Cabin was perfect. Nobody was in the cabins next to us which made our trip so peaceful. Lake was calm with very few boats the entire week we stayed.

Cozy lake house with beautiful view

If you are looking for a lake house with private view on the lake - you will love it. Please be aware that the house is old, there is no dishwasher or washing machine for the laundry, there is no AC, no WiFi. It didn't matter to us. The owner left enough towels, it was enough for 4 people staying for 4 nights. Kitchen appliances are working fine. Overall it was very nice vacation. Not far away from park Acadia but private. We enjoyed it.

6/10 Okay

OK for the price …. not great

Checked in to find full garbage cans, and they were never emptied during our stay. Temps got into the 80’s during our stay and the trash definitely stunk. Had no hot water for the first 24 hours of our stay. Not sure what happened, but eventually was fixed. Location is great. The little beach was perfect for our kids (2 and 7). Enjoyed the fire pit right on the water. Beds were comfortable and there was plenty of space to hang out, but REALLY need to invest in new living room furniture. Chairs are very old and uncomfortable. Liked that we were close enough to a gas station/convenience store if we really needed something. Used the grill - worked great, but was left very dirty and only supplied a scraggly old grill brush. No trash bags were supplied. Only a shower too, no tub, which is hard with a two year old. Overall, good for the price. No difference to the kids which is all that matters….

Lake Cabin

We really enjoyed our stay at the lake cabin! We loved having campfires by the lake and being able to kayak out around the small islands! The bed was super comfortable and we would love to stay again!

Nice Calm Stay

My family and I truly enjoyed ourselves. Such easy access to the water. We brought one more two person kayak so all four of us could go out on the water together. The loons were amazing, eagles, king fisher, so much to see and enjoy. We may have been lucky with a particularly quiet neighbor week and not too hot temperatures even for July. We loved the peace and quiet, thanks so much.

We lived everything about our stay! Close enough to town to grab a drink and watch some football, but secluded enough to feel disconnected! The scenery was peaceful and beautiful!

We will be back!

We loved carefree point!! It was rustic enough to feel unplugged, but provided all the amenities needed for our weekend stay! We enjoyed every minute! Coffee by a morning fire, overlooking that beautiful lake, was my favorite part! We will definitely be back, and highly recommend this beautiful spot!

We had a fantastic vacation here! The beach was perfect for our three kids to swim, and the lake was beautiful—much quieter than we expected. We spent a lot of time swimming, fishing, and even frogging, which made for some great family memories.The house itself met all of our needs and comfortably fit our family of five. We especially appreciated the newer Weber grill—it was clean and perfect for grilling dinners.That said, the house could benefit from a deeper cleaning and a little handyman attention to a few small details. The water at the fixtures wasn’t the best, but it worked fine for a camp.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would come back without hesitation!

Perfect Location

The lakefront was totally beautiful. Only 20 minutes to Ellsworth where you can get whatever you need, or go out to eat. Only 40 minutes to Acadia for some amazing hikes. It is a cabin so don't expect a luxury hotel, but it was very comfortable.

Lovely quiet get away

We were quite surprised by how far back the cabin was nestled in the beautiful Maine woods. It was a cute little cabin with running water and warm showers but the best part was the gorgeous lake just steps away with its own little beach front. We enjoyed days of swimming, fishing, and kayaking. I would recommend this cabin to anyone and hope to stay again!

Lovely weekend

We had a lovely small family weekend at Carefree Point. The owners were around and made themselves available to be helpful and also ensured that we had sufficient privacy and that we enjoyed our time. The home is beautifully simple and rustic with a slight retro flair. The beach front and the lake are glorious. We had all that we needed and really loved our time. Can't wait to return!

Quiet and Convenient!

We loved this cabin for our small family of 3. It was cozy and clean, but what stood out the most was the quiet surroundings and awesome waterfront! Our 2 year old loved walking around the cabin and along the beach and was able to do so freely without getting tripped up. The cabin had everything we needed to cook our own meals and be quite comfortable. We will definitely be visiting again!

Peaceful

This camp certainly was peaceful, being somewhat off the beaten path. Most everything we needed was there. There was heat for the cooler nights. The kitchen had all we needed to cook meals. Good location to visit other areas like Bangor or Bar Harbor. The town of Ellsworth had restaurants like Finn's and a stop at Momo's cheesecakes was very interesting.
