Ocean View Cape On 14 Private Acres

This property exceeded our expectations. It was a delightful older New England rambling house with wonderful art, furniture, and a fully set up kitchen. It was not far from route 1, but far enough back to not be a problem. Cobb Rd dead-ended at a nature reserve of 170 acres, all wooded. The flower and herb gardens around the house were lovely, and we made pies from the rhubarb. We were delighted to find a brand new supercharger in Searsport to charge our EV only 5 miles away. The beds were comfortable and the linens plentiful, and the laundry machines were up to date. Communication with the owner was excellent. We went kayaking, puffin watching, ate lobster at Young's.

Beautiful property, host is incredibly responsive and helpful. There isn’t a/c in the bedrooms, so might feel warm for those who are use to it. Went for the 4th of July, the town of Searsport had fun activities, and Belfast has fun restaurants and shops.

Our small family gathering was enhanced with our stay at Heroncrest. The parlors and dining room were comfortable and well appointed; the bedrooms had character and we all slept well. Lovely gardens and great proximity to food and recreation up and down highway 1. Our two weeks zoomed by and I’m already dreaming of returning next year!

This was the perfect spot to stay with my husband, our four year old son, my parents, and our two dogs. The house was clean and very spacious with more than enough room for us all. The yard is beautiful and peaceful. We were lucky enough that our stay fell while the lupins, peonies, and roses were all in bloom all over the property. There were fireflies in the evening over the field. We had easy day trips all over the midcoast: Boothbay and the botanical gardens, Camden, Belfast, Castine, Stonington, and Fort Knox and the Penobscot Narrows Bridge Observatory. My son's favorite was the Solstice Festival in Sears Island. So much to see and do nearby but the home was private and quiet. Check in and out could not have been easier. Can't wait to come back to the area!

My husband and I had a wonderful extended stay at this lovely home. Carolyn’s photographs and details of Heroncrest really appealed to me and the home and property exceeded my expectations. I felt peacefulness and tranquility both inside the home and sitting outside surrounded by all the fragrant and colorful perennial gardens. The kitchen offered everything you might need or want, including a collection of cookbooks, a variety of spices, and every kitchen tool you would need. Each and every room is beautifully appointed and inviting. The home is located in a great location near restaurants and so many activities. We visited the Botanical Gardens in Booth Bay and Acadia National Park during our stay. Heroncrest is a treasure, and Carolyn is an excellent and lovely host. We stayed at this wonderful home while we awaited our new granddaughter’s birth and her arrival and Heroncrest will always be interwoven in my heart.
