Dory Haven

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Affectionately known as Dory Haven, this newly renovated cove-front cottage features tasteful New England decor, high ceilings, a screened porch, and a sunroom boasting an abundance of windows and waterfront views. In a prime locale, you’ll have close access to the area’s natural wonders. Traverse the coastal woodlands of Acadia National Park, or hike local peaks like Champlain Mountain and The Beehive. For explorations nearby, Bartlett’s Landing and Long Pond can be reached in no time.

Relax in the spacious living room, furnished with two sofas, armchairs, and a gas fireplace. Pick your favorite film from the vast array of DVDs and have a movie night on the 31-inch TV. An adjacent sunroom boasts a sofa and rocking chair, as well as a dining table. Whip up tasty vacation meals in the open kitchen, outfitted with new appliances, granite countertops, and all the kitchenware needed. Enjoy morning coffee at the two-person breakfast nook. Gather in the sunroom at the unique live-edge wooden dining table for six and take in beautiful views of the waterfront backyard.

The whole family will enjoy the expansive grassy backyard. Roast s’mores over the fire pit or go for a swim in the refreshing waters. Please note that the waterfront is tidal, meaning at certain times of the day, there is no water. However, during high tide, the water is perfect for swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife, including seals, otters, and Maine seabirds. End your day with drinks on the deck, with seating for two. Sizzle dinner on the grill, then head to the lower-level screened porch to enjoy an alfresco dinner at the picnic table. This area also offers a two-person table, ideal for a quiet moment at the end of an activity-filled day.

For nearby excursions, launch a kayak from Bartlett’s Landing, which also serves as a wonderful spot to catch a sunset. Or head to Long Pond, a nearly 4-mile long, glacial lake. Drive 15 minutes to Acadia National Park. Spend your time exploring the woodlands, breathing in the salty air on the rocky shores, and watching for local wildlife. Explore the coastal town of Bar Harbor, just a 25-minute drive from your home. Indulge in local cuisine, shop the boutiques, or charter a boat to explore the deep blue sea.

Communication was perfect. We had an issue with a door lock and after sending a quick text, Vacasa was very prompt responding, maintaining good communication until the issue was resolved. The house was very clean and the sun room made it a wonderful retreat. It was an easy commute to Cadillac Mountain for sunrise. Our only suggestions would be: One, an updated shower head. Its very high and only tilts so far so it hits the wall and not the person. Two, window coverings. Even though the area is secluded, we would have liked the option to cover the windows at the sink, the kitchen table, the kitchen/entryway door, and especially the hall, since it large and sits right outside of the bathroom.

Our only complaint would be the toilet. I think it needs to be tightened or something.

There is a lot to love about Dory Haven. The location on the water afforded great views in a serene atmosphere. We loved the enclosed porch and pretty much stayed in that room exclusively when in the house. The kitchen was modern and well equipped, as was the bathroom. However, the Wi-Fi was absolutely inadequate and seemed like false advertising. The house is in a dead spot for 5G/LTE, so Wi-Fi is essential. However, we could not get it to work at all during our weeklong stay because the speeds from Hughesnet were too slow. The lack of WiFi made it difficult to plan activities because we were unfamiliar with the area. My son, who had work to do every morning, had to drive 20 minutes to a coffee shop with Wi-Fi every day. This raises another issue with the location. We loved being away from the crowds of Bar Harbor; however, the location really is remote. By the end of our week-long stay, we were tired of driving 25 to 30 minutes to enjoy shopping or dining out. Finally, during this time of year (early July) the sun starts to rise at 4:15 AM. Because there were no shades on the skylights and the curtains were thin and white (and stained) in the bedrooms, we rose with the sun at an ungodly hour. Dory Haven is a charming house with some great features, but we won't be back. It could be perfect for someone who wants to and is able to disconnect during their stay. That wasn't us, unfortunately.
