A Wonderful choice for our 50th!
This was our first vacation in Maine and we picked a gem! The decor of this lakeside home, both inside and out, is outstanding. The living room windows is like an ever changing mural of the lake. Love this place!

Lovely Lakeside Cottage
A beautiful spot with some of the best views on the lake, including gorgeous sunsets. Lots of strategic seating around the property to take best advantage of those views! Great swimming and kayaking off the dock. The cottage is spotless and lacking for nothing. The hosts are thoughtful and responsive to communications insuring you have the perfect stay.

A slice of heaven!
The property exceeded our expectations in nearly every way. In fact, we thought the photos did not show how truly lovely the property was. A generous lot on a quiet lake with pleasing landscape. There were lots of areas to sit and enjoy dinner, coffee, sunbathing, grilling and chillaxing. The hosts provide kayaks which was a bonus, allowing us to get out on the lake to visit the islands and the coves. Dan and Karen we're most accommodating, even installing an additional AC unit in the bedroom to alleviate any potential discomfort for sleeping. They stayed in touch quickly and even allowed us to arrive a little early. The property is outfitted with everything you could possibly want to cook and enjoy your surroundings, including extras like a fire pit, Bluetooth speaker, swim towels, life jackets, a full laundry and a very active hummingbird feeder! The location is great as well with a Hannaford Supermarket and many other stores just 5 Mi away, and mini golf for those cloudy days just 3 Mi away! Exploration to Ellsworth and Bar Harbor -Acadia area was a pleasant day trip away. In Ellsworth, we discovered Serendip, a Sri Lankan restaurant, Birdsacre, a pleasant hiking trail/nature sanctuary and Rooster Brothers, a fantastic cookware and homeGoods store. In Brooksville, we found a great brick oven pizza location with craft beer and delicious toppings from their own garden called Tinder Hearth. You'll be happy you booked this the Cozy Couples Getaway!

Beautiful escape
This truly is the best getaway you can find. The location is stunning and place has everything you need and is very comfortable. Waking up on the lake was spectacular, and you truly feel like you're in nature, yet Bangor is only 20 minutes away. Couldn't recommend this place more highly, we would love to stay again.

Great view and grounds but cabin needs updating
The view and garden were great. The owner was great to communicate with check is was super easy and the location is convenient. Upon arrival the oven was not working and the host offered to bring a countertop model so we could cook Cabin itself could use some updating. Nothing was fundamentally wrong but everything just seemed tired and old. The AC was not central air just one mini split so no AC in the bedroom. this was my fault I just assumed that when ac was listed it was central air. the bathroom shower was odd since the where head was way low and there was a shower door and a shower curtain. There are really nice hardwood floors in the living area then some older engineered flooring that abruptly ends at the bedroom. The bedroom floor appeared to be either painted plywood or OSB with some area rugs. There were outlets and switches that had mismatched cover plates. The kitchen sink as a mismatch of cooking utensils and knives. The countertops looked to be Formica that was cut and pieced together to make them fit which is odd since there were wolf cooktop and oven. It’s not a bad place at all and the owner communicated great just needs updating Overall depending on what your looking for this could be a great place for you

Rejuvenation Lake, Loons and Peace
Full review is in the book at the cabin. This was possibly the best Vrbo my husband and I have ever stayed in. Lovely grounds and landscaping on a peaceful lake with the amazing sounds of loons. The bed is super comfy which is really important to us on vacation. We enjoyed the kayaks at sunset and moon rise. Thank you for a great place to wind down on our first trip to Maine.

In a word, Perfect!
“Perfect” is the best way to describe Dan and Karen’s place on Brewer Lake! The cottage is fantastic with all that you need for a relaxing getaway! The pictures are exactly as you see on the listing. The views of the lake and surrounding woods are breathtaking. The cottage has modern appliances (the WOLF gas cooktop and oven was awesome!) and the sleep number bed was SO comfortable...in fact we are going shopping for one today! The location is about 30 minutes from the airport and 10 minutes to local shopping, yet you feel like you are really away from everything. It is quiet and peaceful with loads of wildlife literally on the door step. We highly recommend Dan and Karen’s cottage for anyone looking to getaway, you will not regret it! We are already looking at availability in the future! Jeff and Aleksey

This beautiful cottage was a peaceful escape from our busy lives. The hosts really thought of everything and provide their guests with essentials to enjoy this wonderful property. The proximity to Acadia is perfect and we went on some tremendous hikes. The sunset over the lake on our last night was incredible as we watched from the chairs down by the water.

This place is wonderful. A lot of thought has gone into making it a lovely experience. The home is comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped for cooking. We enjoyed the sunsets, the loons, the hummingbirds, the stars, the fires at night, and of course the lake. It’s a perfect getaway and Bar Harbor and Acadia are only an hour away if you choose.

The cottage was beautiful , clean and well appointed. There was a problem with the bed which could not be resolved during our stay. The host , but not the property manager , was available during our stay . Karen and Dan were very responsive. However, the people who first assessed the problem were not able to find or fix. We are hopeful that in the future we can have a successful stay at this gorgeous property.
