Everything was as promised in the property description and in notes by recent guests. The property is in a wonderful location for those interested in visiting Acadia National Park and nearby towns. It is comfortable, well maintained, well appointed, and welcoming. Our host, Amy, made it so easy for our group of four to check in and out, and to fully relax and enjoy our time together by the coast. The kitchen is set up with plenty of prep space and a full set of cookware items to support an enjoyable dining experience. We enjoyed regular sightings of deer neighbors (including 2 playful fawns), hummingbirds, and all sorts of birdlife around the home. Enjoy a short walk (and even shorter drive) to Seawall with a perfectly peaceful start or end to your day!

Amy’s place was the perfect relaxing spot on the quiet side of Acadia. We loved the comfy beds and proximity to Wonderland Trail, Bass Lighthouse, and Charlotte’s lobster pound. Across from Charlotte’s was a perfect spot to watch the sunrise over the water, away from the Cadillac Mountain crowds.

This is such a serene property. It was clean, quiet, and so relaxing. We even got to see about 20 deer through the window. It’s not super close to a lot of restaurants but definitely a restful getaway!
