"We truly enjoyed our stay at your home. It is very spacious and light. We loved
going down to the lake and taking pictures of the sunrise. It must be hard for
you not to want to live there year round. Since it is very private, it was perfect
for our getaway. It helped that it was almost peak fall colors for us. We would
be happy to come back with our family.
Thanks for sharing."

Great property on an amazing deep water lake. This
house is a welcome change to the typical lake
house. The design is very welcoming and the layout
is both convenient and comfortable. The linens are
like those found at a 5 star hotel. The lake will
provide you with hours of clean swimming with fish
kissing your feet. There is a nice rock that you can
canoe to if you want a higher jump than the dock
provides. The house is convenient to Acadia which
offers great hiking and dining options are endless.
We went to Bar Harbor and went on a whale watch
and had two humpbacks play with the boat for over
an hour. Thanks for everything. |

| Beautiful home on a beautiful lake in a beautiful area...from seeing an eagle with outstretched talons grabbing a fish to seeing loons stare at you then take their deep dives all while kayaking peaceful branch lake to purchasing lobsters and preparing them at home... fine dining on the beautiful outdoor deck after a day's biking J.D.Rockefeller's carriage roads and hiking in Acadia to boating on Bar Harbor...thank you for the memories....from Ellsworth to Mt. Desert Island..Best to whoever follows...you will not be disappointed |

| We stayed here in July and can't stop thinking about this amazing house! The house is well designed and well furnished. Exactly as described. We rented kayaks and a canoe from a local outfitter which allowed us to really explore the lake. Everything was perfect! |

We were fortunate to stay in this house from
October 12 through October 18, 2008. The leaves
were at peak color, and we enjoyed numerous walks
through the woods and to the water.
The house looks exactly as it does in the photos,
and has a really nice, comfortable, generous floor
plan. All the amenities you could ask for are there,
so cooking a great meal or doing your laundry is
easy! The many windows provide great light and
views of the beautiful woods and lake. The house
has nice hardwood floors and tile bathroom floors.
It's proximity to Acadia National Park, Ellsworth,
Blue Hill and Bar Harbor make it fast and easy to go
off on an adventure.
We loved bringing home lobster for dinner! We
also rented canoes and enjoyed Branch Lake so
much--and my granddaughter and I had tea early
every morning on the nice boat dock.
There were also games available to play with family,
and we even did a Hula-Hoop show in the
basement!
This is a great place to enjoy in the fall, and I bet it
would be fantastic in the summer also! Thanks for
sharing it with us. |

| My husband and I stayed at the house for a week in early fall and it was amazing. The house is so comfortable and the location is perfect -- far enough away from the real world for total relaxation -- and close enough to restaurants, coffee shops and grocery stores. We also spent several days hiking in Acadia. We couldn't have found a better place to enjoy our 10th anniversary and can't wait to come back. |

| my husband and i stayed in this house with two other couples in august 2008. we loved the property and had a great time! branch lake is beautiful - very peaceful, and it's the perfect spot to swim, fish and kayak. we had great weather and sat out on the dock every day. the house itself is fabulous. it's the perfect size for 6 people, it's extremely clean, and the amenities are superb. the layout is great (loved the central location of the kitchen) and we had almost all of our meals out on the porch. it looks exactly as it does in the pictures. the owner was very helpful and made the entire process effortless for us. i would highly recommend this property - you will love it! and don't forget to check out acadia! |

To quote our three children, "It was AWESOME." The kids loved the dock and lake. They swam, fished and explored for hours. It was hard to drag them away to site see. This house was perfect for enjoying the true Maine experience; outdoors, water and relaxation.
The kitchen was perfect for cooking a wonderful lobster dinner.
There was lots of room in the house even when all six of us were in there together.
The caretakers were very responsive and friendly. They met all our needs.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with us. We would recommend it to all friends and family and hope to return again. |

Crisp,clean lines help define this lovely modern home. An abundance of windows allows the beauty of trees, sky, light, and lake to grace the home's interior.
My family of five loved our stay. The home afforded a close proximity to our favorite destinations throughout DownEast Maine and Acadia.
Very responsive owner and caretaker.
We would definitely recommend this "best house on the lake." |

Great house, beautiful aspect.
The house is very well equipped and the amenities superb. Really was like staying home from home. My son loved the place and we also went swimming in the lake despite it only having melted 4 days beforehand - very invigorating. I can only imagine that the property is even more desirable in the peak seasons, but even in Spring it was stunning. Caretakers were excellent and very responsive when asked. Will be staying again. |

What You See, Is What You Get.
Searching for a place in Maine that met our criteria:
* Waterfront view/dock/privacy in the woods.
* Close to Acadia
* Easy distance to restaurants
* Fireplace / Family room (for rainy days)
... the Lake House on Branch Lake was just the ticket. Also, from the websites, know that what you see is exactly what you get. All the conveniences you hope for, set deep in the woods about 15 minutes from Ellsworth on Branch Lake.
The owner made thoughtful decisions about the house and it's amenities that you will appreciate once on site. Caretakers are a delight and also very attuned to your privacy.
You won't find a better situation in this location, so stop searching, pack a few things and go. Everything you need is there.

| Lovely house on Branch Lake near a small beach...we went swimming almost every day. Great location for exploring Belfast to Bar Harbor.If you have modern tastes (as opposed to Country with a K)then this is the house for you. |

Thank you so much for the nice house and beautiful environment. We had a great time in Maine.
As you know, it is our first vacation renting a house instead of staying in a hotel. My kids had a lot of fun running around, and playing in front of the big sliding doors. My parents was enjoying their morning exercise at the lake front. And I do love having a very convenient kitchen during vacation.
Your house is such a well designed piece of art that brings all the nice environment in, yet includes a lot of detailed life consideration. It made us love the contempory houses even more (but hard to find in Boston area). It feels so good to be able to feel like at home during vacation... We will probably say byebye to hotels in the future. :)
