Our cute little A-frame sleeps 2 people comfortably. It comes with its own outdoor kitchen, grill and outdoor bathroom, with a hot shower and composting toilet. There is cell phone service here as well. You will also enjoy your own private waterfront space with free kayak use, hammocks and firepit with complimentary fire wood. The lake does not have a sandy bottom, so you might want to bring water shoes. We are located about halfway between Bangor and Ellsworth. The Mini is a perfect spot for day trips to the coast. Just a 15 minute ride to Bangor where you will find many local breweries, restaurants, concert venue, theaters, shopping and night life. We are only an hour away from beautiful Mount Desert Island. Our area has abundant small wildlife. We regularly see rabbits, geese, ducks, beaver, eagles, osprey and of course loons. Kayak over to our private island where there are blueberries, and a mating pair of eagles. Paddle over, have lunch, pick some blueberries for your morning cereal, go for a swim. You could also kayak through the thoroughfare to Holbrook Pond. The site is small, just 1 acre and we do live very close by. You will have privacy, but you may hear or see us or our dogs at points during your stay. We will provide a few jugs of water, but you may want to bring some of your own. Cookware, plates, cups, utensils, and cooler are available for use.The Mini is a tiny A-frame, it has a full size bed with clean sheets, blankets and pillows. There is an outside kitchen area with gas grill, a Coleman stove and a cooler. Cookware, plates, cups, utensils and a coffee press are also provided. There is a picnic table and a fire ring with complimentary firewood. Two kayaks are available for your use along with life jackets. Our home is next door within site. We do have two small dogs that may bark at you with excitement, but they are very friendly. We find it very quiet, peaceful and serene here on the pond

Dreamy spot by the lake!

The Lakeside Mini is SUCH a special place! Cyndy and Amy were extremely helpful and informative and responded quickly to questions. They are excellent hosts. The spot itself is absolutely dreamy. The sleeping A-frame is so cozy and comfortable, the "kitchen" area is full of supplies you might need, and the eating area is covered and offers a filtered view of the lake. THEN walk down the cute boardwalk to the lakeside firepit and you'll realize the star of the show is the lake! It's right there. There are two kayaks and life jackets you can use, as well as multiple spots to sit and even two hammocks to relax on the peninsula. I had the most magical time and didn't want to leave! Loons calling and kayaking out to see the eagles' nest were hightlights. I will definitely be back to this little slice of heaven- the hard work and care that has been put into this land is very evident. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Adorable spot and lovely hosts.

We had a lovely time in the Mini. The rain was a bummer when we first arrived, but the picnic table was perfectly covered by a canopy and the Mini was dry. Once the sun came out later on, we had an amazing time swimming and boating and reading by the lake. It's a very charming little spot, and the hosts were super friendly and accommodating.

Lovely solo trip outside of Bangor

I loved my stay at the mini on Cyndy and Amy’s land! I wish I would have had an extra night to explore the pond on their kayak but I really loved swimming with the time I had. Also, as a solo female traveller I felt very safe and I would very much like to book again in the future if I ever find myself in Maine ✨

We loved camping here! The space was beautiful and the hosts were lovely. The kayak trip we took was amazing and we got to see the eagle nest. Highly recommend.
