My aunt and uncle from Florida and my mom and I stayed a week at the cabin. I cannot stress enough that if you want to experience the beauty of Maine you HAVE to stay here. The lake was breathtaking, the cabin was cozy and had absolutely everything we needed including a canoe and two kayaks which we used daily. My uncle fished daily as well. Besides all of that, the location is amazing for visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia without dealing with the crowds and prices. I also hiked with my dogs multiple times in the wildlife conservation area close by. The hosts are a phone call away at all times and we could tell they loved the area and cabin as much as we did. All of these things made this hands down one of the best vacations we have taken.

Our family had a wonderful vacation at the Alley Cabin. Our biggest surprise was how peaceful it was. Every morning we woke up and had our coffee sitting on the porch with a perfect view of the pond. We saw bald eagles, loons, ducks along with all other kinds of wildlife. The cabin was perfectly suited for our family of 5, plenty of beds to go around. The Alley Cabin had canoes and kayaks so we could go out and explore the entire pond. The first morning my wife and I saw a bald eagle perched on a rock as we drifted by in the kayak. Just a beautiful peaceful place that we would love to visit again. We also rented a pontoon boat from Port Harbor Marine. The boat really gave us full access to the pond to fish, cruise around and just anchor and swim. Tim checked in with us on the first day to make sure we found the cabin because it's really tucked back in the woods away from any paved roads. He also checked in with us to see if we had everything we needed and to see if we were enjoying our stay. Such a gracious host that we knew was only a text or call away if we needed him. This was a 5 star experience that my family and I will have memories of forever! A big thanks to the Alleys! -The Roche Family

Property was in great location. Short drive to explore bar harbor and acadia. This house has the best waterfront on georges pond! Step to the lake right from the front porch. Great fishing and kayaking lake! Only thing i would change is the clutter in house, storage area under stairs was full of stuff and empty boxes. Could have used that area for more food/paper good storage. Other than that, house was great!

We booked our family vacation to celebrate our youngest child's high school graduation. Even with rain and fog for most of the week we had a great time kayaking, fishing, exploring Bar Harbor and Ellsworth, and hiking in Acadia. The cabin was a little funky when we arrived, but we opened the windows and knocked down some cobwebs and enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room for the 7 of us and lots to do.

Private, right on the pond, kayaks included. While we enjoyed the privacy, this is a great place for families in the warmer months. No frills, but everything you need is included. Our three little dogs loved being able to roam on the beach and explore. The loons could be heard in the evening, and four of them visited the morning we were leaving. We had a nice relaxing week, thank you.

This was a perfect place if you're looking for a quiet place to unwind. The lake view is beautiful and peaceful. Unfortunately it was a bit too chilly while we were there to go out on the lake, but appreciate the water crafts are available if the weather cooperates. The place is a little difficult to find, especially if you're arriving at night, so would recommend getting there during daylight if possible. Tim was able to walk us through getting there pretty easily though. One note for those visiting in colder weather, it does get chilly in the cabin, space heaters and blankets are provided, but would recommend bringing some warm clothes to hang around in! Overall a great experience!
