We spent 3 days here this week, and this property was perfect for our trip to Acadia. The home is very cozy, and exactly what the doctor ordered after a very rainy hike in the park. It is well-stocked with everything you need to function there (cooking, sleeping, plenty of hot water, chilling down by the lake). You really can’t ask for more, and Sheree was very communicative throughout the rental process, from beginning to end. I highly recommend this property.

Most amazing views of Branch Lake even from the bed! Large windows completely private area. Loved the availability of your kayaks. So peaceful and great place to see Fall leaves changing. Close to to Acadia NP and Ellsworth. Best warm lobster rolls at Trenton Bridge Lobster shack on the way home from Acadia! Clean and loved the rustic interior complete with hemlock tree!

Our family loved our time at this camp/cabin. It was fully stocked with everything you could need for cooking & fishing & getting out in the water. We didn’t get nearly enough time there. The views from the flat rocks & the cabin were stunning. It’s an easy ride to/from Bar Harbor & Acadia. We hope to come back!

We loved Fort Rock cabin. It was so private and quiet. The furnishings were beyond comfortable. We loved the main bedroom with king bed and surround windows to the lake and trees. The water filter was wonderful and saved on plastic which is so important for our planet. Thank you

The perfect place! This cabin was nestled in the woods beautifully placed on the lake front conveniently located to local attractions. Easy to relax at night watching the beautiful sunset along with peaceful calls of the loons. The pictures and description don’t do the place justice. Easy drive to the fort, Acadia national park, downtown Bar Harbor and Schoonies point. Highly recommend!

This cabin is so charming and was the best part of our vacation. Highly recommend. The pictures don't even do this cabin justice. You have to see it in person. The rock beach and swim area is private and the water is crystal clear. We swam, went fishing and kayaking. It was wonderful. And the owner was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Thank you!

We had a marvelous time at Sheree and Jason’s camp! The cabin was clean, had a well stocked kitchen, very comfortable beds and plenty of things to enjoy the lake. Our family really enjoyed fishing off flat rock and from the kayak’s and listening to the wind in the trees as we played games. Of course, Acadia was a highlight too. Communication with Sheree was excellent. Would highly recommend and wish we lived closer so we could do it all again!

The Flat Rock cabin was fantastic! We couldn't have hoped for a better location on Branch Lake. There was easy access to the lake for swimming, fishing, and kayaking (and the host-provided fishing rods and kayaks really came in handy). The location in near Ellsworth was very convenient for grocery shopping and visiting Acadia. And hot tip on Acadia: if it isn't your first time to Acadia and want to skip the crowds of Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island, then check out the Schoodic Peninsula. It's still Acadia National Park, you can still get your stamp and go on excellent hikes, and there are much fewer visitors.The cabin itself was great. Plenty of room for four people, and the two extra beds in the loft would definitely be great if you have kids. The kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, no need to worry about not having the right pots and pans to cook, or grilling utensils for the propane grill. Lastly, the TV came in clutch for the full day of rain we received. There is a bit of contention about not having technology when vacationing in Maine, but being able to hunker down during constant downpours and eat popcorn during movies is just perfect. And yes, the Wi-Fi is plenty fast to support all the streaming services.Oh, if you visit after the first of September, the apple orchard across the street will be open. We did that during one of the downpours and it was hilariously fun.

It sounds like you had a great time and great suggestions. Thank you! Another tip...you can go at Acadia National Park after 6pm (maybe 5pm?) and you can get in free. There are no guards at the gates. It's wonderful when you have longer days as there is practically no one there then. Easy parking where you want! Go to dinner in Bar Harbor and then go to the park. Just a different experience.
