About this property

Lakefront log home on Graham Lake in Ellsworth, Maine

Lovely 3 bedroom, 3 bath log home on Graham Lake in Ellsworth Maine. Come enjoy a lake view with rocking chairs on the deck for relaxation, and short trip to Acadia National Park. Full kitchen, stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher. Master bedroom with a 3/4 bath on the second floor with a queen sized bed. Main floor bedroom with a queen sized bed and a full bath. Basement level bedroom with 2 twin beds and 3/4 bathroom. full sized washer and dryer. There is a front deck facing west towards the water for those beautiful Maine sunsets. Ellsworth is fair sized city only 3 miles away with many unique and chain restaurants and stores. Numerous outdoor lobster pounds on the road to Bar Harbor and Arcadia National Park. Bar Harbor and Acadia are about 30 minutes away.
The property is empty 8 months of the year and since it's location is in the middle of a forested area and knowing that there have been break ins in the immediate area we have installed a security system with multiple cameras outside and one inside that can be covered up upon your arrival if you so choose. If this is an issue for you I suggest you do not rent the cabin.

Peaceful Piece of Heaven
We enjoyed a fabulous stay at this comfortable cabin in the woods that had every amenity we could have wanted. The lake views are spectacular and the location is peaceful, off the beaten track, yet close to town and centrally located for an easy drive to Acadia NP and many other coastal attractions. The host was very responsive and helpful. Our stay couldn't have been nicer!

Quiet Paradise
Fran was an amazing host. Very responsive and easy to reach for any needs. The serenity of the location and all the perks are what made our stay a 10/10. When you book your stay, be prepared to be at the house for sunset, because you won't want to miss it!

Perfect Location
We were pleasantly surprised upon arrival. The pictures did not do the property justice. The home is perfect. The waterfront views are amazing. Lovely sunsets. We enjoyed our stay very much.The property is used by the owners and not just an income vacation rental. The drive is not too long to the national park or Bar Harbor. Fran is quick to respond to all communications.

Very Serene Place
Exactly what we were looking for in a rental! Well equipped home on a lake but close enough to town and other attractions. We weren’t too fond of taking the garbage to the transfer station nor too fond of all the cameras.

Peaceful Lakeside Cabin
The property was clean, comfortable, and well furnished. The outdoor amenities were definitely a plus. Fire pit, canoe, and kayaks were all really nice to have. The lake has almost no boat traffic, which made our stay very private and peaceful. The sunsets were incredible! Only downside is having to take trash to the collection center, especially if leaving on a Sunday when the center is not open.

Great spot on a beautiful lake!
This property was very comfortable and well laid out. You can tell this is a much loved spot for the host. We enjoyed the lake and the view and the privacy! While the property felt remote, we enjoyed being able to be in town in minutes. The host is responsive and super helpful. All in all, a great choice!

Wonderful Lakeside Retreat
The location of this cabin is great. It is situated on a lake for beautiful sunsets. It's not far from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, but it feels far away from the crowds. We enjoyed the canoe to paddle on the lake. Our host was accommodating and responsive to out needs and questions. I would definitely recommend and rent again.

Perfect place to unwind and enjoy vacation
The pictures don't really do the place justice. Beautiful view of the lake. Great place to relax after hiking in Acadia or returning from Bar Harbor. You felt isolated and away from the crowds, but close enough to run into town for groceries or grabbing a bite to eat. Well stocked kitchen so the option to dine in and save some money was also there. We also had campfires 2 of the nights we stayed there to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere.

Delightful Retreat
We enjoyed our visit to Graham Lake; the cottage was very nice with everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was well supplied. Our grandsons learned how to kayak during the week and had a great time on the beach and in the water. A nice bonus was the nearby access to the Downeast Sunrise Trail for ATV riding. One of the best trails in the state. Enjoyed access to Ellsworth for restaurants and shopping as well. Will plan to do this again.

Relaxing and fun family getaway spot
The pictures do not do this place justice! The house is clean and well maintained, and the location is unbeatable. It's private but close enough to hop over to town for some takeout or shopping. Our family had planned to take day trips in the area but once we arrived the kids had too much fun playing in the water and around the property to leave. We had everything we needed for cooking and the canoe and kayaks were a nice bonus. The views from the porch are well worth the trip!

Fishing
First time doing VRBO!! Excellent first impression. Easy and quick communication. My husband and I LOVE to fish in waders. The home not only gave us extraordinary views BUT the fishing was epic!! To be able to fish all around the lake in our waders was PRICELESS!

About the host

Hosted by Fran Forgit

Host profile image
I am the nephew of the original buyer if this property bought in 1968 and he granted it to me about 10 years ago.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in the family for over 40 years. It was used primarily as a campsite for friends and family. Three years ago we started construction and just this past summer, 2015, completed the final stage or the kitchen.

What makes this property unique

Very remote setting with virtually no boat or jet ski traffic. So to keep it that way I don't allow any motorized water craft except an electric trolling motor that you can put on the canoe.
