My sister and I were on a "memory" tour from times during our childhood when we were staying in Dover-Foxcroft. Our tour was made even more special by staying in this cabin! It was centrally located to everywhere we wanted to be and a great home base. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. Sunsets were spectacular! We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves visiting this part of Maine again!

Perfect location… water view from screened porch. Cleanliness outstanding. Owners immediately went out if their way to bring down a phone charger to replace one forgotten at home… so thoughtful. Loons were omnipresent. Kayaks were fun… lake was calm… really enjoyed them.

Sweetest Couples Cabin

This cabin is the PERFECT place for a couple to escape from everyday life and ACTUALLY RELAX! It provides the seclusion and comfort needed to have the well deserved vacation we all crave. It is close enough to the coast and Acadia Park that you can make day trips, and come home to enjoy each other. It's large enough to bring preteens, butttt... make this destination just for yourselves!! Don't forget to get cheesecake from MoMo's to bring home and enjoy together!

We loved staying at this little cabin! The kitchen is well stocked, the place was mostly clean and the location is absolutely perfect… the lake is beautiful and peaceful! We loved having a canoe to use. There are kayaks too but we enjoyed the canoe. We took it around the island each evening! The cabin could use a good deep clean for the spider webs high and low. I cleared out several. And the mattress does sink into the middle. But overall we would stay again.

Nature Bountiful

The host was first rate with communication all through the process and was seamless. The decor of the cabin is just darling!! The nature was spectacular and the water gorgeous! Our first night we saw a swimming bald eagle, and the call of the loons were spectacular every morning! The only recommendations I have is a new bed mattress and kayaks that are in the water when you arrive with updated dated paddles. The kayaks were a bit heavy to put in the water from the rack.

Perfect cabin

A perfect cabin on George’s Pond was just the getaway we needed. Very clean and had everything we needed. Close enough to Acadia where we spent many of our days. Communication with the owners was clear, fast, and friendly. Would love to stay here again.

Great getaway!

Property was as advertised. Stay was pleasant, hosts were great - close by in case of issues - but none to speak of. Cabin getaway was exactly what we needed and the property was beautiful and serene. Cabin was clean and tidy which is a huge deal for my clean freak (in a good way) partner! This place is on our list if we return to Maine!
