Wonderful Vacation Spot
A beautiful house on the lake. We really enjoyed our time kayaking and fishing on the lake. The property is just as it was described. I would highly recommend this property if you are looking for a quiet spot to get away and relax.

Family trip to Acadia in June
Our family of 5 + grandparents have never been to this region. I messaged the property owner via Vrbo but received no response. I contacted Vacasa customer support and received partial answers to questions. When I booked the property, it was listed to fit 8 ppl, but upon arrival, we found out there was no sofa bed. We received a $25/night reimbursement for the inconvenience. The overgrown bushes around the path to the main entrance made it tricky for us to bring our belongings into the house. The trees in the backyard are starting to cover the lake view from the living room and dining area. We didn't use the canoes because of how difficult it would have been to move them into the water through a narrow path. The spacious and comfortable house had linens, towels, bathroom essentials (soap, shampoo, and conditioner), kitchen essentials (salt, pepper, oil, soy sauce, hot chocolate, tea, coffee, sugar, paper products, and sandwich bags) games, puzzles, legos, books, standing fans, and ceiling fans. We enjoyed cool evenings/mornings during our stay, but the house can warm up on hot and humid days. We brought our Apple TV because we weren't sure if the house had a Roku system or a smart TV for us to stream. I contacted guest service to learn about the check-out procedure (a list of instructions would easily help guests out). This property is located in a very quiet and secluded area with very comfortable rooms and I would stay in this house again.

I would book this home again. It was beautiful, clean, plenty of room and we had all the necessary items for a comfortable 4 days. It was a quick walk down a beautiful path to get to green lake. This lake is clear, clean, and the area quiet. We were protected from the wind and couldn’t see any neighbors. Very private for swimming and sunbathing. We sat out on the dock every night to watch the sunset, so pretty. We used the kayaks and water toys at the house and didn’t turn the tv on once! We have teenagers so that should tell you how awesome this place is. So much more to explore, sad we had to leave. Ellsworth was maybe 15 minutes away for groceries or eating out. I read a review that docked stars because it was hard to find. Not true if you follow your gps. I also saw a review that docked stars because they couldn’t figure out the keypad to open the door, but they were using the wrong one! The keypad is on the deadbolt, easy peasy putting the code in, no issues.

Ok, but needs upkeep
You can tell this place used to be good, but it is going downhill rapidly and needs upkeep. Location is a bit difficult to find initially (Google has Gator Way wrong) and roads a bit sketchy to get in. The place itself is very dated. TV didn't function properly. Deck railings and part of the dock were loose and need to be secured. Couch is terrible and needs replaced. Basement is NOT available, so the listing is inaccurate there. Grill out of propane. Place is getting overgrown with trees and plants. Walk to the lake is downhill a bit and through some trees. No AC was known going in, at least they have several fans to make it more tolerable. Overall OK stay but wouldn't return.

October stay close to Acadia
The property was perfect for a several day trip to Acadia. We were two couples and kids and there was room enough for everybody. Everything was clean and all the expected amenities were there and great. The only negative for us was the the downstairs bed was super soft and uncomfortable - but I also realize that's a subjective thing. Some people like soft beds. We didn't get to use the kayak or canoe cos it was too cold but they had all their paddles and looked like they would have been fun to go out on.

Great house by the lake
Big 3-stories house in the forest and by the lake. Large rooms and kitchen. Plenty supplies. We are a group of 5 friends really enjoyed it. The only thing is the direction. Since it’s in the woods GPS stops by the mailbox by roadside which is still some distance away and not easy to find. The sign to the house is faded and not easy to find. So be sure to get there before dark. Also the lower level of the house is not available for guests until 2023 but it is not mentioned on the listing.

Great lakeside house with eat-in screened porch
This house over-delivered for us. Great well appointed kitchen and huge dining and living room areas were great. Big screened porch with dining table was awesome! Can’t see any neighbors! Plenty of room for large families. Definitely will return.

Beautiful view
The view was beautiful and access to the lake was great. The canoe and kayaks were nice and plenty of life jackets were provided. The cabin is a bit remote and finding our way in somewhat challenging at first. We had a local family member join us for dinner and had to meet and lead him in. That being said there was very little traffic on the dirt road in the week we were there we never met another car on the narrow part of the road. The bedrooms on the first and second floor were nice and comfortable. All utensils, cookware, etc were available to make meal preparation at the cabin easy. The screened in porch was great on the days the mosquitoes were more prevalent. The basement had a nasty smell on arrival. After emptying the dehumidifier it was somewhat improved, but never completely cleared, In addition the basement was cold and despite being told several times that we would hear from the local team, we never heard from anyone locally. Overall we enjoyed the trip. We had three generations staying together on this trip, which made having the separate sleeping spaces desirable.

Remote lakeside cabin
Lovely setting in a beautiful lake. Very remote and hard to find in dark. Amenities were not up to par. Couldn’t get tv to work; no heat in basement; stairs to basement were very steep; washing machine funky; only two of the beds was sufficient for a full size adult. Lovely setting.

House on the lake
House was nice, needed some minor repairs, but overall - we had a very good time there. Secluded area, lots of privacy, beautiful lake, we had kayaks, canoe and paddle board available for our use. There was everything that we needed. Would really recommend the house who wants privacy, piece and gorgeous views!

Nice but a little disappointed
The property was beautiful and location on the lake was great. I was disappointed with a few things at the property. The first and most noticeable was the dock or lack there of. If you review the listing it clearly shows a nice long dock going out onto the lake. When we arrived the dock was in pieces sitting on the first section. It was clearly pulled up for the winter and not yet put back together. Seeing how we went a full week after memorial weekend, June 5-12 the dock should have been put back in place. The primary reason we picked this property was the dock and the ability to swim and kayak off it. The property manager was able to come by the next day and move some of the decking off to the side but it was much to short to be safely used with all the rocks next to shore. We were told the owner was supposed to have it installed that weekend which it never was. Then some minor issues such as lack of hot water in the upstairs shower, no garbage pick up (we had to drop off and pay at local dump), and ants in the kitchen. I get with a house in the woods ants will be a problem but it was a little disturbing to see them every few minutes in the kitchen. Taking the trash to the dump was not really an issue but I wish it would have stated that in the listing. The property itself is very pretty and if the dock was in place the other things would not have been such a big issue. The combination of all the above made it less enjoyable then it could have.

The house is beautifully sited on a clean, quiet lake. No neighbors can be seen. Just what we needed. The house itself could use some updates, particularly one bathroom. The lower-level was quite musty. It was reasonably equipped.
