Lovely Lakefront Property
The lake location is incredible and so peaceful and the water is crystal clear. There are 2 docks with seating, 2 kayaks and a canoe. We could hear the loons in the morning and evening and saw an eagle. The house is comfortable and just as pictured. The furniture is all cozy and the kitchen is well equipped. The owner is very responsive and turns out she lives next door. We would highly recommend this place!

We enjoyed the stay. The cottage was just perfect for our party size. Would stay here again. The lake location was amazing and the owner was very informative. We loved how everything was there and ready for use. The home does need some attention. The hall bath shower leaked onto to the floor all the time while in use. We had to keep towels down to keep from having a soaked floor. The house needs to have some refreshes done. Musty smells. The upstairs beds need to have new or better mattresses placed.

Fun family gathering
We had a fantastic two-week stay by the lake. The cottage is in a great location with easy access to Acadia and the surrounding area, however there is so much to do right at the cottage you may never want to leave. The cottage was well stocked with everything we needed and communication with the owner Karin was great. Can’t wait to come back!

Total Peace and Quiet
We picked this property in the hopes of finding some quiet relaxation on our vacation. This little spot did not disappoint! It's wonderfully secluded and peaceful and yet conveniently located to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Downtown Ellsworth is a gem to discover if you don't feel like making the trip into Bar Harbor. The weather didn't cooperate, so we didn't get to take advantage of the kayaks, canoe, or swimming, but that didn't diminish the experience at all! If you want privacy with a lovely view to stare off into, quiet nature to enjoy a book, or a short scenic drive to all sorts of activities, this is the place for you!

This is a very nice house situated on the south shore of Branch Lake. It was well appointed and the supplies at the house are excellent. We had lousy weather and couldn’t take full advantage of the waterfront amenities. The host, Karin, was great to work with. We asked how to get Netflix with the existing Dish network setup, and the next day the old tv was replaced with a smart television. The house is a pleasant place to stay.

Wonderful stay on Branch Lake
We had a fantastic time here! Karin's house is very comfortable. It has plenty of space to spread out, all the kitchen utensils you would need, games and puzzles, kayaks and a canoe with life jackets, and the location is super private and quiet. The stars were amazing over the lake! Branch Lake really is pristine. It's so clear and calm. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this rental and Branch Lake.
