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.

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.

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!

Lovely and peaceful
Taylor Camp is the perfect spot for those seeking a serene space to enjoy the natural beauty of Maine. The house was clean and comfortable, felt roomy even for our large group, and was equipped with everything we needed - stocked kitchen, excellent laundry, games and puzzles, kayaks w/ PFDs, a grill, comfortable beds, large closets, lots of hooks for hanging things, a fabulous screened porch, and much else I'm forgetting to mention. Tunk Lake is a treasure. Great hiking nearby, and we also made several trips to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The owner provided great information prior to our trip and was helpful after arrival as well. We feel fortunate that we found the Taylor Camp for our family trip to Maine.

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!!

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 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!

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!

Peace and plenty
Came with family and found this vacation rental to be one of the best I have stayed at in the last 25 years. It is comfortable while remaining stylish. The kitchen is well stocked for meal preparation. The porch is large and a great place to read and unwind. I especially loved the time spent on the lake in the canoe provided. It was so private, quiet and peaceful. I had my two year old grandchild and was a little concerned about safety but the Taylor cabin was thoughtfully prepared for little ones with latch locks on the porch and a baby gate for the stairs. The cabin is in close proximity to Winter Harbor and Acadia Schoodic Peninsula which is a lot quieter than the main park and every bit as beautiful. Nearby is Chippers restaurant and the food is excellent though it's more a place for adult and not children (make reservations). The lobster pounds close by offer a good variety of seafood and the prices are low. We had everything that we needed at this cabin and it was hard to end our two week vacation! I really didn't want to leave. I deeply appreciate the Taylor's sharing their family retreat with travelers.

We absolutely loved our stay at this amazing place. This cabin is so clean, cozy and quiet. Jim definitely thought of everything to make our stay perfect. We took long walks in the evening where all we could hear was the loons and the owls, pure relaxation. We loved taking the canoe out where the view of the mountains was just beautiful, and the feeling of peace and calm was like no other. We will forever hold this special place in our hearts.
