The cabin is as described and a great step up from tenting. You’ll need everything but the tent as it says. The cabin is a short walk from where you can park and the porta-potty is also located near where you park, so a short walk from the cabin. The cabin had electricity as described and the fridge and stove worked great. The view is lovely and although it was too windy to use any of the paddle boards, they were there for use too. Already looking at our schedule so we can book a return trip.

We loved staying at this lakeside cabin! Truly a slice of heaven. Everything is as described. Electricity is available with a fridge, microwave, stove, lights, coffee maker, and plugs. They even have a fishing rod, kayaks, and paddleboards. Couch only, no bed or bedding. Friendly note to others: It doesn’t hurt to sweep the cabin or wash the sink for the next person. Leave it better than you found it.

This was a really cool location. Overlooking the pond (which looks much more like a large lake) with a campfire ring and Adirondack chairs by the water. The place was very clean and comfortable. Make sure you pack in your own amenities, including a blanket and pillow as these aren’t there, and there is no bed, but there is a comfortable couch. The room comes with a stove and oven, and some pots and pans and a sink for dishwashing. It also has electricity and a few lamps, microwave, and coffee maker. No running water so bring a gallon jug of your own water for washing with. It has a nice size refrigerator for storing drinks and food. The location is very close to Acadia national Park, which I visited and did some hiking. Acadia is one of the most beautiful parks I’ve ever been to. Finally, the host is quick to reply, and is very communicative and helpful. Great place to stay! Five stars!

Perfect lake cabin getaway

Loved the cabin and the location was breathtaking. The owner provides paddle boards, kayak and all the essentials you need. 10/10 will definitely be booking again. It rained the whole stay and it was still the most peacful and relaxing place I have stayed at in a long time! Cant wait to try it again soon in some dry weather.
