Holiday rentals in Branch Lake

The apartment treehouse was absolutely pretine. It was decorated beautifully. The kitchen had everything we needed. Jennifer and Robert even included local blueberry jam and l honey, which we used on our toast every morning. There were plenty of towels, and the apartment included a washer and dryer. The location was perfect, no traffic noise, just the sounds of a variety of birds, and the tall trees swaying in the breeze. We were able to open the windows and get a breeze in the apartment. They have a new air and heat system in the apartment. We did not need the heat, we did use the air the last night we were there, it worked well. We will definitely stay here again!

Overall, we had a very peaceful and smooth stay at this beautiful cabin! We found it with no troubles, hosts were very responsive, and the boats and board games were nice touches. We had a few minor issues (coffee container was empty and firewood costs were a bit steep), but we’d recommend the cabin and would love to come back.

This is the first stay I have had where the listing matched EXACTLY - which was nice! It was easy to find, quaint, and quiet. Even though it poured for our entire stay we were able to enjoy the artisan bread and sit on the porch watching the goats play. Start to finish, this booking was exactly the experience one wants from a host and the AirBnB experience!

I cannot say enough great things about our stay here. The outdoor shower is absolutely incredible; so well crafted! If you’re looking at the listing and hesitant to book due to the toilet situation - don’t be! It was cleaner than quite a few other places we’ve stated that had “real” bathrooms. The cabin itself had everything we needed and more (comfortable bed, extra blankets, anything you’d need to cook simple meals, etc.). Everything was very clean and the rules & checkout instructions were very clear, which was great because that is definitely not always the case when you book a place. Bethany is a gracious and responsive host and the area is incredible. If you’re looking for a place in this area, I highly recommend staying here if it’s available for your dates!

The house was very clean and looked just like the pictures. All of the beds were very comfortable. This Airbnb had the most well stocked kitchen and bathrooms I’ve ever been in. Plenty of seasonings for cooking and the bathrooms had first aid kit, menstrual products, soap and shampoo. We didn’t need to purchase anything. There was even dishwasher pods and laundry detergent. Outdoors was wonderful, it was so peaceful and quiet.

This Airbnb was amazing! So quiet and right on the water. Stunning views (an amazing sunrise every day). Inside is a little rustic but very comfortable. Cute little fire pit area next to the water in the yard. The lake is so clear and looked amazing, it was just a bit cold for an October swim. The layout is great and was very spacious for two but I could see sharing it with a couple. The drive to Arcadia and Bar Harbor was manageable and easy, lots of cute quaint Maine small town charm from Ellsworth to Bar Harbor. We’ll be returning for another visit.

I had a lovely visit with a good friend. The air bnb stood out to us because of how beautiful the photos were and they didn’t do the place justice. It was so nice to stay in a place that felt like it was cut from a magazine. The home is in a private space but not far from restaurants and other towns with cute shops. We were close to lots of hiking trails and coastlines. I am quite sure I’ll be back!

This house was amazing—hosts really have thought of everything when it comes to guest experience! Kayaking out to the tiny islands in the bay a couple times allowed us to see horseshoe crabs and bald eagles up close. The fire pit was great and the “s’mores station” with supplies in the kitchen upon arrival was so cute and thoughtful. Our three kids loved this place and didn’t want to leave at the end of the week. Our boys especially loved the lower level game room with ping-pong, arcade games, and pop-a-shot. The kids also loved reading on the sofa in the upstairs loft overlooking the kitchen. The kitchen is well stocked and we cooked dinner there a couple times during the week. The hosts gave great local recommendations as well—the craft beer at Fogtown Brewing in Ellsworth (less than 15-min. drive) is excellent, and it is very kid-friendly with a large outdoor eating area and wood-fired pizza. We’d love to return to this house! Mosquitoes are fierce so bring bug repellent.
