The location of this property is truly spectacular! Branch Lake is a perfect location for a family retreat and is very beautiful and serene. We loved having direct water access and a sand beach very close by, in addition to convenient access to Acadia and scenic coastal towns. Everything is Ellsworth is between 20-30 minutes away (and Ellsworth is full of great restaurants and things to do!), so it’s a great balance of secluded without being too isolated. Both homes (lake cottage and main house in the woods) are really beautiful and well-suited for sizable groups. We loved the gas fire pits outside at each house and the canoe, kayak, and paddle boat. Jessica, the property manager, was also awesome and very responsive via text and in person when we had questions or issues arose. Both houses did have some fan available for use, but we found that in warmer weather in peak summer, bringing extra fans with if you are able was helpful for air circulation in the lake cottage and the upper floors of the main house. Beds are very comfy and we felt the kitchens were well stocked with cooking amenities. We would definitely consider returning if future trips bring us to Maine!
