I am a family and pet friendly retreat. With water views throughout the home. There's a beautiful small beach with walk into the water that if perfect for small children. There is also a 60 foot dock with deep water access for the older children and adults alike. Enjoy swimming from rock to rock or hang out and fish from the dock. The yard and or deck has Sun most of the day. You can Kayak out to see the sunset, or rent a pontoon boat from me, by the day for or by the week. we have two available. Were eight miles from Ellsworth 20 miles from Bangor, were you will find all the shopping and Casino. And Acadia national park is only 35 miles away perfect for day trips , back at night to enjoy the lake.
The yard is beautifully landscaped, a large yard for hanging out barbecuing and playing games.

We spent a relaxing, fun-filled week in this spacious house that offered so much to do! We loved the pedal boat, canoe and kayak. Saw fireworks from the dock, swam, fished and enjoyed listening to the loons by the campfire. A good time was had by all 3 generations. Michael is an accomodating and responsive host.

10 people, ranging 9-months to 70-years old stayed here on our annual family retreat, and with a few exceptions, all had an amazing time! The lake is absolutely gorgeous. Crystal clear water and tons of boulders just under the surface that both kids and adults enjoyed. The back yard was plenty spacious for activities and relaxing, and the sandy beach was perfect for kids. Driveway comfortably fit 3-4 cars, and the view from the deck was perfect. Acadia & Bar Harbor are an easy drive for day trips! However - We arrived to find wet laundry in the washer. The loft beds were unmade and missing pillows. The sliding doors and screens to the deck were extremely difficult to open/close - even for adults. The propane tank ran out 2-minutes after lighting the grill the first time, and the backup tank had a significant leak from the relief valve. The freezer door ice dispenser was missing, preventing top shelf items from freezing well (keep your ice cream down low). The basement bunk room flooded - two separate nights, soaking kids bags left on the floor and ruining some items. The kids woke with sore throats, and after the second flooding we didn't feel comfortable sleeping down there due to the air quality. Michael, the owner, was very responsive, and accommodating when able. Overall our trip was very nice - mostly due to the water frontage and remote location. I would recommend this property to anyone who prioritizes those features over the minor issues noted above.

Stayed here for a week with two families ( 4 parents and 7 teenagers). Host was accommodating and helpful. Property had plenty for the kids to do and was close enough to drive into Acadia and Bar Harbor. Lots of space for the families to spread out to relax, play games, or swim. Water was crystal clear and out teens loved jumping off the rocks. Would be great for younger kids as well!

This is a wonderful property. The host was greatly attentive and friendly. The house is very convenient and a wonderful lakeside home, with many amenities. The fire pit was a great addition that my entire family enjoyed. Same with the fully appointed kitchen complete with lobster pots, flat propane grill for steaming (outside), butter dishes, shell crackers, etc.. Highly recommend getting fresh seafood from Dorrs lobster pound and preparing it on premises. Thanks again!
