Cottage on the lake

Cozy cottage on Graham Lake. Sleeps up to 5 people. But keep in mind the cottage is very small and would be tight for 5 adults. It’s more suited for 2-3 adults, or a small family. Imagine coffee on the deck with a view of the lake. Bring your canoe and fishing pole, or browse the shops and restaurants in downtown Ellsworth. If you like the outdoors, there’s plenty to do. The area is filled with hiking trails and beautiful views. Just 45 minutes from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor.

Lakeview Cottage

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 48 reviews7 months ago

Really enjoyed our stay here. The views were lovely, the lake was refreshing, the beds were comfortable, lots of kitchen stuff, and the showers were hot. The house mostly has what you need. It could use a few more dish towels and bath towels. The long drive to Acadia got tiresome.

Graham Lake Cottage

5 out of 5 average rating, 26 reviews6 months ago

Can’t say enough about Craig’s beautiful lakeside cottage. If you like remote, peaceful and being close to nature this is for you. The house and contents seemed brand new and they had thought of everything we could want, right down to pancake mix, maple syrup and Maine blueberries for our breakfasts. An easy drive to Acadia. Craig was communicative, friendly and helpful. We had a fantastic stay and hope we’ll be back.

A little slice of heaven on Brewer Lake

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 91 reviews6 months ago

This welcoming home is spotless and cozy. Situated on the bank of a picturesque lake, we were greeted by the peaceful sounds of nature and lovely shades of fall colors. The thoughtful hosts had left tasty treats on the table for us, along with local suggestions. The kitchen was well-equipped and had everything we needed. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms were clean. It was an easy drive to Acadia and the coast as well as into the north Maine woods. If you are looking for a house that instantly feels like home, stay here. Jerry and Kristi, thank you for being great hosts. We had a wonderful stay!

Beautiful Lakeside guest house.

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 42 reviews6 months ago

Wow! Frank's place is absolutely beautiful. I could not have asked for a better place to spend our 35th wedding anniversary. The house was immaculate. The kitchen was THOROUGHLY stocked. Very good cookware and the knives were sharp! I usually do not sleep well in a different bed but my back did not hurt at all. I must say the chair in the corner in the living room is without a doubt the most comfortable chair I have ever sat in. Spent the rainy day hanging out in that chair. Frank and Amy were very responsive and offered great suggestions on things to do. Amy greeted us upon arrival. She lives in the house next door. Beautiful gardens. Very quiet, peaceful and remote setting. Bangor was about a 30-minute drive. Acadia an hour drive. This house is definitely one of the top Airbnb's we have ever stayed at. I would not hesitate to stay at this beautiful peace of paradise again. Wish we lived closer.

Lakeside Landing

My husband and I spent our babymoon at Jennifer’s place, and waking up to the stunning lake view each day was just what I needed to unwind. I asked Jennifer if there was cooking oil available, and her mom kindly brought us a bottle of olive oil before our arrival—such a thoughtful gesture! We will definitely stay here again if we're ever in the area.

The home was just as described, very comfortable and quiet. My friends and I visited Acadia and were able to travel between the park and the home easily. We were able to cook meals at home, made s’mores out back and also canoed and kayaked. Truly had a blast and appreciated the privacy. Thank you!

Lakeside Retreat - House on Swanlake

5 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviews3 months ago

Kristine’s cabin was perfect for my parents’ visit. It was very clean and a beautifully, well-maintained house. They felt very comfortable there. It was helpful to be able to adjust the temperature because my parents get cold. It was nice that there were same games and puzzles available. The view on the lake was beautiful. The bathroom was clean and spacious! Kristine is very responsive to messages.
