Beautiful lake house

From the house to the views, this VRBO is absolutely a winner. Cozy and absolutely clean. Impressed with the lake and how clear the water is. There are nice hiking trails near but with a very good cook about 4 miles away”Shiela’s Treats” makes amazing catered food that gives you more time with the family and fun. Seeing Eagles while we were on the lake was a plus as well. Acadia National Park is a must drive too. Overall an amazing trip and well worth it.

Home away from home

This beautiful property was wonderful for a week with family! The house was very clean, very modern, very suitable for everything we needed, and Anita provided absolutely everything we could think of. The views, and the amenities down by the water were wonderful. We felt genuinely comfortable, safe, and very relaxed here. Thank you Anita!

Perfect Maine Getaway

We loved our stay at the lake! The house was wonderful and had everything we needed to make our stay terrific. The location was great. We wanted a location where we could make short day trips to see the sights around Bangor and Acadia NP, while still enjoying days where we could just hang out at the lake. The property was beautiful with all the wildflowers in bloom. It was a perfect vacation spot for our family. We will definitely try to stay again if we make it back out that way in the future.

Beautiful getaway

Granite cove is a peaceful waterfront property. The house is new and very clean. Our children enjoyed kayaking, swimming (even in October we had some warm days) and nearby hikes.

Great stay in beautiful location!

We had a great time at Granite Cove! Kayaking, fishing, and swimming in the pond were enjoyed by all as well as relaxing on the screen porch! Bar Harbor and Acadia are about an hour drive, but well worth it! Our multi-generation family vacation was fully accommodated at this location! Anita was easily accessible and a wonderful host! This is a prime vacation spot for a peaceful getaway!

Perfect Maine lake house for family vacation

This was one of the best rental properties we've ever stayed at. Home is fairly new. It's bright, clean, comfortable and in a beautiful, lakefront setting. The hosts put a lot of thought into the design and provided amenities such as firewood for the outdoor fire pit. We swam and kayaked in the crystal clear lake. If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing vacation in nature, this is the place for you.

Restful Week Lakeside

As a family of seven adults, we were incredibly comfortable all week in this lovely lakefront cottage. We had everything we needed for a week of rest and relaxation! The lakefront is lovely complete with kayaks and an awesome floating dock! The screened in porch is where we spent most of our time reading in the swing, playing games at the very large table and hanging out together even when it rained. Beds were comfy, bathrooms were large and well stocked and the kitchen was perfect for making delicious meals! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Granite Cove!!

Home way from home.

An oasis from the hustle of life. The house was amazing, and beautiful. Very spacious to allow everyone to have their own space. It was a little to cold for the adults swim and kayak, but we enjoyed watching the kiddos in the pond. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful Lakefront VRBO

This home had so much more than we expected! The location is private, quiet and peaceful. Fully equipped kitchen plus lots of unexpected niceties such as - bug spray, clothes line to dry bathing suits and towels, flashlights, fire wood and kindling - just everything you could need. I would definitely recommend this home. I can’t wait to return!

Perfect house in a perfect setting.

You couldn’t ask for more. Anita and Pat have built and furnished this home beautifully. There are kayaks aplenty to explore the pond and visit the loons who occasionally break the otherwise peaceful setting with their eerie calls and warbling. Best of all, Anita and Pat are the perfect hosts, ever responsive to any and all needs. The big screened in porch is perfect for meals. Grilling was easy and firewood available for the kids and their s’mores. As my granddaughter said about Barbie, it rates a 13 out of 10.

Amazing Stay with Kids at a Beautiful House on Hopkins Pond

We had an incredible stay at Anita’s house! It was great for all ages - we had two adults, a grandmother, a 7 year old and a 1 year old. The attention to detail in their home is truly impressive. Every corner of the house feels thoughtfully designed, right down to the built-in baby gate at the top of the stairs, which was perfect for keeping our 1-year-old safe. It’s clear they’ve considered all the little things to make guests feel comfortable and at ease. The house itself is modern, stylish, and equipped with all the amenities you could need for a relaxing getaway. We didn’t even realize that we briefly lost power because they have a generator that kicked in and worked seamlessly. It didn’t impact our stay at all! The views from the house are stunning, especially in the fall with the changing leaves. We loved taking the kayaks out on the serene pond—it’s such a peaceful and scenic location. It is close enough to visit Acadia, Bar Harbor and Bangor too! Overall, this was one of the best stays we’ve had, and we can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing escape in a beautiful setting.

To small for ‘sleeps10’

Very pretty location. Pond is calm for canoeing and clear. House was very clean. Master bedroom was comfortable. Outdoor fire pit was great! A lot of the seating is firm and upright, (not overly comfortable). 8 of the advertised ‘sleeps 10’ beds were on the lower level with only one bath, no air conditioner and not great air flow. Bath towels stayed damp when hung overnight. Owners were very responsive when asked for a fan. But, overall the house was too small for our party of 8 adults. Looks bigger in pictures.

Maine fall paradise

We found this property to be incredibly well cared for and thoughtfully designed. The area around the camp is beautifully landscaped and provides a tranquil place to relax and enjoy nature. We enjoyed several nearby hikes and paddling on the pond. Eagle Bluff and Peaked Mountain trails provided amazing fall foliage views from the top of the impressive cliffs. Thanks to our attentive hosts for sharing their beautiful cottage in this special part of Maine. We look forward visiting again soon.

Peaceful, adventuresome getaway

The house was awesome with a wonderful view of the surrounding woods, down the path and to the pond. We kayaked the first weekend, but had some bad weather most of the week. Looking at weather radar, we went to the coast, including Northeast Harbor for the gardens and Southwest Harbor for lobsters. We traveled to Lubec for a whale watching tour with about 15 people. Eagles soared over our heads, seals basked on the islands, we saw East Quoddy Head lighthouse from the water, then visited West Quoddy Head by land. The drive was long, but fun. We found blueberry pies and lobster daily. The weather meant we ate out more than in, but that suited us. Two of our party hiked local trails, and a steep hike from Schoodic Head near Winter Harbor. We enjoyed Fogtown brewery in Ellsworth under a tent sheltered from the rain. In the home, we sat out on the screen porch, walked to the lake to view the sunrise and had fun reconnecting with each other. Our hosts recommendations were welcomed and used for our daily forays into town. We certainly would have spent more time on kayaks and in the water. We were unable to take advantage of the fire pit and lobster pot because of the weather. Next time…

Great Vacation!

The house is lovely, the hosts are lovely. We spent five wonderful weeks at Granite Cove. Enjoyed kayaking, swimming, eating meals on the spacious screened-in porch and most especially being visited and serenaded by the local loons! Anita and Pat were always available and helpful. We are returning!

Fantastic, peaceful location and the owners living next door was an added bonus! They were very helpful. The layout was good with a bedroom for each adult couple and the bunk room by two of the bedrooms. The screened in porch was awesome! Highly recommend

Serenaded by loons

Comfortable, well-stocked home on lovely, quiet lake. Great kayaking, accompanied by the sound of loons fishing in the shallows right off the property. Swimming hiking… everything we needed for an enjoyable, relaxing stay.
