Everything about this place is stunning! There is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and do their own thing. The view of the lake is very serene and calm. We took advantage of the kayaks and canoe as well. The owners are very responsive when you have questions as well. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Peaceful and restful house on the pond. We enjoyed swimming everyday.. the only drawback on this home is one full bathroom, through the master bedroom,and half bath in the hallway on the firts floor.

The fact that they let you have access to kayaks and a canoe, and life jackets!! The kids enjoyed swimming right off the dock! The house was immaculate! Spotless! Smelled wonderful!

Beautiful clean waterfront comfortable home

House had everything needed, beds were very comfortable Home equipment with cleaning supply and vaccum and brroms which families with kids we appreciated very much. Only small inconvenience was the room with single beds and bunk beds is separately from actual home ( kind of garage across)and kids were afraid to sleep there but nice hangou spot for day tome for the kids, ot had tv and lots of games. They provided wood for fire pit which is lovely. Overall 5 out of 5.

Hello Isabelle, we are sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with our home. We work so hard to ensure that our guests have an exceptional experience while visiting the lake and staying in our home and we take our reviews and guests concerns very seriously. So, a few things I would like to mention to address your concerns: All of the TV's in the home have access to YouTube TV, Netflix, and Disney except for one tv (which is located in the queen bedroom on the second floor) which doesn't have access to only Disney , in which we have a note on that tv stating so. Typically when the TV's are turned on they will automatically connect to the streaming apps, but in the event that they need to be logged in there are very detailed directions on how to connect in our 'Guest Welcome Book' that you will find as soon as you walk into the kitchen on the counter. Both of the owners personal phone numbers are also listed in this book as well as on the VRBO app. We encourage all of our guests to call us with any issues you may have big or small so that we can help resolve any unforeseen issues right away. We provide our turnover crew with all of the cleaning products that are used in the home between guests and we only use organic non scented products throughout the home, so I am not sure why the home seemed to smell of perfumes... but we will be sure to be more conscious of this going forward. We do certainly agree that having one more shower in the home would be handy but we are very clear in our listing that-although 3 bathrooms in total- there is only one shower. It would be quite an undertaking to add another shower to the home, and our guests are usually quite understanding and can make the one shower work. We hope that in the future we will be able to add another when time & costs allow. We hope that despite the TV and perfume situation you were able to enjoy our home and beautiful Beech Hill Pond and that otherwise your stay was exceptional.

Unbelievable property

Wow! This place is just perfect! Beautiful home and view. I love to cook for the family and the kitchen was great for it. Great set up for watching the kids play safely at the beach while the adults were hanging out in the living room or on the patio. The beach is great for kids who love to swim, but need to be in a safe shallow water. It stays adult waist level out for about 100 feet and did not get above our heads even out to about 200 feet. The bottom is mostly soft and sandy and not icky or sulfurous. I honestly wouldn’t change one thing about this place. Except for maybe it would be good if there was an additional shower outside of the master bath. We made so many precious memories with our family here. I appreciate the host sharing this lovely home with US.

Little slice of heaven

Our family very much enjoyed our stay at this beautiful lake house. The home and property were stunning and everything was well appointed and in tip top shape. The kids enjoyed all the lake activities including kayaking and swimming and the house provided ample space for relaxing and enjoying ourselves. The drive into Ellsworth, Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park was not super close but still very do-able. One thing to consider when staying here with more than one family is that there is only one full bath and it’s a shower only so there’s no bath tub to bathe little ones if needed which was a new experience for our three year old but the shower was nice and spacious with a handheld shower head that made it easy to shower her off just fine. Also, we were not prepared for the swarms of May flies or fish flies (as we call them in Michigan) that arrived in the evenings but you can’t control nature and we learned to just turn off as many outside lights as possible and keep certain doors shut so as not to attract them as much and I think we just happened to be staying during a time in the season when they are really prevalent and maybe if we came later in the summer there wouldn’t be any issue with them at all. Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed the beauty, fun and quiet time we had on Beech Hill Pond! We hope to come back again!
