What a magical place this is! We had a wonderful week here relaxing, touring the beautiful area, and watching the seals fishing. It is very quiet here, the view is spectacular, and the house comfortable. If you are looking to experience the beauty and quiet of Maine, this is the place to do it. We can’t wait to come back. Our dog loved the property too, the dirt road was perfect for early morning and end of day walks.

This was great stay for our family of four. Lots to do in the area and an hour from Bar Harbor and Acadia. We loved the big deck and amazing view. House is well stocked with special treats from the owner. No air conditioning so we had one hot night but otherwise great!

We really enjoyed the peaceful location of this property. The views of the water are simply stunning. The deck is the perfect place for morning coffee. The bird feeders were so enjoyable— I especially loved all the hummingbirds. As others have said: while you feel alone in nature here, you are actually just a short trip down the road from Bagaduce Lunch etc. It took us just an hour to get to Acadia, so we were able to make multiple today trips there and back over the week. We appreciated the owners’ communication and welcome items (coffee, trail mix etc) upon arrival. We would love to return to Maine.

Great Place to stay beautiful view

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was great with a nice view from the deck and eating area. Well stocked kitchen. It was a great location - very private. The view was awesome. A lot to do in the area. The owner was great to work with and very responsive. We enjoyed the campfire as well. We plan on staying again.

Perfect Experience

My wife and I stayed at Oak Ledge for 4 nights. The property is simply wonderful. A waterfront property with a sweet house with a great view that is remote (very rural and peaceful) but not TOO far from larger grocery stores, restaurants etc... The house has every amenity you need or want and is a very easy place to relax in. We would absolutely stay at this property again.

This home is a perfect rural Maine retreat - the view and the grounds are stunning and the home is cozy and feels like staying with family. So many thoughtful touches throughout. Steve was responsive and helpful and everything was just as described. I only wish we could have stayed longer!

That evening sky!

We had a lovely time staying here. The location exceeded our expectations, including the drive through the meadows and the woods. The house is comfy and well furnished, and the preparations are thoughtful and many (paper goods, towels, spices). The sizeable deck is a pleasure and we spent much time there sitting and reading and dining. As an enthusiastic backyard birder, I was delighted by the variety of company drawn to the feeders on the deck. And then there is the daily evening show as the sun sets, the lights change on and over the Bagaduce River. On beyond lovely.

Time away from the crazy life

We were blown away with the views and the location right from the start. The house was very relaxing and comfortable. Not having a TV in the house was great to have my kids focus more on family time. We found a hidden gem only a few minutes from the house for a great lunch stop and it was called. Crazy Otto’s street food… I highly recommend. It was a very hot week, so I’m glad that I brought my easy up to have on the deck for shade during the hot times of the day and the couple short rain showers that we had. overall, I would give this place a 10 out of 10 for vacation spots with the family

Peaceful, secluded, comfortable retreat by the water

Stunning views! Comfortable and well loved cabin. All cooking equipment and supplies provided. Washer and dryer were very helpful. We walked down the path to the beach at least once a day! Lots of interesting books and board games. Peaceful and quiet. We loved watching the birds outside on the deck every morning and the chipmunks. Plenty of room for a family, very comfortable couches and lighting in living room perfect to tuck into a book or just relax. The night sky was breathtaking and the fire pit ideal for roasting s'mores. A slice of heaven!

Magical spot

Lisa & Steve have done a great job making Oak Ledge a comfortable home away from home. Our family couldn't get enough of the amazing view from the living room, bedrooms, deck, etc. From the moment we pulled up into the driveway, we knew we would have a wonderful week. And it was even better walking into the clean and comfortable house. It was a week we'll never forget and we can't wait to return! Thank you!!

Peaceful get away

The cabin is so cozy, has everything you need and extra supplies. A library of books and magazines was an unexpected bonus on our rainy days. Location is perfect, so quiet, the grounds are beautiful and you can walk right to the water for low tide critter searching. House and water have amazing sunset views. Beds are super comfy and all rooms have water views. 2 huge decks. So much wild life. Our family of four did some day trips around the area, but our favorite thing of the trip was the cabin and grounds.

Such a comfortable and peaceful place

My husband and I have been renting vacation homes in Maine off and on for 30 years. This may be the best place ever for us! The property is clean and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen and nice local art throughout! Steve and Lisa welcomed us with local coffee, trail mix, and jam. Nice touches! The house is secluded and views of the water and local wildlife are beautiful. As others have suggested, you can spend a lot of time relaxing in these surroundings! The house is .4 miles from a main road down a packed gravel/dirt one which was great for short dog walks. Blue Hill is only 8 miles away for supplies, restaurants and shopping. We also visited several Blue Hill Heritage Trust trails at Steve’s suggestion. If you are looking for beauty, peace and quiet down east, I would highly recommend!
