Everything was great. Our guest was so accommodating. The location was perfect as it was close to family and where we had spent our summers as children.
Mary Jane is a wonderful host who is attentive and the property is spotless. The property was slightly noisy from the traffic on the main road, but overall really lovely and in the evening it was quiet. It has everything one would need for a relaxing getaway.
The cabin is cozy with a beautiful view and access to Gardner Lake. The host is wonderful with great communication. We would come again without question. Thank you Mary Jane
It was perfect for our short little stop! It was clean and perfect space for us! The views were breathtaking! The pizza recommendation was so good! We had a great time!
We had a great stay at Mary Jane’s cabin! It had everything we needed: a lake to swim in, a comfortable bed, a very usable kitchen, a deck for reading and dinner and sunsets, WiFi, close enough to explore Lubec, Eastport, Machias, coastal hikes, etc etc. Great communication, very clean, would absolutely return.
This was a perfectly peaceful and relaxing stay. The host thought of everything! The lapping water on the lake was a soothing background night and day. There is a road nearby, but the traffic is so minimal that it doesn’t take away from the experience at all. We packed a cooler because there’s not much nearby for restaurants, but that was fine because we didn’t have much desire to go anywhere. We had one slight issue that was immediately addressed within minutes with multiple apologies. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be back!
Nice cottage clean and nice location. Advertised as 2 beds owner contacted me short time before to say pullout couldn’t be pulled out. Ultimately we did get it to pull out and used it but somewhat incorrect advertisement.

This lake house is the one of my dreams…cozy with great views!
The property was well taken care of and perfect for anyone who enjoys being outdoors with convient access to the main road. Mary was extremely friendly and welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay.
Quiet spot, very clean and has an amazing view of the lake. MaryJane the host is super nice and there if you need anything. Will definitely stay here again!
The cabin is well-stocked and tidy. Mary Jane is a kind and thoughtful host. The lake is a dream—definitely bring water shoes! We want to return for another trip!
This small cabin on Lake Gardner is just as advertised - a cozy cabin. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. The bedroom is small but we slept the best we have for our whole trip. It’s nothing fancy, but a great base camp to explore this area of Maine. I would recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Mary Jane Good
I grew up in Camden, Maine. I fell in love with Downeast Maine when I taught science at Washington Academy. I love to fish, swim and hike. Retired in 2022 from my law practice and now spend my summers taking care of the lakefront rentals. I keep a Lily pad out for swimming and fun for the kids. I enjoy seeing guests sitting on the deck and relaxing as the sun sets.
Why they chose this property
Sunsets in the summer. Booming ice in the spring and fall as it builds and melts. I love being able to swim after the sun sets and the lake quiets down, especially when there is a full moon. Eagles, Kingfishers, Canadian geese, mergansers and osprey are common. Loons visit the cove and you can sometimes hear the loons calling as well as coyotes howling at night. The lake can be very calm but can kick up into 4+ foot waves. Listening to the many migrating birds on morning walks on the camp road and Gardner Lake Road is great with the Merlin app. A short 5 minute drive brings you to a portion of the Downeast Trails where you can walk from the Rim Road to Machias through marshy areas with Eagles, geese, cormorants, kingfishers, ducks, great blue heron, snowy egrets in the fall and more.
What makes this property unique
The unobstructed lake view and direct water access.
