Lovely place

We had a very peaceful and soul-nourishing week. We did many of the usual vacation things, but I most treasure the happy hours spent just watching the sea and the sky. My whole family is looking forward to returning to this lovely, comfortable old house.

Beautiful rustic house on the water

We really enjoyed the view of the sunrise and sunset on the bay. The otters and seals were an added bonus. Once we figured out the stove, life was good. Thank you, Susan, for staying in touch with us.

College Buddy Reunion

This was the perfect place to gather and celebrate our 50 years of freindship. Very comfortable and spacious. Wonderful back yard on the water. Beautiful place to watch the sunset. CLose to Acadia Park. Lots to do. Would only suggest having directions on how to operate the heat in both buildings. Thank you!

It was a great place to base out of for Bar Harbor. The cabin, while rustic, is very cute and very clean and perfect for families. Thanks for hosting us!

Fantastic Location

The cottage couldn't be in a more beautiful location, we watched seals and otters every morning from the shore while drinking coffee. The cottage is dated but that only added to the charm. We loved our stay.

Lovely Oceanside Cottage

We had the best stay at this beautifully situated home. The house is even better than advertised, and we loved the quaint community of Hancock Point. The highlight of the trip was watching the sun set each night - great views!

Rustic jaunt in Maine

What the house lacks in amenities is made up for by the location. This rustic property sits on the shore, blessed by the most beautiful scenery and sunsets. The house has everything you need, just very basic.

Great Location - Very Rustic

The location was ideal for us on the water. We enjoyed our daily strolls along the shore. We saw seals, porpoises, eagles, loons and ospreys. It was fun watching the lobstermen tend their traps right out back. The only drawback was the very rustic nature of the building.

Great views in rustic home

Great views from this private location - secluded but readily accessible to popular Acadia and Bar Harbor locations without all the crowds. Easy access to restaurants, groceries etc. Property more rustic/cabin like vs. modern house. Could use a refresh, but gave us wonderful opportunities to explore other Downeast ME sites.

Idyllic Maine Property

Although the autumn air was cool and my husband and I were alone in this waterside home, we couldn't help but see what a fantastic family summer escape this place would be. Nostalgic design and lots of room for relaxing, playing, and enjoying Maine! The screen porch was a definite highlight!
