incredible....you can see the water from living, dinning, bedrooms and balcony. The nature and peace and water and woods were just what we were looking for. We saw birds on the bird feeder and we got some good pictures of a hummingbird. This place is conveniently located with 1 hour drive from Bar Harbor / Acadia National Park. Nearest supermarket in Blue Hill is not far (around 10 miles) and has everything you would need. This is such a quaint place, giving us a place to escape to and help enjoy our vacation to the fullest.

This was exactly what we were looking for on our vacation! Everything we needed was at the house!
Not only was this place peaceful and comfortable, but it was decorated so wonderfully that this only added to our experience there! There is a washer/dryer and dishwasher at the house plus a pantry. And the view was absolutely breath-taking! We all got out of the car and said, "Oh my god!" There are sliding glass doors out onto the patio with a grill, seating and large table. You will enjoy watching the beautiful sunsets at this coastal escape!

Lovely Get-Away!
This was a beautiful location for our 31st anniversary get-away weekend. Quintessential Maine scenery with views overlooking the water which could be enjoyed from the large picture windows in the bedrooms or from the deck with table and seating for outdoor dining and relaxing. Decor was lovely throughout the house, and the handmade soap and anniversary welcome gifts of bubbly, blueberry jam and coffee were a thoughtful touch. Overall a cut above with extras that made our visit special. Location was convenient to different attractions such as antique stores, nature trails, and only 1 hr to Acadia National Park. Highly recommended!

Incredible View
Stayed in this lovely house for 3 nights. Only an hour from Bar Harbor and Acadia. Brought home lobsters and enjoyed the evening on the beautiful deck with the birds. No TV but even with a teenager there were games to keep us busy.

Wonderful Choice !
My husband and I have never been to Maine and decided to make the trip for our anniversary. We don't like crowds, and in this pandemic are even more careful. A stay at Oak Ledge was just what we needed. The view from the home is spectacular both quiet and private. The interior of the home was cozy, welcoming and everything we could possibly need was provided.

A Little Slice of Paradise
We absolutely loved staying at this beautiful cabin in Brooksville. The view was phenomenal! It was one of the most peaceful settings we have ever had the opportunity to enjoy. The house was cute, fully equipped, comfortable and the King size bed in the master bedroom was yummy! We had great day adventures in the Brooksville area. We were so excited to be back at the cabin after a day exploring. A 10 star VRBO in our opinion! The Wards

This place is amazing! The nature and solitude and water and sunsets were just what we were looking for. The house was so comfortable. The deck overlooking the water was perfect. We were sad to leave and hope to return soon!

Perfect spot
We had a wonderful three nights--the view from the porch is incredible and so peaceful. The house is well appointed and the beds are comfy. Access to the water is a big bonus and fun to explore at low tide. We'll be back!

Sad to leave this beautiful spot
We will definitely return. We spent a week here and I would recommend a month. We spent most of the week right on the property enjoying the birds and red squirrels, the beautiful view, and the quiet. Our elder dog Cooper loved "chasing" the squirrels on the deck and the chipmunks in the yard. He sat on the deck for hours. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Loved the jigsaw puzzles, Steve responded quickly to all our texts , came out to visit a bit, and brought us two large bags of veggies. If you want to really get away from it all and get off the grid, this is the spot.

Wonderful Views & Quiet
If you want peace and quiet, this is the place. Steve, the home owner, couldn't be nicer and came to the house on our second day to help us out with a minor problem. Trade Winds, a supermarket in Blue Hill, is not far and has everything you would need. Lots of hiking options and the town of Blue Hill is picturesque. Don't miss picking up Tinder Heart bread, available in their "store" and at the Blue Hill Co-op. It's the best.

2 week getaway
From the moment the road ended and we saw the view we would be blessed with for the next 14 days, we were in love. The house was perfect, everything needed for an escape from everyday life. I enjoy cooking and the kitchen had everything needed to make great meals. The communication with the owners was ongoing, including a nice message telling us safe travels back home. We will definitely be back.

What an amazing place to start our honeymoon! From the welcome items and lovely note to the gorgeous views, this was a perfect place to stay to be away from everything! The owners clearly thought of everything a traveler would need. Hope to stay again in the future!! Thank you for making our honeymoon amazing!

Perfect Spot. Clean, Peaceful & Amazing Sunsets
We enjoyed staying at this property so much. It was very clean and comfortable. It was the perfect retreat to be our homebase while we explored the area. It's about a 45 minute drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Lots of thoughtful amenities around the house and property that made our stay so enjoyable. We particularly enjoyed watching the visitors to the bird feeders and chipmunks. The bird book helped us identify a few species we hadn't seen before. We took advantage of the deck area and grill too. The pictures dont do the view justice! And the real treat was the sunsets!!! We all took time to slow down and watch the sunset while we were there - a memory our family will cherish for a long time. We would highly recommend stopping for lunch or dinner at Badaduce Lunch for a Haddock Sandwhich or Lobster Roll! It's only 2 miles down the street and one of the best things we ate during our whole vacation! Our family would gladly stay here again and we should absolutely recommend it to our friends.

Peaceful and heavenly
Our family had a wonderful time here. It was so peaceful and quiet. The bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen had all that we needed, and the views ......wow. We didn't want to leave.
We really enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels fight over the seeds each morning. We definitely want to stay here again!
