We had an excellent time staying at this camp. John was such a helpful host!!! The location is great and they had boats that we could use frequently. The lake is beautiful. Cabin was clean and had a lot of helpful items. A great trip!!!

"Classic Maine Cottage" summarizes this property well. It is not modern, yet does have the basics of modern life, including internet. The upsides were the lake and lake views, kayaks, friendly neighbors, amazing fireworks over the water on the 4th... and the kindness and attentiveness of the property owner. The one big downside was the lack of AC. All in all, though, our family made some wonderful memories here.

We were up for a family reunion. This place was great our first time in Ellsworth. Place was great.

The location of this property was great. Ellsworth is a charming little community and proximity to Acadia was very convenient. John was a GREAT host and kept in excellent contact with us. We felt well cared for. The cabin is rustic and a wonderful old time Maine lake camp that made us grateful for his generosity in sharing this little family gem. The lake is beautiful but the lake floor off the cabin is muddy so don’t forget your water shoes! That being said we spent hours swimming and paddling all over the lake in the provided boats which were well kept and a total score. We really enjoyed our time there-an Idyllic Maine Camp. THANK YOU JOHN!!!

We enjoyed our time on Branch Lake. We spent lots of time enjoying the location/lake, fishing, and relaxing. The drive to the national park isn't too long for a partial/full day trip. The cabin/camp is very clean and had everything we needed.

We had a wonderful time with family and friends. The camp had everything we could possibly need plus more. We took a lot of pictures and have some wonderful memories. Thanks for everything!🙂🙂

Our family has spent several summer vacations in Maine the past few years, and the cottage on Branch Lake was our favorite destination. The house is well-loved, comfortable, immaculate and stocked with everything you ever could need. John and Kaye were fantastic. Since they were nearby, they made lots of helpful suggestions and made sure that our two boys had everything they could want for a week on the lake. We fished, used the kayaks, canoe and rowboat, had nighttime fires by the lake, and just generally reveled in being in such a gorgeous location. We very much hope to return.

The location of this cottage was very beautiful--right on Branch Lake and a very easy put in for kayaks. The cottage was clean ,well maintained, and rustic (but in a good way.) The owners were very friendly and helpful.We would recommend this property.
