Amazing time! The property was exactly what we were looking for - a quiet lake house with plenty of nature to enjoy. We took the boat and kayak out every day and sat by the fire pit every night. We even made a few meals over it! The house is clean and offers plenty of amenities - the view from the master is great! We saw eagles, lots of fish, ducks, a heron, turtles and, of course, the loons! We even got to see one catch a fish! Will definitely return.

Everything about this vacation was full of ease and comfort. The location was even more beautiful than i could have imagined. The kitchen was well equipped and a Hanaford grocery store was close by making meal preparation easy. The cottage was comfortable and cozy -and at night the loons sang lullabies. We felt isolated and “hidden away” while knowing that town conveniences were not far away.

Perfect, peaceful location. The haunting song of the loons morning, noon and night was so soothing. Lots of fish to catch right off the dock. Close enough to town to make grocery shopping a breeze, but feels so far away. Very quiet. Bed was very comfortable. We ate lobster every single day but one - my personal mission! Rt. 7 BBQ is excellent, try the burnt ends and brisket. Delicious! Visited Acadia National Park, and Stephen King's former home in Bangor. Our dog Willow loved splashing in the lake and she was tuckered out every night. Cozy and comfortable

Loons, Bass and Eagles oh my!!!

Amazing family get away! Such a wonderful family lake house! My 4 teenagers spent all day fishing kayaking swimming and boating on the lake. Caught so many bass! We LOVED the loons and the Eagles circling our boats… can’t make it up … perfect get away for our family. The cabin was perfect and cozy for our family of 6. Kitchen supplies and grill were perfect for cooking all of our meals. Awesome fire pit for sitting, marshmallowing, playing the guitar and just chilling at night. Gorgeous sunsets and sky at night. We hope to go back again next summer.

Great getaway at the HIDEAWAY

My family had a great time! Beautiful location very relaxing, plenty of things to do even on our day of rain! The host was great, on morning one the coffee maker was not working so i had sent a messege letting the host know just so she knew and let her know it was not a big deal, but to my surprise she had jer husband out there within an hour with a new coffee pot and a new keurig! Now thats what i call an A host. The little electeic motorboat, and kayaks were a major plus and the fishing was great! Within the week my family had landed over 40 fish. Highly highly recommend and would 100% return.

The perfect getaway

This property is charming, quiet and peaceful… I stayed with my beloved pet who swam every day. We enjoyed a kayak ride and beautiful stars at night on the dock. It is so serene just what your soul needs. This house was impeccable, clean and tidy. The kitchen has everything you need in the grill is great I will definitely be coming back.

Hideaway Cottage

This was an awesome cottage on a peaceful, quiet lake. The cottage is equipped with everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed our time there, went by way too quickly. The loons are so fun to watch and listen to. We did a lot of kayaking, boating and fishing. We will definitely be back again. The hosts are wonderful!

Lakeside cottage

We enjoyed our stay at this cute lakeside cottage. Located in a rural town we spent much of our time on the water or relaxing dockside. Some nearby towns with things to explore but more of a laid back location. Suggest bringing food and cooking yourself. PL market is a local market if you need any supplies. Spencers is good for breakfast and about a 20 min drive. Anglers was a good option for seafood about 25 min drive. Liz was nice to work with and helpful during booking. We enjoyed the loons, eagle, fishing, and beautiful sunsets.

Charming private cabin by the lake, great fishing

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Its set back from the street down a dirt road that can be easily missed.The cabin and back yard is level and set low without a steep angle to the waters edge. One of the best properties on the lake in that regard. The cabin itself is older and rustic in nature but no complaints about its comfort. Has both heat and AC for year round comfort. It was 96 degrees on the day we checked and the cabin was thoughtfully cooled before our arrival. The cabin had everything we needed for our stay. We brought some things from home the cabin already had, like bug spray, life jackets, some cooking utensils, and seasonings that were already provided at the cabin. There were some spider webs and dust in nooks and crannies but nothing too bad.Great outdoor space. Good sized deck with big propane grill. Big back yard had a fire pit and hammock near the waters edge. Theres a small dock and a small beach like area where my kids played in the water. We didnt use the canoe but we did use the available aluminum boat quite a bit. A electric motor is provided but we brought our own motor and battery. The boat does have a few leaky rivets up front but nothing dangerous.Westward facing yard provided gorgeous views of the sunset. There were daily sightings of a bald eagle, and loons with their chick. We even saw an otter on our last morning on the water. The bass fishing was excellent from the boat and dock. Would love to come back

Fabulous little cabin on the lake

This little cabin was perfect! We had such a relaxing & wonderful time. Quiet and private on a great lake. The boat with the trolling motor was perfect to cruise around the beautiful lake. We caught multiple nice bass and perch. We had rain everyday we were there and it was so enjoyable listening to the rain hit the roof. We were lucky enough to see all the beautiful iris bloom by the front door. Cabin had everything we needed for our get away.

Peaceful Waterfront Cabin With Loons

This was a return visit for us! We love this location and the availability of kayaks, canoe and row boats for the kids to explore the lake! Full kitchen has absolutely everything you could want, even a dual coffee maker! Hosts are wonderful and have made beautiful upgrades, giving the cabin a lighter look! We hope to return for another visit soon!!!
