Susan's home was wonderful. Clean and cozy, but plenty of room to relax. You can walk right down to the water from her place, and we found beautiful shells and rocks. Her house manual book had everything we needed to know about the place, as well as a basket of maps and guides for local attractions. We loved how the heat could be adjusted from multiple rooms. The linens and towels were sot and comfortable, and there were ample extra towels, pillows, and blankets. Her home is located in the perfect spot, in my opinion. It's on the quiet side of Acadia, just a quick drive to the Schoodic peninsula. Getting to Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island took about 50 minutes, but the drive was easy and we appreciated coming back to the peace and quiet of Susan's place each night. Last note-we loved the sounds of the tree frogs at night!

A charming cozy two bedroom cottage. (The livingroom converts into a secluded bedroom.) It's set on one of Maine's picturesque tidal estuaries with a great lawn sloping down to the rocky shore. A long drive to Mt. Desert Island and Bar Harbor, but close to scenic places where the crowd don't go. On our list of great place we've stayed.
