Taylor camp was even better than I had expected. It was beautiful, very spacious, very well equipped and spotless when we arrived. My immediate and extended family & friends had a great time! If we decide to repeat this sort of vacation in Maine, we’ll be sure to stay at Taylor camp!

We just came home from a great vacation at Tunk Lake. Cabin was located right on the peaceful lake, it was comfortable, clean, well stocked with every item for cooking, exploring the lake and touring info. We had a blast Hiking several mountains and kayaking the lake. The kids had a blast on the dock, swimming, catching fish, kayaking and lying on the dock at night to see many falling stars. The view was breathtaking and very relaxing. We enjoyed walking around Bar Harbor and having dinner. I loved the screened in porch with the comfortable chairs for reading and watching the kids. They also had a great time at schonic point (how spell) caught and released crabs, starfish and sea urchins. If your looking to relax and spend time with family this is a great place.

Taylor Camp is the place of holiday dreams. Its location is beautiful and the cabin has everything you need. If you feel the urge to explore, the harbours, forests, beaches and seafood are all worth seeking out but some of us chose not to leave for the whole week. Lazy afternoons on the jetty or on the water merged into starlit evenings listening to the loons. For anyone looking to enjoy the solitude and scenery of Maine from a beautifully appointed cabin, Taylor Camp is ideal-look no further.

The cabin was really very nice. As we drove in, we wondered if we were in the right place! The location is very remote and secluded. But, in its seclusion, everything is just right. The woods are beautiful. The lake is perhaps the clearest water that we had ever seen. Everything that you would need is covered. The kitchen is well appointed. The beds were very comfortable. The screened in porch was perfect. Everyone had a wonderful time at Taylor Camp. It's a good idea to stop off for provisions on your way into the camp as it is a bit of drive back to the store. There is no real beach at the camp. The rocky shore is nice, but you can only swim from the dock. In all, it was a very nice vacation spot. For a nice day trip, be sure to hit the Jordan Pond House in Acadia National Park. Bunker's Wharf on the Schoodic side is also great for lunch.
Owner response:We are very please that the families who have chosen the Taylor Camp have loved it. If you are interested, i suggest booking as early as the fall before because we usually have returning families who book early.

We are now in our 4th year renting the Taylor Camp. As best as I can tell, our camp has exceeded everyone's expectations. We have been very fortunate to have attracted wonderful families who have taken good care of our cabin. If you are interested in the summer of 2008, I suggest you contact us this fall as we typically have a few families who come back.

Our week's visit in mid-June 2007 could not have been more delightful. Spotlessly clean cabin with all the comforts of home and panoramic views, through a fragrant pine forest, of beautiful Tunk Lake--not another sign of civilization. It was a stay we will long remember, and are recommending your wonderful vacation home to everyone within earshot. Peaceful, remote, idyllic surroundings in 5-star accommodations. And the lobstah was pretty good, too.

Private, clean, fully stocked and centrally located...four ways to describe this wonderful rental home. Our family of seven thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Taylor Camp. The water was clear, the atmosphere relaxed and our day trips to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park left us with memories we'll cherish the rest of our lives.

We have visited this warm family camp on a yearly basis since '92. My children and I have spent countless hours playing in and around this home in the wilderness. We have enjoyed boatrides to the state maintained sand beaches across the lake and love to check in on the huge beaver dam. We have waterskied, fished, swum and iceboated on beautiful Tunk Lake and look forward to getting back soon!
