Great View!
It was great! Loved the fire pit evenings watching the sun go down over the water! Great location! Plenty of space!! This home doesn’t work for someone who is disabled, because of all bedrooms being upstairs, and all the steps from room to room downstairs!.

We loved our stay. Puffin House is beautiful and the scenery is breathtaking. Loved sitting outdoors watching the bay. The house is very roomy and nicely decorated. We visited nearby Blue Hill for some shopping and to eat at two local restaurants. Watching the orange moon come up and "cue the coyotes!!" was quite an experience. We wished we'd had longer time to stay. Definitely check this out for your next Maine coast get away.

Coastal Maine gem
Puffin Rock checked all of our boxes for a fantastic 2-week family vacation with extended family and local relatives in nearby Brooklin. The kayaks and SUP’s, expansive beach access, fire pit, deck and overlook seating near the beach provided so many ways to enjoy the woods and coastline. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking in, and the house was roomy enough for everyone to feel comfortable. The proximity to Brooklin, with its nice market, a few good restaurants, a great library, the Wooden Boat School, and plenty of hiking trails just out of town meant there was something for everyone to enjoy. We look forward to another visit!!

great area for a family visit
Eight members of our family enjoyed our stay at beautiful Puffin Rock on the bay. Puffin Rock is quiet and peaceful with lots of space for us to spread out and do our own thing. The house was fine and well equipped. We rented two kayaks (not-sit-on-tops) and using these and the paddleboard took turns to explore the tiny islands and different parts of the bay. A playful seal was often behind us. Naskeag Point, the Wooden Boat School and Harriman Point are local places we especially liked. On a walk toward Naskeag Point, on the right-hand side of the road, there is a small hard-to-see entrance to several short trails through the woods. Lovely walk. At Harriman Point, we were surprised to see a porcupine and later learned there are many around Brooklin. There are many, many things to do outside of Brooklin. Some of us biked the Carriage Trail at Acadia. We went to Deer Isle and Stonington. We hiked the mossy wooded trail at Barred Island Preserve and spent some time in Northeast Harbor. On our last day, with the help of a local contact, we were able to get lobsters off the boat in Brooklin which was a fantastic ending to a wonderful week. My one suggestion is to put more information about the amenities on the website – that the coffee pot is Keurig, that there are beach towels, that there is propane gas and fire-starter. And, it would be helpful to know about the kayaks: what kind (sit on-tops only?) and how many kayaks are there.

Wonderful Time & Made Great Memories
Puffin Rock was a great place for my family & my sisters family to stay. There were nine of us who stayed there….4 adults & then our children ranging from 19 years old to 15 years old. The four full baths were a blessing & the 5 bedrooms with comfortable beds was a bonus. There was plenty of towels, wash cloths, kitchen appliances & dishes. The view was breathtaking & the peacefulness around the house was exactly what we needed. The boys thoroughly enjoyed the canoe & kayaks & the adults enjoyed sitting around the camp fire. We would also go out at night & gaze at the millions of stars in the sky. We ventured into Acadia & Bar Harbor while we were there. It took us right at an hour to reach our destinations in Acadia, but we knew that going in so we weren’t surprised by it. Acadia has the most beautiful scenery around & everyone we met was super friendly. I encourage everyone to go there… I would highly recommend this quaint place to anyone. We were not ready to leave.

Amazing stay!
My family and friends all enjoyed our stay at Puffin Rock! The house had ample space, was very clean with plenty of supplies, and the access to the water/beach was amazing! I walked the beach area all but one morning; it was so peaceful. Plenty of things were provided to occupy the kids when the weather was bad. It is a bit of a drive to Acadia, but not unbearable, and after the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor it was nice to come back to quiet. The pace of life felt so much slower in Maine, and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Would come back in a heartbeat!
