What an amazing place to stay! The views were absolutely incredible! Every sunset felt like a show put on just for us! The house was beautiful and well maintained and extremely insulated from the wind and cold. We will definitely be coming back!

The sense of peacefulness this property creates cannot be understated. It's on the quiet side of the island. It's overlooking a beautiful harbor. The ocean air is fresh and cool. There is a great restaurant about a 1 minute walk away. There are at least 6 different locations on the property to relax and enjoy the view. The detached bedroom is unique and refreshing. The Acadia attractions are 15 to 45 minutes away depending on what you want to visit that day. Roger, the property owner is a pleasure to interact with.

The property was beautiful with a fantastic view! The cottage feel was just perfect and had everything we needed! The property owner was wonderful and I so appreciated all the information and welcoming! We will definitely stay here again! I highly recommend this property! Such a gem!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2023
The house has incredible views, comfy beds, is very clean & steps away from a local restaurant serving top-notch seafood. The Host was extremely accommodating and called the day after we arrived to discuss what we needed. He even sent a check for sponges that we bought that were missing in the kitchen. That being said, there were a few things that made our stay less than wonderful, esp considering the price:
1. Too many detailed instructions from the host at numerous times in a somewhat condescending tone was stressful and unnecessary.
2. It was v. busy at the end of a private, well-traveled, gravel road where many cars came and went as well as a popular spot for neighbors to relieve their dogs and visit. Normally, this would be fine, but if you expect a quiet location away from the hubbub, this is not really it.
3. If you plan on doing a fair amount of cooking, be aware that the refrigerator is not a full-sized one and no freezer to speak of. Also, the grill is not a gas one so you will have to buy lighter fluid and clean out the charcoal using utensils you bring when done (unless there was a shovel and bucket that we did not see).
4. The studio w. no bathroom had no key to the back door so our teen had to walk out front in his pjs in the night under a bright street light to use the bathroom inside - we felt uncomfortable keeping the back door unlocked. Also, the armoire was moldy smelling and my son's clothes still have a moldy stench even after multiple washings.
