About this property

Alamoosook Lake-Upscale Waterfront Home With Fabulous View

Pristine Alamoosook Lake in the little town of Orland (sssh, it's one
of Maine's best kept secrets). Serenity, peace, and tranquility await
you. Awaken with the sun to the sound of the loons. Enjoy a cup of
coffee on the deck of our luxurious home. Look for the eagles who
make this lake their home and appreciate the splendor of nature, pure
and unadulterated, on a leisurely canoe ride. Refresh yourself with a
swim in the surprisingly warm, crisp, clean water. Top off your day
with an evening barbeque and a night under the stars. This is the
ideal vacation retreat for anyone looking to return to nature and
emerge renewed and refreshed. Everyone's paradise, you can relax and
read or write, draw or paint, or venture out and explore. Easily
accessible, we're minutes from the Route 1 corridor, the gateway to
many Maine attractions, and Bangor International Airport is just 25
miles away.

The house and property were roomy and comfortable. The lake was quiet, peaceful and relaxing. A family of deer were often seen grazing and loons could be heard calling. It was also a great location for doing day trips to enjoy other sites in the area. Our hosts were very accommodating as well.

Our stay at the lake was wonderful! The house was very clean and equipped with everything we needed and then some. It has plenty of space for a large family, games, books and an extra living space on the lower kevel that isn't even pictured in the listing. Our family spent a lot of time on the provided kayaks and canoe. The lake is nice and quiet with crystal clear water. It was pretty shallow when we visited. Great for kids. The homeowner was very responsive if you have any questions during your stay.

Vacation

We had a wonderful time. The house was a nice retreat after sightseeing all day. A big kitchen for cooking and a big living room to seat us all while we talked, laughed and reminisced. The outside of the house is just as inviting with the gazebo, campfire ring and lake. And the loons!

Gorgeous views. Kayaking. Beautiful walks. Checking off bucket list for me and my late husband: Eating lobster in Maine in September (yummy). Groundhogs, turkey, ducks, chipmunk, deer and the magnificent loons. Thank you so much. It was exactly the retreat I needed.

Quiet Retreat

This house is great for anyone looking to get away but still be close enough to a town. It is super quiet, no neighbor noise with only the sounds of the loons. Has a great layout for multi aged families. The WiFi is DSL and a bit slow if you are a remote worker but the McDonalds down the street has great WiFi. The house is clean and orderly with lots of outdoor space to play. This property has more of a cabin/camp feel, rustic and simple.

Lovely private home on gorgeous lake

The house and property were great. Well stocked, including plenty of firewood, and bigger and nicer than expected. One of the best properties we've stayed on - wooded, but still sun exposure, privacy, wildlife, quiet lake. The one downside was nothing within the homeowner's control, but did impact our stay - the lake was very shallow. This led to incredible fishing but we brought our boat with us, and it was very difficult to launch it, and then when we did, we needed to moor it since it was much too shallow to bring it to the dock. Otherwise, incredible stay, and we highly recommend it!

What a place!

Being from the south, we were somewhat concerned we arrived and there was no AC unit in the residence. We soon found out that fans were all we needed to stay plenty cool. Furnishings are comfortable as are the beds. The fire pit and kayaks/canoe were an added bonus. Very convenient for touring Acadia and Bangor. We had a blast and can't say enough nice things.

A Restful Retreat

This roomy home is situated on the lake, with a gently sloping access to the water. The lake itself is so clean and clear, perfect for swimming and kayaking. We saw deer, ducks, a baby snapping turtle, and a pair of loons. My grandson enjoyed imitating the loons’s call, and he received a few responses back! We also caught sight of a bald eagle roosting on an island on the lake. This lake has many small islands, some with homes on them, and quiet, pebbly coves to explore. Acadia was within an hours drive, and we hiked and explored Bar Harbor. I feel we only scratched the surface of what there is to explore! We had a wonderful week, and hope to return soon.

Maine vacation

We had a wonderful time and loved the location of the property on the lake. Everything you need is supplied and the use of the BBQ grill, kayaks & canoe added that extra bonus. We cooked on the grill and fished from the canoe multiple times during our short stay. There may have been closer properties to Acadia but not many that compare. We will rent again when we are back in Maine.

Wonderful spot on a quiet lake

My family and my SIL's family enjoyed a peaceful week on Alamoosook Lake. The owners are so friendly and helpful. The property was clean and very comfortable. Tip - bring your Roku or Fire stick for streaming. The lake is great for canoeing, paddle boarding, and swimming. We could hear loons calling, which is always lovely. Nearby Bucksport has a cute bookstore, yummy ice cream, and the Penobscot Narrows bridge observatory and Fort Knox which are both very cool to check out. I would definitely recommend for a quiet getaway.

Beautiful property on a beautiful lake. All 7 of us had a great time on the lake and just relaxing. Not far from Acadia National park where we explored a couple of days.
