We had a very nice stay here. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Easy parking, very easy to check in, very easy to check out. Comfortable beds. Beautiful view of the lake from the living room.

Needs a lot of improvements.

House review The house was very clean, the best we ever rented in the last 20 years. However the house had problems. Of the five living room windows facing west to the lake, only one opened, and it was only about 10 inches. The living room A/C didn’t work well and the room was extremely hot with the sun shining directly in. The dark curtains which had to be closed to block the sun, made the room very depressing and unusable. They need to install awnings or add a porch with a roof on the outside to block the sun. They also need to replace the windows because they don’t work well. The TV in the living room only had 4 channels, CBS and 3 cowboy or gangster shows. The house was described as beach front. It was in fact 200 yards away and you had to walk down a a gravel road. The beach itself was nice. The kitchen had several problems. The refrigerator door had to be shut forcefully. Very limited pots and pans. The facet needs to be replaced. The gas stove is very old. In order to light a burner, you had to turn on the gas and then use a hand held lighter so the flames would come on. The oven was the same. The bathroom was nice, but a bath mat is needed in the shower because its floor is very slippery. I’m sorry this is so negative, but the house has potential. I want the owner to know specific problems so they can be addressed. Rogers

Quiet weekend

Wonderful cottage with lake view. Was listed as beach front but there was a short walk to the beach. Other then that the only problem was no plunger for the bathroom! We enjoyed our stay on this property.

Quiet getaway

Good place to stay. Air conditioning, beautiful lake, very quiet and secluded. Cute coastal town. Belfast is nearby and a great place to spend the day. Enjoyed Sears Island for a nice day hike. Also not far from Bar Harbor if you would like to head up there for the day. Tim was a great host! Easily accessible! Left us his personal spotting scope, once he found out we were birders. I’m sure he would have done anything for us if we had asked!
