Date of Stay: August 2008
We rented this cottage from the 2nd till the 9th of august 2008. The cottage is very clean, and fully equiped. You don't need to bring anything except your shampoo and soap, toothbrush and toothpaste! Since the cottage is on a lake, you always have a nice breeze coming in. We all slept very well, the beds were very confortable. If you want peace and quiet, you want to relax, this is the perfect spot! You will see osprey, eagles, herons, you will see and hear loons on the lake, and other wildlife like deer. I even heard a coyote one night! The fishing is good:my sons caught 8 small mouth bass (they are not big, but depending on how many people you are, count at least 2 per person).
If you need anything like milk, bread, beer, there is a small convenient store/restaurant about 10 minutes from the cottage called Porky Sue's. They serve coffee and the food is good(it is not gourmet food, but you will find hamburgers, subs, pizzas and seafood on the menu).
The cottage is about 20 minutes from Ellsworth where you have a Shaws and Hannafords, and other restaurants like Mc Donalds, Burger King, Wendys, Friendlys and much more. You have another 20 minutes more to get to Bar Harbor(unless you get traffic!)
We got clouds and rain all week(which is exceptional since it had not rained all summer except for the last two weeks), but we had an amazing week! We were so confortable, not to mention the veranda which gives you a view of the lake! We even ate there a couple of times with candles! There is a table on the veranda that you can use, with all the chairs you need, there is 2 rocking chairs, a very confortable sofa and chair if you want to relax and read! The veranda is screened all around, but you can also close the windows if it gets too chilly.
I will definitely go back to this place! It was wonderful, and Linda was great! She made us tour the cottage and explained where everything was. She told us where we could see a gigantic rock in the woods left by a glacier long long ago. She will surely tell you where you can see falls!
All I can say is that it is a beautiful place where you will relax and come back replenished!
