Donnell Pond Rustic Camp Young

4.69 out of 5 average rating, 55 reviews6 months ago

The cabin was amazing!!! Right on the lake where you can enjoy fishing, kayaking, and rowing. Outdoor grill and table were perfect for grilling burgers! Inside was really cool, clean, and had a great layout! We played lots of darts. Kitchen had everything we needed. Host was really nice and had some breakfast items in the fridge for us! The area does not have signal or wifi, but it is great to disconnect and enjoy the peaceful outdoors. Would highly recommend this place again. Perfect for a weekend getaway or even longterm. Acadia National Park is only about 40 minutes away. Lots of cool things to do in the area.

Lake House w/ Beach near Acadia

5 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviews7 months ago

We absolutely enjoyed our stay on the lake in the cutest cabin! The host was easy to connect with, answering all our questions with a timely response. Only two pieces of advice; whatever transportation you’re taking make I would suggest a truck with solid suspension. The cabin is on a long rough dirt road and grooved semi-paved, my Elantra wasn’t the smartest option. Second, I would suggest grocery shopping on your way if you want large items and a lot of stuff because Walmart is ~35-40 mins. We had fires every night, it was a little chilly in Sept to swim but we did kayak, and simply enjoyed the peace and quiet of the early Fall on the lake. There is one little country store ~10 mins away that has some last minute grocery items, camping stuff, adult beverages, and a little delicatessen where you can get breakfast stuff and subs - the guy makes a mean hero. At night would cozy up and watch a movie and the beds were crazy comfortable so slept great. We hope to make it an annual trip!!

"Kelp" Dome at Historic Waterfront Cannery Site

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviews6 months ago

Very cool yurt on a kelp farm! Right on the water and the chairs overlooking the bay for the sunset was worth the couple nights in itself. Trey is there to meet you and show you around the property. There were also very friendly property dogs that loved to say hello! The bathroom and shower were in a separate building but was clean and just a few feet from the yurt. There were windows in the yurt that make for a nice breeze through the yurt. The kitchen amenities made making coffee and heating up food a breeze. The host had great information about trails in the area and food recommendations.

I am absolutely obsessed with this place!! The description does not describe how cool this place is if you love the outdoors and are dog lovers! We walked alll around the area found the 10 foot water hole, our dogs ran around acres and acres of land and loved this entire property!! We loves the outdoor fire and all the free wood. The indoor was SO cozy with the fire place. I will 100% be back this spot, cannot say enough cool things about this spot. If you’re an outdooor adventurer type of person or traveling with dogs I highly recommend!!!!

Kayak Cabin on Flanders Pond

5 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviews8 months ago

Susan was the manager, but the “real” hosts were the owners, Brenda and Mike. Just really friendly, kind, helpful and down to earth. Felt absolutely at home. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with all sorts of condiments and spices. I promise you won’t be needing anything. Lots of nice clean dishes, appliances, etc. The place itself is outstanding in its location on the waters edge. The WiFi isn’t maybe the most reliable with a full house, but it’s adequate. Besides, LOOK at the photos, it’s stunning on the pond.

Lakeside Cottage

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 23 reviews5 months ago

Nick’s place is a gem! It was a gorgeous location to get our son off the UMaine campus and visit for a few days. The house overlooks peaceful Hermon Pond easily enjoyed from the big windows, the deck or the waterfront. The house was immaculate and had anything you could need. The kitchen had everything required to make a few home cooked meals. Beds were big and very comfortable. Nick was communicative and generous. We hope to be back in warmer weather to take advantage of the kayaks!
