The location on the lake is the highlight. The cabin is good but pay attention to the description - the queen bed is in the loft and the ceiling is too low to stand up, while the bathroom and bunk beds are on the main floor. Don’t expect a luxury accommodation - this is more of a rustic experience. Also note that they left bottled water for us to use for consumption, but no details on why the tap water wasn’t to be used for drinking. The bottled water was appreciated, but we still bought ice and a few gallons of water for our stay.

The host was extremely accommodating. We brought our boat which stopped working the first night and he towed me in and helped me troubleshoot the engine. He was extremely quick to respond and willing to help any time. On top of that, the camp was everything you need to feel cozy on the lake. Branch lake is easily one of the best lakes in Maine; pristine waters, amazing mountainous views and a great beach to take the kids. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly!

The lake is beautiful. We stayed there to visit other people in the area . We slept on the futon in the living room , but I could not find sheets . I should have reached out to the host , but it was late at night . So if you stay there and want to sleep on the futon make sure it can be made up as a bed with sheets and blankets .

Amazing private and quiet lake community. A good option if you're looking to stay close to Bar Harbor or Acadia without all of the traffic. Lake was beautifully pristine. The interior of the house was in great shape, and for the most part clean with some dog hair remaining on the beds. The outdoor space, including the dock, back decking, yard, furniture, and water amenities could all use a major improvement... especially at this price point.
