About this property

Beautiful Lakefront Home on Phillips Lake

Our lakefront home is ready to rent starting this July 2023. We built another year-round property just a short walk down the road that we are in the process of moving into. We as hosts will be happy to help in any way to make your vacation or extended stay memorable with being so close and assessable. Stunning views of the lake from every room are waiting to be enjoyed. Bring your own boat as there is a public boat launch across the lake and your private dock is just feet away from your front door. Enjoy a fire in the waterside firepit, we'll even supply the firewood! And cook on the grill by the water, yes we will have the propane tank ready! Three kayaks await your pleasure along with a private sandy beach for kids to enjoy! Maine's breathtaking coast is just 20 miles away, a short drive to Bar Harbor, explore Maine's premier Acadia national park then return to your private quiet home on the lake. No need to leave though everything you'll want is right here and if you do forget something you will be surprised at just how close to shopping and grocery stores you are. Just 10 minutes out of lake road is a local market and gas station, then another 10 minutes and you are in the heart of Bangor Brewer with lots of restaurants and shopping. And just a few minutes away, in fact, you can look down the lake, and up on the hill is the Lucerne Inn offering wonderful full meals and a seasonal food truck with outside deck seating. We as locals enjoy meals there often, then a 5-minute drive home. Fully automated backup generator, never worry about power outages any time of the year.

I cannot say enough good things about this property and host! It was perfect for me and the family members that visited during our two weeks on Phillips Lake. Wendy was so accommodating and timely with her communication. The house was spotless clean and so comfortable. It’s a fantastic house on a beautiful lake in a great location with easy access to Bangor and Ellsworth for shopping and entertainment.

This house is truly amazing and exactly as pictured. The lake is beautiful and it’s very peaceful and quiet. It’s in a fantastic location- easy to get to many of the beautiful small towns and less than a hour from Bar Harbor and Acadia. Wendy and Jeff were fantastic hosts and went above and beyond to help us enjoy our vacation.

The property was in a great location. The water was right in front of the property. Overall the property was family friendly. If you are tall, you may be challenged in the upstairs bedroom. The property was well supplied overall, however, a couple of items were disappointing. The grill had not been cleaned and was unusable from our perspective. We purchased a small charcoal grill and used that for cooking. Also, there was a mention of a firepit and firewood in the description, these were disappointing. Really no place to actually sit around a fire and comfortably make s’mores and enjoy the evening outside.

Well, it looks like we just got our first review in nearly 30 that is less than a 10/10. I guess that’s not too bad but on the few disappointing items you thought of to point out I’d like to clarify. The master bedroom that has the whole third floor has 9’ ceilings but yes on each side of the house due to code at the time the ceiling is lower on each side but this would be the first time anyone has had that concern and with so much space and ample walking around space this is the first time we have heard of this concern. In regarding the grill, well I guess as you stated it was not up to your clean standards. I check the grill each time and make sure there is plenty of propane, it seemed pretty good before you checked in. I cook for a living, and it was good enough for me. I may of just turned it on and let it burn clean, pretty easy fix instead of buying a grill or I would of gladly came over to tidy it up, we live just down the street and as with all the guests let you know if you had any concerns to let us know and we would take care of it right away. We live just down the street as we mentioned. The firepit really has me scratching my head. I built that a few years ago and is right on the water, just off the patio with plenty of outside chairs and the deck on the water is just 10’ away as shown in the pictures, not sure how we could improve that, chairs enough for eight people. There is firewood for sale along the lake and we also offer ours, we usually always let our renters know, apologies if we did not but again to find a place so close to the lake with the quality we offer is hard to find and I guess that is why we have only received 10/10 reviews. My wife had also corresponded by text and let you know to let us know if you needed anything after checking in. Thank you for your review and we will always try to improve our guests’ experience. I wish you the best in your future rentals.

Stay at Wendy’s Lakehouse

We stayed at Wendy’s Lakehouse last minute after another home we booked had to cancel our reservation as they overbooked. Well it worked out well for us because we booked Wendy’s home and it was perfect for us. There were 4 of us all adults and our 11 pound Shorkie. We had a great time, Wendy is a terrific host, she thought of everything!

Perfection

Wendy and Jeff were the best of hosts. Wendy called us to help us with directions that led us right to the house. Beautiful setting and lake views from every room. Decor was excellent and the outdoor amenities include 3 kayaks and flotation mattresses to enjoy being out on the water. They even had all the ingredients for s’mores to welcome us. Above and beyond most rentals!

Lakefront Sanctuay

The lake house was very luxurious with everything you could possibly need. It has a gourmet kitchen, kayaks and even wood for the fire pit. The beds are very comfortable and the furniture is comfortable. it’s light and airy. It’s beautifully decorated. The location is perfect, under 10 minutes to a grocery store and fine dining. It’s close to Acadia national Park. The lake is perfect for fishing and swimming and activities like paddle boarding. Jeff and Wendy were lovely and very helpful.

Lakefront Serenity

Beautiful home. The house was spotless and the layout of bedrooms & bathrooms was perfect for our family. Gorgeous kitchen and dining area on second floor. All levels have a spectacular view of the lake. The patio and dock offer a breath taking view of the lake at sunrise which is perfect to see while enjoying the first morning cup of coffee/tea. The property is about a 45 min easy ride to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Next time we will stay longer, we did not get a chance to enjoy the kayaks and fire pit. Beautiful home & accommodating hosts.

Beautiful and Quiet Retreat

The house was immaculate and very user friendly with BR’s on all three floors. Spacious kitchen and dining area on second floor with an additional kitchen area on the walk out ground floor. The lake is captivating and picturesque in the morning with a stunning sunrise view worth the trip alone. We took the kayaks out for a morning trip around the lake and enjoyed the views. We spent most of our time in Acadia and Bar Harbor but could have easily stayed put and enjoyed the house and the amenities and considered it a great vacation. Great property, one of the best we have stayed at. Thanks!

Peaceful , beautiful get away!

The house was exactly as pictured, except the view was even more beautiful in person! Quiet, peaceful lake with warm, clear water was the perfect spot for kayaking, paddle boarding and fishing. Wendy thought of everything, you really don't have to bring anything for the house. Even soap, cleaning products, tp, paper towels, wraps, everything was there. The house was very clean, beds/ pillows were comfortable, and Wendy was highly responsive. Neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. We even had a pair of loons that would hang out in front of the house. I really hope to return some day in the near future. It was my first time to the area and a perfect home base for our adventures in Bar Harbor and Acadia...definitely visit if you book this house! So incredibly beautiful!!! I fell in love with Maine! thanks for having us!!!

Lovely home in a gorgeous location

This is a wonderful house and we enjoyed our stay very much. As many people have noted, the view of the lake from almost every window is a joy. There was always something to see (or to hear, like the cry of loons at night). The house is very spacious and well laid out; we felt right at home and were comfortable throughout our visit. The kitchen is well supplied and organized and is easy to work in. The beds are excellent and there was plenty of lighting for reading or other activities in the evening. It took us a couple of days you get used to the narrow, winding road from route 1A to the house, but once we were accustomed to it it was no problem. It's easy to get to lots of great places: Blue Hill, Ellsworth, Acadia and even the Schoodic peninsula. Overall, we're glad we discovered this terrific house and plan to return.

Beautiful view

We stayed here with our 2 daughters age 5 and 7. The views from the main floor are stunning! The girls loved playing in the little beachy area and swimming in the lake. We took the kayaks out for a paddle, roasted marshmallows in the fire pit right next to the lake and loved listening to the loons while we spotted fireflies. Wendy and Jeff were wonderful hosts and very responsive. Just a heads up for families-one bedroom in on the top floor and the other is in the walk out basement. We ended up giving the kids the upstairs master and we took the basement room so we could be on the patio at night and do they weren’t tempted to go out to the lake early without us knowing. We had a great time and hope we can come back in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy

Host profile image
Wendy works at a local party event rental store in Ellsworth, just 15 minutes from the lake and Jeff is a business owner in Brewer, just 20 minutes away. We both are active and love to explore the local hiking trails, ski trips, and warm trips to the south. You will see us going by on our party boat or seadoos on warm sunny days.

Why they chose this property

This property speaks for itself. You will certainly want to return and make memories. On so many lakes the lakefront is very populated. The property is not that case. Homes are spread out nicely with plenty of privacy. You will drive on a fully paved road right to the private driveway with ample parking. You will see couples and families walking the lakeside road and enjoying the view and Maine weather daily. A walk along the road will certainly be worthwhile! And your hosts Wendy & Jeff will often be seen doing the same.

What makes this property unique

Ask us about renting our 18' party boat. We can bring it right up to your dock and a quick education of the lake and you are off enjoying a slow ride on a beautiful lake. Weather conditions will be considered when discussing rental. We want you to be safe and very happy along with keeping expenses down.
