This was a lovely home situated on a beautiful lake. At first we we not quite sure if we were in the right place when we turned off a rural road onto a dirt and gravel road. However, when we finally arrived everyone loved it! It was off the beaten path and about 40-45 minutes from Bar Harbor and the main entrance for Acadia National Park. We were also able to venture to Schoodic Point as well as some local restaurants and shops near Sullivan. A great time was had by all.

Quiet and relaxing

Great getaway with a relaxing view! My husband and I along with my sister and her husband had a relaxing week at this cabin. The drive to Acadia was scenic so you didn’t feel too far away. We relaxed in the screened in porch every night and loved the sunset on the water every night! Also loved the cappuccino maker!

Perfect lakeside getaway!

We were looking for a place to just relax for a few days and checkout nearby attractions like Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, along with a friend's family. We liked the pictures in the listing, but this house was even better in person! Whoever designed and decorated the place really did a great job, and the host has put in a lot of though with all the furnishings and making sure that guests have a comfortable stay here. It's a really good size house and perfect location on a lake to just hangout and go boating / kayaking, or grill on the deck and spend time with family and friends. The host was super responsive with all the questions I had prior to the trip and even during. Our kids really liked our stay there and are already asking to return there next year - so we hope to do a repeat in the future! I highly recommend this.

Paradise in Sullivan, Maine

Our family of 8 stayed at this property 7/2 - 7/9/22. We have stayed at several different properties through VRBO and I can honestly say this was the first property that exceeded all of our expectations. The property is beautiful and as described luxurious. We had all kinds of room and the kids used the kayaks and fished off the dock. Family gatherings around the table and fire pit while the sun dipped below the horizon each evening were wonderful! We went to several of the owner recommended restaurants and activities and all were as described. Ironbound restaurant and Bar Harbor and Acadia were highlights. Bar Harbor and Acadia are about a 50 minute scenic drive from the house. For us it was perfect and the house provided a beautiful quiet retreat from the busier more hectic park and town. Early July with highs in the 70’s and evenings and mornings in the 50’s. Fantastic! Barbara was the quintessential host and responded immediately to any questions. Extremely organized and provides all the little details in the home that make a good experience into a great one! I literally could not more highly recommend a better place to stay if you are vacationing in the Bar Harbor area. We plan to return! The Halfhill family

This rental has pros and cons. The house is architecturally interesting and the lakeside location with the dock is nice. Unfortunately, there is an issue with the next door neighbor. It appears that the owner is doing an addition/renovation on his home and at times it can be quite noisy with sawing and machines running (floor sanding maybe inside). Also there is a very bright spotlight aimed directly at the side of the rental house that will go on and off for several minute intervals at night so sleeping in the main level bedroom can be less than restful. The next door neighbor's shed, large RV which family members live in, his trucks are parked directly behind the rental house and the parking for the rental house is behind the neighbor's house. Therefore early in the morning the downstairs bedroom gets the building material sounds and sawing from the neighbor working directly behind the bedroom windows. The question is why don't they use the areas directly behind each house as originally plotted? That way the neighbor could have his shed, big RV and construction materials behind his own house. In speaking with the builder/owner, the house was sold because the owner was fed up with the neighbor's behavior - such as refusing to switch the parking areas when they switched ownership of the house lots. The other issue is air-conditioning. The upstairs air conditioner is actually in the loft bedroom. It is not meant to cool the whole house. The bedrooms on the bottom level of the house have only a sliding door for ventilation. Several nights were quite warm and the downstairs had no air circulation. The air conditioner did not cool the lower level - wasn't meant to - and the few windows on the ground floor that could be opened had no screens. Being able to open the windows would have been great. We did really enjoy the screened porch especially in the evenings to hear the loons, watch the sun go down, enjoy the lake. The outside dining table was wonderful too. Kayaking on the lake was fun and interesting. Out grandkids had a good time swimming and catching frogs and releasing them and fishing. The house is near some great hiking and the lobster boat tours are highly recommended. We did enjoy exploring the area and the friendliness of the locals.

Gorgeous Property!

This is an excellent property to stay with your family or friends. The views of the lake are amazing. We were able to see the beginning of the changes of the leaves. It was breath taking! Our stay was relaxing and enjoyable. The owners did an outstanding job with the decorations. Extremely well kept and welcoming home!

This is the perfect house and lake for a family vacation!

This house was perfect for our family vacation. I am very particular about cleanliness and this house met all my expectations as well as being decorated beautifully. We all enjoyed the lake as we brought up our fishing boat and the house had 2 kayaks there for us to use. The screened in porch was one of my favorite places to just relax and look at the lake. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of room for all of us. I would definitely come back to this beautiful house.

Wonderful luxury house! Great for an extended family. House has lots of nice touches and great overall feel to it. Nice having the lake, the dock, the fire pit, cornhole tables. Screened in porch very nice also. Nice kitchen as well. Would definitely recommend. For a great hike & climb, don't forget to climb Schoodic mountain which is visible from the house !

Magnificent!

Highly recommend! This was a beautifully-furnished home with stunning views of Flanders Pond, especially at sunset. Hosts, Jordan and Barbara, were very friendly and responsive...and even provided a bottle of wine upon arrival! The kitchen is very well stocked for those who like to cook. Our family enjoyed smore's night by the firepit, fishing off the dock, and of course, Bar Harbor, and hiking in Acadia. You will love this place!!!

Great Stay for Family

Listen if you are looking to get away from it all this is your place. Clean Quiet and a great view of Flanders Pond. I have rented homes from VRBO before and I always notice some let down but not this place!!! The pictures don't even do the inside of this house justice. If you stay take a trip out to Schoodic point at night to check out the stars it is awesome. This place is a 5 star place to stay!!! Mara Family

Perfection personified!

Amazing, lovely, the lake house is everyone’s dream home. The beds were perfect, the kitchen was amazing. Everything at your fingertips! Morning coffee on the deck looking over the lake exquisite! S’mores by the fire pit under the stars, television’s for those who have the the need for them. I’m speaking for everyone in the group, every day we were exclaiming on one thing or another! We all said we would love to return and share this place with the rest of the family. Thank you fir the opportunity to share your home!
