A fun place to stay! The family's favorites were fishing, kayaking, swimming, making smores and catching frogs. The house was well stocked and comfortable. Would definitely stay there again!
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2017
This house is perfect for vacation. The kids all caught fish, frogs and turtles and loved every minute of being on the lake. Easy day trips to Bar Harbor and Acadia and nice to come back to relax by a fire. The owners were very sweet and responsive when we had a question. We wishes we had booked two weeks. We've already recommended this house to others and just left today.

A lovely place for us to spend two weeks with the grandkids. Just what we wanted - and got!
6 / 10Average·Dec 2007
The house itself is very nice and clean! But I would not recommend it for people wishing for a remote, quite getaway. I felt slightly misled when researching this property. My family and I drove over 1200 miles to find an isolated cabin. Based on the pictures shown on the website (which show zero neighboring houses) make it appear that the lake is much less populated than it actually is. There are houses on both sides of this property and the lake its self is heavily populated. The picture on the website is framed exactly to omit the house neighboring home. As for the “quiet cove on desirable Branch Lake” (quote from description on website) was far from that the first three days of our trip. In fact, two houses down from this location…three were approximately 20 people from three or four families having a continuous party. They were blasting salsa music and water tubing in continual circles in the bay directly in front of the property.
Our family was so disappointed in the location that we left the home two days prior to our original checkout time in search of a more tranquil location. The lesson we learned from this ordeal is to ask more specific questions from owners.
The smallmouth fishing was indeed excellent as long you can ignore the jet skis and ski boats buzzing past as you fish.
