About this house rental

We now have a FUJITSU heat pump and A/C!

Our place is close to Bar Harbor (45 minutes) and Bangor. (20 minutes)

There are amazing technical mountain trails outside the back door.

We are on Brewer Lake with amazing sunsets! (outside the front door and just a short walk) Great fishing, swimming and kayaking!

Also, you can take advantage of the summer concert series in the evenings and American Folk Festival in August. Great for couples, group adventurers, and families.

Our cell #’s are Di, 207-992-6657 and Joe, 207-992-6659.

Welcome to our home, we hope you enjoy your stay!

Here are some useful tidbits:

The wifi password is cooperryder.

All of the televisions are Smart TV 's.


There is dish soap and detergent under the sink.

The key is in the golf cart and the kayaks are already at the dock.

There are life jackets on the stone patio under the screened in porch.

Firewood for the firepit is on the outside of the woodshed on the left. There is a sign.

Closest grocery stores:
Walmart or Hannaford, both in Brewer, about a 15 minute drive.

This time of the year it is much easier to access both by turning left on Wiswell instead of going to the end of Copeland Hill and trying to turn left onto 1A. I have included a map.

There is also Tiller and Rye in Brewer if you are looking for organic produce, grass fed and free range meat, or gluten free options. They have a “cafe” on site that has great items to go. They also have lots of local beers, wines and coffee.

All doors lock, but can open from the inside. Pull the handle up and turn the lock to the left.



Dinner Recommendations:

Bangor is about 20-25 minutes away. Brewer is about 10-15 minutes away.

McLaughlins (Bangor), The Eagle’s Nest (Brewer), or Jone’s Lobster Co. (Holden) are the best places to get a lobster roll. None are fancy. McLaughlins only has outdoor picnic table seating. Jone’s has some indoor and outdoor seating and also has many other delicious options on their menu...and they are the closest!

For a pricey, but excellent dinner, try Evenroods. Timber Kitchen and Bar is also a good choice with a throwback to Maine’s lumbering industry in their design.

The Tarrantine is also a unique dinner experience. The Tarratine Building is a historic structure in Bangor’s Great Fire District. The exclusive Tarratine Club was organized in the year 1884 by 31 Bangor citizens. Among that group of 31 was former U.S. vice president and first Tarratine Club President, Hannibal Hamlin. You are welcome to explore the building while you're there or have drinks on the rooftop bar.

For great food via a brewery, try Mason’s Brewing Company in Brewer or the Sea Dog in Bangor, both have waterfront seating, which is perfect if there’s a concert in town.

A relatively new restaurant/bar is Kanu in Old Town. Their rooftop bar is also pretty amazing.

For a yummy sandwich, try the Harvest Moon Deli in Brewer. Locally owned with a creative menu.

If you love ice cream, Giffords or Fielder's Choice are both excellent!

If you are heading to Bar Harbor, Camden or Belfast for a day trip, you can’t go wrong!

Fantastic house close to town. Well stocked and clean. Loved sleeping with the windows open, listening to the loons.

This was an ideal choice for our family vacation! We had 6 adults and 2 children. We had planned to have 2 more adults and 3 more children under the age of 13 but unfortunately, airline issues prevented them from coming. Had they come, there would have been plenty of sleeping space for all of us. There were only 2 bathrooms but we worked it out for use of the showers. The house is so open, roomy and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with a large bar counter top. It was nice having the AC during the warmer parts of the day. We spent a lot of time lounging on the screened in porch and enjoying the swing. There was a fire pit for making s’mores and the home owners graciously provided the supplies! We opted to use the great fire table on the side of the house instead which worked great! Having the golf cart at our disposal was a nice feature which the grands loved riding to the nice beach area! The house was a short path’s walk to the dock where we daily saw loons and beautiful sunsets! The kayaks were fun for our son, his wife and our 2 grandchildren to go out on the water. Behind the house were amazing bike trails that the home owner built. Some of us enjoyed walking on them. The homeowners were very accommodating and did all they could to answer all our questions, wanting us to have a great time. The house was perfect, clean and it was nice having a laundry room too. We definitely made great memories this trip and highly recommend this property! We hope to come back!

The listing was misleading. There are 0 bedrooms on the main floor. There is one bedroom in the loft, but it’s not private(Listing says it’s private). It has glass doors that open up to the loft, which contains 3 beds. We had to put towels over the glass for privacy. The other two private bedrooms are in the basement. The bathrooms were dirty and both showers had mold and mildew in them, and smelled terrible. The lowest level bedroom was moldy and musty and the AC didn’t remove the humidity. Using the AC made the smell worse. One of our guests couldn’t stay down there because the mold and mildew smell was too overwhelming. Based on the listing description, we thought it could comfortably accommodate two families, but it did not with the odd bedroom configurations.

The house was well equipped for all our needs. Two families split the house - 9 total. Kids upstairs area is amazing! Adults were jealous. Great fire pit area and dock area. Would definitely visit again!

We loved our time at this clean, well-appointed lake house. Swimming off the dock was the highlight but everything in the house was great as well. We’ll definitely hope to be back next time the group gets together.
