We had a great time at this home. It was in a convenient location and the use of the kayaks was great. The property is well maintained and beds were very comfortable. We cooked often and had all the kitchen essentials. The property owner and his wife were very helpful with tips on good local restaurants. We had a breakdown with our vehicle but a local garage Balzarini Boyz Automotive were able to get us back in the road in no time.

Fantastic Property and Great Owner!

My family and I spent a week in this quiet home right on a bay. We enjoyed fires by the water, the beautiful accommodations and very responsive owner. We were thrilled with the property and my wife and I agreed that it was one of the more relaxing vacations we have ever had. My 7 year old loved it too.

Amazing family vacation!

Overall loved this property. We enjoyed being near Acadia but far enough away to be away from the crowds. Drive into Acadia wasn't bad, and the ferry from winter harbor to bar harbor was also easy and enjoyable! The property is on the water so make sure to bring mosquito spray and warm clothes as the evenings got cold but enjoyable.

A secluded paradise!

Our family had such a memorable time while staying at this house. We drove the hour long drive to Acadia Nat’l Park/Bar Harbor area twice even though our young adult sons would have been happy to meet the days high tide on the bay in the kayaks. The views at Acadia, Schoodic Peninsula and from the living area in the house were all beautiful. Phil and Kim were great and we would love to stay here again!
