Downeast Coast adventure

The property was excellent, very clean and perfect for our group. Great access to the Schoodic Peninsula, Desert Island and the northern Maine coast. We had great weather with clear shy which allowed us to turn down the house light and watch the Milky Way over the Atlantic.

Relaxing Maine Getaway

This cottage offers everything one could desire for a relaxing Maine getaway experience. The ocean front views from the living room, dining room, and master bedroom sitting area were fantastic. The deck was an ideal spot to watch the sunrise, a lobster boat pulling traps, or sip a glass of wine listening to the surf. Jeff and Jen were fantastic hosts, offering helpful info on local restaurants, markets, and activities. You won’t be disappointed staying at Ledgeview cottage.

Authentic coastal Maine

We were visiting Maine for the first time and wanted to experience it all: crashing waves on the rocks, beautiful scenery, lobster boats and fresh lobster. We also wanted to relax and your house was wonderful. Oceanfront, secluded and quiet while also being close to Arcadia, Bar Harbor and many nice little towns to explore. Perfect for us and just as described.

5/5, pics do not do this property justice. Quiet, peaceful, and stunningly beautiful views. Hosts were excellent, provided lots of helpful tips for navigating Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, and other nearby areas. 100% recommend.

Great get away

Took my 80 year old mother on a little trip. The large bedroom on the first floor was a bonus, did not have to negotiate extra stairs once inside. The porch was wonderful. Loved the quiet location. Took the ferry to Bar Harbor it was worth every penny. WIFI was a challenge but we did not care about access.

Vacation getaway

The house had beautiful views. It was fun watching the fog roll in and on clear days watching the lobster boats. The shore line was fun to look for treasures. The kitchen was set up with everything you could need to cook, the ga grill was a plus. The long private road in was good for my XC runner kids to get their workouts in. We enjoyed the peaceful setting away from Bar Harbor and Acadia but easy to get there for our outings. Lots of things to do on the Schoodic Peninsula also. Definitely would come stay here if in there area again. We enjoyed our week.

Fabulous views very clean

We had a wonderful stay at Ledgeview cottage! Wonderful remote location away from the business of Bar Harbor but close enough to drive to and very close to Schoodic peninsula. Amazing views of the ocean from almost every room in the house especially the beautiful deck where we would enjoy the sunrise with our coffee and later at night star gazing. There were very nice extras that made our stay especially nice … loved having the binoculars to look out at the ocean as the boats were coming in… even spotted dolphins! Communication with the host was great! Poor WiFi but who cares when you have all that beauty surrounding you. It’s nice to be unplugged anyway! This house had ample living space for our party of 4 and was very clean with cute decor. Could not be happier that we chose this cottage for our first visit to Maine!

Relaxing Stay at Ledgeview

We felt at home from the start at Ledgeview Cottage. Everything was exactly as described and spotlessly clean. The area had everything that we were looking for with Acadia's Schoodic Peninsula and nearby villages, restaurants, ice cream and more to explore. Close enough to the main part of Acadia and Bar Harbor for a day trip- but we enjoyed our time around the cottage much more due to the lack of crowds and relaxed atmosphere.

It doesn’t get any better.

Exceptional house that is away from all the crowds. The morning sunrise from the deck is a treat worth getting up early for. The location is just minutes from Winter Harbor and makes a great base camp for daily adventures. We had a great time climbing the rock wall to put our toes in the Atlantic Ocean.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Grant

Host profile image
Jennifer and I are both native to the area and have spent our entire lives here. I am a local builder and she is a caretaker for several people here on Prospect Point. We are avid outdoors-people, who enjoy hiking,boating,bird watching and sightseeing. I am a member of the Planning Board as well as a consultant for the new town park. We support many local charities and basically love our little town.

Why they chose this property

We have taken care of this home and its owners for many years. When the opportunity to purchase it came up in the winter of 2016, we jumped at the occasion. We are unable to move in at this time due to my business needs and have decided to share with others.

What makes this property unique

We have both always loved the idyllic nature of this home, being the last house on our road. We both grew up here on the coast but, until you spend an evening listening to the beach rocks lapping the shore to the spectacular sunrises,you haven't experienced "the way life should be".
