Nice Calm Stay

My family and I truly enjoyed ourselves. Such easy access to the water. We brought one more two person kayak so all four of us could go out on the water together. The loons were amazing, eagles, king fisher, so much to see and enjoy. We may have been lucky with a particularly quiet neighbor week and not too hot temperatures even for July. We loved the peace and quiet, thanks so much.

We had a fantastic vacation here! The beach was perfect for our three kids to swim, and the lake was beautiful—much quieter than we expected. We spent a lot of time swimming, fishing, and even frogging, which made for some great family memories.The house itself met all of our needs and comfortably fit our family of five. We especially appreciated the newer Weber grill—it was clean and perfect for grilling dinners.That said, the house could benefit from a deeper cleaning and a little handyman attention to a few small details. The water at the fixtures wasn’t the best, but it worked fine for a camp.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would come back without hesitation!

We loved carefree point!! It was rustic enough to feel unplugged, but provided all the amenities needed for our weekend stay! We enjoyed every minute! Coffee by a morning fire, overlooking that beautiful lake, was my favorite part! We will definitely be back, and highly recommend this beautiful spot!

Perfect Location

The lakefront was totally beautiful. Only 20 minutes to Ellsworth where you can get whatever you need, or go out to eat. Only 40 minutes to Acadia for some amazing hikes. It is a cabin so don't expect a luxury hotel, but it was very comfortable.

Lovely quiet get away

We were quite surprised by how far back the cabin was nestled in the beautiful Maine woods. It was a cute little cabin with running water and warm showers but the best part was the gorgeous lake just steps away with its own little beach front. We enjoyed days of swimming, fishing, and kayaking. I would recommend this cabin to anyone and hope to stay again!

Lovely weekend

We had a lovely small family weekend at Carefree Point. The owners were around and made themselves available to be helpful and also ensured that we had sufficient privacy and that we enjoyed our time. The home is beautifully simple and rustic with a slight retro flair. The beach front and the lake are glorious. We had all that we needed and really loved our time. Can't wait to return!

Quiet and Convenient!

We loved this cabin for our small family of 3. It was cozy and clean, but what stood out the most was the quiet surroundings and awesome waterfront! Our 2 year old loved walking around the cabin and along the beach and was able to do so freely without getting tripped up. The cabin had everything we needed to cook our own meals and be quite comfortable. We will definitely be visiting again!

Peaceful

This camp certainly was peaceful, being somewhat off the beaten path. Most everything we needed was there. There was heat for the cooler nights. The kitchen had all we needed to cook meals. Good location to visit other areas like Bangor or Bar Harbor. The town of Ellsworth had restaurants like Finn's and a stop at Momo's cheesecakes was very interesting.

Family Getaway

Our family of four (4 and 3 year olds) loved our time at Carefree Point. The cabin was cozy and it felt like you were at your own family’s lake cabin. The water access is beautiful and the lake was so warm. Our kids enjoyed fishing off the dock, swimming, and riding in the kayaks. The cabin is the perfect location for those looking to spend some time in Acadia but adventure beyond as well. We spent our mornings in the park hiking and afternoons and evenings at the cabin swimming and relaxing. This is definitely on our “return to” list!

It's all about the lake.

Cabin needs cleaning/dusting and a new refrigerator. Maybe some reading lamps. Otherwise, linens and towels are wonderful and bathroom is very clean. But it's all about the lake. A short walk and you're on the beach which is where we were most of the time. Had a good time.
