For all there is the Milky Way Galaxy unfolding above you, looking up at one of clearest night sky's in the northeast!

About the host
Hosted by Steven Woitasek
Born and raised in Massachusetts, I've been a frequent visitor to Downeast Maine and this property all of my life. I've lived in the Portland Maine area since 2001, starting in 2009, I decided to move to Bar Harbor (the gateway service town for Acadia National Park) where I worked as a seasonal restaurant employee and manager. In 2018, my life partner and I purchased the Black Friar Inn and Pub, a seasonal Bed and Breakfast/Restaurant located in the village section of Bar Harbor. In the off season (Dec-April), we live in Portland Maine, the rest of the time we are busy taking care of restaurant or inn guests. We do enjoy spending time out doors, hiking, traveling, craft beer and cider, and exploring small towns around New England and beyond
Why they chose this property
This property was purchased by my family in 1964, over the years the cottage has had several additions, including a deck and the large family / bonus room at the back of the cottage. Also upgrades to the electric, well, and septic systems. The cottage is fully insulted and has been used as a year residence for several years in the early 90s and again in the mid 2000s. The land lot is basically a large rectangle that goes from Pigeon Hill Rd on the front to the waters of Carrying Place Cove on the back, there is a private road/wide trail that runs the length of the property one side, there is also a large salt / fresh water clay mash that is part of the property as you head toward the cove. There is very little standing water, but the mash acts a large sponge for rain run off and as a buffer for higher then avg tides. Over the last 50+ years many generations have enjoyed this area and the peacefulness it can offer, especially outside of the busy months of July and August
What makes this property unique
Downeast Maine is unique in general, and this property is no exception, the cottage sits about 2/3 of the way down Petitt Mann Point, at a very narrow spot, with water on both sides, the house faces east/west with gives a great views of the early morning sunrise and stunning long sunsets over Carrying Place Cove to the west. The cottage is short walk to both the Pigeon Hill Conversation Area and Petitt Mann Federal Wild Life Refuge, because of this there are very few buildings beyond our location, and almost no traffic. It is not uncommon, especially in the spring and fall to sit on the back deck and hear nothing but nature for hours. At night, with the area being one of the least unpopulated areas in the Northeast the night time light pollution is very low, both the moon and night time sky are extremely bright and vibrant.
