There were 11 of us for our annual family reunion. The place was beautiful and clean and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the kayaks and canoe to explore the lake. It was just as described, and we would not hesitate to stay there again in the future. It was definitely worth the 5 mile drive down the dirt roads!

Great Getaway!

This is a great place to stay to get away from it all! We loved the houses and the hosts have thought of everything! We had two families of four stay and had plenty of room in the Maine house with the occasional use of the other two houses. The fire pits on the deck and by the lake were great! We’d love to stay here again if we visit Acadia.

Perfect family gathering spot

A truly spectacular property, plenty of space from multiple families to be able to spread out and allow for children to be napping, while others were playing in a separate Cabin. Close enough for an easy paddle to the junk of Pork, while still in a quiet area of the cove, to be able to listen to the loons swimming by all week. check-in was very easy and the hosts were readily available if we needed anything.

Amazing and as Advertised

Such a great location and property for our 3 families. Off the beaten path on a quiet corner of the lake, we spent lots of time swimming, paddling, and relaxing. The Maine house easily accommodated us for meals, games, and hanging out. The cabins were great to spread out at night. We look forward to a repeat stay!

Family Time

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Spent most of the time on the main house deck eating, hanging out, and playing cribbage. The family enjoyed swimming in the pond and the use of the kayaks. We also enjoyed the main fire pit. Overall it was a great stay and would do it again.

What an awesome place.

We celebrated my husbands 60th birthday with 3 families and had plenty of space. The rooms were comfortable and loads of space to get together. We also appreciated little things like baby gates - with 2 2 year olds it was a godsend. We would love to come back!

We absolutely loved our stay here! It was nice having a few different houses on the property, it gave quiet time for the people who didn’t have kids. The view was gorgeous, we loved being by the lake. We enjoyed swimming in the lake and fishing in the morning and at night. The road back does take you a little bit to travel (it is 5 miles exactly and takes about 20 minutes or so), it really helped to keep it super private back there. We enjoyed sitting down at the fire pit at night listening to the loons on the lake and looking at the stars. We really enjoyed our stay!

Family Birthday Event

The house and surroundings were fabulous! The family gathered to celebrate a big birthday and no one wanted to leave. Everyone (14 of us) had the best time. That is saying a lot with ages ranging from 6 to 60. Plenty of things to do to keep everyone occupied. The erratics were especially fun to swim and kayak around.

Family Reunion

Property was fabulous, location absolutely amazing, even though it’s a little off the beaten track, views over the serene lake, sitting on the deck many early morning's listening to the beautiful haunting sounds of the loons. The children had the most fun exploring the grounds looking for frogs etc as well as exciting trips out on the canoes. A truly magical holiday. We Will Be Back !!!

Great stay!

Our group had three families with kids ranging from 9-16. There were plenty of things to do around the house. They enjoyed fishing, swimming, and kayaking. The Birds Nest is a great retreat for a couple. The Bears Den is a nice addition. The house worked perfectly as our home base. It does take about twenty minutes to drive the last five miles. We enjoyed being secluded but plan ahead with groceries. We cooked our own breakfast and many meals. Roasting marshmallows was a favorite treat! There are plenty of life jackets in all sizes and games to play. Rent this house! You won’t regret it!

This property was so beautiful and had anything you can think of. Communication with the host was excellent and they were also very accommodating. The last 16ish minutes of the road leading to the property was a little rough but once you get there, it's all worth it. We can't wait to visit again. The Alves
