We had a lovely stay in September. The cottage is perfect for two people. Cozy, well laid out and right on the water. It was quiet and convenient to Camden. We appreciated having everything we needed for a great week. A highlight was daily visits with Gus, the owners’ Bernedoodle. We would love to come back.

This was the perfect little cabin! We loved how close it was to everything and yet was a secluded little piece of heaven away from the crowds. It was pretty, spotless and so comfortable. It had everything we needed and more! Gus the dog was so sweet we loved his little visits and Laura was so wonderful in sharing lots of ideas and information about the area. We can't wait to return!!

Relaxing week away…

We so enjoyed our week at this wonderful peaceful setting on Lermond Pond, and the cottage had everything you would need. Laura was a great host and communicator and offered several suggestions of restaurants to try and nearby attractions to check out. We would not hesitate to stay there again.

Wonderful!

Lovely cabin, right on the water. So peaceful and quiet and in a great location, just a short drive to Camden or Rockport or a couple of wineries in the area. Amazing sunsets from the dock, lots of birds (saw a Cedar Waxwing for the first time) including Loons crossing the pond. Highly recommend.

Fantastic Maine Retreat!

My husband and I just returned from our 20 year anniversary trip to Maine. Our stay in Laura's cabin was perfect. We were close to the towns that we wanted to visit and yet felt like we were in a secluded and quiet retreat. Being able to wake up in the morning and drink our coffee while looking over the lake was wonderful. We would definitely stay here again!

An excellent small house. Just right size for two people. Bath is excellent with an excellent (non-slippery) shower, good kitchen, wonderful living room and outdoor chairs etc are top notch. When we were there the TV component was a bit wonky due to cable troubles, but that didn't matter much to us and I think was temporary.If you want a beautiful, quiet, peaceful stay on the water front in a very interesting and non-tourist dominated part of Maine this is the place for you!

Peaceful Getaway!!

The cabin was just as described, very cozy, right on the water. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Laura and Blaine were very accommodating. Laura gave very helpful suggestions for places to visit including a place to buy the freshest lobsters and clams from a lobsterman of 50+ years!!! If your looking for a relaxing getaway this is the place!!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Laura’s cozy lakeside cottage. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed by Laura and her sweet dog, Gus—they were fantastic hosts who made sure everything was just right. The cottage was exactly as advertised: charming, spotless, and perfectly situated right on a serene, peaceful lake. Waking up to the water each morning and enjoying quiet evenings by the shore made for the ideal fall escape.This was the perfect getaway for two—relaxing, beautiful, and incredibly comfortable. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil retreat. Thank you, Laura (and Gus!), for a truly memorable stay!

I would give it 10 stars if I could. So peaceful! So cozy! And it come with Gus, the world’s sweetest pooch! (He visits from the main house…he doesn’t actually live in the cabin). Laura, the owner was wonderful. Everything you could ever want. I’ll be back!

Peaceful Cottage

A peaceful and beautiful cottage nestled a few feet from the water's edge. Everything you need for a relaxing stay to recharge and revive was provided. A good nights sleep is guaranteed in a very comfortable bed and the cottage was well equipped, including comfortable chairs inside and out to enjoy the view and the calls of the loons.

Quiet by the lake

Spent 4 great days at the “Bunkhouse “ and it was really nice. Quiet with great views over the water. This is a really nice rustic cabin. The roads leading in are in good shape but are gravel in places.Not a problem but be aware. Would highly recommend for a couple.

The Bunkhouse

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Bunkhouse. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy all that Maine has to offer. The Bunkhouse was conveniently located to Camden and Rockport. The owner, Laura, was the best on providing info where to explore, dine and even a lesson on e-bikes! We will definitely be back for another stay. Highly recommend. Thank you Laura for making our stay the best Maine vacation yet.

Ultimate relaxation

We were totally pleased beyond our expectations, a fantastic private location with all the amenities supplied for a comfortable stay. Canoeing ,swimming, fishing right at your doorstep. Laura and Blaine were great hosts , very accommodating , with emphasis on making sure we had everything needed to have one of the best vacations we have had. We have used VRBO numerous times and this experience was the best we have had. I would highly recommend this for any couple who wants to have a total relaxing vacation.
