Beautiful lakeside cabin
My significant other and I had a beautiful stay at this unique cozy cabin! This was our home base while in the area exploring Acadia and we loved starting our day with views of the lake and coming back to enjoy relaxing by the firepit. Everything was as described and it was nice having our own private bathroom a few steps from the main cabin along with access to a washer and dryer to keep our laundry fresh after a week of traveling and camping. Barbara was extremely helpful and communicated very well in planning for our arrival and answering questions we had during the stay.

Lovely stay!
We had a great time at Barbara’s waterfront cabin — perfect for a long weekend getaway. The cabin was clean and homey, and Barbara was very communicative! The access to the water and the kayaks provided made for a great time on the pond.

Charming vintage Maine Camp
Barbara and Tom are wonderful hosts with a beautiful vintage camp located right on the water. A true wildlife lovers oasis we saw beavers, otters, loons, osprey and many other birds. The fishing was a hit. Location was convenient to Acadia yet removed from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor making for the perfect retreat. We will definitely be coming back. David & Pattie

This place was beautiful. An amazing sunset over the lake greeted us as we arrived late Friday. My daughter, niece and nephew immediately went to the dock on the property and started fishing while I unpacked the car. There is a separate area for a campfire which we relaxed at to make s'mores. The next morning the kids fished and I kayaked before we left for Bar Harbor and Acadia. We made it back to the lake cabin to cook dinner, fish and kayak some more and relax. We had our own bathroom cabin steps from the main cabin with a toilet stall, shower stall and sink. It offered privacy and gave a country home feeling. We left the next morning and it was bittersweet. My gripe to myself was that our stay was too short. I absolutely want to come back to this same place, make more memories and stay longer next time. Very relaxing, homey, quiet and felt private while being surrounded by nature. Barbara thoughtfully left us a package of whoopie pies and really made this cabin feel comfortable for us. We all loved this experience, amenities and it was plenty of space for us. Thank you so much!
