Take a ferry to Bar Harbor for exquisite shopping and dining or explore the nature trails in Acadia National Park; both are located within driving distance (approximately 4 miles away).

A second living area boasts wall-to-wall windows and includes a sofa, armchair, and rocking chair.

Fix a cup of tea and relax in the den that offers an additional sofa and plush armchair.

KITCHEN & DINING

Sharpen your culinary skills in the well-equipped kitchen with a full suite of all-white appliances. Gather at the four-person dining table for a traditional New England lobster dinner.

Peaceful retreat
Myself and my family stayed at this property for a week. Had a few bumps when we first got there but the property manager was absolutely amazing. Responded immediately and got everything straightened out. The property is beautiful whether you are outside or looking out from inside. Was further than I thought from Acadia but we managed. No issues with the hot water and there were 6 of us. We had fun filled days and very peaceful relaxing evenings. Wonderful rental.

Great house, great location!
This house was exactly as described in the listing. Beautiful property! We enjoyed the area and it was easy to get to the local parks and businesses. The property provided linens, towels and kitchenware. We had no problem with the water pressure during our visit. The property managers were prompt in responding to our questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful quiet setting
We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Flower. The house is clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the water. We liked the proximity to Acadia (Schoodic) which we visited on multiple occasions. The listing did not indicate which portion of Acadia was 4 miles away which was somewhat misleading. We did travel the hour it takes to visit the Bar Harbor portion of Acadia/Cadillac Mountain. While it was worth the drive it was so crowded that we decided we preferred the quieter Schoodic park. One area that could be improved upon: the garbage and recycling bins were full when we arrived.We would have brought them to the curb if we'd been made aware of pick up day but there was no Welcome/Important info note that some properties provide for guests. That was a small drawback.All in all we would recommend the Blue Flower for a relaxing vacation spot.

MDI 10K
My son and I signed up to run the YMCA MDI 10K and we were looking for a place to stay in the vicinity. Well, we totally lucked out in our choice with this property. As other reviews state it is about an hour from Bar Harbor, but ideally located for visiting Schoodic. The restaurants in nearby Winter Harbor were fantastic. The Seafood Platter at Chase’s was the best I’ve had since Capt Newicks. Some of the reviews were negative but if peace and quiet and a clean comfortable atmosphere with a priceless view make you happy then you will be in heaven here. As noted, if anyone has mobility issues, the main staircase may be a challenge, but my Aunt who is 78 and uses a cane was able to climb them easily enough. Comfortable beds and the sitting room is delightful. My wife really loved the place. Internet was exceptional, two of our family members had to work remote during our stay and had no problems. Password and name are on the Spectrum Router, not the one in the welcome email. Only confusion in the whole stay. Will visit again!

Beautiful Cottage, Awesome Location
My daughter and I stayed here for 4 nights. Overall we absolutely loved our stay here. The cottage is beautiful in a peaceful quiet area. We thought the decor was pretty. We did not have any issues with water pressure like other reviews mention but it was just the 2 of us. Amazing spot to find sea glass, it was wonderful having a backyard right on the water and the views from every room were spectacular. I gave 4 stars, I would have given 5 but we did not find it to be clean, sheets, floors, stair railings and toilets were not clean. Unfortunately we didn’t take photos of these issues so the company that manages the house couldn’t refund any cleaning fees. Lesson learned, take pictures right away if you have an issue. With late checkouts available (which we took advantage of) they might have one person rushing to clean the house in 2 hours. We had an issue where we thought the oven wasn’t working but it turned out the display light is very dim, management were very quick to help us with that and were always responsive.

We loved the Cottage. Perfect location directly on the harbor. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Plenty of room to relax and spread out in. We did, however, have issues with the horrendous water pressure, barley able to shower, shave or wash your face. Really disappointed that a house in this price range didn't provide a better experience. Other than that, we did enjoy our stay.

Beautiful setting
The setting of the property was absolutely stunning- gorgeous sunrise views. Easy access to the rocky shore to collect sea glass and shells. The interior was as expected. As mentioned in other reviews, one of the staircases is extremely steep with narrow steps, so the elderly, young children, or pets use caution. Faucet and shower water pressure and temperatures were the only issue we had- very, very light pressure and barely warm. That was disappointing, but our stay was only for two nights, so we could manage.
