Beautiful Lake Front

We had a wonderful stay. The place was right on the lake and having kayaks available was perfect for us. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are about an hour away. The place was very peaceful and had everythibg we needed. We would definitely go back. The owner is great too!

A wonderful lakefront property

Pros: - location on the lake front. Very peaceful location with lots of stuff to do in and around the lake. - very spotty internet and phone signal. Forces one to disconnect well from the outside/work. - House is well stocked with cooking, dining, and cleaning supplies. - Owner Paul lives next door and available for any needed help. - easy location to access Acadia and other bar harbor areas within an hour still away from the summer tourist crowd. - House also comes with canoes, kayaks, diving dock, and supplies for lake front fire in the late evenings. Few notes: - House is a bit older than the pictures depict - Furnitures are way old. TV in the house is from 80s. - House has lots of ants and small pests. If anyone is allergic (my kid was) to ants, need to pay attention. - Also had a nightly visit from a mouse. Not happy with that. I don't think anything can be done about it as the unit above or below are either under construction or need to be cleaned up. - As much I liked the fact that there was a disconnect due to lack of internet, it would have been nice to have the option. I felt that these are sort of manageable (by us) but avoidable (by the owner) nuisances. The location and lake makes up for it to some extent. We enjoyed our stay except the nightly visit from the mouse and ants.

Pretty decent except...

House was nice and clean. Paul greeted us with a smile and very accommodating. Washer and dryer were a welcomed site for my family's long trip. The lake, fire pit with wood provided and kayaks were great memory makers. But, huge scary spiders were all along the house and on the lake raft. There was little to no phone or wifi signal. The air conditioning had little circulation for the farther rooms. Last issue was the television which was a flash from the nineties. No HDMI adapter and cable from ancient times still echoing through a time travel cable company. Family enjoyed our time and overall it was still better than a random hotel. Paul was incredibly polite. Just a few suggestions to improve for his next guests.

Thanks for your revue David and for the suggestions as this place was my uncle's who was in a nursing home and I've been taken care of it for him. In time all these things will be repaired. It already has a new TV with Fire stick . As far as nature goes on a dock or a raft in the water it's pretty hard to control a spider. But really thanks for the negative response as to where your family was lighting off Chinese lanterns which im pretty sure are illegal and can cause fires In a beautiful environment. I hope you have a great year David!

The Maine experience

We loved living like the locals for a week. This apartment is lake front and has everything you need. Our view every morning for coffee time was gorgeous. Grill and picnic table right on the deck. We learned to ride the kayaks and swam off the swimming platform. The apartment is located between Bangor and Bar Harbor , which worked perfect for us. We were 30 min from Bar Harbor!! Will be staying here again

Location is great-right on the lake. House was nice with a large kitchen. Bedrooms were clean and comfortable. Paul (the owner) was kind and courteous. We were able to rent a boat for the week right down the road! Overall the family and I had a great time!

Green Lake is really quiet

Although dated, this was a spacious rental with Great Lake access - the kayaks and canoes were fun. There is basically no Wifi so just be prepared for that - I realize that it’s part of the charm but these days everyone needs to be able To connect if necessary. My husband did have to drive to town to take care of one work thing. Paul, the host was responsive to any questions or concerns that we had. He welcomed us to the unit with a great bag of starter supplies.

The spotty WIFI has been fixed since our last rental season. I have a more central location for the WIFI. Yes the furniture and some things are dated in the Apartment but in my defense I am taking care of a place that is owned by my uncle and was in a nursing home at the time of these wonderful people who rented. In time I am working to improve this place to make it more inviting for people to return to a clean and safe place. Thank you for your input on helping to make Violette's Beach a better place. I will continue to improve. Sincerely Paul Violette

Some good, some bad

The pros: The place was clean, and we enjoyed using the kayaks and firepit. The lake is lovely, and it was nice to be on waterfront. Paul (the owner's nephew and only contact we had) helped with problems when he could. (But he was away during about half of our stay. We had no contact with the owner.) The cons: Dishwasher and wifi did not work during our entire week-long stay. (Dryer also did not work, but Paul replaced it with one that did.) Nothing covering the windows, so very bright, very early in the morning. Neighbor honked her car horn 4 times every morning around 6am. There was a mouse in the kitchen. Paul brought a trap over, but the critter evaded it, and we saw evidence of it all week. The beds are okay (not great). The furniture and TV are from the 70s. It would've been nice to have been offered some money back, considering we did book this place because it was supposed to have some amenities that were unusable (wifi and dishwasher).

Good lake location

Place is a little intimidating at first glance (i.e. front entrance looks rough) but around back and up stairs the unit is clean and has all the essentials. Best feature is the lake access and kayaks. Beware that tv and internet are limited but you should be outside enjoying beautiful Maine not sitting inside! We had a great time.

Thank you for your thoughts on Violette's Beach. I will continue to do my best to make this a better place. The internet was fixed to a well working order. This place was also in the family for many years and has just recently changed hands again. I'm in the process of making things better in time! Most everything will be up dated in time. I do make it as comfortable as possible. Have a great summer! Sincerely Paul Violette

This is an incredible place to stay

Violettes beach has the most incredible views of Green Lake and the condo was fully equipped with everything you need. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of towels and linens to use. It has a beautiful size deck from the second story that makes a great feel of view of Green Lake. We only stayed for a few days and time was to short for this wonderful place. And the host Paul was very accommodating for all our personal needs. I can't wait to come again next year. Fabulous!
