NO HEAT

This would probably be fine in the summer, but should not be rented off season. Original listing had no menu of it being just a summer house/not having heat. Also did not realize it's being listed through a management company. Introductory email specifically said there was a wood stove and wood provided. No wood was there. I went to use the stove and it had a gas insert that i could not get working. I called the help number and the people in Oregon (yes, Oregon!) told me a series of lies and tried gaslighting me saying they told me stove didn't work. The ad on vrbo was magically rewritten less than 24 hours after my first complaint. It was down to 47 the next morning. I slept in my truck 2 nights due to the cold. It was never comfortable in there. Vacasa has totally ignored me. Vrbo has also not been much help. Complaints are being filed with BBB and my credit card. In addition, WI-FI is pretty much non existent, bring your own paper products--including TP, and there's barely enough hot water for one shower.

Don't ever stay with Vacasa

Managed by Vacasa, horrible customer service - they aren't located in the same country and they told me "someone will be out shortly to serve you" (obviously no one came). Outdated and changed ads for the cabin. The cabin ad stated clearly that there was a *WOOD STOVE* in the "winter months". I booked the cabin because of this feature. I received THREE acknowledgment and preparation emails from Vacasa stating that the wood stove would be available and that WOOD WOULD BE PROVIDED IN THE FOYER. I show up and there is no wood stove, there is a gas stove - and it's turned off for the season. They have since changed their ad but it still says "wood stove"... it's a gas stove with fake wood... come on people... 52 degrees in the Cabin when I arrived during daylight hours. Blatant laziness that the stove wasn't turned on for that low of temps. Does there have to be a risk of freezing to death before the heat is turned on? Oh and the "dock" was totally destroyed. Smoke Detectors kept beeping due to low battery. Wifi wasn't fast enough for the TV to simply load a single app. The mattress is spring and probably 50 years old. You're better off sleeping in a tent.

A peaceful getaway in the woods.

I loved how quiet and isolated this property was! You could hear a pin drop when standing outside. There weren't even any birds to wake you in the morning. The wife and I stayed there for our anniversary week and enjoyed every minute of it. Week cooked in the nice little kitchen and grilled outside once. On the one day it rained, we stayed in all day and streamed movies or watched ones from their small DVD collection. The furniture was very comfortable. Even I at 6'4" slept fine in the smaller full size bed. Would definitely stay again!

Quiet Rustic Getaway

Beautiful property right on the lake. Firewood provided with the rental was a nice extra. Location is perfect for those who want to avoid crowds. Took about 45 minutes to get to Acadia NP and an hour to Bangor airport. Cabin has no AC which was not a problem with the cooler temperatures.
