What a wonderful, magical place! Everything you could want or need was there and the house was so clean, and it felt like home away from home. Would absolutely recommend to others and will be back the next time in Maine. Mary, the host, was wonderful and easy to communicate with. Love it! ##### Candace D.

Our first year was adults with one child. Now there are three children under the age of 5\. The porch is a perfect room for bringing the family together. Ample space for toys and mayhem. but the real magic of this place is that there are any number of places to which one can escape when the mayhem gets to much. The kitchen was very well stocked and the views are breathtaking, furniture comfortable and the survivor’s guide had every conceivable bit of information anyone renting the house could need. I don’t want it to get any more popular than it already is but this is an a plus experience. ##### Alison K.

We were blown away at how beautiful the house and the area were. The community is quaint with fantastic restaurants, local fairs, amazing blueberries and antique stores galore. But, truth be told, we never wanted to leave this tranquil home. Everything we needed was there. It is spacious and peaceful. The kitchen is a gourmet cooks delight. I enjoyed my morning coffee on the front porch looking at the coast and the whole family spent hours on the screened patio reading, playing board games and enjoying the perfect Maine summer weather. I cannot wait to go back! ##### Eric J. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Holly H. 15 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing home for extended vacation! We had the privilege of staying at this property for 9 nights. It is a remote location with plenty of space for a family to have alone time or together time. The property sits back off the road and is backed up to woods where there’s a wonderful fire pit. There were some other homes barely visible through the trees, but we only saw someone else one time. The house was well maintained, homey and well stocked - they really do think of everything! Each bedroom had a box fan and most bedrooms had a ceiling fan as well - the weather was very humid in July, but the evenings cooled down enough that fans were definitely sufficient even though they do not have air conditioning. There’s a local Hannaford and Blue Hill Co-op 10 minutes away, both of which sell a good selection of organic and allergen-friendly foods. It is about an hour from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. ##### Holly H.

But alas, apparently there are others who feel the same way. It breaks my heart that we will have to find another property but the early bird gets the worm. I cannot write anything negative about this wonderful place. Think of it. You have two septuagenarians, one sixty five year old mother of twin boys who are now married with children of their own and it was a perfect gathering of generations and cultures. This is our second year in this property our 35th year in this part of Maine and my husband said upon leaving: This was the best time EVER. I agree ##### Alison K.

We came to Maine to celebrate my 80th birthday. Blue Heaven accommodated all our needs. The kitchen was well equipped for some amazing meal preparations that we each took turns preparing most evenings. It almost became a competition to see who could make the most delicious and eye appealing dinner. We enjoyed a hike around Jordan Pond, visiting the Nearing home and gardens, dining out at Union River Lobster Pot and also a last night special dinner at Arborvine. Four members of our group rented e-bikes in Bar Harbor and rode a half day on the beautiful Carriage Trails in Acadia. Several members also hiked to Mount Cadillac and hiked Bubbles and a few other major hiking trails. We visited Thunder Hole one morning and also walked along the Sea Path in Bar Harbor ending at some of the shops and restaurants there. Note that due to heavy traffic in the summer months, a trip to Acadia can take 1 and 1/2 hours each way. So plan your activities accordingly. Our morning whale watch trip out of BarHarbor was cancelled as we were approaching Bar Harbor due to fog. We were disappointed, but spent the time on the sea path and shopping. We recommend Blue Heaven as a wonderful place to relax and feel at home. The grounds are lovely. Mary is a perfect host. We made so many memories there. ##### Sharon R.

It was spacious, clean and well maintained. The property was beautiful and had exactly what we needed. That included a nice patio, huge front porch and back deck area. Oh.... did i mention the perfect fire pit for night time hanging out. I highly recommend this house. ##### DONALD W. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geraldine H. 12 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfort and amenities Blue Heaven, set back from the road a few hundred feet and surrounded on three sides by wooded property, is private and quiet, yet is a short drive to the town of Blue Hill, a good supermarket, fantastic food coop and a Walgreens drugstore. The house has well furnished comfortable seating areas, and for our group of 6 older people, the bedrooms have very comfortable beds, and nice quality bed linens. Each bedroom had a closet with more than enough room to put way our things. Aside from the living/den area, there is a large screened porch with more comfortable seating, so for six people who love to be with each other, there is still plenty of room to spread out and not be on top of one another for the week. The front porch and back patio are additional spaces to hang out. The ping pong table in the basement was great for a rainy day, as well as an assortment of games and books in the living room. The property also has shaded gravel paths looping around it for a mile plus walk, and Blue Hill Falls is another walk just up the road. The owner replied immediately to a minor problem, and there is a caretaker a phone call away. A couple of months before our stay the owner emailed the most extensive detailed guide to the house and the Blue Hill area that I've ever received on a rental. All in all, it was great house in a lovely area with an owner committed to the comfort of guests. ##### Geraldine H. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom W. 7 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful in many ways! Mary's home is clean, spacious, comfortable, welcoming and beautifully decorated. We were eight senior adults and spent most of our time on the great front porch or huge screened in room, both of which easily allow more than eight people to sit and have a conversation in comfort. About 45 minutes from Acadia and Bar Harbor, the home is close enough for easy visits and far enough to be completely quiet and secluded. The four "senior" men went tubing on the Kennebec River, about two hours away, and had a blast. We all went whale watching out of Bar Harbor and had a very successful trip with lots of full breaching. If we ever return, we will unquestionably rent Mary's home again. You will not be disappointed if you stay in this home, because that is what it is, a home! Tom & Penn ##### Tom W. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison K. 27 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Addendum equally sublime Our second shift was an entirely different experience. Family departed and we had the entire beautiful home to ourselves. Lots of quiet tme on the front porch rocking and reading. We used the time to explore and eat. I cannot recommend this property highly enough ##### Alison K. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2022 ---
