The house and property was as described absolutely beautiful. The lake was gorgeous. We had a wonderful time staying here. We enjoyed being lakeside starting with a cup of coffee in the morning to kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming the rest of the day. The house was fully stocked with everything you needed from kitchen supplies to linens and games. My family would love to stay here again in the future.

We had a lovely time at the house. It was a great place for our family to relax lake side and recharge.

Our family of 5 stayed at Camp Lindsay for seven nights and had a relaxing, comfortable and amazing time. Water activities galore! We kayaked to a large rock that we could jump off, up a creek to a beaver dam, to blueberry island to pick fresh blueberries (which we put into our pancakes the next morning), among many other places. Our boys (5, 8, 10) practically lived on the floating island. I was able to get some solitude and kayak by myself around sunset and had a loon pop up next to me and sing while a bald eagle flew above and perched on a branch about 40 feet away.
Anytime we left the camp, mostly to explore beautiful Acadia national park, I regretted leaving the home.
The home is clearly loved by her owners. Many personal touches and a lot of personality. The home was also well stocked, which is always appreciated.
Angela was responsive and always kind.

We really enjoyed our stay at this camp. Just right-sized for family. The lake is exceptionally clean and welcoming all summer water activities: swimming, kayaking, paddle-boarding - we did that daily and never got bored. Acadia is just under an hour drive away. We'll definitely be back.

Our second summer at this place, and it didn’t disappoint. They made a few changes that makes this place even more attractive. We are hoping to be back!

The camp was amazing. It was extremely clean, spacious, lake front and had lots of extras like swimming dock, canoe, kayaks & paddle boards. The kitchen had everything we needed for when we choose to cook there.. and it was was within a 30 minute drive to most attractions we went to. We loved it!

Couldn’t have been happier with the location and host. Beautiful very private lake property with everything needed for a wonderful relaxing vacation. We sat by the campfire almost every night and made S’mores, listened to the loons and elk calling out in the evenings, and took the boat out exploring and fishing. The host was responsive and genuinely cared about our experience. The next trip to Maine will definitely be here!

Our first time renting this home and have no regrets. The house is beautiful and very well stocked. We made lobster rolls that were served in the cute lobster plates. We kayaked and canoed and ended the day by the fire pit. We are looking forward to coming back next year!

We rented this home for our first destination family get together with my now grown up kids and their boyfriends. It was simply lovely. The location could not be more perfect. You are literally right next to the lake. The owner is wonderful to work with. All of the positive reviews speak for how perfect this destination in Maine is.

The water is so clear! We brought goggles for the kids and they enjoyed swimming around and looking at everything around them. We used the kayaks, canoe, and paddleboards daily.

Fantastic Long Weekend
It was so nice to be able to get away to Camp Lindsay again to close out the summer. There was still plenty of warm weather for enjoying the water and the camp is as amazing as the last trip. Thanks so much to Angela and Michael for another amazing stay.

Great week on the lake
We had an amazing week at Angela's place in Ellsworth, ME. This house had everything we needed. We were very impressed with their attention to detail. It was more than enough space for our family of 5 and Golden Retriever. The beds are comfortable and so is the giant sectional upstairs! The lake was warm and clean. Our kids loved jumping off the swim platform and we loved taking the kayaks all around the islands. There is so much space at the waterfront. It was easy to read a book in the chaise lounge and watch the kids while they swam. Good fishing for bass/sunfish. The firepit was a family favorite as well. About a 20 min ride into town if you need groceries or take out. Many fantastic options for take out and outdoor dining. Thank you for sharing your home.

Outstanding Lakefront Experience
When I think of a cabin on a Maine lake, this is exactly what comes to mind. Easily accessible from either Rte 1 in Bucksport or Rte 1A in Ellsworth. A beautiful home on a tranquil lake with plenty of privacy, Camp Lindsay provided everything my family could have wanted in a Maine vacation getaway.
Our two boys loved playing on the beach, floating around in the water and swimming to the raft. Our two dogs enjoyed lounging on the docks and watching the occasional boat go by. The waterfront is the perfect combination of sun and shade so that we could enjoy the hot days in the water without feeling like we were roasting. All the bases are covered for fun in the water including kayaks, SUPs, canoe and floats. So much fun.
The house had everything we needed in terms of amenities and so much luxurious space. If you like to cook while on vacation, this is your kitchen, not to mention grilling outside. Angela and Michael were incredibly attentive to our needs and provided timely responses to what must have seemed like a million questions. We can vouch for the fact that the cellular signal is incredibly strong and that the hotspot we brought with us was enough to handle the one online meeting that couldn't be avoided.
We look forward to returning and highly recommend Camp Lindsay to anyone looking for a beautiful, peaceful getaway. Thank you!

Beautiful Maine lake house
This was one of our favorite rental houses we've visited. The lake the house was on is so beautiful, and the hosts had fishing poles, kayaks, paddle boards and a canoe available for us to use. All of the welcoming touches were so appreciated, including wood and kindling in the fire pit set up perfectly for our first bonfire.

Great place for an escape!
My husband, two furry, four-legged kids and I really enjoyed our stay. It's nestled in on a great spot on the lake and has everything you would need for an escape from the real world! It's about an hour-ish drive to Acadia which was nice! Highly recommend and hope we can make it back sometime in the future!

Amazing Stay!
The property and house are perfect! Spotless, comfortable, quiet, cabin-like but with every modern convenience. This rental has everything needed for a relaxing vacation and for recreation on the lake. The lake is clean and beautiful. The stars at night are amazing to behold. We spent many hours canoeing, sitting by the fire pit, throwing a stick into the lake for the dog and sleeping soundly. We also spent time at Acadia but were soooo happy to return to the lake house. If you rent it, you will want to buy it to have it for your own! Many thanks to the owners for this fabulous experience and vacation!

The only way to improve our stay would be to make it longer!
On a breathtaking site, beautifully designed and furnished, this magical location provides endless opportunities for fun and repose -- indoors, outdoors, and on the water. It's ideal for extended families, with a house that can contain everything from raucous board games to solving puzzles to TV viewing to quiet reading to children napping all at the same time. And you will find it stocked with everything you need for a pleasant and comfortable stay.

Branch Lake vacation!
This house was the perfect spot for a vacation in Maine. The lake and house are beautiful. We have stayed on Branch Lake in the past and this house is on the top of the list for places to stay. The house accommodated 6 adults well. Hope to come back again one day!

Serenity in the Maine Woods
This luxurious camp located on the northern shore of Branch Lake offers you the quintessential summer experience in Downeast Maine. The camp provides a secluded and serene location with great places to paddle and fish. The town of Ellsworth is a short drive away, where you can dine out and enjoy a day of shopping. Acadia National Park makes a great day trip while staying at this camp.

Beautiful Lake Cabin on Branch Lake. Don’t look further. Rent this cabin.
First I would not hesitate to rent again. I could not have been happier with this property. The owner Angela was easy to work with, honest and promptly replied to all my questions. I never had to wait. Fantastic.
My entire family wishes we could have stayed a few addional days. The house recently went through a remodel. It is in great shape, and very comfortable. The kitchen is well supplied and the appliances are new. I’m leaving the beat for last. The house is sits on a small hill overlooking the gorgeous Branch Lake. The water was very warm and super clean. My boys and I swam from the doc to the swimming dock everyday we were there. The canue and motor fishing boat are both brand new. We ended up canueing everyday around two small islands close to the house. The fire pit is close to the house so it’s easy to refill your adult beverage the fire hypnotizes you.

Beautiful lakeside retreat!
We had 5 adults and a 14 month old child with MORE than enough space. There are plenty of spots to relax, play, eat, and sleep. We had a lot of fun in the paddle boat on the lake and using the porch off of the living room for meals. Angela was very quick to respond to our emails but we had no significant issues (just general questions.) We would recommend that you stop at the grocery store before you arrive, because it’s about a 25 minute drive away. Amazing spot to unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet of Maine!

Best vacation for our books
We enjoyed our stay without question. Angela helped with everything we needed. Kitchen had everything to help for making a meal and more. I’m a single mom and took my 3 teens on one last vacation for the 4 of us before my oldest graduates school next year. I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Only negative is it’s a long drive to a store, so make sure you don’t forget anything. We would definitely go back. Also, check out Activity shop for any needs, they were on top of it with delivering our kayaks with free delivery to the house. Great customer service
