PRIVATE WATERFRONT RETREAT MINUTES FROM ACADIA~ Island life at its BEST!

This was the perfect home for our family’s bucket list trip to Maine. The property is very private with gorgeous natural beauty creating the ideal setting for relaxing with family. The views from the dock and shoreline are absolutely breathtaking. You can watch lobster boats haul in their catch each morning. We even saw a seal swimming near the dock. Our children loved the waterfront swing and exploring the trails surrounding house. On a clear night, the dock is the perfect place to stargaze. We also enjoyed using the fire pit to make s’mores.The house had plenty of space for our group of 4 adults and 4 children. The large windows and high ceilings create an open and airy feel. We often found ourselves commenting on how clean and high-quality everything was. The kitchen was well-stocked and we were easily able to find everything we needed. The large kitchen table was perfect for our family, and the many couches and chairs in the upper and lower living rooms were great spots to rest after a long day of siteseeing in Acadia. Outside, the home has an expansive wraparound porch on the lower level as well as an outdoor kitchen. An upper level porch provides even more scenic views. Both porches are well-equipped with plenty of outdoor furniture. On top of the beauty of the home and property, the owner was very responsive and helpful. If you’re looking for a beautiful and peaceful Quiet Side getaway, you will not be disappointed with this home!

Great view of the ocean, very clean property that is well equipped. Would stay again

My husband and I took our family to Maine for the first time this summer and had the good fortune of staying in Sara’s well appointed home. Everything we could need from games to kitchen supplies were considered and top notch. The atmosphere of the home was warm and we all felt right at home. Right on the water, you could watch the tide come and go. Our children loved exploring the coastline and we all gathered around the bonfire in the evenings after long days of hiking and enjoying the beauties of the park. There are certainly perks to staying on the slower side of the island and avoiding some of the crowds. The less crowded trails on this side are also nice and boast amazing views as well! The drive to Bar Harbor wasn’t bad, usually 30min, and we scheduled our activities and dinner reservations around the times we wanted to head that way.

We stayed in this beautiful home for a few days in April just after the park opened. We arrived a bit earlier than expected & were greeted by our host, Sara, and her dog, Austin (who always stays outside). While Sara tended to the house, we sat by the water, played fetch with Austin & enjoyed the amazing view. Once inside, Sara took care of every detail with a hand-written note detailing her favorite hikes in the area & restaurant recommendations. Laundry room, bathroom, living room & bedroom on the ground floor. 2 bedrooms, bathroom, living room & kitchen upstairs. Over the next few days, we spent most our time in the park (about 20-30 min drive). After dinner in Bar Harbor, we came back to the house & enjoyed sitting outside in the evening. The star gazing was unreal! Overall, a beautiful home in a quiet, secluded area on the waterfront. Sara was a fantastic host & was available by text for any questions/issues. Highly recommend booking your stay here! Would love to come back!

Beautiful home in a beautiful setting! Sara was very responsive and helpful!
