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.

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.

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.

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.

Squirrel's Nest eclipse stay 2024
We chose the Squirrel's Nest because it was within the 2024 eclipse path of totality. As a bonus it was near Bissel Brothers Three Rivers brewery and taproom, which I'd always wanted to visit but had little other reason to drive almost five hours just for a few beers. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay here. There was plenty of room for the four of us. The kitchen had everything one could need and was well stocked with many food items, which is not typical in most home rentals. We stayed in April so it was a bit chilly at night despite the warm daytime temperatures. To remedy the nightime chill, we fired up the wood burning stove and enjoyed hanging out playing games by the warmth of the stove. The bedrooms were comfortable and with the windows open a crack, we awoke to the sounds of loons swimming on the picturesque lake behind the house. There was still ice on the pond, but if we were here in warmer weather, there were three kayaks in the garage for our use. Maybe next time! I would very much reccommend the Squirrel's Nest for anyone looking for a secluded getaway in northern Maine to disconnect and relax.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
