Cabin was well furnished and cozy. The sunrise and sunsets were simply beautiful. Loved the apple orchard down the road. Thanks for sharing this jewel!
This place is a picture perfect getaway, Quite, secluded and peaceful. Just the right size for family or just a couple. The only negative is that we had to leave.
Absolutely perfect cabin the the woods! The pictures do not do justice to this property! The flat rock on the lake was perfect for evening sunsets and cocktails. The proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia was reasonable. We liked being away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Ellsworth had everything we needed. Our hosts had the cabin wonderfully equipped and were responsive throughout the process. We highly recommend!!!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this cabin and property. The host was so easy to communicate with and very helpful at all times. The cabin is absolutely beautiful and is located on a beautiful, peaceful lake. The views from the cabin are amazing as are they from Flat Rock. It was so nice to have kayaks and life jackets available to us. The cabin is so cozy and comfortable. I wish we could have stayed longer.
This place definitely surpassed expectations. The home is comfortable and easy to find. Nice to be out of the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor and Acadia itself but still an easy drive. The flat rock area (a slab of rock which extends into the lake itself) was incredible for watching the sunset. Nothing like waking up lakeside with the water just outside the window.
The host was gracious and quick to respond. We had an excellent time. Would absolutely recommend to anyone and would stay there again ourselves in a heartbeat.
We loved the charming cabin, the pristine lake, and swimming right off the flat rock. Fantastic location! Very relaxing. The perfect getaway. Truly a unique place. (And a very responsive host. Thank you!!)
What a beautiful piece of property nestled right on Branch Lake. The cabin was spacious with everything you need from home to enjoy your stay hassle-free. We took in all scenery, enjoyed some great hikes, cooled off in the lake, and filled up on fresh Lobster and blueberry pie. You don't want to miss out on an opportunity to stay at Flat Rock.
We loved everything about the cabin! The owner is very responsive and made the experience simple and seemless. The location is perfect and the house has everything you could possibly need to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. It is centralized and convenient to so many great places to visit. The cabin is very cozy and felt like home. We had a wonderful time star gazing and photographing the milky way from Flat Rock. We even captured a bit of the aurora borealis, which we have never seen before! It was amazing to see so many stars in the night sky. We even heard an owl while stargazing. The fall colors were beautiful. Our entire family had a wonderful time and we miss it already! We can't wait to go back.
Amazing vacation full of memories that will last a lifetime.
This cabin was a little sentimental piece of paradise right on the waters edge, that was full of character, warmth and charm. Communication responses were quick, honest and upfront. We will most certainly return again in the future.i
Our family will be talking about Flat Rock for years to come. This charming property is fully appointed so we could enjoy everything we wanted to. The kayaks and fishing were a hit, and the views of the lake were picture perfect. Communication with the host was seamless. We were close enough to town to grab what we needed, but far enough away to feel like we had our own little spot of paradise. Anyone considering this listing to take in Bar Harbor and Acadia should book now!
Centrally located near Acadia and Bangor, conveniently near shopping and groceries etc. nice lake, not too busy and some pretty good fishing. Great house, comfy master bed!!
Beautiful place with gorgeous views. House was well stocked with everything, including information answering questions about things to do, directions for operating appliances, restaurants, distances to towns, etc.
A perfect girls getaway! Plenty of room…so nice to sit out on the rocks early in the morning and to watch the sunsets. Would love to stay here again sometime!!

About the host
Hosted by Sheree Cave
My husband's grandfather built this camp in 1940. We recently purchased the cabin and have spent many months renovating it. We added AC/ heating, an extra bathroom, new electrical and plumbing, washer and dryer, many new windows and flooring. We love Flat Rock (which is an actually place on the backside of the cabin, for which is got it's name!). And we can't wait to share it with you....
Why they chose this property
This camp is a centerpiece for our family and we want to share it with you.
What makes this property unique
Flat Rock is the only flat ledge on the entire 12 miles of shoreline.
