My husband is very particular about the bed and he was comfortable. (This never happens) I loved sitting in the rocking chairs and enjoying the view. The pots and pans are high quality and made cooking a breeze.

Absolutely love!!

This place was AMAZING. We will absolutely be back - our kids loved it so much, they asked if we can come here every summer from now on. Perfectly located - quaint and quiet but close enough to go to Orono/Old Town or Bangor for dinner or even day trip to Ft Knox and Bar Harbor easily. And I can’t say enough about the camp - all the amenities you need but still with cozy lake comfort.

Perfect spot to relax

We all enjoyed the beautiful spot right on the water. The camp was clean and had everything we needed or wanted plus thoughtful extras (bottled water and Netflix). The hammock was a favorite spot! We will definitely be back!

Cute Quaint Lake Cabin

Owners thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and complete. The on the lake view is beautiful and relaxing. Biggest surprise was using the canoe to catch at least 15 small mouth bass. We're booking a full week next year!

Perfect spot!

This cottage is a little slice of heaven. The location is perfect if your looking to do some fishing, boating, or just relaxing. We had a great time on the kayaks and caught a fair ammount of large and small mouths. The cottage is extremely well provisioned, and you need only bring clothes and some food. Will certainly be back again!

Great vacation at a lakeside cabin in Maine

My husband and I, 2 kids, and 2 dogs had a blast spending a week here on the lake. Thank you so much for the lovely experience! The kids and pups especially loved swimming and kayaking every day and the view was just amazing! The few minor questions I had were answered immediately. Would definitely recommend!

Going Above and Beyond

We have stayed at many vacation rentals over the years. This was by far, the best experience we have had. The host (Ethan) when above and beyond in providing everything we could possibly need. In addition, the property was perfect for us. It was a wonderful place to get away and unwind.

Peaceful Retreat

The cottage is a wonderful place to get away and relax. The property is in a beautiful spot on Pushaw lake. The cottage itself is charming. It is an authentic Maine cabin but with all of the modern conveniences that we are used to. The owners stocked it with everything that we needed for our stay. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We would love to visit again sometime soon.

Beautiful, quiet setting

Despite the rain, we enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Very quiet and met some neighbors and their dog who were very nice. The cottage was nicely decorated and it seems Ethan thought of everything. The beds were comfortable and the weather was seasonable so we didn’t need any heat or a/c. The lake was very quiet post Labor Day. Will have to come back with better weather to enjoy the lake more. Highly recommend.

Amazing getaway

Cottage is very cozy and welcoming. It has everything you might need for your stay. Grill outside works perfect too. Dock and fire pit were the plus. We spend all our nights at the fire watching the sunset. Lake is very clean and warm even in mid September. Unfortunately we weren’t able to use a kayaks or canoe due to weather but I am sure we will come back another time. Also First time we watch the loon so close. Thank you.

Recommend 100%

We had a great week at this wonderful cottage on Pushaw Lake. The owners have thought of everything someone could need/want. We brought our boat and having a dock was very convenient. We fished every day and my husband caught many bass and also some pike. Two of the pike he caught were over 10lbs. There were lots of loons and eagles. The sunsets were spectacular. We hope to rent again in the future

Charming lakeside cabin

This adorable cabin had everything my husband and I needed. Beautiful lakeside view with kayaks to leisurely tour the shoreline of Lake Pushaw. We enjoyed the fire pit several nights. Ethan is a great host…. Very communicative and helpful. I had inquired before we got there about ice and he put two bags in the freezer before we got there. He also left the kitchen light on for us since we were coming in late at night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return!

Cottage on a quiet lovely lake

We stayed 4 nights and fully enjoyed all the cottage, lake and area had to offer. Easy check in to a super clean well decorated and appointed older cottage. Enjoyed the clean and quiet lake with canoes and kayaks provided. Good size fridge with porch bar fridge making it handy to all. Kitchen is for 1-2 cooks only with a BBQ nearby. Clean bathroom with shower and washer / dryer. Not sure if the tv's worked as weather was perfect to hang outside on chairs and hammock. Would highly recommend for all reasons above plus host responded right away on 2 occasions to our questions.

35th anniversary week

Ethan and Elizabeth didn’t miss a trick in making this cottage feel like our own. We drove up just as the sun set. Lake Pushaw is quiet, tranquil and everyone you meet waves hello as if they known you. The property is well-kept and everything is ready to use whether it was extra bedding or camping chairs, games or kayaks. They supplied everything - even steak seasoning for the grill. Having dinner that night facing the lake was perfect. Their info binder was clear and included ideas for trips or meals. Communication was great! Their cottage made our 35th anniversary even more special. Li & Erich- Huntington, NY

Slice of Heaven

Everything was perfect. The house was spacious, clean, and well appointed. The host was communicative and there was never a point where we thought, “oh I wish the house had this…” Nevermind the beautiful view, porch, dock, and lake. We enjoyed a few local attractions like the Orono bog walk and farmers market, and ventured into Bangor, but mostly we just cooked at the house while looking at the water. I highly recommend booking here and am grateful to the hosts for sharing their Alice of heaven.

Lazy lake time!

Enjoyed our stay on Pushaw Lake! Cozy and relaxing! Didn’t see as much sun as we’d hope but totally made the best of it by exploring the beautiful region and all of it’s glory! Nature and good food and drinks reign in the region! Our pup loved it too-very dog friendly area!
