GATHER TOGETHER
At the heart of the home is a bright, open-concept living area where everyone naturally comes together. The cathedral ceiling, comfortable seating, and thoughtful design create a space that feels both spacious and welcoming.
The fully equipped kitchen features a large island, ample prep space, and everything needed for quick breakfasts before a hike and lobster dinners after a day in Acadia.
The dining and gathering spaces are designed for shared meals and conversation. Seating at the dining table and kitchen island makes it easy to gather indoors, while the oversized outdoor dining table accommodates 14+ guests. A high chair is available for our youngest travelers.
The home is equipped with a Keurig Duo coffee maker that brews both pods and carafes, as well as a propane grill for outdoor cooking.
Fast Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected, while two washers and two dryers make longer stays easy.
RELAX & PLAY
When you're not exploring Acadia, the game loft offers a second gathering space for friendly competition and rainy-day fun. Challenge each other to pool, air hockey, shuffleboard, wall basketball, and board games, or simply settle in and relax between adventures.
Outside, the pace slows down even more. Spend the evening soaking in the 7-person hot tub beneath the stars, gathering around the fire pit, sharing a meal, relaxing in the hammock chairs, or enjoying a quiet morning coffee surrounded by trees.

Other things to note
- LAWN: We're establishing new grass on the lawn in the backyard and ask that guests please stay off this area through July 31. As the grass grows in, portions of the yard may appear patchy at first. Unfortunately, this means the lawn and lawn games will not be available to guests during June and July. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as we improve the property. We hope you'll return in the future to enjoy the fully established lawn and outdoor recreation areas.
- CELL SERVICE: Cell service can be spotty on some nearby roads, but free high-speed Wi-Fi keeps you connected at the house.
- ROAD ACCESS: The final half mile to the home and the driveway are gravel. Four wheel drive is advised in winter months.
- STAIRS: Access to the home requires climbing a flight of 9 stairs from the driveway to the front porch. Once inside, the main living areas and three bedrooms are located on the first floor.
