10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
Absolutely amazing! Wish we had more time here but will be back. The home is the most unique home we've ever stayed in with a tower and lookout above the master bedroom. Very quiet area. My family felt like they were in a fairy tale, with the kids deciding which bed to sleep in, the regular beds or the amazing small window beds with ocean views and beautiful glass windows which was the winner in the end!The Den was amazing with every game you could think of and ceiling to floor windows.The kitchen was a picture taker for sure. The cabinets had gorgeous handles and hinges thats matched the dragon theme, with an amazing wood counter and stools, and huge rock center beam, and all utensils that we needed.The beds were absolutely comfortable and everything clean. The location was unbelievable with amazing sun rises that Ive tried to capture below but not sure it does it Justice.Not enough space or words to truly capture how perfect our stay was. Truly a home to be proud of.

This amazing storybook house, designed by an amazing self-taught architect, was a great get away from it all. The unique windows and hand carved doors and wood-detailing are super special and make you feel as though you have been transported to another time. The extra special sleeping/reading/lounging nooks (large enough for adults) had interpane dioramas of castles, knights and delightful colored dots that are simply amazing and other-worldly.Plenty of sleeping places for our family of 8. Wonderful showers, plenty of towels and linens and lots of kitchen utensils, pots and pans.. Great coffeepot and lovely waffleiron. The kitchen table was especially nice since everyone could see each other super well and provided a casual feeling like you were at home for dining or playing cards.Great location. Super close to the Schoodic Institute and the Schoodic Peninsula portion of Acadia National Park for great bike rides (some of us even rode from the house throughout the park), hikes and just spending time on the rocks by the water. Lovely hikes nearby at Pigeon Hill (we had the trail to ourselves the day we went and vistas that went for miles). Be sure to check out the lobster grill cheese at a nearby lunch spot on a wharf, and the amazingly good espresso/blueberry swirl softserve at the local dairy dip. One of the best houses we’ve ever stayed and we’ve been renting houses for more than 20 years.

The rocky shoreline and private tidepools were amazing. The large kitchen bar was great for meals and family games. The castle was quirky and spectacular and the long house that is under construction makes us want to come back! We had a great time in Maine.
