A lovely week in a very quiet setting, perfect for us and our 4 legged friends.

A quiet, secluded spot in the woods. Great place to unplug and get away from the world. The lake is peaceful, inviting, and virtually untouched - hardly any traffic at all. We spent days using the kayaks included by Linda! Plan ahead, as the final journey to the cabin does take a bit of time and you won't want to be running out to grab anything.
If you do want to travel to Acadia/Mount Desert Island, it's a little over an hour. We made two trips over there, and just planned everything to fill up the entire day out.
5.0
The location is great, yards from the lake and a fire pit right in front. A very rustic atmosphere where one can chill out and decompress from every day life in a city. It's far enough off the beaten path to see a moose swimming( I did early one morning), but only 15 or so miles to town to get anything one might need.
Linda is very nice and thorough checking to ensure one knows everything that might be needed, it's well stocked.
A great place to saty.

From start to finish. Linda is an amazing host. The property is just beautiful. If you are wanting to be in Maine then this is EXACTLY where you are looking to stay. Secluded oasis that's got the views you desire. Thank you Linda for making our stay so perfect.

This is a very nice cabin with more than you need to cook gourmet meals and also enjoy nature! Linda is an awesome host. The property was so clean for a cabin in the middle of the woods. Linda provides so much. There are plentiful spices, bowls, pots, baking pans, everything! We especially enjoyed all of the outdoor seating and nice fire pit. The enclosed porch is perfect if the weather is not cooperative. There are games galore to amuse everyone if you are cabinbound. The views of the lake are beautiful! There are kayaks, life vests, and a canoe for use. The night sky is like a planetarium! I highly recommend Linda’s wonderful place if you enjoy the outdoors! I hope so much to return next year. Please note that is a ways away from everything, but that was perfect for us. We still went to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and to many places for lobster. Linda gives you the lowdown on where to get gas, shop and get the best hand cut steaks….

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was everything we'd hoped for and more. Great view and easy access to Graham Lake from the cabin. I went kayaking every morning and photographed many Bald Eages, Ospreys, Great Egrets, Wood Ducks, Mallards, Greater Yellowlegs, Least Sandpipers, Loons, and more. Lake water was way down this year but still very accessible.

The cabin was great. Linda keeps it clean and stocked well. We enjoyed having fires in the pit as we watched the colors of the sunset. Unfortunately the level of the lake was quite low and not dimmable from the property. Though we did enjoy utilizing the kayaks that were provided and the fishing was great! The only tough part was the drive down the logging road to the cabin.
5.0
The camp is so quiet, there are just a couple of neighbors, but they are out of view and quiet. The lake is lovely to view and kayak.

Thank you Linda for sharing your wonderful cabin. It’s in a beautiful, secluded lakeside setting. The cabin is well maintained and very cozy with everything you need.
Linda is a great host who is very responsive and resourceful.
My family, including our golden doodle, enjoyed every minute. We would like to come back again in the near future.

Thanks Linda for the use of your wonderful cabin in the woods - my wife, I , and our old gal lab truly enjoyed the peaceful setting without the heavy industrial noises of everyday life

Although the road to the cabin is long, it is worth the drive. The cabin is well maintained and comfortable. The setting is fantastic!! The cabin is surrounded by a large grass yard that is broken up by mature trees. There are so many places to sit and relax, to take in the beauty of this place set on the edge of a large lake. It was so peaceful during our stay. Our visit was timed to enjoy the peak of autumn colors and we were not disappointed! The cabin has a fully equipped kitchen and an abundance of books, games, puzzles, and movies. Bring your family or come as a couple seeking solitude.
Linda is an exceptional hostess. Her directions and instructions were very useful.

Our vacation started when we saw a moose on the long dirt road to the cabin. We knew then it was going to be a special week.
Linda met us when we arrived and showed us how everything works, made sure we had everything we needed and she was on her way.
First: the outside. The property is beautiful and the quietest place I’ve ever been. It’s 3 miles down a dirt road through the woods, so there’s no cars, no people, no noise.
There’s a hammock, some lounge chairs and plenty of chairs around the fire pit on the expansive lawn. I loved just sitting out there watching the birds during the day and the stars at night. We saw an eagle, an owl, and a road runner! We enjoyed the kayaks and fishing in the canoe. We only saw 2 boats the entire week. It felt like we had the river to ourselves.
Inside: The cabin is very warm, inviting and very clean. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with every tool you can imagine. The living room has tons of books and games for adults and kids, and even toys for the dog!
My husband and teen son loved it so much they’re already asking when we can go back.

We stayed at the cabin for a week in August 2021. The photos do not do the place justice; the cabin is clean, comfortable and well-equipped. The lawn and lakefront are beautiful and we spent a lot of time relaxing at the fire pit. We also used the kayaks and canoes to explore the lake. The lake is very quiet with very little boat traffic. Our kids enjoyed playing on the beach, swimming and fishing. The lake itself is quite murky with pondweed and a squishy, clay bottom which can be a little unpleasant underfoot but we were still able to enjoy it. Location is very quiet and down a long unpaved road. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet and sense of isolation as well as stargazing at night. The host Linda was very welcoming and informative without being intrusive. Cabin is highly recommended for a quiet, comfortable, off the beaten track vacation.

We had just drove 7 hours and wanted to walk our dogs so that they could go potty and we wanted to unload our truck and relax but the owner was there ( in the 15 years that we've been staying in ME that has never happened before, all owners have just left us directions to the TV etc) I found it unnecessary, intrusive and inappropriate! Our poor dogs had to stay in the truck for 35 minutes while she showed us around and telling us the dog's and don't's. I found her snarky and insulted our intelligence ( for example by asking us if we knew how to use a gas stove!) Before she left she said that she would be back during the week to do some gardening ( there were no gardens to tend to) Again that was very intrusive and an invasion of our privacy when we want to relax on our vacation ( again in 15 years never had this experience!) I mentioned the situation to my dad who owns 2 properties in NJ and he said that her behavior was intrusive, inappropriate and that she was being nosy! The running joke was did she show up today? Thankfully she did not show up HOWEVER on our 2nd day she called at 9 am and told us ( not asked) that a neighbor would be over to borrow a Lobster pot ( now if you know anything about ME everyone whether you live there or own a rental property all own a Lobster pot!) So that was very strange and again intrusive. On the 3rd day I was waiting outside for my husband ( we were going to town) and the neighbor came down the road on a tractor took one look at me and then turned around!! Again intrusive and very very creepy! It was unsettling! Now about the cabin, the ceiling was not finished and the floor was plywood painted an ugly green. The owner owns 340 acres and has more than one property I believe that she can afford to finish the ceiling and put a proper floor in. My parents would never have renters in an unfinished home, it's embarrassing! The hand soap in the kitchen was pure water ( again I think she can afford soap with all that she owns!) There were 3 table clothes on the table, the first 2 were fine ( one plastic and one cloth) but underneath the cloth was another cloth and it was really ripped so I'm not clear as to why it was there and it was unsightly! There was piles of junk in the yard ( I have pictures) there were old flip flops underneath the stairs leading into the cabin! There was a Pepsi can hanging from a tree. My husband said it could be a bird feeder ( I'm not sure but it was unsightly and I think she can afford

I've stayed at a few camps in Maine but this was by far the cleanest and most equipped. Everything you could possibly need in the kitchen including a huge lobster pot as well as coffee maker, full sized fridge, dishwasher, washer and dryer. WiFi that actually works as well as multuliple TV's and DVD players. This is the first camp I've seen with air conditioning and we used it every day as it was particularly hot during our one week stay.
We also appreciated the many kayak's and canoe as well as the fully equipped fire pit and fantastic screeded-in porch.
The property is beautiful and much bigger than pics can show.
Linda made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive and knew everything we asked about Acadia National Park and the surrounding area.
Overall this was a fantastic property with an owner who cares.

Our week in Maine was just what we needed! Linda was the perfect host and really has everything you need right at the cabin. The cabin and property were beautiful and well kept. My favorite spots were sitting around the fire pit and the screened porch! Our dogs really loved the open spaces to run around! We will definitely be looking to stay here again!

This was the best rental property stayed at through home rental/timeshare ever! The location was quiet, peaceful, yet close enough to the nearby towns of Ellsworth, Bucksport and Bar Harbor area to visit. Linda was an exceptional host and provided a clean, well equipped/stocked place to stay. We are looking forward to hopefully return next year!

Exactly what we were looking for as a quiet, secluded get away place in natural ambience. Lots of activities available on the lake and Linda provided great resources for local area entertainment. Accessible to Acadia National Park. Loved the fire circle at night under the Milky Way! Will return!

The property was well maintained as well as the cabin. Everything was clean, simple & with the right amount of amenities. The washing machine was a big plus!!! Linda is a very kind & considerate person. She had great suggestions about where to eat & what do do. The natural woodsy environment was exactly what we needed to get away from the hustle & bustle of NY living. It was so refreshing to see our kids go down to the lake each morning & go fishing instead of watching TV or playing on devices. We absolutely love this cabin & can’t wait to go again! Oh the hummingbirds! We miss them so much! Thank you Linda!

Was a peaceful stay. Great place to retreat to from the days trek. Could not have asked for a more perfect vacation. Thanks so much!

This place is a gem. Immediately upon exiting the car, the scent of pine melts away your stress. The view of the lake is beautiful, and sitting on the front porch drinking morning coffee is the best part. The cabin itself is very clean, comfortable and extremely well-stocked with nearly any item you need. Just bring your clothes and groceries, and you are good to go. The cabin is secluded and the property is extremely quiet. The stars on a clear night are amazing. The owner is nearby but out-of-sight from the cabin and very kind and accommodating to recommend restaurants/activities/directions. The property is about an hour from Acadia National Park. Would highly recommend this property.

We had a great time at this cabin. The description was entirely accurate and the cabin was better equipped than we expected. We cooked all our meals at the cabin and the kitchen had everything we needed except of course the food. Linda our host was friendly and helpful but not intrusive. We had a great time paddling the provided kayaks along with our own and had a great time catching multiple species of fish including bass, pickerel and white perch. Pay attention to the description of the driveway. A car with low ground clearance wouldn't do well but we did fine in our Suburban. The cabin was very clean and tidy on our arrival. The beds were comfortable and there was a near constant breeze off the lake. The bugs were fierce in the evening but the enclosed porch provided a great place to have dinner and look out over the lake.

This was a beautiful property that is exactly what we were looking for to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Linda was extremely helpful long before we got there (she is very clear about what the property is and isn't, so there shouldn't be any surprises) and once we arrived. She is fully available if or when you need her, but invisible if you don't. She also has great recommendations for local attractions and restaurants. Having kayaks and a canoe available for use was terrific and the porch has an amazing view of the lake. The cottage was stocked with all the things we needed and was very clean. As others have stated, the drive to the cottage is long, but the seclusion was worth it. We would definitely stay here again!

Loved our stay in this fabulous cabin. Our host, Linda, met and exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed visiting every place she recommended in the area. The cabin had everything you needed from the kitchen to the bathroom. Very comfortable beds. Beautiful place. Our children spent a part of every day enjoying the lake and the kayaks provided. There is no better way to start the day than with early morning coffee on the dock. Would recommend staying here and would love a return visit.
