My family of about 12 had a wonderful stay at the Ducktrap Lodge. The great room was a hit, with a pool table, game tables, bar, and large couches. The outdoor patio and grill were also favorites. The large kitchen was well equipped, and the very large dining table fit everyone for family meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and allowed everyone some privacy. The location was also great, with short drives to Camden, Rockland, Rockport, and Belfast. We drove to Acadia one day, and it took about 1 hr and 40 minutes. We had a great time at the lobster fest in Rockport. There's also a very nice pebble beach just down the road from the house, would definitely recommend checking it out.

We had a wonderful time. The house was just the right size for our 10-person group consisting of 8 adults and 2 children. The common areas had plenty of amenities (pool table, shuffle board, games. We loved having 2 dishwashers in the kitchen since we fully used the kitchen and grilling facilities for many meals. The location was central to many great Maine areas such as Camden, Belfast, and Acadia National Park. There is even a beach in walking distance and local turkeys and a woodchuck. The Cellardoor Winery is spectacular. We had one issue with the thermostat in one bedroom, which Alexandra fixed immediately after we texted. Great place. Great time.

The Ducktrap Retreat is lovely and was a great gathering spot for our family. The lodge is every bit as spacious and comfortable as the photos suggest. We particularly appreciated the large, well-equipped kitchen, the outdoor lobster cooking area, the large grill, the expansive dining room table, the ice makers, and the excellent outdoor seating. On our first night, we discovered the Keurig coffee maker was not working. Fortunately, there was a drip coffee maker available, and the host provided a new Keurig the following morning. The overall four-star rating is due to A/C issues we had during our entire 5-night stay. The main living areas of the retreat and about half of the bedrooms were very comfortable. The remaining bedrooms had temps running in the low 80s and simply would not cool down. We also discovered a leak in one of the bathroom ceilings, apparently related to the A/C issue. The host took several measures to resolve the problem. Unfortunately, even after the HVAC maintenance crew spent some time working on the system, we didn't see any noticeable improvement. We did appreciate the responsiveness of the host. Hopefully the issue is fully resolved by now!

This is an unusual property -maybe it was built for homeowners to use. It worked for our family and had amenities I had specified. The kitchen and lobby are are fairly updated, the rooms-not as much. The Wifi was very iffy and the bedroom televisions, although offering many stations, had two remotes, but no instructions. The view is very pretty.

Property had ample room inside and outside areas to explore. Close proximity to fantastic restaurants and shopping.

The house design is incredibly thoughtful on many levels. Public spaces are huge and varied, allowing guests to spread out and do whatever they feel like in the moment: play pool in the rec room; find a quiet reading spot on the marvelous deck; or take a work call in the study. Five bedrooms have comfortable KING beds (yay) but a double queen and a twin room provide flexibility. The kitchen is a marvel and very well equipped, and the outdoor kitchen is just made for fun. Our chef guests were in heaven. Among the many amenities are a wide variety of quality games and 2 ice machines which you don't realize how much you love until you use them. The pool is perfect in every way. Finally, location. All of us spent every night on that lovely porch, looking at the water view and enjoying the feeling of getting away from it all, but in fact, groceries and coffee shops are minutes away, as is Lincolnville Beach, the lovely town of Camden, and many other places to visit if you can tear yourself away. Highly recommend.

Great Lodge - everything was well done and user friendly. The description of the lodge on line could have been better, but the host was most accessible and answered all our questions. Great experience for our family Thanksgiving.

Impressive large lodge with several private bedrooms, each with private bath. Quiet residential community with beautiful heated salt water pool. Owner and local property manager were responsive to a couple of issues that arose during our week at the lodge. Close to Camden and other attractive coastal communities.
