Relaxing and just right.

This was a great stay for our family vacation to Acadia National Park. The fire pit, dock, and water crafts were great.

Amazing fishing location!

We loved the cozy cabin! We went in August and it was great. The pond next to the cabin is stocked with bass. We caught and released so many! Highly recommended for anyone that wants to fish.

The cottage is a cabin by a lake. The cabin has electricity, a bathroom and a kitchen. Rustic but comfortable. We took the canoe around the lake. Location of the cabin is very quiet. The bathroom is on the main floor so middle of the night trip’s required steps. The bed was soft. That being said we both said we would stay again.

Our first time in Maine and picked a perfect place for our stay. The cabin has a real rustic feel with direct access to the pond. We had enjoyed canoeing, paddle boarding and fishing. It is a short drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Also, only 15 minutes from the best cheesecake in Maine, MoMo's in Ellsworth.We cannot say enough about Vacasa customer service. They addressed our request promptly and professionally.

Log Cabin

Good Place to stay. Very nice to relax and fish. Caught crappie Small Mouth Bass Muskie. I would go back again. Note this/ If you go away from the bigger towns the food gets better and cheaper. Thanks so much for having us.

Peaceful and rustic

Rustic cabin with most required amenities, comfy bed, spacious for 2-4 people. The dock on the pond is superb. Such a gorgeous spot for coffee, reading or snoozing. Very nice to have kayak etc and paddle around the pond which is super quiet. We rode bikes on the nearby mixed use path which was fun. Easy access to Ellsworth and Acadia. Recommend!
