Property managed by One Big Sustainable IslandI really enjoyed this place and loved the wonderful atmosphere and peace. I will be back!!

Carol, thank you! We're so glad the Nautilus Waterhouse gave you the peace and atmosphere you were hoping for. A little floating cabin on Annabessacook Lake does tend to encourage that sort of thing. We'd love to welcome you back whenever you're ready for more Maine lake quiet!

Property managed by One Big Sustainable IslandArrived with my girlfriend and departed with my now fiancé! It was a perfect weekend. The floating cabin has windows all around, which give wonderful views of the lake and sunrise. The cabin size was great for the 2 of us plus our dog. The various cabins are spaced well around the island to make it feel like you have it all to yourself. So much we wanted to do, but didn’t have the time (kayaks, hammocks, sauna). This will forever be a special place for us- we’ll definitely be back!

Joseph, thank you, and congratulations! "Arrived with my girlfriend and departed with my now fiancé" may be the best review opening the Nautilus Waterhouse has ever received. We're so glad the windows did their job. Waking up to a sunrise over Annabessacook Lake from a floating cabin is a hard thing to improve upon, and it sounds like the little cabin was just the right size for two people and one dog. Spacing the stays around the island is very much on purpose. We'd rather each group feel like they've got the whole place to themselves, even when they don't. As for the kayaks, hammocks, and sauna still on your list, we consider that excellent news. It means there's plenty waiting for you next time. Thank you for letting us be part of such a big moment. We'd be honored to welcome the newly engaged pair, plus the dog, back to the island whenever you're ready!

Property managed by One Big Sustainable IslandSuch a cool experience! It felt like camping, but all essentials were provided and the cabin was cozy. The island is well equipped with firewood, drinking water, boating activities, great views, and great vibes. Kent and the staff were all friendly, helpful, and knew the area really well. It’s clear they care about their visitors having a good time. We received lots of communication about the area ahead of time so we knew what to expect. Pulling up to our own private dock by boat was really unique and exciting. Hope to visit again some day!

Jocelyn, thank you! "It felt like camping, but all essentials were provided" is a description we're very happy to live up to. That's the balance we're always aiming for at the Nautilus Waterhouse: the adventure of a night on the water, minus the part where you realize you forgot the firewood. We're glad the island had what you needed, from drinking water to boats to the views that come standard with Annabessacook Lake. Thank you as well for the kind words about Kent and the Reset Crew. They do know this lake extremely well, and they genuinely care that guests have a good time, so we'll happily pass that along. We also like hearing that the information ahead of time made arriving feel easy. And pulling up to your very own private dock by boat really is one of the better ways to check in anywhere in Maine. We'd love to welcome you back to the Nautilus some day for another stay on the water!

Response
Jacob, thank you! We're so glad the Nautilus Waterhouse treated you well. A tiny floating cabin with its own dock is a fine way to spend time on a Maine lake. Thanks for sharing a little island life with us, and we'd love to welcome you back to Annabessacook Lake!

Property managed by One Big Sustainable IslandKent is amazing and the stay was whimsy and relaxing
Response
Isaac, thank you! We're so glad the Nautilus Waterhouse delivered on both whimsy and relaxation, which is a fairly rare combination for a small cabin that floats. Thank you also for the kind words about Kent. We'd love to welcome you back to Annabessacook Lake for another stay on the water!
