Washer and dryer to keep your laundry up to date, and a wood stove and area heaters to keep you toasty on chilly Maine evenings. All kitchen gear you'll need to cook up your gourmet lobster feasts.

The cottage was designed by a noted local architect and our renovations make it a contemporary, stylish gem. Please look at the recent reviews for a sense of how our guests have liked the place. It is optimal for one or two adults, and we have seen a very strong interest in the September and October season when the weather and views can be amazing.

Situated on 3 acres of oceanfront, the very private property features a pond, vegetable and flower gardens, pink granite beach and lush lawns. Help yourself to the vegetable garden.

Space available for bike and other vacation toys in garage.

Ideally situated for boaters, bikers and hikers to enjoy Acadia National Park and life in Manset, home of boatbuilders, fishermen and craftstmen. Nearby Acadia locations are Seawall, Seawall Campground and Picnic Areas, Wonderland, Ship Harbor and the Bass Harbor Lighthouse.

About the host

Hosted by Grant Castle

Host profile image
Owners on property in main house on the 3 acre estate. We live here about half of the year. Our son is grown and on his own, so it is very quiet here.

Why they chose this property

Our family has vacationed and lived in the area for generations, so it was preordained that we would end up somewhere nearby. When we had a chance to buy this place we jumped on it.

What makes this property unique

We found this property 24 years ago abandoned because of the time and expense it takes to keep an oceanfront property up to date. It took us 21 years to get it right, but now it is a truly first class environment.
