It is across the street f/m the bay with stunning views of MDI/Bar Harbor Enjoyed the walks in the neighborhood and along the bay and the marina, the fireplace, the chairs on the lawn, the beds, great library, games. Every element of this 4-seasons house, interior, exterior, and grounds, is very well thought of and intended to provide enjoyable time. Many establishments were closed for the season when we visited in early October and still, we had plenty to do. Only minor setback was that if you are looking for big supermarket, you have to go to Ellsworth or Trenton. However, Ellsworth and Trenton are on the way to Acadia/MDI/Bar Harbor and very convenient to stop by in one of the big supermarkets or Walmart there. Alternatively, there are also two or three smaller places available nearby for general food or house necessities or to grab prepared food if you don't want to cook. We stayed 9 days and loved every moment of it. ##### Maria P.
