Guest Reviews for One Big Sustainable Island
NatalieStayed in The Oaktagon Treehouse
Property managed by One Big Sustainable IslandEverything was absolutely perfect and just as described. The Oaktagon was spacious, had everything you needed, and had beautiful views. Stargazing was beautiful and cooking was both easy and entertaining. Kent and Heather made us feel so welcome and comfortable immediately and the entire staff was incredibly helpful, kind, and made every guest feel special and important. It definitely feels remote, but we didn’t mind! Cell service was strong across whole island. Would definitely recommend to others. Thank you guys so much for creating such a lovely getaway for people!!
Response
Natalie, thank you! "Absolutely perfect and just as described" is exactly what we hope guests find when they climb up into the Oaktagon Treehouse. We're delighted the space, the views, and the stargazing all delivered. There's something about cooking a meal up in the trees on a Maine lake that makes even simple dinners feel like an event, and we love that you found it entertaining as well as easy. Thank you also for the kind words about Kent, Heather, and the Reset Crew. Making every guest feel welcome and important is the part of island life they care about most, and we'll be sure they hear it. And yes, the island does feel genuinely remote, which is rather the point. Happily, Annabessacook Lake has decided to be remote and well-connected at the same time. Thank you for the recommendation and for such a generous note. We'd love to welcome you back to the treehouse whenever you're ready for another getaway!
SavannahStayed in Hammock Haven Dome
Property managed by One Big Sustainable IslandMe and my wife loved everything about our stay to our private little dome. It was quiet, peacefull, and more importantly it was quiet. Kent was an awesome host from when we pulled in to the last ferry ride home. All in all it was a great way to spend our wedding anniversary together
Response
Savannah, thank you! We're so glad you and your wife loved your private little corner of the island. "Quiet, peaceful, and more importantly quiet" may be the most efficient review of Hammock Haven we've ever received. We'll take it as high praise, since quiet is one of the few things Annabessacook Lake produces in unlimited quantities. Thank you also for the kind words about Kent. He does his best to make the whole arc of the stay feel easy, from the moment you pull in to that last ferry ride back to the mainland. Most of all, congratulations on your anniversary. We're honored you chose to spend it out here in Maine with us, and we'd love to welcome you both back for another one.
LauraStayed in Loon Point Tent
Property managed by One Big Sustainable IslandWe are from Maine and this was such a fun surprise place! Kent’s hospitality was remarkable- from having canoes, fishing poles, firewood ready to boat pick up and drop off- this was a very memorable few days with my son. It’s really true in his instructions - you will have everything you need. It was so quiet and secluded we didn’t even know other people were there! If you’re looking for something a little different this is it!
Response
Laura, thank you! We love hearing that lifelong Mainers can still find a surprise on a Maine lake. Kent and the Reset Crew put a lot of care into having the canoes, fishing poles and firewood ready to go, and the ferry running, so that the only thing left for you to do is step off the boat and start enjoying the island. We're glad the instructions held up and that you really did have everything you needed. And we're delighted Loon Point felt so quiet and secluded that the rest of the island apparently vanished. That's exactly the trick we're going for. Thank you for spending a few memorable days here with your son. "Something a little different" is a fine way to describe Annabessacook Lake, and we'd be happy to welcome the two of you back anytime.
Samuel MartialStayed in The Oaktagon Treehouse
Property managed by One Big Sustainable IslandThe Oaktagon was a peaceful, unique stay. The logistics of getting to the island and moving gear were stress-free and felt like a natural part of the experience. We highly recommend!
Response
Samuel, thank you! We're so glad the Oaktagon Treehouse gave you a peaceful and unique stay. We're especially pleased that getting out to the island and moving your gear felt like part of the adventure rather than an obstacle to it. Paddling your belongings across a Maine lake is, in our opinion, a much better opening to a vacation than a parking garage. Thanks for the high recommendation, and for sharing a little island life with us. We'd love to welcome you back to the treehouse!
PaolaStayed in A-Frame Acorn Abode
Property managed by One Big Sustainable IslandAmazing stay! Would do it again! A frame was so cozy, a little chilly in the morning but everything you could need was on the island. Great host as well :)
Response
Paola, thank you! We're so glad the A-Frame treated you well and that you'd do it again. Cozy is exactly what we're after, though Maine mornings do like to arrive a little crisper than the afternoons that follow. We're glad everything you needed was already waiting on the island, and we'll pass your kind words along to Kent. Thanks for spending some island time with us on Annabessacook Lake. We'd love to welcome you back to the A-Frame whenever you're ready for another stay!
