About the host

What makes this property unique
This cabin was built by our father, a theoretical physicist, who wished to spend his retirement enjoying Mount Desert Island’s natural beauty and calming pace. His lifestyle was monastic in nature - a mixture of prayer, study and working the land. His extensive library encompassed volumes on science, art, poetry, history and many other subjects. As you may have already noticed, he was also an amateur astronomer who devoted many a cold Maine night to looking through his telescope; his observations were recorded in international astronomy databases.
He always believed that this serene spot encouraged spiritual rejuvenation. We hope that this holds true for you as well!
