About this property

Blue Heaven at Blue Hill - Classic Maine Living near Acadia!

Beautiful, 4 Bedroom country home on 24 acres. Our home sits on a hill nestled in a forest across the street from Blue Hill Bay. Enjoy the best of Maine with the surrounding woods, yet close to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park (29 miles) and quaint towns with charming shops and restaurants. This home creates a warm Maine feel with a wood burning fireplace in the living/ family area, a large screened porch with a gas burning fireplace; both well suited for family and friends to gather or for simply being cozy with a good novel. There is a large fire pit area outside with seating for 10 to enjoy on cool nights. A large wrap-around porch offers another great family gathering area. If you like to hike, antique, bike, sail, shop small unique stores, and eat wonderful Maine lobsters and crab, this is the place!

The home is spacious and perfect for a large family vacationing in the Blue Hill area. The house and kitchen was well equipped for large groups. Ample supply of paper products was also a welcome surprise given past homes we have rented that had no Kleenex, minimal toilet paper and no paper towels. The grill, deck and fire pit were all well set up and the property quiet and peaceful. Great property!

The memories we are collecting from our weeks in Blue Heaven are woven into the fabric of our llives. From spotting deer to vigourous debates on the back porch to eating smores by the firepit to gorgeous walks through the woods and OF COURSE our treasured lobsters all create a beautiful montage for us to feast upon during the months intervening between stays.

Such an amazing property with lots of wonderful touches included to make this an ideal space for a family vacation. We particularly liked the sunporch and the deer family that visited us a few times during our stay. The path to walk around the property was a nice bonus. Pro

Heavenly

It's been several years since we've been to visit Maine and we were celebrating a milestone anniversary, so we wanted to stay somewhere comfortable and where we could get away from the rat race, and Blue Heaven fit the bill. What a wonderful, magical place! Everything you could want or need was there and the house was so clean, and it felt like home away from home. Would absolutely recommend to others and will be back the next time in Maine. Mary, the host, was wonderful and easy to communicate with. Love it!

Best vacation I ever had

I had the pleasure of taking my family to this Maine home on the coast last summer. We were blown away at how beautiful the house and the area were. The community is quaint with fantastic restaurants, local fairs, amazing blueberries and antique stores galore. But, truth be told, we never wanted to leave this tranquil home. Everything we needed was there. It is spacious and peaceful. The kitchen is a gourmet cooks delight. I enjoyed my morning coffee on the front porch looking at the coast and the whole family spent hours on the screened patio reading, playing board games and enjoying the perfect Maine summer weather. I cannot wait to go back!

SUBLIME

This is our third year of renting this property. Our first year was adults with one child. Now there are three children under the age of 5. The porch is a perfect room for bringing the family together. Ample space for toys and mayhem. but the real magic of this place is that there are any number of places to which one can escape when the mayhem gets to much. The kitchen was very well stocked and the views are breathtaking, furniture comfortable and the survivor’s guide had every conceivable bit of information anyone renting the house could need. I don’t want it to get any more popular than it already is but this is an a plus experience.

Amazing home for extended vacation!

We had the privilege of staying at this property for 9 nights. It is a remote location with plenty of space for a family to have alone time or together time. The property sits back off the road and is backed up to woods where there’s a wonderful fire pit. There were some other homes barely visible through the trees, but we only saw someone else one time. The house was well maintained, homey and well stocked - they really do think of everything! Each bedroom had a box fan and most bedrooms had a ceiling fan as well - the weather was very humid in July, but the evenings cooled down enough that fans were definitely sufficient even though they do not have air conditioning. There’s a local Hannaford and Blue Hill Co-op 10 minutes away, both of which sell a good selection of organic and allergen-friendly foods. It is about an hour from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

Pure Joy

I tried to book this property for next year before a wrote this review because I wanted to make sure we secured it since it is simply the most wonderful place in this part of Maine. But alas, apparently there are others who feel the same way. It breaks my heart that we will have to find another property but the early bird gets the worm. I cannot write anything negative about this wonderful place. Think of it. You have two septuagenarians, one sixty five year old mother of twin boys who are now married with children of their own and it was a perfect gathering of generations and cultures. This is our second year in this property our 35th year in this part of Maine and my husband said upon leaving: This was the best time EVER. I agree

Away From The Crowds

We were a family of eight: parents with their grown children and their spouses/significant others. We came to Maine to celebrate my 80th birthday. Blue Heaven accommodated all our needs. The kitchen was well equipped for some amazing meal preparations that we each took turns preparing most evenings. It almost became a competition to see who could make the most delicious and eye appealing dinner. We enjoyed a hike around Jordan Pond, visiting the Nearing home and gardens, dining out at Union River Lobster Pot and also a last night special dinner at Arborvine. Four members of our group rented e-bikes in Bar Harbor and rode a half day on the beautiful Carriage Trails in Acadia. Several members also hiked to Mount Cadillac and hiked Bubbles and a few other major hiking trails. We visited Thunder Hole one morning and also walked along the Sea Path in Bar Harbor ending at some of the shops and restaurants there. Note that due to heavy traffic in the summer months, a trip to Acadia can take 1 and 1/2 hours each way. So plan your activities accordingly. Our morning whale watch trip out of BarHarbor was cancelled as we were approaching Bar Harbor due to fog. We were disappointed, but spent the time on the sea path and shopping. We recommend Blue Heaven as a wonderful place to relax and feel at home. The grounds are lovely. Mary is a perfect host. We made so many memories there.

Great place, great location, great fun

We had 8 adults staying at this lovely 4 bedroom house. It was spacious, clean and well maintained. The property was beautiful and had exactly what we needed. That included a nice patio, huge front porch and back deck area. Oh.... did i mention the perfect fire pit for night time hanging out. I highly recommend this house.

Comfort and amenities

Blue Heaven, set back from the road a few hundred feet and surrounded on three sides by wooded property, is private and quiet, yet is a short drive to the town of Blue Hill, a good supermarket, fantastic food coop and a Walgreens drugstore. The house has well furnished comfortable seating areas, and for our group of 6 older people, the bedrooms have very comfortable beds, and nice quality bed linens. Each bedroom had a closet with more than enough room to put way our things. Aside from the living/den area, there is a large screened porch with more comfortable seating, so for six people who love to be with each other, there is still plenty of room to spread out and not be on top of one another for the week. The front porch and back patio are additional spaces to hang out. The ping pong table in the basement was great for a rainy day, as well as an assortment of games and books in the living room. The property also has shaded gravel paths looping around it for a mile plus walk, and Blue Hill Falls is another walk just up the road. The owner replied immediately to a minor problem, and there is a caretaker a phone call away. A couple of months before our stay the owner emailed the most extensive detailed guide to the house and the Blue Hill area that I've ever received on a rental. All in all, it was great house in a lovely area with an owner committed to the comfort of guests.

Wonderful in many ways!

Mary's home is clean, spacious, comfortable, welcoming and beautifully decorated. We were eight senior adults and spent most of our time on the great front porch or huge screened in room, both of which easily allow more than eight people to sit and have a conversation in comfort. About 45 minutes from Acadia and Bar Harbor, the home is close enough for easy visits and far enough to be completely quiet and secluded. The four "senior" men went tubing on the Kennebec River, about two hours away, and had a blast. We all went whale watching out of Bar Harbor and had a very successful trip with lots of full breaching. If we ever return, we will unquestionably rent Mary's home again. You will not be disappointed if you stay in this home, because that is what it is, a home! Tom & Penn

About the host

Hosted by Mary McCarty

Host profile image
We live in South Florida where we work as business consultants. We loved traveling the world, but found Maine to be the place that charmed us most! And so, in 2003 we bought this property and began building our Maine home, Blue Heaven! We opened the home to our friends and guests in 2005, and plan to spend our summers and falls there when we retire.

Why they chose this property

After traveling through out the US and Europe, we found no beauty like Maine beauty. We were charmed by the lovely towns, the quaint shops, the rugged seacoast and the Maine people. We fell in love with this area and felt it was the perfect place to retreat to with friends and family. Blue Heaven is a place where wonderful memories are built.

What makes this property unique

The people of Maine and their rugged history of living off the sea is quite unique. Maine people are hardy people, who love their picturesque quaint towns and their majestic, wild landscapes. There are wonderful art galleries, unique antique stores, beautiful golf courses, challenging hikes and GREAT eating establishments.
