About this property

If you want the real Maine experience this is it. The Boathouse sits on the rocky coast of Frenchman Bay with views of Acadia Nation Park Schoodic and Mark Island. A wall of windows in the modern farmhouse open concept living area brings the outside in. Enjoy meals on the beautiful handmade farmhouse table. Relax to the lapping of waves on the shore. Watch the Lobster Boats as they pull their traps. Rent a bike to explore the bike trails in Acadia National Park Schoodic. The entrance is just two miles from the Boathouse. Hiking in the park or walking to shops and restaurants, the sight and smell of the ocean is all around you.

Boathouse in Whiter Harbor

Location was great for us - looking east across harbor. Sunrise & moon rising every day. Not on busy road - harbor frontage. We were very comfortable here.

A perfect get away

The boathouse is cozy and beautifully decorated. We could sit inside and with windows open hear the waves ripple up and see lobster boats and harvesting in action just outside. The area is low key and convenient to Acadia.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Brackett

Hi, I'm Cheryl Brackett, the property manager of the Boathouse and several other properties in the area. I live close by and enjoy all the outdoor activities this beautiful area has to offer. Living year round gives me a chance to see Acadia National Park in all four seasons. If you have any questions about the area I can send you to the right person. Hope yo see you soon.

Why they chose this property

I love the Boathouse because it is so unique. It was built right on the rocky shore of Frenchman Bay. If you love the ocean like I do, you will be delighted by the sound of the waves, the smell of the salt air and watching the lobster boats coming and going from the pier.
