Nature lovers paradise! Loved the double sunrooms. Used them everyday to spot wildlife. Harbor seal, ducks and foxes come to the cove daily. Red foxes early in morning run through the yard. Harbor seal and ducks all day eating in the cove. Chipmunk came up to us while sitting in the chairs overlooking the water. Beach access was used daily to explore the rocky beach and walk in the cold water. Bring binoculars - you will need them if you take a wildlife cruise in town. House very clean and comfortable and I am picky. Host accommodated extra days that I added mid stay because we didn’t want to leave and gave a discount! BBQ pit works well. My family of 3 will stay here again when we come back to Maine. The house can accommodate many more people as the couches in sunrooms are also beds.

The house sits beautifully between a nice yard and the water. We spent a good amount of time sitting in the chairs that abut the cove. The kitchen was very functional and all the furniture was comfortable to sit on. It was very peaceful and only minutes away from Acadia Park. We enjoyed the coffee bar that was set up next to the bedrooms. We even saw a red fox in the road in front of the house.

This was the perfect “Maine” house located on the water in a beautiful, quiet and serene setting. The house is so well appointed and had everything we needed. We loved all the touches of Maine throughout the house. Our favorite place in the house was upstairs with a great view of the water…complete with a coffee and tea bar! Outside, you will find 4 Adirondack chairs by the water. The location was perfect, allowing us to be in downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park in 10 - 15 minutes. Jacqueline is easily available and quick to answer any questions about the area.

We could not say enough great things about this stay! It was the perfect home base for us to explore Acadia National Park. We enjoyed bonfires by the water, played games around the table, and had amazing views from the large windows. We had 5 adults and there was more than enough room for everyone! It was decorated so cute. Had everything we needed and more! Would stay again in a heartbeat.

In the words of my 13 year old, our stay was, “Charming & beautiful!” In the words of my 9 year old, our stay was, “So amazing! It made me feel so cozy and welcomed! Great for adults and kids!” In the words of my husband, the property was, “Absolutely stunning!” I couldn’t agree more with my family. The property is perfect for a family of 4. The home is a nice mix of classic New England and modern updates. From the backyard, we marveled at the beautiful sunsets, enjoyed bird watching, and gazed in wonder at the stars. We enjoyed walking down to the beach. The property is the perfect spot to explore Acadia as it is very close to Acadia and Bar Harbor, but tucked away from the commotion and people.

The grille and outdoor eating area had amazing views and was very comfortable.Loved being in the backyard. We made s’mores one night in the fire pit. After long hikes in Acadia we put our feet in the cold water. Our boys loved to skip stones along the shore.The house always stayed cool and comfortable, especially for a charming, stately home.Would definitely recommend the property, and will check its availability first on return trips.
