About this property

'Aerie' is a beautiful summer retreat set high above Frenchman Bay’s rocky coast, with stunning panoramic views of Mount Desert Island and the Skillings River. It sits on 4 acres with 200’ of impressive shore front and is sun-filled from morning until night. Perched high above the bay, every room looks out over the treetops. The cottage is very spacious with a large living/dining area and a smaller library with a fireplace. Upstairs the loft offers additional living space with TV, games, and a card table. The three bedrooms sleep six in total. The master suite has its own entrance, dressing room, and private bath with a claw foot tub (also with an ocean view! ) and a separate shower with seat. Other highlights are the large 18’ x 18’ screened porch with sunset views, a large (560 s.f.) deck high above the water, and a 2nd story open roof deck, perfect for breakfast.

This property is our family’s happy place to go!

This trip marks our third time staying at Betsy’s property. Each time we relax even more & make fabulous memories together. Betsy as a hostess is simply delightful. You feel as though she is a friend. She is an excellent and very detailed communicator. She has great suggestions by email for things to do. The house feels so comfortable….like a true home. The view up the Skillings River is beyond beautiful. Truly one of a kind. You can enjoy it from the porch, screened porch, or upper deck….take your pick! We enjoy eatting outside on her large tables to enjoy sunset! Her kitchen is better equipped than ours at home!! So much fun to cook in her kitchen! Local seafood is amazing too! We love hiking Acadia, the Schoodic Pennisula, and surrounding areas. Ellsworth is close by for provisioning easily. This area is so calming. The home is so peaceful and beautifully decorated. Betsy has our same taste in books (with plenty to read while there). She also has lots of games and a game table upstairs to play around. Every room in the house has a unique beautiful view to enjoy. You have access to a beautiful private rocky beach at low tide. You might even find some beach glass, we always do! It does have a steep ladder down to it, but well worth it. All the furniture is comfy and placed to enjoy the views. I reiterate that this home truly is our family’s happy place to go! A true delight, beyond 5 stars in every way!

A quiet, beautiful sanctuary

We stayed for a week at the end of May. We're a family of five adults. The house is well-proportioned, perfect for spreading out and relaxing. The view is the highlight and can't be beat. We felt truly away from it all. The house has just about everything you need. We enjoyed having coffee with the view each morning and watching the sunset from the deck. It was a lovely experience and hope to return again.

Very good house , but NO PRIVACY

Pros: House has everything you need , Great View , friendly owner, good location. Cons: NO PRIVACY you have to share house with the owner , they're living downstairs at the same property. They should disclosed it , in description of the property. If I knew in advance that i have to share property with the owner i would't booked.

Exceeded Very High Expectations

The setting, the house, the host, the area...all are perfection. Betsy could not have been a better host. From our first contact, when planning our trip, to her countless suggestions re activities, restaurants, shops...Betsy was a delight. The house has a spectacular deck, lovely views from every room, and the kitchen is stocked with everything you could need to cook and serve your crew. This was an outstanding vacation destination/base that we definitely plan to visit again....and soon!
