Taylor Camp: Lakeside Log Cabin on Tunk Lake - Rents by the Week: Sun/Sun - 4 BR

The Taylor Camp is available to families who want a quiet and relaxing vacation on one of the most beautiful and private lakes in all New England. Five miles long, Tunk Lake has only 12 cabins on the southern 2/3 of the lake. The Taylor Camp is perfect for your family vacation. The cabin is a log cabin with all the conveniences of home: TV/Internet, washer/dryer, screened in porch...and much more. It just doesn't get any better than this! DownEast Magazine (June 2019) named Tunk Lake one of 32 of the most beloved "Great Ponds" in Maine each with its own character and charm.

BOOKING: The Taylor Camp is available from Mid-June through October. We still have weeks available in June, Sept & Oct 2025.

WEEKLY RATES: $1,995 (June), $2,695 (4th of July week through Labor Day week, $1,995 remaining Sept through Oct.

DISCOUNTS: In Sept/Oct, we offer a 15% discount for booking 2 consecutive weeks and will consider a minimum of 4 days. Contact us for details.

LOCAL: Ellsworth is about 30 minutes from the Taylor Camp. It includes 2 grocery store chains (Hanaford & Shaws), WalMart, Fast Food (McDonalds, Wendys, Friendly's, Taco Bell, etc), Home Depot, a Hospital, Walk-in Medical Clinic, and much more.

LOCATION: In the heart of DownEast Maine: It is less than an hour from Bangor, Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. And 30 minutes from Ellsworth where you will do most of your shopping. There is swimming, hiking, Mt. climbing, boating, fishing on Tunk Lake, and since the lake has so few cabins, boat traffic is very light.

TUNK LAKE: One of the cleanest and deepest lakes in Maine. No Jet Skis are allowed (by law). Fishing requires a license and is prohibited by law Oct-Dec.

BAR HARBOR : A beautiful old New England town and a must-see.

ACADIA NATIONAL PARK: The northeast’s only national park. Don't miss Schoodic Point which is part of Acadia National Park and is just up the coast the from the camp in the Winter Harbor area.

RESTAURANTS: There are many restaurants between Tunk Lake and Ellsworth, in the Winter Harbor area, and in Bar Harbor. There is something for everyone from all the major fast food chains (in Ellsworth) to very fine dining.

Taylor Camp
The Taylor camp was wonderful, well equipped and very clean. The property manager was very thoughtful and reached out several times to make sure we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The view of the stars from the dock was breathtaking.

An amazing stay!
This was our second stay at Taylor Cabin. The cabin is welcoming and comfortable, the lake views are beautiful, and we’ve never been anywhere more peaceful and secluded! We spent most of our time floating and kayaking on the lake or sitting on the dock just enjoying the picturesque views and the nighttime stars. Day trips to Winter Harbor, Bar Harbor, and Acadia were also highlights. Hope to return again in the future!

Pristine cabin and location
We enjoyed how thoughtfully supplied the Taylor camp is. The lake is perfect for swimming and kayaking - some of the most pleasant water ever. My kids found the location a little remote since we rarely even heard another person but the adults really loved this aspect!

Family get away
Terrific restful and private escape to the beauty of nature and crystal clears waters of Tunk Lake. We loved kayaking, canoeing, and snorkeling as well as venturing over to Acadia national park for several days of hiking. The cabin was fully stocked, clean and comfortable. The beds were comfy and the layout was perfect! Thank you!

Beautiful Lake House
Taylor Camp is on a beautiful and quiet lake that’s really the star of the show. The house is comfortable, well laid out for a family, well equipped, and nicely kept. We especially enjoyed sitting on the screen porch and listening to the loons at night. We enjoyed our stay and hope to come back at point in the future.

Amazing vacation!
The cabin is beautiful and spacious, and has everything we could have asked for. We loved the location...very quiet and secluded, but close enough to shopping, restaurants, etc. We enjoyed canoeing, kayaking, and just relaxing at the cabin; we also made several trips to Mount Desert Island for hiking, whale watching, etc. The owner was extremely helpful, answering questions before we even booked and providing a lot of info about the cabin, the area, restaurants, etc. before we arrived. Awesome time for the whole family!

Great vacation
Can’t say enough good things about this property. Jim was super easygoing through the entire process. The cabin is such an awesome property, and is far away enough but still within reason to restaurants and shopping centers. Tunk Lake is so peaceful and the views from the dock are breathtaking. Anyone looking to get away to an awesome cabin in a tranquil setting this is for you. We will most certainly be coming back!!

Just as wonderful as it sounds!
We just can't say enough of how wonderful this vacation home is and how much we enjoyed our stay. Everything is well cared for and designed with comfort and relaxation in mind. This is a very secluded private getaway with lots of opportunities to unwind and relax. The surrounding Bar harbor/Acadia area has a ton of outdoor hiking and sightseeing venues so you will never be bored. We look forward to another stay next year!

Relaxing vacation
Our family enjoyed a relaxing stay on Tunk lake. The property was roomy for our family of 5 and the location was very quiet and peaceful. We could not see any other homes from the property. We enjoyed kayaking and canoeing and hiking. Bar Harbor & Acadia National park were about 45 mins away. Jim was great and made sure we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay.

Peace and privacy
Loon chatter on the lake, the change of seasons right before our eyes, and the okay to bring our dog made this a special vacation. Such a beautiful spot with so much privacy! It felt like a real disconnect from "normal" life. Much needed and much appreciated.

Beautiful Cabin on the Lake
Beautiful clean quiet cabin on the lake. Family took out the kayaks and the canoe almost every day. Surrounded by beautiful nature. We also took a few trips to Acadia National Park. Everything was as listed and you very well taken care of for all to enjoy. Owner could not be more accommodating. Answered all questions beforehand and made sure we had all necessary information to enter the camp and enjoy our stay. Hope to return one day!
