Perfect cabin

A perfect cabin on George’s Pond was just the getaway we needed. Very clean and had everything we needed. Close enough to Acadia where we spent many of our days. Communication with the owners was clear, fast, and friendly. Would love to stay here again.

Great getaway!

Property was as advertised. Stay was pleasant, hosts were great - close by in case of issues - but none to speak of. Cabin getaway was exactly what we needed and the property was beautiful and serene. Cabin was clean and tidy which is a huge deal for my clean freak (in a good way) partner! This place is on our list if we return to Maine!

The pictures do not do this place justice. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful view of Georges Pond and not a bad drive to Acadia and shopping in Ellsworth. We will definitely be returning.

Perfect lakefront getaway!

This cabin had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. Nearby Ellsworth has stores for necessities and a variety of great restaurants. We drove to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and other points just south via an easy drive. Comfortable furnishings, well appointed kitchen, and kayaks, along with our own fishing dock. This place was better than any resort! Highly recommend!! y greatantique shopsa

Very relaxing camp

We enjoyed our stay at the camp. It was nice going down on the dock evenings relaxing and doing some fishing off the dock. We recommend any couple that would like a nice place to just kick back and relax to visit this camp. The only small complaint i have in early morning next door there was a yapping dog for about two or three hours every morning

Amazing stay!!

The camp was clean, cozy and comfortable. It had all the amenities you would need. A great view of the water and located near many outdoor activities. My daughter loved fishing off the dock and going kayaking. The water was crystal clear for swimming as well. Overall an extremely relaxing stay! The owners were very good at communication and even got us in early the day of check in. A+ experience!!

Wonderful cabin on quiet lake

Loved our time at the cabin. Georges Pond is a very clear lake. The neighborhood is quite and we really enjoyed the peacefulness. Bar Haror and Acadia National Park are about 30 minutes away. We also visited Lubec (eastern most US town) and rented ATVs for a day in the Sunshine Trail. Highly recommend!

Maine Vacation

I stayed at this cabin with my girlfriend. The property was as represented on Vrbo. It was clean and peaceful, and the location was perfect for our day trips to Acadia and up and down the coast from there. The canoe and kayaks were fantastic to enjoy time on the lake in our evenings and mornings. The outside porch was great for lounging, the BBQ allowed a nice change for dinner, and the sunroom was perfect for relaxing. Don and Regina were very responsive when we had questions and made sure our stay was comfortable and everything was as advertised. I can't speak to how it would be for a family, but if you are a couple looking for a great base of operations or just a relaxing place to stay you will not be sorry with this selection.

Our getaway

This cabin, was truly a piece of heaven. If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay, this is it! We enjoyed sitting on the deck, paddling around Murch Island. We were fortunate enough to see 2 eagles and a family of Loons, that we could hear even throughout the night. This was a very enjoyable and comfortable place to enjoy our week! Thank you, for everything ❤️
