Wonderful Get Away
The A frame is simply and beautifully built with clear plexiglass roofing, a conventional door w/ windows and another window above the bed's headboard. Lots of Light and very clean, The bed is really comfortable. A small dresser inside keeps kitchen items ( coffee mugs, plates, silverware etc ) out of the elements. Gravity fed water via hose is very nice to have. Host is so very nice and informative as well without being intrusive. The site is very peaceful and beautiful. We had another very wonderful stay at this site. Thank you so very much, Machelle !

What a gem of a place! Everything is just perfect, and the small touches like fairy lights and fresh flowers make it so magical and charming. The photos really don’t do it justice! The place is clean and comfortable and there’s everything you need for a comfortable stay. My husband said I shouldn’t leave such a glowing review because he’s afraid too many people will discover this hidden slice of heaven! We’re already looking forward to coming back.

Relaxing
We did not see another person while on the site / lake. PERFECT!! We did take the canoe out several times to explore and fish. Peaceful and enjoyable. Weather was perfect to sit in the cold waterfall then sit in the hot sun to dry off. Nights were a bit chilly but we brought a heavy blanket and it did the job. Only disappointments were that the solar string of lights hung around the site were not all working so the site was very DARK at night and one propane tank ran out but NO BIGGIE !!! There were two propane tanks so it did not stop us from cooking. All in all we had a wonderful time and are already thinking about when we will visit again in 2023 should our good God allow us to do so. We even saw an eagle fly by and land in a nearby tree while having our morning coffee.

Perfect retreat in a beautiful calm lakeside setting. Despite rain on arrival we were cosy & content in the well equipped tent & spent evenings around a fire & camp kitchen. A wonderful 3 day stay. Host very hospitable.

Nice Location
The tent was spacious and linens are provided. There is some cooking/dish washing materials already there, but still be prepared to bring your own supplies especially if you have more than two people (we were short on silverware and couldn't find the spatula for the grill). We were warned about the mud and low water level, but unfortunately we were sinking almost up to our knees in it and gave up on bringing the kayaks out. Not really something you can control though. Other than that, the site was quiet and peaceful and we really liked the solar string lights at night. The trail to the waterfall was short and it was great to take a dip in on a hot day. Just be aware of the thorns along the trail as we kept getting scratched going back and forth around one area. Overall a pleasant experience and the host was informative about what to expect upon arrival!

Watch out!
The waterfront is basically unusable, unless of course, you don't mind wading through yard-after-yard of knee-deep mud to eventually (presumably--we gave up) reach the "lake." You might also want to bring an extra 50 gallons of water, because the camp has no running water to rinse oneself after each unintended mud bath. And carrying that water to the "campsite" won't be easy, as one needs to navigate a long dirt footpath from the parking area to the site. After seeing the "camp," we chose not to stay even one of the five nights that we had booked and already paid for. Bottom line, watch out!

A perfect place to unwind
If you are looking for the perfect place to unwind, this is it. The setting is so peaceful and inviting. The trees canopy protects you from rain and sun and the whole environment here is so tranquil and happy. I had everything I could need to have an enjoyable stress free vacation. My dog and I loved Machelle and we loved the campsite and the tent. Everything was really perfect. Machelle was very helpful and sweet. There is nothing more I could have wanted. Very dog friendly and comfortable. The night air was perfect for sleeping and the bed was very comfortable. It was a perfect place to stay so I could drive to different hikes in the area without being in a crowded place. Thank you Machelle for making our vacation so wonderful. You rock!

A more comfortable way to camp. 30 minutes to Acadia, 10 to Ellsworth downtown. Stayed a couple of nights with our dog. One of the better pet friendly options we could find in the area.

This spacious tent mounted on a platform is situated in a secluded forested area overlooking a quiet lake which enables you to experience the outdoors while being protected from the elements. The owner has gone to a great deal of effort to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. The solar-powered lighting around the encampment is magical. While you have about all you need to do some cooking and, importantly, to do the necessary cleaning up, we probably could have used some sort of container to bring water from the lake to wash dishes. But not to quibble. This is a great spot if you need to take a few days off to recharge your batteries. Never slept better.

It was a good set up and situation in order to get away for a weekend. Being able to grab a kayak and spending some time on the lake was nice. Being able to fall asleep with the sounds of nature just outside was also peaceful.

Perfect Yurt
This was the perfect place to stay visiting Acadia for the first time. It was raining the weekend we stayed, but Ellsworth has great places to eat and the yurt was a cozy retreat from the weather. Michelle was a great host and thought of every possible need we would have. Only wish was that we had more time to enjoy the campsite!

We had a great time on this trip. The campsite was very clean and private. The trip was better than our expectations. We grabbed a quick dinner our 1st night down at Otis General Store and the food was great and the people were pleasant. Everything at the campsite was well thoughtout and anything we could have needed was waiting for us. Thanks for a great weekend.

Michelle was wonderful! We’ll be booking again! My son fished for 3 days straight sun up to sun down! Our dog can’t be around other others animals so traditional campgrounds simply won’t work for us . My teenage girls didn’t argue not once! We all played games an just enjoy some family time!

A few days in Maine
Our stay was exactly what we wanted for a few days in Acadia. It allowed us to camp with a bit more comfort than a tent. The kayaks and canoe were so much fun and the waterfall was perfect for some freshening up. I'll be recommending the property to friends.

Stopped off in ME for two nights at this campsite on a northeast road trip with friends. This was a perfect and peaceful stay close to Acadia and Machelle was so helpful in prepping us for the site. The tent was spacious and clean, the nearby stream was lovely, and the views of the stars over the lake at night was perfection. We loved it!!
