About this house rental

Our home offers you a spacious, open, sun-lit, private retreat, with sweeping views Down East to the Bay of Fundy and inland to Bunker s Harbor, situated on 15+ acres of woods with an accessible 660 foot pink granite shoreline.

Watch from the Gazebo as lobster boats ply the waters or view the crashing surf outside from the two story cathedral living room windows. Take a short walk or bike ride to Acadia National Park's Schoodic Peninsula trails or a short drive to iconic Schoodic Point.

The House

We hope you will feel welcome and relaxed in our custom built Rockport Post & Beam home.

The main level also offers a cozy game and puzzle room, an office/study, a grand piano, a bedroom/nursery, two bathrooms, a mud room and a connected two-car garage.

Upstairs, you will find a spacious master bedroom with spectacular water views and all the amenities you would expect including a soaking tub and gas fireplace, plus two additional comfortable bedrooms and a large lofted TV sitting room.

Outdoors, you will find a long perimeter wood deck with a gas grill, a wind-swept gazebo, 660 feet of accessible pink rock and boulder-covered waterfront and 15 acres of private woods. A large granite outcropping located on the property is accessible at low tide, for the freshest ocean air in Down East Maine. Feel free to wander in the woods, within site of the shoreline or the driveway so you do not get lost. Day and night, you can see the Petit Manan Lighthouse - 10 miles out to sea!

We absolutely loved our stay at Birch Harbor. The views are incredible, the cathedral ceilings in the house are beautiful, it is well equipped with things to do (pool table, fooseball table, fire pit on beach). It took around 80 minutes to get to Cadillac mountain, 60 minutes to get to Acadia in general. But we actually liked this area more than Bar Harbor as it was more remote, less toursity etc, and Schoodic point (5 min away) was one of the prettiest sites we saw on the trip, and wasnt crowded with tourists like the main Acadia area was. There are also biking trails and walking trails in the local area, where we saw a deer and porcupine, again way less crowded than main Acadia area. So if you dont mind the drive to the main sites, and want a peaceful remote beautiful stay this is a great place! Of note, the beach is rocky, which older kids collecting rocks may love, but young kids would not be able to run around etc (which is pretty clear by the photos). But there is a sand beach nearby.
