Beautiful getaway
This property was perfect for peaceful, relaxing time away with the family. The house is beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. The hosts provided everything you could need for your stay. They checked in with us the day of arrival and next morning and were always prompt with any responses. There was a nice variety of kayaks amd canoes, as well as life vests in varyihg sizes. We enjoyed being out on the water when the tide was in. We really enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it!

Generous Owners & Restorative Vacation
Our family enjoyed the owner's helpful and generous hospitality! They share their gorgeous home, its contents and their fleet of kayaks and canoes with those who rest here. The ocean bay views are calming, the home is extremely comfortable and beautiful, and you are able to relax in the quiet peace of this property. It's so close to the Schoodic Peninsula of Acadia (stunningly beautiful) and day trips to the larger part of Acadia (Sand Beech, hikes, Cadillac Mountain, Thunder Hole and more) as well as to Bar Harbor were easy and a gorgeous drive. If we didn't live so far away, we'd gladly stay here every year :) Thank you, thank you!

Real Maine
Super well appointed house at the end of long access way. Nice and secluded, but everything you could possibly need is provided. Access to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park is easy enough. A local ferry is also convenient for passengers. Grindstone Golf course is quite scenic, and local seafood is excellent. There is even a street side pie stand up the street. Homeowners are completes pros and easy to work with. This place is a winner.
