About this property

Start your day on the front porch with a cup of coffee as the lobster boats make their way out into the Gulf of Maine. Or you may choose the more active route with a hike up Pigeon Hill trail to be amongst the first in the US to welcome the new day. Whether your focus is to relax and disconnect, be active and engage, or maybe a little bit of both, this B.Still property has what you need to make that a reality.

The main house consists of two bedrooms with memory foam queen beds, quality linens, and oceans views. The home has two bathrooms, including one with a tub, to wash away the days activity or to take a moment for yourself to relax and reflect. The spacious living room comes equipped with a fireplace and record player making it a perfect spot to take in a cool Maine summer night. Also don’t forget the telescope where you can take in the night sky and maybe get a glimpse of the Milky Way . When dinner time arrives, the family can gather around the large dining room table, or perhaps choose the more casual route with counter seating. Should you want to grab some lobster fresh off the dock and give your own boil a shot, the kitchen has been recently upgraded with quartz counters and stainless appliances and includes everything you would need to cook your lobster feast.

Should you require a little additional space to spread out, the property also has a separate bunkhouse. The suite consists of a queen memory foam bed, high ceilings, all tastefully decorated to give off that Jackson Hole, WY vibe. Also on property is a spacious daybed where you can drink in the views of the bay and a camp grill with equally enviable views. If you want a closer look at that beautiful view, we have two kayaks on site with two adult and one children's life vest.

Absolutely stunning!

The property far exceeded our expectations, we had deer walking in the front yard and the ocean was our back yard. If you are looking for the hustle and bustle of the city, this is not where you want to be but if you are looking for a relaxed and rural setting where you can explored Maines rural beauty, this is the house for you! Scott, the owner, was extremely responsive in the booking process and Ray, the property manager went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great stay.Thank you!

Fantastic!

The house, the area, the host - so amazing! The house has everything you need and there’s a lot of beautiful attention to details to the interior and the decoration. Ray was very helpful and super nice. The pictures don’t do the house justice - it’s so much nicer in real. All exceeded our expectations.

The Perfect Vacation Cabin

The photographs don't do the cabin justice, nor does the description give the right amount of praise to the host, Ray. From the moment we arrived Ray was on hand to provide details, local information, and suggestions. He wasn't intrusive or overbearing - just available when we needed him. The cabin itself is perfect for a couple or small family. It is RIGHT on the water. There is no "beach", but the rocks are large and perfect for setting up the provided chairs to enjoy the sun and surf. We used the telescope in the house to search the stars. While we were there, Jupiter was prominent and we were able to see 4 of it's moons! We spent most of the time there on the deck watching the lobster boats, the stars, the surf, and the various wildlife. We saw seals and birds of all kinds, including herons, pelicans, many gulls, and some kind of black duck or loon type of bird fishing the bay. The location is a little remote - you're about 20 mins away from Milbridge, which is the closest grocery store and fishmonger. You're an hour away from Bar Harbor. But if you want a place to relax, listen to records, watch the ocean and the stars, and enjoy the coast of Maine, this is the place for you. We added a book (Death in Acadia) and a couple of baking pans to the supplies (I made coffee cake while we were there). It's a gorgeous property and we didn't have nearly enough time to take full advantage of all it had to offer. We will be back.

Perfect Location!

The house is in a tranquil and relaxing location right on the water. Watching the lobster boats go in and out was a perfect way to unwind. The house is also in a great location to see local attractions, such as Acadia National Park and the West Quoddy Lighthouse. Ray is great and gave us lots of local info. We will definitely return.

late August Maine

We enjoyed our stay so much. So quiet, lots of locals, good food without the crowds. Sitting on the porch watching the moon and the birds and hearing the water lap the rocks was a real treat. The house is super clean and updated, too. Our young adult son stayed in the bunk house, which worked out perfectly. Last but definitely not least, Ray, the property manager, elevated the stay to a whole new level! He listened to our interests and gave us a lot of tips, all of which were spot on. We Love Ray!!!! It was neat to meet someone from Maine who could answer pretty much any question and who made us feel like not just anonymous rental people but a welcome part of Downeast Maine.

Amazing home away from home

We had an amazing week at this property. It very clean, had everything we needed for the week. We loved everything about the house, the view is amazing, (the windows were probably MY favorite feature) quiet and solitude is as well. I cannot say enough good things about the manager, Ray. He was so friendly and kind and full of great information that helped us decide what our plans were going to be.

Quiet bay down the road from a national wildlife refuge.

Quiet and peaceful…the rustic home is a beautiful place with fantastic setup. Away from the crowds but close enough for an easy drive to the sites. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another stay.

Beautiful view, nice property, wonderful property manager

My family and I stayed for about a week, and I would absolutely go back. Most favorite things: the view off the back patio, being able to look at tide pools amongst the rocks once the tide went out, the quiet, and the very helpful, incredibly friendly but not intrusive property manager, Ray, who gave us a great sense of the area and good places to go. Least favorite: it was very hot a couple of the days we were there, which made sleeping in the upstairs rooms a bit uncomfortable. We're on the larger size so the beds were a bit snug but that's not the fault of the property, just something to be aware of.

The home was exactly like it was portrayed online. We had absolutely everything we needed at the house. Ray checked in with us and was very helpful in giving tips and hints as to things to do. His honesty was very much appreciated. He was quick to respond if we texted with a question or concern. Would definitely recommend this location to friends bd would gladly stay here again.

A true Maine retreat

The seclusion and location of this property make this property an idyllic and iconic Maine Harbor experience. Ray has thought through many details from decor to a cottage handbook that gave many helpful suggestions from places to see in the area to good dining options. The cottage was in great shape and was extremely clean and comfortable. Ray was also very good at communicating and listening to feedback. We would definitely consider recommending this place to others who are looking for a true Maine coast experience.

Steuben Stay

This place is absolutely stunning. It is as clean as a whistle and easy to find. Ray, the property manager, is as good as gold. Unbelievably helpful and knows the area inside and out. All of his recommendations were spot-on. We did miss not having a microwave though. And the bunk house is charming and very comfortable. Be forewarned though—it has no shades or blinds, which would be much appreciated! The property is secluded, but it would be nice to close some blinds. There is no cable for the television. You must stream through your own apps—which was doable, yet still a nuisance. We were a party of three adults over 65 and these comments are from us all. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thanks again to Ray!

Don't stay here.

The view was incredible. Other than a very pleasant bunk house, that's where the positive experience ends. The building has structural issues. There's significant settlement problems. Only half of the doors closed including the two bathroom doors. There's a very noticeable sag in the middle of the roof. There was no microwave oven. The place was a fair distance from anything and virtually no restaurants or bars in the vicinity.
