Exceptional Place

Devilstone is an amazing place. The property far exceeded the listing. It was impressive inside and out, comfortable and well decorated. It felt like a step back in time with many antiques and an historic past. Although it is well suited to a wedding or similar event our family of six enjoyed every minute. Only regret was that we didn’t have more family and friends with us to share the experience.

Beautiful Estate and View

The house was in the perfect location with many amenities which made it convenient for our large group. Being able to walk to town either on the shore path or street was great! The sunrise was beautiful every morning and you can lay bed watching it unfold, as well as many other windows in the estate. Kitchen was large and functional, fire pit and grill were great and laundry was a bonus. Lauren was so kind and helpful too! Our favorite part was sitting in the chairs overlooking the sea, pure magic.

Gorgeous property

This place is amazing. There were 9 of us staying at this beautiful property. We had plenty of room. The grounds are breathtaking. Well equipped kitchen for cooking. Our only regret is not finding it sooner and staying for more than three nights.

Beautiful home with lots of history

We loved our stay at Devilstone Cottage. The history of the home was fun to study, and you can’t beat the location. When we entered the home for the first time, it’s like we stepped back in time to another world, and that was quite fun for us. The house worked great for multiple families and lots of kids. We walked to downtown Bar Harbor and also walked the trail right behind the house. If you get the chance, book your stay here!

Wonderful stay in a great location

The stay was amazing. The location of the house is unmatched and despite some lousy weather, the whole family loved our trip. The house was clean, well stocked with everything we could have needed, and the garden is absolutely extraordinary. Add in an ocean view and you have yourself the perfect stay. Thanks so much!

Why they chose this property

Devilstone is a truly amazing place. This home is such a warm and inviting place to gather with friends and family. It’s a place that I love to spend time at any time of year. I love its history and thoroughly enjoy renovating and restoring this slice of Bar Harbor's gilded age.
