We could not say enough great things about this stay! It was the perfect home base for us to explore Acadia National Park. We enjoyed bonfires by the water, played games around the table, and had amazing views from the large windows. We had 5 adults and there was more than enough room for everyone! It was decorated so cute. Had everything we needed and more! Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful location on the cove. Quiet and lots of nature to enjoy. Just a short drive to everything we wanted to do and see. Home was clean and was perfect for our family vacation. Loved having the fire pit for lots of family time and laughs at night. The coffee bar upstairs was great!

Really nice house in a great location. I’ve stayed in a bunch of places around MDI and this ranks as one of the best. The yard and views are fantastic, the house had everything we could have wanted, and access to both the park and town were super easy.

The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We especially appreciated the outside seating area overlooking the water, it made for beautiful sunset views!

The house sits beautifully between a nice yard and the water. We spent a good amount of time sitting in the chairs that abut the cove. The kitchen was very functional and all the furniture was comfortable to sit on. It was very peaceful and only minutes away from Acadia Park. We enjoyed the coffee bar that was set up next to the bedrooms. We even saw a red fox in the road in front of the house.
