The glorious memories we are taking back with us! The first glorious view of the lake from Flat Rock, the shooting stars and a glimpse of the Milky Way, family games in the cozy, comfortable cabin, picking apples from the orchard, turkeys and deer strolling in the blueberry fields. Loved the charm of the town of Ellsworth and the wild beauty of Acadia. We could not have picked a better place to land for this trip. Lots of loving touches in this wonderful cabin! Hope to return!

Flat Rock provided a peaceful vacation week for our family. We loved the location. The lake was easily accessible and our kids swam almost every day. It was a short drive to both Bar Harbor and Bangor but for a day trip to each. The house had everything we really needed stocked for basics, we went into town and picked up groceries after making our plan and thoroughly enjoyed the kitchen/dining view of the lake.

So hard to leave Flat Rock cabin! The views of Branch Lake are stunning. We enjoyed sitting on the flat rock for the sunset. The cabin has so much charm from the tree post to the stained glass. This cabin has been lovingly cared for by family and it shows. Our favorite VRBO so far! We would stay again in a heartbeat. We are 4 seniors and just enjoyed relaxing in the beauty but they provide kayaks and other amenities for those who wish. Host is very responsive.

What an iconic Maine lakehouse vacation! The house has plenty of space, and did I mention seemingly never-ending views of the water?! Not only was it beautiful, it had amenities galore, to include kayaks, life jackets, fishing poles and gear, board games, puzzles and lots of Maine guidebooks! We would definitely do this again!

Girls getaway long weekend

Beautiful area, lakeside. Had a very relaxing comfortable stay at this lovely cozy home. The weather wasn’t exactly on our side but we enjoyed staying in and relaxing and making puzzles and memories. Close to Bar Harbor and Bangor. Great view from Flat Rock. Wish there were a few less trees so you could have a better view of the lake from inside but that’s minor. Had a great time!!

Host profile image

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.
