Perfect get away!
Amazing place to re-boot. The cabin is clean and very well stocked. You rarely hear anything other than the sound of nature. Kimberly was amazing in any question we had , responding immediately. Bring you your food and stay put here to relax, reboot and re-energize here. We will be back for more than 3 nights next time. Easy drive from Bangor airport. Best vrbo experience ever.

Maryland to Maine
Cabin was better than expected. This cabin is exactly what I’m looking for when I relocate to Maine in my retirement. Beautiful location just far enough off the grid to relax from the daily grind. Kimberly was very responsive. My only regret was not meeting the Murphy’s. Seems like our styles match.

Amazing get away!
Totally private and cozy get away! The kids loved the oversized bean bag in the little time we were in the cabin. The rest was spent in the peace and tranquility of the outdoors at the cabin fishing, canoeing, kayaking to get a stuck bobber and playing games in the driveway. The boat landing not far down the road gave the kids a great place to swim and pick clams! Looking forward to our next stay!

A perfect piece of paradise.
The pictures do not do this place justice. It is quiet, beautiful and has all the comforts of home. The beds were so soft and cozy. The furnishings both inside and out were plentiful and comfortable. We kayaked, canoed and went fishing. We stayed for a full week and loved every second of it.

Peaceful Cabin
We loved our time spent at this peaceful cabin. Being able to access the water with the canoe and kayak was perfect. My teenage son was excited about this and the fishing. We enjoyed grilling out dinner on the grill and then having dinner on the patio. And the bonfire pit was perfection. This cabin has every single item you would need at a rental property. From the cabin we were able to visit Acadia and Bar Harbor, yet be able to come back to a peaceful setting.

Amazung Cabin on the Lake!
The property was just as advertised. The cabin is on a beautiful property with all the amenities you need. The host were amazing and made sure we made it safely to the property on the first night as it was late and made sure we had eveything we needed. We only spent a weekend there but plan to spend a full week next time! Also seeing a moose on the road to the cabin one night was a major plus!

Beautiful camp
I've stayed in a lot of cabins and camps in Maine and this is one of my favorites. Every luxury plus some. The beds are amazing. Every cooking utensil and cookware you would ever want. Very peaceful. Every review of this camp is spot on. I'll be returning next year. Im glad I reserved another date in August.

Hidden Gem
We had a very pleasant stay. The Murphys were exactly what you want in a host. They were very helpful. The ATV trails are right at the end of the driveway. The cabin was extremely comfortable. The woodstove really made the difference after riding in a cold rain all day. Everything was well stocked. Id give 6 stars if I was able to.
