About this property

'Wickyup' - Log Cabin onTunk Lake in DownEast Maine

Wickyup Camp is located on one of the most beautiful and private lakes in all New England and is available to couples and families who not only want a quiet and relaxing vacation but also one full of activities and adventure. If you have a rainy day, no problem! Wickyup has a large game room with ping-pong, air hockey, foosball and TV with an extensive dvd collection of movies . Five miles long, Tunk Lake has only 12 cabins on the southern 2/3 of the lake. Wickyup is perfect for your family vacation!

Local Shopping & Medical Facilities: Ellsworth is about 30 minutes from the Wickyup. It includes 2 grocery store chains (Hanaford & Shaws), WalMart, Fast Food (McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Friendly's, Taco Bell, etc), Home Depot, Lowes, Hospital, Walk-in Medical Clinic, movie theater, and much more.

Location: Tunk Lake: There is swimming, hiking, Mt. climbing, boating, fishing on Tunk Lake, and since the lake has so few cabins, boat traffic is very light. No Jet Skis are allowed (by law).

Bar Harbor is a beautiful old New England town and a must-see. ACADIA NATIONAL PARK is the northeast’s only National Park. Don't miss Schoodic Point which is part of Acadia National Park and is just up the coast in the Winter Harbor area.

Restaurants: There are many restaurants between Tunk Lake and Ellsworth, in the Winter Harbor area, and in Bar Harbor. There is something for everyone from all the major fast food chains (in Ellsworth) to very fine dining.

Golf: There are several golf courses in the area anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour away. Winter Harbor's golf course has views to the ocean from every hole!

Tunk Lake Sept 2023

What a great place! Clean, well stocked and everything we expected. Had a great time boating on the lake, and even weathered Hurricane Lee. Loved all the history that was shared, and all the amazing quotes throughout the camp.

Great location.

Tunk Lake is an amazing place. My wife spent summers on the lake as a kid but we haven’t been back in 15 years. Wickyup II was a great location for our large family group to stay and reconnect with the lake and surrounding area. If we ever make it back out to Tunk we will certainly seek out Eleanor’s place to set up camp.

Too buggy to have any fun :(

The house was beautiful, spacious and provided lots of indoor entertainment. But, my main reason for picking this home that was not too far from Acadia and was located on a beautiful lake. The pictures depict so much fun at the lake. We were not able to go outdoors let alone down to the lake because we were immediately SWARMED by deer flies once we set foot outside! It was like something out of a bad movie. I realize this is nature and the owner cannot control the bugs, however they should really say "traveller beware, deer fly INFESTATION!" I have never left a vacation spot early. We left early becasue we could not enjoy the outdoors and that goes double for our dogs (thank you for welcoming them but they couldn't swim either!). It was such a disappointment, an expensive disappointment. Again, the home is beautiful. I hope the bugs all die before anyone else vacations there!!

Yearly tradition

We began by coming to this oasis every other year, but it has now become the one vacation my family counts on every summer. It has it all- peace and quiet (no internet, phone service), beautiful lake living, coastal views and hikes nearby, Bar Harbor 1 hour away, and memories to last a lifetime.

Amazing 2nd Year

This is one of the best properties we have rented in Maine. Quiet, secluded, yet close enough to everything you need. There may be a 3 rd trip for us. We enjoy it that much.

About the host

Hosted by Eleanor Byrd

Why they chose this property

Wickyup II is named after our grandparent's original lodge (built-in 1927-28) which burned to the ground in 1984. Waiting 23 years to be able to rebuild, Wickyup II was built in 2007on property, which has been in the family since 1936. It has special meaning to us as we remember all the wonderful times we had as children and can now pass those experiences on to our children and grandchildren.

What makes this property unique

The charm of this beautiful log cabin coupled with forest wilderness makes this location exceptionally heartwarming. The peace and quiet is amazing; unless of course there are parties and children laughing and playing! Listening to the 'quiet' is an experience few of us are familiar with. The crisp clear sounds of wildlife free of any human racket is priceless. The cry of the loon is heard often adding to the feeling of tranquility.The night sky, free of incident lighting is a blanket of stars. Hours spent on the dock at night identifying constellations can not only be a learning experience but also quite romantic! The covered porch has two adjustable hammock chairs with foot slings perfect for reading, napping and just plain swinging. The VERY large open deck looks out on the lake and over the lawn area complete with hammock. For more, see amenities.
