We enjoyed the location of this quaint home that had easy access to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The property manager made us feel at home with a welcome basket. We found the directions very accurate and were able to take advantage of hikes during the day on the schoodic penisula as well as the firepit right on site along the shoreline to close our our evenings. The air conditioning window units cooled down the house if they were on for a few hours. The wash machine machine was a plus and there was a cooler in addition to bug spray and a lighter available for adventuring! We enjoyed our stay and experience in Maine with this great stay ❤️

We absolutely loved our stay. The space is homey, light filled, incredible views and stocked with everything you need. Might just be my favorite place I've ever stayed. The host was so helpful and offered great tips from everything from groceries to good restaurants to the best night to build a fire. I would absolutely stay here again.
Only thing to keep in mind is it's an hour from Acadia and local food options are limited. Not at all a negative, as it also meant you are out of the touristy areas and could really unplug. Just worth it to have a good amount of groceries to last in case you rather just stay in and enjoy what this peaceful retreat has to offer.

This was the nicest home we have stayed in. It was immaculate. The kitchen supplies were top notch, lovely to cook with. The view from the small porch is enchanting. Perfect place for a cup of coffee or glass of wine. We had a fire in the pit a couple of times…stars were amazing. Nearby there are several good restaurants, but especially recommend the homemade blueberry soft serve ice cream at Me and Ben’s. The park at Schoodic Penensula is very close and what wonderful views. The main park is a lovely hour drive away and very easy to get to. There is a lot to do and see right around the house, too. Nice antique shops. Each day, however, we were so happy to get back to our lovely cottage. A few tips; buy your own firewood along the way at a “camp wood” station…need cash. Wi-Fi was not very strong. Groceries in Ellsworth is best place to get supplies.Hosts were prompt in reply and very helpful. Would highly recommend this stay!
