Serene Lakefront Cabin on Beautiful Spring Fed Pond - Close to Acadia and MDI
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (38)
"Overall the trip was great the house was not bad, But the driveway is very rough on low riding vehicles. I also found it weird that during my stay the owner message to me to let me know he would be dropping off a snow plow at the house that day. I know it's their property and all it just felt weird as I paid thousands of dollars to be there."
