Would recommend
Stayed with our kids ages 3-17. Very clean - which is a big one for me. Well equipped kitchen. Location was good. Very accessible to the main Acadia entrance, and the owner's book gives other suggestions of places to explore and restaurant suggestions as well. No a/c, which I think is pretty typical, but plenty of fans in the house. I would recommend this property and stay in it again.

Cape Lookout is fantastic. Location is superb and the owner was more than accommodating. We had a large family group in and out all day. The beach was fantastic and the proximity to Bar Harbor, restaurants, min-golf, etc. could not be better. Simply a great experience--highly recommended!

Most peaceful porch on the planet
Loved this little chalet. Had everything we needed and the communication with Peter was excellent. Can’t believe all the mussels we collected right off our beach - what a feast! We had two bald eagles as neighbors that were around regularly. It was perfect to rent with The Overlook up the way, and it was safe and close enough that my little nieces could come down to visit on their own. My teenage daughter also asked me to mention the fuzzy blankets, the fans and heaters, and that the toilet paper was excellent. 😊 We would definitely stay again.

Beware of the Basement!
The Cape Lookout home was perfect, and we enjoyed our stay EXCEPT for the basement! The basement is where the 4th bedroom and 2nd bathroom are located and there is a severe mildew/mold problem that needs to be addressed professionally. Air fresheners are not the answer. We shared our concerns with Peter immediately and continued to communicate with him daily and he claimed that he could never smell the odor and the previous guests did not mention anything. He came into the home several times during the week to inspect the basement, but he claimed to never be able to smell anything but the air freshener. On Thursday, I started to wonder if Peter was being disingenuous with us. And sure enough I found a review on the “other rental website” from November 2022 complaining of the same mold odor. At this point I knew he was a dishonest person and I stopped communicating with him, he obviously didn’t care. What he does care about is reviews because low and behold on Friday Peter sent a text stating that “he thought something might be wrong with his sense of smell” and “he would be the next person staying there and he could take a closer look”. Peter, you should educate yourself on the dangers of mildew! Mildew is a type of mold that can cause health issues, especially for those with allergies or respiratory problems.

Comfortable and Serene
House was very comfortable, and well-supplied. The property was serene and private; we never saw any other people, just the white-tailed deer. Excellent kitchen, and plenty of room for everyone inside and outside (deck, fire pit) the house.

A slice of heaven while close to everything!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay from the amazing waterviews and private location to the access to Acadia and downtown within a short 10 minute drive. The owner checked in with us upon arrival to ensure that we had everything we needed. The house was fully appointed with a well stocked kitchen(utensils, appliances, cookware and more). We would definitely stay here again with our adult children. Thank you for this fantastic listing (even better than the current photos depict).
