The home is beautiful! The view is amazing. The Maine Coastline is beautiful and this home hit the spot for us! Away from it all! The Ocean is beautiful and the stars are beyond amazing. The fire pit could be a bit more enjoyable if the space around it was not too tight. However, with that being said, it was nice to sit close to the water and we did just fine! Great place to stay!!!

What a fantastic place to stay that is quiet and out of the hustle of Bar Harbor! The house is very well appointed, with several spaces to spread out if you have more people. The kitchen is well stocked with pots large enough to cook a lobster, and there is even a second fridge in the laundry room. The decks look right out on the ocean. You can hear the waves crashing all night. The night sky is full of stars and you can even see the Milky Way. There is a library with a variety of books, games and puzzles if the weather isnt cooperative.Don't miss going to the Schoodic Point, particularly if you can watch high tide come in.The property manager was quick to answer any questions and there is a basket full of information about Acadia, local shops and places to visit.It was hard to leave such a wonderful place.

The home was closer to the water than I expected, very beautiful. The kitchen was well-equipped and there was plenty of room on main floor to lounge, including the super great porch overlooking the bay/ocean. We could not use the firepit due to a fire ban (happy to oblige) but enjoyed the gas fire heater on porch. It was a quiet area despite houses being close by, but were well camoflaged with big trees.
