Brothers’ Weekend Getaway

Rented this cabin for my husband and his 2 brothers to have a guys’ weekend. They loved the bedrooms and large living area. They fished off the shore, and played games at the large table, as it rained most of the weekend. They had a great time, and found it very relaxing. The host was very responsive and helpful. We are thinking of returning sometime for a couples’ weekend!

The Great North Maine Woods

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. So much to do, from the lake to the north Maine woods. We saw lots of wild life and enjoyed hiking and riding the trails. We would definitely stay here again.

A Slice of Heaven

Our stay at the Squirrel’s Nest was top notch! We found that it was very clean and inviting. We felt very welcomed and were provided useful information about the area. Sherry was always available and the checkin process went very smooth. We enjoyed the lake and especially kayaking. Our family had a truly relaxing and refreshing week. We look forward to coming back to a slice of heaven!

Family Getaway

This trip was perfect from the cozy well-stocked cabin to the quiet area. We can’t say enough about this cabin on the lake, it was everything and more than we could have hoped for. Sherry was very accommodating and quick to respond when needed. We enjoyed kayaking and listening to the loons on the lake. We would love to return in the future.

Cozy cabin at a beautiful spot at the lake

The location was astonisching with a stunning view over the lake. The cabin was cozy, cleaned up and offered a lot of privacy. It is near Baxter State Park and Gulf Hagas. The cabin and its location was truly beyond our expactations. A good place to relax and perfect place to return to after a nice outdoorday.

Squirrels nest vacation

One of my favorite trips ever. The property provided a comfortable and peaceful backdrop to our family time. My sister and niece live in SC.and we don"t get to visit often. We went kayaking, built campfires, made Smores, and even laid on the dock to look.at the beautiful night sky without light pollution. There were inside activities available for rainy days.

Amazing getaway

This property is amazing! The cabin is spacious and has everything you need. The views are magnificent. The location is hidden away but very peaceful. The owner is always available to answer any questions in a prompt manner. While the drive on the road to the cabin isn’t for the faint of heart, it is very much worth it! Will definitely go again!

Peaceful Getaway

We stayed here for a girls Katahdin hiking trip. The Squirrels Nest was just perfect! So cozy and peaceful and clean. It had everything we needed to be comfortable. This home had all the amenities that made staying here such a treat! It was so relaxing watching/listening to the Loons in the lake after our hike. Such a beautiful spot! The host was wonderful to work with and very responsive. Highly recommend. We will be back for sure!

Great Lake House

This house was perfect for our needs. We're a group of kayak fishermen and wanted to spend a long weekend on Ebeemee Lake. Although it is a gas motor lake, most were very courteous to the kayakers. The fishing was good for the time of year. Smallmouth and Largemouth bass caught within 100ft of the dock at the house. The area is perfect and the property offers everything you need. I'd highly recommend this rental to anyone looking to spend time in the area.

Secluded family time

Nice little lakeside cabin. Well appointed, clean and a bit out of the way on a beautiful spot for admiring the loons each morning. My father, brother, and I stayed here for hiking access to Mt. Katahdin and surrounding trails (45 minute drive) and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Property is well maintained, had all the comforts of home and made for a perfect spot to have low-key family time away from the distractions of our daily lives. If you like the quiet and don't mind being distant from restaurants/bars, this is a great location for relaxation, burgers on a grill, and a good book or kayaking in the lake.

Lake, kayaking, loons, and sand hill cranes

This is our second year staying at this property. It is perfect for to be right on the lake where we can have interesting kayaking, take long swims, and birdwatch/naturewatch. We bring our own kayaks and spend time on the water paddling and nature watching. This year the loons, sand hill cranes, beavers, and eagles appeared. Given the location we could also explore north to the Penobscot River and beyond. The home is comfortable, the host flexible and responsive so it works out very well for us.

Great for fishing!!!

This was our 2nd trip to this home and it was even better the 2nd time. Communication is smooth and easy with Sherry. Our trips are very fishing centric and this rental is great for that. The fishing is great in the canal right out the back(from a boat or kayak) as well as around the lakes if you venture out, with smallmouth bass seeming fairly abundant ranging from the little guys up to 3+ lbs. Largemouth, pickerel, pumpkinseed and fall fish were also caught. I believe there are trout as well. We've noticed improvements around the house and property since our first stay which is always a positive sign. We'll be looking forward to staying here again in the future and would recommend to anyone considering this area.

Great place for vacation!

This cabin rental is spacious and very user-friendly. There's plenty of space to spread out and relax. The front porch is a great place for early morning coffee where you can see plenty of wildlife passing by. We brought our own boat and kayaks and spent lots of time on Ebeemee Lake. (There's also a few kayaks in the garage) We cooked over the fire, on the grill, and in the kitchen and made good use of the game shelf. We look forward to staying here again in the future. The owners have worked hard to make it a homey and inviting place to stay and it shows. Thank-you for making your cabin available to us.

Excellent

The cabin was just as shown in the pictures, if not better. The location is just far enough out from town, but close enough to venture out if needed for essentials. The cabin was fully stocked with all the comforts of home. I was able to cook full meals for my family each night in the spacious kitchen and had the option to grill. The lake is quiet and peaceful with many avian sightings. By far the most exciting view was watching a Kingfisher dive near the dock for his freshwater snacks. The kids enjoyed kayaking and fishing around the lake catching bass and pickerel. The fire place was also a nice end to cool the evenings. Sherry, the property owner was kind and easy to communicate with. She notified us when the cabin was ready and ensured an easy entry. We couldn't have asked for more and will certainly return for another stay.

Lovely lake home

This was a great camp with waterfront access to the pond. We came in late summer to enjoy nature and the water. We spent most of the time sitting by the lake or in the lake. The camp is on a network of ponds with beautiful view of marsh, not other cabins. Ebeemee Lake is a few ponds connected to each other, so as we brought our kayaks, we could go for a few miles. Birdwatching and nature watching was also fun with eagles, loons, warblers, beaver, muskrat, frogs, and turtles. The cabin appears to have been recently remodeled and was very clean, in great condition, and full of all amenities for a longer stay: lots of towels, washer/dryer, cooking equipment, and supplies. The owner made it easy to relax with features that made life easier. Close to trails and on the way to Baxter State Park. We felt out in the woods and away from tourists. We found a good restaurant in Milo, Bissell Brothers/3 Rivers, also a good brewery.
