Bar Harbor & Acadia Main Entrance (45 mins): Easy access to Cadillac Mountain and the Park Loop Road.
Bangor (55 mins): The nearest major airport (BGR) and urban amenities.

Adventure at Your Doorstep
You don’t have to drive far to find the magic of Maine. We are located just minutes from:
The Sunrise Trail: 85 miles of multi-use trails for biking, walking, or ATV adventures.
Blackwoods Scenic Byway: One of the most beautiful drives in the state, cutting through forests and past hidden ponds.
Local Secret Beaches: Enjoy quiet Maine shorelines just a short drive away.

The Space
Designed for those looking to unplug and recharge, the property is surrounded by natural beauty and silence. After a day of exploring the coast, return home to a secluded setting where the only neighbors are the trees.
Guest Notes: This property is ideal for travelers who want to experience the "Real Maine." We recommend a car for exploring the surrounding scenic byways and coastal towns.

A week to see the New England's world.

The house was fantastic. Clean and decorated so cute. The house was located closed enough to tourists attraction yet far enough away for piece and quiet. Getting back to mother nature. The attraction we're seeing lighthouses. Tour of the land by plane and whale watching.
