An excellent experience all around. Just as described, and then some as every time you turn the corner you discover something new. This family home is truly special and filled with of character, charm, personal touches - instantly felt at home. Had everything we needed to be comfortabl, whether to to venture out on the pond or be cozy next to the fireplace on a rainy looking out at the pond. It’s truly peaceful and resets your soul- don’t think twice about booking this special place.

We greatly enjoyed the stay at the cabin while visiting Maine. Everything needed for a wonderful stay. Not too far from vacation destinations. If you want to rewind and relax this is the place.

Amazing Property

Tucked away in the woods with a lake as your backyard need I say more. Lots of peace and quiet as well as wildlife. Would definitely stay here again. The house was clean and had everything we needed to make the stay enjoyable.

What a glorious place!

My kids and I arrived at Innisfree and were immediately smitten. It is a quintessential Maine camp that exudes coziness and peacefulness...the type of place I dream of owning myself one day! We are so grateful to have spent time here and hope to return someday.

Beautiful, clean fully equipped house on a lovely lake (a pond only in Maine). One of the nicest we have stayed at, over the decades we have rented a vacation home. Figuring out how we can make it back next year

Peaceful waterfront log home.

Ted has a wonderful spot on Jacob Buck Pond and we were very thankful to find it. Ted went out of his way to make our stay most enjoyable. Supplies were bountiful and it was everything one could expect for a stay in the Maine woods, including a fireplace, fire pit and water craft. Would love to make this a yearly event.

Quiet Pond, Comfy Cabin, Great Location

We had a wonderful stay at Innisfree Cabin. The pond is very quiet and peaceful with the soothing nightly sound of the loons. The cabin is very comfortable, homey, and had all the necessary amenities. The kitchen/living room layout is great for family gatherings and we enjoyed listening to music while cooking dinner together. The location is perfect for traveling to Bangor, Ellsworth, and Acadia National Park - never too far away. Overall our stay was relaxing and rejuvenating. We are already missing Maine!

We will be back!

We loved Ted’s cottage and easily settled in and felt at home for the week. When we had a question Ted responded quickly. The kitchen is well equipped. We loved his book collection and read some. Playing games at the table in the evening was extra enjoyable because of the loon calls. The place is obviously cleaned regularly; the kitchen and bathrooms were excellent.

An Idyllic Retreat with Wonderful Hosts

I can't overstate what a wonderful time we had at Ted's cabin on Jacob Buck Pond. The house was beautifully maintained and had a gorgeous view. The pond was clear and perfect for swimming--private, too! Although my teen son and I mainly just stayed at the cabin, playing board games, swimming, and reading--and did not avail ourselves of all the experiences the area has to offer--we easily could have. Ted provides a wealth of recommendations for restaurants, hikes, and local attractions, as well as a host of guidebooks. There are also kayaks and canoes available for use. We definitely hope to go back next summer!

My Bucket List Maine Woods Holiday

Just returned to AZ from my stay at the Gup Family log cabin/home in Bucksport. Have always wanted to spend at least some time in the North Woods in Autumn, smelling the Balsam Fir Forest, admiring the almost-miraculous Fall colors, and seeing some of the birds that I'm barely acquainted with here. My stay at Innisfree more than fulfilled all my hopes and expectations! Perfectly located, private, surrounded by forest, clean, comfortable and lovely - really the whole package! The Gups were very helpful and solicitous, with great directions and local insights. At my age, I was extremely lucky to have stumbled into such a perfect location to have experienced my Bucket List Holiday in the Maine North Woods!

Innisfree wonderful!

Beautiful house on a serene pond. It was spotlessly clean, beds were comfy, and the amenities were more than we expected. We couldn’t have been more comfortable. We hated to leave and hope to return. It was convenient to the Penobscot peninsula, Acadia National Park and Schoodic Peninsula, and mid-coast Maine. Belfast and the Farmer’s Market were a great way to spend a Saturday. We have stayed closer to Acadia in other years and are glad we headed a little south this time. Ted, home owner, was a delight to communicate with. We had zero issues and check-in was seamless and easy. Overall, we cannot say enough good about this property. Thank you, Ted and family!

Beautiful cabin

My husband and I had a wonderful experience staying at this beautiful, well-stocked home. We've been up to Maine several times and this was our favorite time yet, mostly because we so enjoyed our time here. Ted was a fantastic host, very communicative and kind. We will always remember our time here and would love to stay again one day!

Magical location

Thank you to Ted Gup for allowing us to rent his beautiful home. Peaceful serene setting with everything we needed for a wonderful week. Ted was the most personable host I’ve ever come across. Gave us great information about the area, history and must do ‘s. After speaking with him, reading one of his books, and staying in his home I feel like he is a family friend. Thank you Ted:)
