An incredible off-grid escape! The lodge was clean, cozy, and perfectly located for exploring Acadia and the surrounding area. Our dog had an amazing time experiencing the waterfront and trails with us. Highly recommend to anyone looking to unplug and travel with their four-legged best friend!

Beautiful Property, very peaceful! We explored the river on the kayaks, took the canoe over to the pond, enjoyed nice camp fires and gazed at amazing stars at night! Cabin was very clean, had everything we needed to make dinners and relax playing cribbage and chilling out. The beds were super comfy! Kim was very responsive to a few questions we had during the week. Will definitely be back!

PERFECT!! It’s the best way to describe both the description and the seclusion of our vacation. It is so quiet you could hear the hawks wings flap above you!! I would visit often if we lived close enough. Was lucky to fish, enjoy the wildlife, the fresh blueberries and TOTAL RELAXATION! The host is on top of everything and I do not think we wanted anything we did not have offered. I would strongly recommend booking a stay here.

My husband and I came up from South Carolina for a delayed honeymoon. The cabin is spectacular and it’s so well laid out, great kitchen and utensils, can’t say enough about the outdoor space, wonderful fire, pit area, and gas grill, and the pond with the kayaks and the canoe and my husband went fishing and caught a couple fish. We brought along our Shih Tzu and he was able to just run free not on a lead… There’s just so much space for him to explore and me feel safe with him not going anywhere. No intrusive animals appeared just a beautiful blue Jay on the birdfeeder she has hanging outside the living room window.If I lived closer, this would be a great weekend rental to come and just unwind enjoy the outdoors and the peace and quiet. The outdoor space you can’t really explain it. It’s just quiet. Loved it and would recommend it for a booking absolutely.

This lodge was absolutely stunning! It had so many amenities and was close to the river. It was a super relaxing and beautiful location & lodge. The pictures of the lodge and land does not do the property justice! 10/10 I would recommend anyone to stay here. My husband and I are already thinking to come back and hopefully stay longer than this visit.
The view of the river from just behind the lodge!
Lodge entrance. The wood work was stunning both exterior and interior!

As advertised, beautiful location and highly recommend for those looking to detach from the day to day hustle. Plan ahead for grocery shopping as there wasn’t much available this time of year for restaurants. Loved that we were able to bring our pup, he had a great time bunny watching!

Nice place. Beds were comfortable and clean. Quiet and quiet, no sounds of cars or people. Had everything we needed. Loved the outdoor eating area and fire pit.But be sure to bring supplies as it is a drive to a store. We stopped in Bangor on the way in. Glad we did.
