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!

Fantastic property inside and out. I’m a stickler for cleanliness and this place was pristine. Really comfortable bed and high quality linens. The lake was the most peaceful we’ve ever been on. Hosts are wonderful—communicative and helpful. We want to make this our vacation trip every year!

Beautiful Lake House
We really enjoyed our stay at this lake house. The view of the lake was amazing. Having the kayaks to use was great, as was being able to use the outdoor fire pit and the portable grill. I would definitely recommend staying here, and hope to do so again!

Beautiful property!
We had a nice relaxing stay at this wonderful cottage. The cottage is in a beautiful setting and has every convenience you need. We did two day trips to Acadia and a few days kayaking on the lake. We would definitely recommend this cottage or even go back again ourselves.

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.

Beautiful Lake Cottage
We had an amazing stay at this cottage again this summer. It has everything needed for an incredible vacation. We spent much of our day enjoying the lake. The property itself is well maintained. It has two decks that are perfect for enjoying everything nature has to offer. After watching the beautiful sunsets, we spent the evenings around the fire pit. If you stay here, you will love it!

Sun filled days & peaceful nights....
With great anticipation my husband and I pulled down the driveway to the house. As we stepped inside and faced the lake the scene took our breathe away! Later that night as the lightening bugs twinkled outside our bedroom window we knew we were in for a great visit!

Relaxing summer getaway
This property is absolutely lovely - great deck off the living room, beautiful and large dock near the water for perching and relaxing. The kitchen is bright and spacious with a gorgeous range on which to cook. Fire-pit is well-located right off the deck and the placement and layout of the outdoor space on the property was very thoughtful. Owners responded right away and were always reachable. Only regret is that we didn't book two weeks. We won't make that mistake again next year.

Perfect place to relax and enjoy nature! And be alone with your honey!
The most amazing place to unwind, recharge and reconnect with your loved ones. The view of the lake is to die for and we felt like we were in our own private honeymoon oasis! As stated by others, the bed is sooo comfortable that we got really restful sleep! And being able to fall asleep to the call of the loons - who could ask for more! Dan and Karen have thought of everything that you could possibly need for a wonderful vacation! Communication with them was excellent too! We enjoyed a fire in the firepit each evening using the firewood provided (more than enough and it burned wonderfully). I can't say enough positive things about this property, the owners and experience!

Quiet and Perfect Getaway
We could not have been more pleased with this tranquil getaway on Brewer Lake. The property is private and quiet with wonderful views of the water. Our days started with breakfast on the porch, observing the activity of loons and bald eagles on the lake. The days were spent exploring Brewer Lake, which we seemed to have all to ourselves. We enjoyed evening sunsets from the deck especially built for that purpose, prepared dinner in the well-appointed kitchen, and fell asleep in a very comfortable bedroom to the sounds of loons calling at night. It could not have been more relaxing or rejuvenating. A wonderful spot to get away for a couple. Thank you Karen and Dan for sharing your special place with us!

Gorgeous lakefront cottage
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.

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.

Fantastic location, beautiful home and grounds, impeccably maintained. Fell asleep to loons every night. Can't say enough good things about this home. The communication with the hosts was the best we've ever experienced. We'll definitely be back.

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

Great host with a perfect property for some downtime on the lake. Perfect location and the house has all the amenities you will need. Outdoor space is wonderful as was the use of their kayaks! Would definitely rent again.

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
