Fabulous
This is our second stay. When they say 1 step above camping that is misleading. By that I mean, if you have camped, this is 20 steps above camping. You have a stove, refrigerator, microwave and coffee pot. It has a screened porch, a deck and right on the pond. There are lights and outlets to charge phones and there is service for phones! This is better quality then most hotels for the money with the exception of no running water and outside (clean) bathroom. So, if you see this and you are scared as you hate camping, this is NOT camping and is absolutely worth going to.

A dream vacation
I absolutely love staying here! A beautiful view, so peaceful with the lake every morning. It was a save for me with the microwave and stove so I can cook dinner for myself since I didn’t want to rely on the fire for food. A dream solo vacation with just me a dog. Highly recommend!

Fabulous private getaway!!
A classic "upta camp" Maine experience. Private location, but a quick trip to eat out or visit coastal areas. Our dogs had a blast being off leash, swimming, running and playing. If you enjoy camping, you’ll love this. Bring all your supplies and enjoy some peace and quiet! We will definitely book again!

Beautiful Spot
So lucky to get a chance to stay here. The booking and all communication was great. We live in the city, so there is a lot of artificial light that you just can not escape. We were able to go out at night and see every star in the sky, and it was absolutely amazing. Very quiet place in November. We would love to experience the summer now.

So so great!
Another reviewer said the pictures don't do this property justice and I couldn't agree more! It's rustic with no running water, but the interior still provides plenty of space for comfort, with a couch, two chairs, two indoor tables and chairs, and outdoor chairs and a bench by the water as well. The view is the best part. We got there in the evening and woke up to the sun rising and were blown away by the beauty. We slept on the screened in porch and highly recommend that if weather appropriate. The port-a-potty was also very clean. The only thing I'd warn is Google Maps was trying to give us odd directions...just turn right on Lois Lane and go straight and follow down the private drive - it felt like maybe we were on a road we shouldn't be on, no signage for the address, but soon enough there was the port-a-potty and the U-turn at the end of the drive and you know you're there.

It was beyond beautiful. Very close to Acadia National Park, and the night sky here is a must-see. Low light pollution made for stargazing and views that are impossible to come by in the city. 10/10 would recommend

Imagine a beautiful log cabin that you reach after a 5 mile ride with breathtaking views and plentiful wildlife sightings That is only part of the charm of this destination. The home is perfectly outfitted and the Bear Creek provides background music. I booked the cabin when the government shutdown was looming and I didn’t want to be caught without lodging for our Yellowstone trip. What a piece of luck to find this piece of heaven in Montana!
