Cool spot on the water, the house was spacious and the second floor primary bedroom was comfortable and clean. The dock seemed well maintained along with the fire pit. Wood was provided, stacked near the fire pit. Internet worked great. This property is near some active ATV trails, and we had some unwelcome visitors our last night with 3 loud ATVs out on the dirt road in front of the cabin and trails until nearly midnight. If you love four wheelers - great! If not, then this location may not be for you.

Rustic cabin with most required amenities, comfy bed, spacious for 2-4 people. The dock on the pond is superb. Such a gorgeous spot for coffee, reading or snoozing. Very nice to have kayak etc and paddle around the pond which is super quiet. We rode bikes on the nearby mixed use path which was fun. Easy access to Ellsworth and Acadia. Recommend!

We loved the cozy cabin! We went in August and it was great. The pond next to the cabin is stocked with bass. We caught and released so many! Highly recommended for anyone that wants to fish.

Very charming rustic log cabin. All the amenities and then some. Spent lots of time on the dock soaking in the beauty of the lake. Wished we could have stayed longer.

The property is beautiful and relaxing. The cabin is very rustic but comfortable. Unfortunately, the temperature was unseasonably warm for the area when we visited. There are multiple fans but they are small. A few larger fans (for these unusual times) would have been nice. Overall, a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Kind of wild how quiet it was all the time. Awesome using the boats on the property and cooking in the kitchen was great. Comfortable bed/couch. Only thing was that we experienced some lights up at our windows/skylights that made no sense at all and moved erratically. Freaked us out. No noise and then they disappeared. Crazy! But still a great place!
