Awesome cabin in beautiful schoodic lake. We had a great time and everything was easy with the property manager. Only downside was the security system cameras were on and active during our stay which left a feeling of distrust and breach of privacy. Despite this, would stay here again.
This was our first visit and will not be our last. All we did was swim, kayak, eat, relax in the sun, and sleep! Most restful vacation in quite some time.
This is at least the 5th time our family has stayed at this lovely cabin that feels like a second home…right on the shore of our favorite lake. This year was even more special as it was my grandson’s first time! Schoodic Escape is spacious, well appointed, and comfortable. Communication with the owner is always flawless and prompt. The surroundings are beautiful and we enjoy sipping coffee in the morning looking over the lake and cocktails in the evening while playing dominoes at the large kitchen table. Already booked next year!
We love it here at Schoodic Lake the house is beautiful and perfect for my family! It’s not far from my aunt Cindy Davis who lives on the lake view side of Schoodic lake so we just take are 4wheeler through the trails by Wildwood and go visiting! There are some many trails by us to ride on my family and I enjoy are trip to Maine every year and we are already booked for next year!!! Can’t wait to come back next year and for years to come!! Thank you so much for allowing us to use your home every year we come up!!!
Had a wonderful and relaxing time. The lake was terrific, swimming lots of fun, and it was sooo quiet! Recommend this place to anyone who appreciates spending time on a beautiful lake in the north woods…
We had a wonderful time at this house on Schoodic lake. Very clean like that we enjoyed swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding and also caught smallmouth bass. Inside the house was clean and equipped especially in the kitchen and bathroom. Overall it was an amazing vacation with my family.
The cabin is literally right at a lake. In the morning we saw an otter and a pair of loons. I went up there to have a birthday weekend escape and to see the total eclipse. We had a wonderful time.
The lake house is the best we have ever stayed at. It is the perfect location. The house is well-equipped, super clean and gorgeous. The lake is clear, clean (no weeds) and quiet. It is great for swimming, kayaking, or just sitting on the deck or dock and enjoying the view. Would love to return again.
Wonderful week. Every day was warm and sunny, with most days in the 80’s. Amazing being it’s mid September. The lake was as refreshing as ever. The camp internet did work very well too. All said an excellent trip indeed…

It is ok, a bit out of the way. Too far for us to travel to. We should have checked before boking. We did relax, really nothing else to do. We did have a dead mouse (stink) before we left, and the vacuum cleaner needs some work. One chair needed gluing so we couldn't use it. Other than that it was ok. Good for hunters or fishermen. Please add a clock or two and maybe a washer and dyer. Still nice.
This cabin was perfect for my family of 4 and 2 dogs! We swam and fished while also exploring Bangor and the little town of Milo. It wasn't as secluded as I thought it was, there other cabins around. But the people across the street were friendly and no one was staying in the one next to us so it worked out. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for sharing your cabin with us :)
This was our 2nd summer vacation spent at Schoodic Escape. We already booked for another 10-days for next July. Great cabin & lake to relax and unwind. We brought our 16’ boat this year which made the trip that much better. We cruised the lake, tubed & found “our spot” where we anchored & swam. If you don’t have a boat bring kayaks to explore the lake & tubes to just chill on the water. There’s a Tradewinds grocery store not too far away to grab all your groceries, alcohol & essentials. If you’re looking for a lakefront cabin retreat you will not be disappointed with Schoodic Escape.
We enjoyed our stay very much. Our favorite part was the fireplace and the wildlife around the lake. We watched otters playing on the frozen lake in the morning for 3 days and it was wonderful! The only downside was the lack of hiking trails and restaurants nearby. It was no fault of the host, but the area is pretty isolated. Two of the restaurants the host listed were permanently closed. Regardless we enjoyed cooking at the house. It’s a great place to gather as a family and we loved that it was pet friendly. Our dog loved watching the lake and playing in the snow! The host was friendly, quick to respond and handled check in very smoothly. We would gladly come again!

The property was as described. Alarm was not disarmed when we entered the property so we did have the police arrive shortly after we did. Everything was clean, plenty of firewood, kitchen had everything you could need. Wifi worked great for streaming all week. Livingroom furniture could be updated for more comfort and curtains could be added. The train took a little getting used to but not a big deal. Getting on to the ice from the house with a UTV was not ideal but possible. We enjoyed our stay.
My family had an awesome time and we enjoyed every time we stay at this beautiful place!! We can’t wait to go back next year!! I’ve been coming to Maine ever since I was a young kid and my family have roots here at Schoodic lake and I want my family to have the best vacation like I always did !! Thank you for sharing your home with my family!!!
We had a wonderful stay. It was very peaceful. We enjoyed the beautiful setting and kayaking on the lake. Plenty of privacy and excellent views of the lake from inside. Very clean as well. Thank you for a great stay!
