A secluded paradise!

Our family had such a memorable time while staying at this house. We drove the hour long drive to Acadia Nat’l Park/Bar Harbor area twice even though our young adult sons would have been happy to meet the days high tide on the bay in the kayaks. The views at Acadia, Schoodic Peninsula and from the living area in the house were all beautiful. Phil and Kim were great and we would love to stay here again!

Amazing family vacation!

Overall loved this property. We enjoyed being near Acadia but far enough away to be away from the crowds. Drive into Acadia wasn't bad, and the ferry from winter harbor to bar harbor was also easy and enjoyable! The property is on the water so make sure to bring mosquito spray and warm clothes as the evenings got cold but enjoyable.

Fantastic Property and Great Owner!

My family and I spent a week in this quiet home right on a bay. We enjoyed fires by the water, the beautiful accommodations and very responsive owner. We were thrilled with the property and my wife and I agreed that it was one of the more relaxing vacations we have ever had. My 7 year old loved it too.

This is a great peaceful secluded setting away from it all yet close to a neat little town of Winter Harbor and the "other" Acadia less crowded with great hiking and beautiful scenery. The owners are very accommodating. Very clean and well kept.

Beautiful home

Home was clean and nicely decorated. Furniture was clean and in good condition. 4 stars for listing accuracy because the high chair wasn't in the house. The owner promptly got it for us once requested and we felt the access for kayaking was difficult. The kayaks were in the yard and there were no stairs or dock leading from the yard to the bay, just a steep path with large loose stones. Nice outdoor area but mosquitoes were bad so we didn't get to enjoy it as much as we would have liked. Very nice grill on deck. Kitchen and baths were well stocked.

Beautiful getaway

This property was perfect for peaceful, relaxing time away with the family. The house is beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. The hosts provided everything you could need for your stay. They checked in with us the day of arrival and next morning and were always prompt with any responses. There was a nice variety of kayaks amd canoes, as well as life vests in varyihg sizes. We enjoyed being out on the water when the tide was in. We really enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it!

Real Maine

Super well appointed house at the end of long access way. Nice and secluded, but everything you could possibly need is provided. Access to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park is easy enough. A local ferry is also convenient for passengers. Grindstone Golf course is quite scenic, and local seafood is excellent. There is even a street side pie stand up the street. Homeowners are completes pros and easy to work with. This place is a winner.

Maine Vacation

Wonderful new house right on the water! The extreme tides on the bay were truly an amazing sight. Kayaks were appreciated by all and well used. Nice big kitchen/dining/living area. We loved the porches for relaxing and viewing the waterfront. Owner was very quick to respond to a faulty ice maker, and Mr. Adams had it fixed ASAP. Beautiful clean home, and thanks again for a great vacation week.

Generous Owners & Restorative Vacation

Our family enjoyed the owner's helpful and generous hospitality! They share their gorgeous home, its contents and their fleet of kayaks and canoes with those who rest here. The ocean bay views are calming, the home is extremely comfortable and beautiful, and you are able to relax in the quiet peace of this property. It's so close to the Schoodic Peninsula of Acadia (stunningly beautiful) and day trips to the larger part of Acadia (Sand Beech, hikes, Cadillac Mountain, Thunder Hole and more) as well as to Bar Harbor were easy and a gorgeous drive. If we didn't live so far away, we'd gladly stay here every year :) Thank you, thank you!

Beautiful House & View!

The house was amazing and very well-equipped with everything we could have possibly needed. The multiple kayaks, canoes, life vests, fire pit and huge yard made our stay fun & relaxing! The only reason why I'm giving the overall stay 4 stars has nothing to do with the owners or the house - the Green Head Flies were a bit much at certain times of the day. It made any water activity slightly annoying. However, this was just a small part of our time there. We were there towards the end of July. Perhaps there's a specific time-frame that the green heads are active. Every other part of our stay there was fantastic. We were able to take a quick 45 minute ferry to Bar Harbor or drive there in about an hour, which made accessing Acadia very easy. The owners were amazing, Phil answered questions immediately and the house was so beautiful with ample space and all needs were easily met. I highly recommend this beautiful spot!
