Great view of the pond.... But,
The kitchen was inadequate as stated in previous reviews. The management didn't take previous reviews seriously. The steps were so steep to the second floor that my sister had to sleep on the sofa for a week.
Lovely lakeside rental with ample room to enjoy the beautiful views. It was clean and easy to access. My one complaint was the insufficient kitchen wares for cooking: the rental was reserved for 6 people but didn't have enough silverware, plates, and cups for all of us.

Beautiful view
We had a great time! There is a challenging staircase to upper bedrooms. A couple of issues were quickly & satisfactorily resolved by the property manager. Nice fire pit. SUP on the pond was peaceful. Basic kitchen supplies.

Quintessential Maine Lake House
We couldn’t have imagined a better location and house for our family vacation and as a home base for day trips to Acadia National Park. Perched above a picture perfect Maine lake with easy access to walk down the stairs to paddle board and kayak, the cabin provided a place for us to relax and recharge and just chill with a beautiful view. Inside the cabin was cozy and comfortable with an ample kitchen and multiple hangout spots. Great place!
