This was the perfect little cabin! We loved how close it was to everything and yet was a secluded little piece of heaven away from the crowds. It was pretty, spotless and so comfortable. It had everything we needed and more! Gus the dog was so sweet we loved his little visits and Laura was so wonderful in sharing lots of ideas and information about the area. We can't wait to return!!

Wonderful!

Lovely cabin, right on the water. So peaceful and quiet and in a great location, just a short drive to Camden or Rockport or a couple of wineries in the area. Amazing sunsets from the dock, lots of birds (saw a Cedar Waxwing for the first time) including Loons crossing the pond. Highly recommend.

Relaxing week away…

We so enjoyed our week at this wonderful peaceful setting on Lermond Pond, and the cottage had everything you would need. Laura was a great host and communicator and offered several suggestions of restaurants to try and nearby attractions to check out. We would not hesitate to stay there again.

Quiet by the lake

Spent 4 great days at the “Bunkhouse “ and it was really nice. Quiet with great views over the water. This is a really nice rustic cabin. The roads leading in are in good shape but are gravel in places.Not a problem but be aware. Would highly recommend for a couple.

Peaceful Cottage

A peaceful and beautiful cottage nestled a few feet from the water's edge. Everything you need for a relaxing stay to recharge and revive was provided. A good nights sleep is guaranteed in a very comfortable bed and the cottage was well equipped, including comfortable chairs inside and out to enjoy the view and the calls of the loons.

Fantastic Maine Retreat!

My husband and I just returned from our 20 year anniversary trip to Maine. Our stay in Laura's cabin was perfect. We were close to the towns that we wanted to visit and yet felt like we were in a secluded and quiet retreat. Being able to wake up in the morning and drink our coffee while looking over the lake was wonderful. We would definitely stay here again!

Peaceful Getaway!!

The cabin was just as described, very cozy, right on the water. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Laura and Blaine were very accommodating. Laura gave very helpful suggestions for places to visit including a place to buy the freshest lobsters and clams from a lobsterman of 50+ years!!! If your looking for a relaxing getaway this is the place!!

The Bunkhouse

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Bunkhouse. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy all that Maine has to offer. The Bunkhouse was conveniently located to Camden and Rockport. The owner, Laura, was the best on providing info where to explore, dine and even a lesson on e-bikes! We will definitely be back for another stay. Highly recommend. Thank you Laura for making our stay the best Maine vacation yet.

Our goal in staying here was to unwind and recover from a very hard and stressful eighteen months and this place did not disappoint. Definitely ten out of ten stars! And Laura was so very wonderful and patient, especially with all of our questions. Laura is simply a very nice lady and a great host. It was the best vacation we have ever had and we definitely plan on going back.

Perfect peaceful getaway!

What a wonderful little retreat, literally steps from the water! Convenient location for outings to Camden and Acadia. Could not ask for a more serene environment to start the day with a cup of coffee and end each one with a glass of wine on the dock or by the fire. You are completely surrounded by the beauty of nature and the cabin has everything you need. Laura was super helpful! Would highly recommend for a couple looking to connect and recharge.

Ultimate relaxation

We were totally pleased beyond our expectations, a fantastic private location with all the amenities supplied for a comfortable stay. Canoeing ,swimming, fishing right at your doorstep. Laura and Blaine were great hosts , very accommodating , with emphasis on making sure we had everything needed to have one of the best vacations we have had. We have used VRBO numerous times and this experience was the best we have had. I would highly recommend this for any couple who wants to have a total relaxing vacation.

Pretty Spot, Good Location

Me spouse and I spent 8 days at the Bunkhouse. It's a great waterfront cabin. Check in was simple. There is a comfortable king size bed. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Also a nice Weber gas grill on the the porch. The town of Hope is well located. We hiked several of the nearby trails. We made trips into Union, Belfast. Camden, Rockport, and Rockland. Found the area has some good restaurants. Overall very enjoyable.

Absolutely PERFECT

This place is EXACTLY what we needed. The cabin is a great size, super cozy and comfortable. Very clean and stocked with necessities as well as games and puzzles, a large TV and plenty of spaces to curl up with a book, or like we did, just sit and soak in the beauty. Quiet, but we were early in the season. The owners are close by for anything you need, even gave us some really great recommendations. They are a very cool couple who know so much about the area! We wanted a getaway, in a cabin on a lake/pond, where we could relax and listen to the loons, and this place DELIVERED.

This is our 2nd stay at the Bunkhouse. The perfect location and perfect hosts. The weather wasn’t that favorable but it didn’t matter. We still enjoyed what the area offered. Laura suggested going to the Botanical Garden in which we did. Well worth it. The highlight of our stay was Laura’s dog, Gus. He started our day with a visit in the morning and ended our day with a visit at night. Such a bonus! Looking forward to another stay at the Bunkhouse.

The way it should be...

As we were bringing in our luggage, we were greeted with a friendly "hello" from her deck. Laura made us feel welcomed from the start, and then her husband, Blaine, came out to join her. Within a few minutes, Gus came down to meet us. Gus is a Bernadoodle who is part of the welcoming committee. The cabin is small, yes, but very clean, efficient, and homey. Our favorite part was the view of the lake...can be easily seen whether you are at the table or sitting on the sofa. So close you can almost touch the water from the steps. Thank you, Laura and Blaine for allowing us and many others to enjoy this part of Maine, the way life should be. Give our best to Gus and Gracey (her Corgy). Hope to see you next year!

Bunkhouse bliss

We had a wonderful five nights at the Hope bunkhouse. The lake is so quiet and serene with hardly any motor boats, which we much appreciated. We loved swimming steps from the cottage, kayaking on the lake, making dinner on the grill, and just chilling on the dock, meditating, reading, and watching the hypnotic ripples. If you're a birder, you'll be richly rewarded in late summer by goldfinches, nuthatches, herons, cedar waxwings, and abundant hummingbirds! And there's so much natural beauty just a short drive away -- we hiked most days and also loved exploring Rockland and Rockport!The bunkhouse itself is beautiful appointed with a variety of vintage furnishings, a very comfortable (but soft) king-size bed, a great little kitchen, and a wonderful shower. Best of all, Laura is a very thoughtful and generous host who is nearby if you need anything, but gives you the space and privacy to feel like you're in your own little paradise. All in all, we had a fabulous, restorative stay, and are already looking forward to returning next summer!

Anniversary trip

This was our 1st time visiting Maine and I will have to say, this little cottage was the perfect little getaway spot; so cozy and peaceful. The view was amazing, right from the living room. Laura was a great host! She text us first thing morning of check in with a video of how to get to the property, which was perfect when arriving in the dark. She answered quickly to any questions we had and followed up with us about our lost luggage. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Such a perfect place to unwind and recharge. Would definitely stay again!

Peaceful Cottage

What a sweet little cottage. The view and having the lake just outside the living room was so peaceful. There was another little living room space at the back of the cottage,however, never even used it. With this view you don’t need it. The cottage has every thing we needed. Will definitely rent again when in the area. Thank you.
