If you are looking for peace and plenty of room (we were), this is the house for you! We were there over the Fourth of July and even then, aside from a handful of firecrackers and the distant sound of fireworks for an hour, it was quiet. The house is lovely. Very spacious, very open and light-filled, very clean. The main dining table overlooks the lawn and ocean, perfect for playing games while idly watching for birds. While it was just four of us there, the layout could have absorbed many more guests. There are fans in every bedroom and the heat never bothered us. Overall, it was welcoming and comfortable in a way that many rentals aren't.If you come to Maine for trails and hiking, there are good options in both directions. Schoodic—the other half of Acadia National Park close by, as is Petit Manan Point. Mt. Desert Island is a longer drive, though you can catch a (car-free) ferry to Bar Harbor from nearby Winter Harbor. Or park at the new visitor’s center in Trenton, take the bus in, and skip jockeying for parking in Acadia. Further up the coast is Great Wass Island, which is less busy and a beautiful place to hike and relax. The swimming was good during the hours around high tide. We saw an osprey and great blue herons most days, and an an eagle once or twice. I got to practice my gull id. Our last night we watched seals feed on a school of fish after chasing them into a tight circle. We loved our time at Misty Morning Cottage!
