About this house rental
We now have a FUJITSU heat pump and A/C!
Our place is close to Bar Harbor (45 minutes) and Bangor. (20 minutes)
There are amazing technical mountain trails outside the back door.
We are on Brewer Lake with amazing sunsets! (outside the front door and just a short walk) Great fishing, swimming and kayaking!
Also, you can take advantage of the summer concert series in the evenings and American Folk Festival in August. Great for couples, group adventurers, and families.
Our cell #’s are Di, 207-992-6657 and Joe, 207-992-6659.
Welcome to our home, we hope you enjoy your stay!
Here are some useful tidbits:
The wifi password is cooperryder.
All of the televisions are Smart TV 's.
There is dish soap and detergent under the sink.
The key is in the golf cart and the kayaks are already at the dock.
There are life jackets on the stone patio under the screened in porch.
Firewood for the firepit is on the outside of the woodshed on the left. There is a sign.
Closest grocery stores:
Walmart or Hannaford, both in Brewer, about a 15 minute drive.
This time of the year it is much easier to access both by turning left on Wiswell instead of going to the end of Copeland Hill and trying to turn left onto 1A. I have included a map.
There is also Tiller and Rye in Brewer if you are looking for organic produce, grass fed and free range meat, or gluten free options. They have a “cafe” on site that has great items to go. They also have lots of local beers, wines and coffee.
All doors lock, but can open from the inside. Pull the handle up and turn the lock to the left.
Dinner Recommendations:
Bangor is about 20-25 minutes away. Brewer is about 10-15 minutes away.
McLaughlins (Bangor), The Eagle’s Nest (Brewer), or Jone’s Lobster Co. (Holden) are the best places to get a lobster roll. None are fancy. McLaughlins only has outdoor picnic table seating. Jone’s has some indoor and outdoor seating and also has many other delicious options on their menu...and they are the closest!
For a pricey, but excellent dinner, try Evenroods. Timber Kitchen and Bar is also a good choice with a throwback to Maine’s lumbering industry in their design.
The Tarrantine is also a unique dinner experience. The Tarratine Building is a historic structure in Bangor’s Great Fire District. The exclusive Tarratine Club was organized in the year 1884 by 31 Bangor citizens. Among that group of 31 was former U.S. vice president and first Tarratine Club President, Hannibal Hamlin. You are welcome to explore the building while you're there or have drinks on the rooftop bar.
For great food via a brewery, try Mason’s Brewing Company in Brewer or the Sea Dog in Bangor, both have waterfront seating, which is perfect if there’s a concert in town.
A relatively new restaurant/bar is Kanu in Old Town. Their rooftop bar is also pretty amazing.
For a yummy sandwich, try the Harvest Moon Deli in Brewer. Locally owned with a creative menu.
If you love ice cream, Giffords or Fielder's Choice are both excellent!
If you are heading to Bar Harbor, Camden or Belfast for a day trip, you can’t go wrong!

What a beautiful home! Check in was super easy and the house was super clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need and there were plenty of bathroom towels. We enjoyed the screened in porch so much and the dock was a big hit. We had lots of room for 10 of us to stay and thoroughly enjoyed our time together.

One butlers kitchen and a main kitchen with a huge island made it so easy to cook for our large group. Check in was super easy, code for the garage door was given and also for a lock box that held the main door key. Walk to the lake was a little steep which was fine for most in our party but the golf cart was helpful for others. We swam and enjoyed the kayaks. Overall wonderful stay with plenty of beds for everyone and so many things available for use that made everything go smoothly.

Our family of 12 had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful lake house in Maine! The home itself was spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable—perfect for a multigenerational group like ours. The kitchen was a standout feature: fully stocked, modern, and a joy to cook in, making family meals easy and fun. Each of the beds was cozy and restful, and the entire house was thoughtfully set up to make guests feel right at home from the moment we arrived.What truly made this stay special, though, was the stunning lakeside property. The private dock and serene views were picture-perfect, and the lake provided endless entertainment for the kids with fishing, swimming, kayaking (with boats provided!), and just enjoying the outdoors. The host was fantastic—super communicative and helpful throughout the week, which made everything smooth and stress-free. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable family getaway!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2024
The listing was misleading. There are 0 bedrooms on the main floor. There is one bedroom in the loft, but it’s not private(Listing says it’s private). It has glass doors that open up to the loft, which contains 3 beds. We had to put towels over the glass for privacy.
The other two private bedrooms are in the basement. The bathrooms were dirty and both showers had mold and mildew in them, and smelled terrible.
The lowest level bedroom was moldy and musty and the AC didn’t remove the humidity. Using the AC made the smell worse.
One of our guests couldn’t stay down there because the mold and mildew smell was too overwhelming.
Based on the listing description, we thought it could comfortably accommodate two families, but it did not with the odd bedroom configurations.
