Spectacular lake retreat

The house provided more than enough space for 5 adults. It's a great place to unplug and relax! The lake is spectacular! It's quiet and clear. During our late September stay, the trees were peak autumn colors. Gorgeous! On clear evenings, gazing up at the stars was magical. It's a wonderful place to have fun with family and friends. -- fishing, kayaking, hiking, eating, laughing, toasting/burning marshmallows for s'mores. Away from the lake house, there's no shortage of things to do or places to eat in the Ellsworth area.

Family Vacation

The house and property was as described absolutely beautiful. The lake was gorgeous. We had a wonderful time staying here. We enjoyed being lakeside starting with a cup of coffee in the morning to kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming the rest of the day. The house was fully stocked with everything you needed from kitchen supplies to linens and games. My family would love to stay here again in the future.

Special Location

Our family of 5 stayed at Camp Lindsay for seven nights and had a relaxing, comfortable and amazing time. Water activities galore! We kayaked to a large rock that we could jump off, up a creek to a beaver dam, to blueberry island to pick fresh blueberries (which we put into our pancakes the next morning), among many other places. Our boys (5, 8, 10) practically lived on the floating island. I was able to get some solitude and kayak by myself around sunset and had a loon pop up next to me and sing while a bald eagle flew above and perched on a branch about 40 feet away. Anytime we left the camp, mostly to explore beautiful Acadia national park, I regretted leaving the home. The home is clearly loved by her owners. Many personal touches and a lot of personality. The home was also well stocked, which is always appreciated. Angela was responsive and always kind.

Perfect summer getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at this camp. Just right-sized for family. The lake is exceptionally clean and welcoming all summer water activities: swimming, kayaking, paddle-boarding - we did that daily and never got bored. Acadia is just under an hour drive away. We'll definitely be back.

Awesome Lake front Camp

The camp was amazing. It was extremely clean, spacious, lake front and had lots of extras like swimming dock, canoe, kayaks & paddle boards. The kitchen had everything we needed for when we choose to cook there.. and it was was within a 30 minute drive to most attractions we went to. We loved it!

Perfect!

Couldn’t have been happier with the location and host. Beautiful very private lake property with everything needed for a wonderful relaxing vacation. We sat by the campfire almost every night and made S’mores, listened to the loons and elk calling out in the evenings, and took the boat out exploring and fishing. The host was responsive and genuinely cared about our experience. The next trip to Maine will definitely be here!

Great summer retreat

Our first time renting this home and have no regrets. The house is beautiful and very well stocked. We made lobster rolls that were served in the cute lobster plates. We kayaked and canoed and ended the day by the fire pit. We are looking forward to coming back next year!

We rented this home for our first destination family get together with my now grown up kids and their boyfriends. It was simply lovely. The location could not be more perfect. You are literally right next to the lake. The owner is wonderful to work with. All of the positive reviews speak for how perfect this destination in Maine is.

Great week on the lake

We had an amazing week at Angela's place in Ellsworth, ME. This house had everything we needed. We were very impressed with their attention to detail. It was more than enough space for our family of 5 and Golden Retriever. The beds are comfortable and so is the giant sectional upstairs! The lake was warm and clean. Our kids loved jumping off the swim platform and we loved taking the kayaks all around the islands. There is so much space at the waterfront. It was easy to read a book in the chaise lounge and watch the kids while they swam. Good fishing for bass/sunfish. The firepit was a family favorite as well. About a 20 min ride into town if you need groceries or take out. Many fantastic options for take out and outdoor dining. Thank you for sharing your home.

Outstanding Lakefront Experience

When I think of a cabin on a Maine lake, this is exactly what comes to mind. Easily accessible from either Rte 1 in Bucksport or Rte 1A in Ellsworth. A beautiful home on a tranquil lake with plenty of privacy, Camp Lindsay provided everything my family could have wanted in a Maine vacation getaway. Our two boys loved playing on the beach, floating around in the water and swimming to the raft. Our two dogs enjoyed lounging on the docks and watching the occasional boat go by. The waterfront is the perfect combination of sun and shade so that we could enjoy the hot days in the water without feeling like we were roasting. All the bases are covered for fun in the water including kayaks, SUPs, canoe and floats. So much fun. The house had everything we needed in terms of amenities and so much luxurious space. If you like to cook while on vacation, this is your kitchen, not to mention grilling outside. Angela and Michael were incredibly attentive to our needs and provided timely responses to what must have seemed like a million questions. We can vouch for the fact that the cellular signal is incredibly strong and that the hotspot we brought with us was enough to handle the one online meeting that couldn't be avoided. We look forward to returning and highly recommend Camp Lindsay to anyone looking for a beautiful, peaceful getaway. Thank you!

Beautiful Maine lake house

This was one of our favorite rental houses we've visited. The lake the house was on is so beautiful, and the hosts had fishing poles, kayaks, paddle boards and a canoe available for us to use. All of the welcoming touches were so appreciated, including wood and kindling in the fire pit set up perfectly for our first bonfire.

Great place for an escape!

My husband, two furry, four-legged kids and I really enjoyed our stay. It's nestled in on a great spot on the lake and has everything you would need for an escape from the real world! It's about an hour-ish drive to Acadia which was nice! Highly recommend and hope we can make it back sometime in the future!

Amazing Stay!

The property and house are perfect! Spotless, comfortable, quiet, cabin-like but with every modern convenience. This rental has everything needed for a relaxing vacation and for recreation on the lake. The lake is clean and beautiful. The stars at night are amazing to behold. We spent many hours canoeing, sitting by the fire pit, throwing a stick into the lake for the dog and sleeping soundly. We also spent time at Acadia but were soooo happy to return to the lake house. If you rent it, you will want to buy it to have it for your own! Many thanks to the owners for this fabulous experience and vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Shoreline Vacation Homes

We are an American family who has lived oversees for the last 8 years and recently moved back to the US to Connecticut. My husband grew up in New England and I grew up in California. We have 2 sons and 2 dogs and enjoy spending time traveling the world.

Why they chose this property

I chose this home as part of my husbands dream to own on this lake. He grew up renting a camp on Branch Lake and has fond memories of fishing with his father and grandpa. I had little experience on this lake but ended up buying this house and remodeling it without my husband ever seeing it! Talk about pressure. The good news is he loves it as much as I do and our 11 year old son thinks it is "the bomb".

What makes this property unique

The lake is the centerpiece of this home but I must say I have created a cozy and fully functioning home with a "cabin" type charm. One of the benefits is that it is a split level home with 2 masters so very convenient to vacation with friends or family. Downstairs has 1 queen, 1 double and 1 single bed to sleep 5, upstairs has 1 king, 1 double and 1 single to also sleep 5. There is a huge reclining sofa upstairs that could easily accommodate a couple more kids...
