Cozy little cottage

Cozy little cottage on the lake! We greatly enjoyed our home away from home. It is tiny but it was just what we needing in a landing pad for our day hiking trips in beautiful Acadia. There were some plumbing issues while we were staying there, but Peter got right on fixing it.

Great location

Host communicated with us throughout the visit. Enjoyed the location. Only complaint would be the shower head. A new one would do wonders.

Great rustic cabin overlooking Frenchman’s Bay

Loved the cabin - it was perfect for our family. We were happy to be out of town and on the water, beds were comfy and the cabin clean. Had enough pots and pans, utensils to cook meals.

Family summer vacation

This was the first time we visited Maine, and Maine did not disappoint. Spruce met all our needs and Peter was the perfect host. He was quick to answer all my questions/ texts as well as fix the outside deck light. The house had everything we needed to make our own meals and hang out at night playing cards. Also having a house on the beach was a great way to spend time fishing or walking or just sitting Spruce is in the perfect location to Bar Harbor, Acadia, National Park, as well as the surrounding areas. We loved our dinners from Mainely barbecue, as well as Sweet Peas. C-Rays lobster was the best around. I highly recommend Spruce to anybody visiting the Bar Harbor area and wanting to wake up every morning to hear the ocean waves on the beach. I am sure we will return one day and hope to stay at Spruce again. Thanks Peter and team for ensuring a wonderful vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Miano

I first came to Maine and Mt. Desert Island as an 18 year old bound for a year long volunteer assignment at Our School in Robbinston, about 100 miles east of MDI. That is when I fell in love with the land and seascapes of Maine, its natural beauty, its powerful seasons (if you haven't discovered Maine in Winter, maybe now is the time), and its rich heritage. Over the years, I returned often to Acadia and Downeast for family vacations.

Why they chose this property

After a long, tedious search for a place to buy and enjoy and after several frustrations, I found Shore Haven, although it wasn't called that at the time. It was love a first sight. In addition, I purchased the adjacent property, which has a Cape house. Shore Haven's unsurpassed natural setting and extraordinary access to all the amenities of MDI, not to mention all of Downeast and the interior as well, were strong attraction for me. Shore Haven's chalet's (Overlook, Spruce, Birch), and Cape (the Cape Lookout), offered the opportunity of welcoming others to enjoy MCI the same way that I do with my family and friends. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. I hope the Maine coast enchants you the way is does me. Relax, have fun, soak up the atmosphere. Welcome to Shore Haven.
