Serene, isolated beach-front cottage with newly renovated kitchen

Take our view of the Prospect Harbor Lighthouse with your morning coffee this summer, disturbed only by the fishing of eagles and ospreys. Walk for miles along the granite beaches of our neighboring nature preserve, pick blueberries, play on our sand beach, or explore some of the best tidal pools of Hancock County.
We have a peek at Cadillac mountain of Acadia National Park from the floor to peak windows on our front wall. We’re isolated down a half mile long private drive, but just around the corner from the Schoodic Peninsula and an easy drive to Mt Desert Island, or take the ferry to Bar Harbor from nearby Winter Harbor.
The house sleeps six, with a queen downstairs, and a queen and two singles in the loft. We have a single bathroom with a shower. The kitchen is well equipped to prepare the local lobsters, clams or mussels any way you like, or you can grill your daily catch on the deck. The newly updated kitchen has new stove, dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator. There is now plenty of counter and storage space. Since we love to cook, there are good knives and plenty of tools. We’ve provided a gas fireplace, washer and dryer. You have to provide lemons, butter, bikes and kayaks.
This is a place designed to be close to nature, and nature sometimes has a way of letting herself in, so please keep the doors and screens closed or you may have uninvited roommates. Like any home, we’ve had the occasional mouse visitor, but this has been rarer since my husband crawled around under the house and sealed every opening he could see. At least we’ve only had flying squirrels once, and we were the lucky ones to kick them out in the spring! Levity aside, if you don’t enjoy nature in all its forms, this is not the place for you.
