Casita stay

We had the most enjoyable stay at Arax’s Casita. It has lovely water views and in the evenings it is so peaceful and you will enjoy the sounds of the loons! The place is comfortable and spotlessly clean with everything in working order and she is prompt to reply to any questions.

Best place EVER!!

We can’t say enough wonderful things about the house or our host, Arax! She thought of EVERYTHING in this house and even left us fresh cheese, blueberries and wine as a treat when we arrived! She also had many extras that you don’t see elsewhere - shampoos, face wash, lotions, firewood, portable chairs (we took to top of Cadillac summit to watch sunset one night) etc! The location is absolutely perfect - we spent most nights on the shore overlooking somes sound, watching the moon rise - with a fire in the firepit! We used the firepit in front of the house one night which was wonderful too! we enjoyed everything in Acadia national park and in Bar Harbor too! This house is best location because you can easily access park and bar harbor (and southwest harbor too) but stay in this private oasis - with unbelievable landscaping overlooking the water. There was another family who stayed in the big house (on same property) during a few days of our stay but we only saw each other once!! (they joined us around the firepit one night and were super nice!) we can’t say enough great things about this house or the property! It was just me and my husband on this trip (so we rented the smaller house) but we definitely plan to return with our whole family next time and rent the big house for all of us!

Quiet stay in the woods

This cabin, part of a compound of three homes, is beautiful and cozy. Thoughtful touches are everywhere and Arax is very quick to communicate. The only issue I had was lack of cellular service.

Perfect retreat

This cottage is a little gem! It is so cozy and beautiful. The perfect place to come home after a long day of hiking or sight seeing in the area. Arax is a wonderful host. She stocked the cottage with snacks and coffee and even had a bottle of wine waiting for us in the fridge when we arrived. She was also so helpful with restaurant recommendations and hiking in the area. Communication with her was a breeze. We loved having our coffee down by the sound in the morning where we could watch the seals and other wildlife. The bed was so comfortable and I honestly slept better there than I do at home! She has thought of everything to make this a home away from home. We had a perfect stay and can’t wait to return. Thank you Arax for creating such a wonderful retreat.
