Perfect Little Lake House
Quiet house on the lake. It was so peaceful with amazing views of the lake. The house was very clean and well stocked. The center of town is short drive away with shops and great places to eat. Acadia and Bar Harbor are about a 35 minute drive away. Definitely recommend to others and would stay again.

Awesome Vacation
We absolutely loved this property - quiet location on a lake, but close enough to Bar Harbor, Acadia, and surrounding attractions. House had everything we needed with nice-sized bedrooms and full kitchen. Made good use of the firepit, grill, picnic table, and kayaks too! Would definitely stay here again.

Property is spotless. It looks recently renewed. No detailes have been overlooked. There is even an umbrella available. Nice view to the lake, and the availability of kayaks was a plus. We had a great time. Strongly recommend it.

Quiet with beautiful views
This house was a cozy and quiet home base for our trip to Acadia. We had everything we needed for our family of four with easy access to stores and restaurants. The trip into the park was quick and easy. The private dock, kayaks and fire pit made this feel like a park experience with all the creature comforts you could want.

We came here for a family vacation and absolutely loved it. The house is everything you would expect and more. Being on the lake was very peaceful and relaxing. The house itself was very clean. Open concept made it easy to talk to everybody in the house. we spent a lot of time at Acadia national park. We had an absolutely awesome time. Thank you Suzi and Jason for your wonderful hospitality.

Wonderful view, lovely home
My husband and I spent a relaxing weekend by the lake here and felt like it was such a quiet retreat. Everything was decorated and the views were spot on -- plus the red Adirondack chairs arrayed by the firepit were super inviting. We'd definitely stay here again.

Charming Lakehouse
We enjoyed a couple of nights in this charming home. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was a nice size for preparing meals. We relaxed by the fire and enjoyed the view of the lake. All 4 of us are coffee and wine drinkers so a larger coffee pot and at least 4 wineglasses would have made it perfect.

Pleasant Stay
We had a pleasant stay at Leonard Lake. What was great was the place was well equipped with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. From the kitchen pots and pans to the outdoor chairs. The lake was beautiful and having use of the firepit was great. The only issue we had was the acorns dropping from the oak trees at night on the roof, which kept us awake and we came away with a few dents on the hood of our car. It would have been helpful if we were warned about the acorns. In the fall guests should back in and park more on the right of the house to avoid most of the acorns.

The view was beautiful of the lake. The home was extremely clean and had everything that we needed. I took advantage of the kayaks and just drifted on the lake drinking Champagne. Town is a mile away so it was an easy walk. Best lobster restaurant at end of street. Loved this gem

lovely view in a quiet neighborhood
No close neighbors. Great windows - felt like being in the woods. Loved the lighted make-up mirror in the master bedroom. Beds were very comfortable. Quick drive to town. Close to other attractions such as Bar Harbor. Well stocked with supplies with 2 exceptions. A box of Kleenex is always helpful. And there was a shortage of hangers for our clothes. Both bedrooms have window air conditioners. But the one in the master bedroom has flimsy and poorly fitting barriers on either side of the a.c. and doesn't keep out the bugs or the cool weather very well. Was looking forward to using the kayaks, but access to the lake to launch them was problematic. Communication with property management was mostly easy and smooth. Did try to put the trash out for collection Sunday night for Monday a.m. pick up as instructed. We saw the garbage truck come and empty the other trash cans, but not ours. Contacted management and were told that they would take care of it, but did not. Finally, be aware that the street is very rough and very narrow. A lot of trucks were going down the street at a high rate of speed.
