About this house rental

This lovely home we call Stonehaven is serene, secluded, scenic, sunny, spacious and situated on a one acre wooded lot - only steps away from the shoreline. As you walk in, you will be greeted by the spectacular ocean view. On the first floor there is a master bedroom with a king size bed and a petite / private room with a twin bed.

Walk into the living area and there is a cathedral ceiling with windows from top to bottom and a futon that comfortably sleeps one. Go upstairs to the spacious loft with two twin beds, one with a pull-out twin bed. There’s plenty of room to sit and watch a movie. During high tide, look out to the ocean and you will feel as if you are on a cruise liner…. without the sway of course.

Discover the beauty of Maine in this quiet community!

Absolute perfection, amazing views, close to Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Cranberry Isles, and everything Acadia. There are far too many good things to say. If you have the chance visit the area and stay at this amazing house.

Although it offered more space than needed, I was attracted to the photos in Stonehaven's listing by its proximity to the sea and, my favorite, tide pools! Stonehaven delivered on that and provided so much more! On entering I was immediately struck by the beautiful view, cleanliness of the property and overall warmth and welcoming vibe. The location feels wonderfully remote but there are neighbors adjacent to the property which is bordered and sheltered by Maine's tall evergreens. Stonehaven can offer blissful solitude but is also well suited for groups and families and fully equipped for any Down East vacation activity. Tom is the consummate, thoughtful host! Even before arrival he sends a detailed guide to the property as well as suggestions for activities, sights, restaurants and shopping (don't miss the Winter Harbor 5 & 10, like walking back into the '50s!) I took many of his suggestions and thoroughly enjoyed them. I highly recommend Stonehaven for any stay on the beautiful Maine coast. I'm looking forward to returning, next time with my daughter (who lives on the "other" coast in Santa Monica) to explore tide pools together!

We had such a great time at Stonehaven! It was so perfect for our family of 4. Our girls (9 &16) loved having the loft to themselves! We have rented many homes and this one really stands out for us. It checked all the boxes: clean, well-equipped, beautiful view, incredibly helpful welcome guide. But it also just felt like it was a home that has been cared for and holds a lot of good memories. Nothing too fancy, just everything you need. We spent mornings and evenings on the deck, exploring the rocks, using the fire pit or puzzling inside late at night. It was such a wonderful way to connect with our kids and made us all so happy. On our last night we even saw dolphins! We also really loved the location of the house and that it was removed from the craziness of Bar Harbor, but also totally accessible if you wanted to do a day trip there. Schoodic, which is only 10 minutes away, was SO stunning. We did the Little Moose Island hike - highly recommend. And I would also drive out and park to go for a run around the point. Our favorite place to relax and easily get in the ocean was Grindstone Point. We ate lunch at JM Gerrish, shopped at the 5 & 10 and absolutely would recommend you get to the Bakery!! We also visited the very charming Darthia Farm multiple times for produce, jam and chicken. Thank you so much to Tom for a wonderful stay. We all loved the house (even my teenager!) and created many of our own memories on this trip.

My family and I were so happy with our stay at Stonehaven. We couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful and relaxing stay! The property was exactly as pictured and waking up to the waves crashing on the rocks was magical! Thomas and his family have really worked so hard to ensure guests are well-informed with clear instructions, visuals, and a comprehensive welcome booklet with useful information about the house as well as honest overview of the businesses nearby. Also, Bill next door was a wonderful proxy for Thomas, welcoming us and ensuring any questions were answered. The best part was how everyone waved at us when we traveled on the road to and from the house! The Schoodic Peninsula was so beautiful! I can’t say enough about coastal Maine’s wild beauty! Forests as far as the eye can see, rolling hills, and views of the ocean all around. The only thing that was a little challenging for us suburban types was that businesses close much earlier than we’re used to and it takes about 30min to get to the nearest town, Winter Harbor. Also, please ensure you follow the speed limits and don’t drive distracted. We almost witnessed a man get run over near the ice cream shop by a distracted driver making a fast turn!! We made the trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park twice during our stay -beautiful! It took us about 1.5hrs to get there from the house. We loved being able to visit and then “come home” to peace and quiet! All in all - we loved Stonehaven and Maine!! ❤

We thought we’d be able to swim in the ocean from the rental, you cannot. I assumed the rental had AC but it was 82 inside when we arrived. It wasn’t bad after the first night. We left the windows and doors open to cool the place off. I loved scavenging the rocks for ocean finds during low tide, found two pieces of sea glass and many cool finds! The house has pretty much everything you’ll need and the beds are nice.

This little retro A-frame cabin is better than I expected. The view and proximity to the water can't be beat. I love the remoteness, although it is only 10 min drive to Winter, Birch or Prospect Harbor. This house is perfect for a family with kids as there is only one queen bed and the rest are singles. The kitchen has everything needed to cook and the deck is HUGE. But my son's favorite was the fire-pit on the beach which we used each night making smores. Thomas was very easy to work with as a host. This is the first time we stayed on the Schoodic Peninsula and we like it better than Mt. Desert Island. It's less crowded and more serene. The part of Acadia on the Peninsula is perfect for bike riding and hiking. There is a bike rental shop across from the entrance to the park. The Treehouse Seafood and grill in Winter Harbor was surprisingly gourmet. Next summer we will be coming back here instead of Mt. Desert Island. I highly recommend this property.
