I am so impressed at this property! It’s so serene and private. The checkin/out instructions, communication and contract were so thorough and appreciated. Waking up to the view of the lake every day has us feeling so restored. This property turned me into a morning person! I was so excited to get out in the kayaks every day.
If you’re a light sleeper, bring earplugs due to the heating unit in the main bedroom closet going on and off, but it didn’t bother us at all.
I really appreciated the little touches too, like the dimming lights, the glider chair, the Keurig, the chairs outdoors, and in particular the memory book that has tips and fave activities from past guests. We read through it on our first night and that helped us decide what to do.
Best. VRBO. Stay. Ever. Thank you, Sheree!

If I were describe Sheree's beautiful cabin in two words it would be 'Dream Home'. This stunning property is located next to Branch Lake; from the charming details to the large windows with scenic views it was nothing short of amazing! Our stay was absolutely wonderful, I hope to return sometime soon!

Flat rock was a wonderful stay in a cozy camp with an eclectic feel, like grandmas house but on a lake in Maine. Well-stocked kitchen and enough space to spread out for 4-6 people. We visited relatives in Ellsworth so the location was perfect, close to family and Acadia national park.

We had a great experience. The house was beautiful and so well equipped, much better than other houses we've stayed at. The kitchen was well stocked, and we loved that there was plenty of games, puzzles, and books available. There was plenty of chairs to take out to the rocks and enjoy the lake. It was so peaceful there, and we really enjoyed our stay.

A perfect girls getaway! Plenty of room…so nice to sit out on the rocks early in the morning and to watch the sunsets. Would love to stay here again sometime!!

We very much enjoyed our stay! The cottage had a rustic summer cottage feel, but we were in no way roughing it and was exactly what we look for when vacationing this time of year. Quiet, peaceful, away from it all but close enough to "civilization" to explore and enjoy all that Bar Harbor and Downeast Maine have to offer.
The water pressure in the master shower was amazing and the master bed was pretty comfortable. The location and view are to die for! The lack of light pollution made for the perfect conditions to sit out by the lake in our reclining lounge chairs we brought with us and watch for meteors (I think we saw about 8!).
This is definitely a place we would love to come back and stay when we have more time.
Thank you for the refreshing get away!

Loved loved our stay at Flatrock. The house has a sweet story of how it has been in the family since 1940. What marvelous updates that have been done to the cabin. It was so comfortable and a great place to hang out. The scenery y was unbelievable between the fall leaves, the sunset and the blueberry fields and apple orchards. Great place to run on the country roads.

So happy we chose this for our visit to Bar Harbor! After busy days shopping or hiking in Acadia, this was the perfect relaxing retreat to come home to! It’s beautifully done on the inside with everything you might need, and absolutely beautiful views of the lake from throughout. I can only imagine the fun this place would be in the summer months swimming, boating and fishing! The owner was thoughtful and attentive. If you’re looking for a great place, don’t hesitate!

We loved our stay at flat rock! What you see in the pictures is what you get in person. View of the lake was amazing from our house. Sheree was great to communicate with. Always a quick response from her! Their home was nice and cozy, clean and well stocked for your needs! It was close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, about a forty minute drive. Would definitely stay here again when we venture back to Maine!!!

Renting this property was easy and painless. The process was straightforward. I had questions for the hosts and they answered them within a day. I would highly recommend this spot and would go back in a heart beat. It was wonderful!

If you enjoy remote locations, blueberry fields and diverse sunsets, this is the rental for you! The owners care for this home and it shows, it’s camp and a comfortable one! We had 6 people total for half the rental and were not on top of eachother. It’s absolutely magical for kids! A great fishing spot too! We’d not only recommend but love to return.

This was one of the best family vacations we have ever taken and could not have asked for a better host and a better place to stay!! Sheree was extremely attentive and responsive to every question I had prior to the trip, as I was doing a lot of planning in preparation for our visits to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. As soon as we got to Flat Rocks my husband said to me, "this is spectacular, great job honey!" The cabin is absolutely beautiful in all of it's touches and decor with stained glass and woodwork and most importantly those windows overlooking the lake!! The flat rocks are just feet away and was the highlight of this cabin, sometimes the water was still and serene and sometimes the the water would lap onto the rocks and make the most soothing effect as you sipped coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. Our boys (12 and 14) loved kayaking, wading, and fishing here! They also loved having separate bedrooms! This cabin and location is tucked away under the trees and provided us so much peace and quiet amongst the beautiful surroundings, at times it felt like we were the only ones there, but yet we were close enough to all the necessities. Flat rocks was our favorite part of the trip to just enjoy the solitude and fully relax looking out onto the lake listening to the sounds of nature.
We enjoyed day trips to Bar Harbor, Winter Harbor, ANP where we hiked, played at Sand Beach, took a fabulous Nature Cruise to see puffins, seals and lighthouses, shopped, and ate. We enjoyed lobster rolls and blueberry pies, the best ever! In the evening it was just so relaxing to come back to the cabin and unwind from a full day and have the lake to enjoy, specifically those sunsets!! They are breathtaking! The kitchen has everything you need to cook and the cabin is super clean and very well organized.
The town of Ellsworth was just a hop, skip and a jump away and was perfect for groceries, exploring antiques, and eating! The Steamy Buddha Cafe was quaint and so delicious!! Get the Buddha BLT and homemade gazpacho (soup of the day)!!
It was hard to leave this beautiful cabin and lake and we all agreed we would love to come back! Thank you Sheree for making our first family trip to Maine so memorable and wonderful!!

A little bit of heaven with a million dollar view
We enjoyed our stay at Flat Rock on Branch lake so much that we already booked for next summer! Beautiful camp modernized with attention to detail and lovely view of the lake from almost every window. The most relaxing vacation we've had in a long time watching beautiful sunrises on flat rock with morning coffee and enjoying lovely sunsets with an adult beverage. The loons were also a plus!

Perfect. Peaceful. Thoughtfully furnished. Comfortable!
I can't say enough good things. We drove up from NYS and was looking forward to a relaxing few days in a cute home. Well, our expectations were exceeded! The home was beautiful, well provisioned, and so comfortable. The sheets and towels were so luxurious and everything was spotless. We love the location on the lake, so private! and yet so close to everything we needed. We can't wait to come back for a longer time next time! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home.

Wonderful anniversary trip
The property was beautiful! So much more than a “cabin in the woods”. The bed was luxurious, the kitchen was equipped with all the comforts of home (with the possible exception of a dish washer-which makes perfect sense and was not an issue). The lake was magnificent, the home was peaceful and the location was perfect at about equidistant to Bangor and Bar Harbor. Sheree and Jason were great hosts-very considerate and easy to reach and talk to. Highly recommended; we can’t wait to go back!

Tucked away in the trees with a very short walk to the flat Rock and open view of the lake...this house did not disappoint. We traveled around to a fee places to hike and the drives weren't terrible at all. The master bedroom with the wrap around windows was our favorite part....also the bed was extremely comfortable!
Definitely plan to go back

Clean and cozy cabin in a storybook forest-like setting (even saw a fox hunting on our first morning as well as beautiful mushrooms all around). Spent mornings on Flat Rock with a cup of coffee observing the beautiful fall foliage mirrored on the lake and returned at night for stargazing. The location was in close proximity to the National Park as well as beautiful stops nearby, such as the blueberry barrens, apple orchards, and a river on the drive into town. This cabin as well as its surroundings was one of the most spectacular places we've stayed at!

A perfect stay!
My parents, niece and I are just returning from our Flat Rocks stay. It was exactly what we were looking for as a home base while exploring Acadia. The woodwork, decoration, stained glass and tree make this cabin stand out as beautiful. It was exceptionally clean, well stocked and easy to communicate with owners. The highlight was the rocks by the lake, where we enjoyed lake views and sunsets and quiet family times. Lots of special touches here and would love to one day return!!

Fall Getaway and Wedding
Our trip to Maine was for a wedding, so we decided to make the trip into a vacation before the wedding.. There were 6 adults that stayed in the cabin. We had plenty of room for everyone. We cooked several meals in the cabin and had everything we needed to cook with. We absolutely loved the views from the cabin, sitting on flat rock and listening to the loons. We went to the apple orchard down the road, explored Bar Harbor and Acadia. Are only regret was that we had to leave this gorgeous place. We would love to visit again!

We could not have loved this first family vacation to Maine any more!! Flat Rocks is simply magical and our children had a blast wading in the water, kayaking, and fishing every day rain or shine! Our day trips to Acadia and Bar Harbor were beautiful and we really enjoyed the town of Ellsworth too (Morton Moo’s, the Rock and Art Shop, and Margaritas to name a few).
Sheree was awesome to work with and the camp had everything we needed just like home. Thank you again so much for sharing this beautiful retreat with our family. We hope to be back!!
