It was so quiet. We got to totally relax. We did not have the best weather, lots of fog but even that gave it a calming effect. Had 2 days of some sun, so got to experience it all! ##### Daniel L.

Three generations of my family stayed together in this gorgeous home. Everything you could have wanted or needed they had already thought of and made available. Cooking in? They have everything you need! Cozy night by the fire? Yep, they have you covered. Spectacular views surrounded by peace and quiet. Close enough to everything, but far enough away to be relaxing! ##### Melissa B.

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melinda M. 15 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely We had the loveliest stay! The house had everything we needed and more than plenty space for us all! The third bathroom was a surprise and would be great if you had a larger group. The house can be divided into 4 "wings" (each wing having their own private access bathroom except for one wing) if multiple family units are staying, which is such a nice asset. We stayed over a rainy/snowy weekend in April, and being so close to the ocean was such a delight, with a fire burning in the fireplace each evening. We would visit any time of the year! ##### Melinda M.

If you love Beach combing This is the property for you. seals were just offshore during incoming tide. also found the seals hung out on the east side of the island just out in front of this property. There are 6 sea kayaks you can use. Also lifejackets are there to use. Property has big kitchen with everything you can think of. Very well stocked.. looking straight off the deck you’re basically looking at Arcadia national Park. Very short drive. We will be back. ##### Craig S.

Beautiful location with a view of the harbor. It was cold when we were there but could enjoy the view on a clear day. If it had been warmer, we would've enjoyed using the kayaks right off the property. Home had everything we needed. If staying in the off season, check restaurants since many were closed. ##### Darlene Q.

The house itself is very comfortable, extremely well appointed and quickly feels like a second home. Were signed up for next summer! Location feels very private, but just 15 minutes from Acadia.
