Relaxing location

Clean, comfortable and well cared for location. Quiet lake with minimal activity making for peaceful days both on the lake and on property. Far enough away that you feel secluded but close enough to town that trips to grab groceries or shop are easy. Exceeded expectations.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely clean lake house on a quiet pond with inner tubes and kayaks in good shape for use. Beautiful views from almost every window. I could have happily stayed there the whole week but day trip to Acadia Nat’l Park was the icing on the cake.

Great

We had some issues upon check-in with the propane. They got it all sorted very quickly and were kind about the whole situation. The view is spectacular and area is peaceful. My kids were in awe of the amount of fish they caught right off the dock. The house is very well stocked with all you’d possibly need. We would stay there again!

Reviewer Comments: Our family group of seven adults and teens had a terrific time at this wonderful Bucksport property the home was clean, well furnished, well supplied, and tastefully decorated. The space is allocated efficiently and were very comfortable for our 5-night stay. The best feature of course was being right on the water - beautiful sunsets and afternoon swims. Great find.

Stress Free Maine Vacation On The Lake

My wife, son, mother-in-law, aunt, and I spent four nights here and we are already are discussing going back. The stress of city living melted away as we approached the home surrounded by tall trees and a beautiful lake shore. We spent most of our time outside, enjoyed swimming, kayaking, lunch on the picnic tables and evenings by the fire. Fellas, bring your rod and reel, there are fish in the lake! The inside was quaint and cozy. The beds were comfortable and there is plenty of space for eating and relaxing. The master bedroom is beautiful!! If multiple couples are going, you’ll be fighting over it. We can’t wait to come back. If you’re wanting to get away and unwind in Maine’s great outdoors, this should be on the top of your list!

We LOVED our stay in this home. Extremely clean, nice furnishings and everything you need to enjoy the lake: kayaks, floaties, noodles, life jackets. 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs and 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on the main floor. It was perfect for us and our adult children. The property is beautiful and quiet. More than enough towels and a well stocked kitchen. The only negative we had was when we had to contact the property manager- the electronic door had dead batteries so we could not lock it went we left. After much texting back and forth, they made it clear that we would have to remedy the situation, so we had to go buy batteries. Pretty disappointing since we had plans.

Peaceful Retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the beautiful view we had on Williams Pond. Every night we had drinks on the dock enjoying the sunset. Amazingly we did not get attacked by mosquitos at dusk. Our first morning we walked down the stairs to find a deer staring at us outside the kitchen window enjoying her breakfast. That made our day. The house is beautiful and well stocked with essentials for everyday living. They supplied basic items like coffee, tea, creamers, sugar and spices so you don't have to buy everything. I wish we could have stayed longer and used the canoe, but we visited Acadia and Bar Harbor and could have used an extra day to just hang out on the pond. The only issue we saw,, which wasn't a problem because we didn't need the use of a tub was the downstairs shower/tub finish was peeling off and needs serious repair.
