Talley Cottage on Graham Lake

Stay at Talley Cottage and experience the quiet and calm of Maine lake life with the location to explore Acadia national park when you want to. Walk along the shore, or take the canoe or kayaks for a paddle on the lake. Sit around the fire and relax and watch the sunset. There is no better place to escape to. Please note, Graham Lake is a dam controlled lake, so in dry summer months it is often low, leaving much more shore between the house and the lake. See pictures for example.
