About this house rental

Saturday to Saturday weekly rentals (7 day) preferred for summer rentals!!

Perfect and charming three-bedroom with knotty pine interior and shingled cottage exterior. New appliances, Jotul propane stove, washer and dryer. On 5+ private and well-wooded acres with 293 +/- feet of gorgeous smooth, flat ledge water front on Grand Marsh Bay. This is what everyone dreams of finding when they think of the coast of Maine.

Two tandem kayaks and four mountain/hybrid bikes come with the rental property. Enjoy the natural beauty and wildlife of Corea Heath-Grand Marsh protected areas. Paddle to the salt marsh and explore its winding channel. Count great blue herons. Watch bald eagles and osprey flying overhead. Spot a seal at high-tide. Swim off the rocks by the house, at two nearby [rare] sand beaches, or warmer, freshwater at Jone's Pond picnic area. Bike the loop-road through nearby Acadia National Park's Schoodic portion. Explore Downeast Maine's historic towns and villages.

Enjoy summer-fall concerts, art exhibits, and performances.

Visit Acadia National Park - Schoodic Peninsula: The only section of Acadia located on the mainland, the park comprises a loop that begins in Winter Harbor following the coast ending at Birch Harbor. Just inside Acadia's boundaries is a picnic area with tables and grills. Picnic surrounded by wild roses, explore the rocks along the shore, watch sailboats tack across the waters while you eat.
- Bike to Schoodic Point. Biking in Maine is great, but this small stretch of road is extraordinary. The Schoodic Section of Acadia has a one-way loop road that hugs the coast through the Park.
- Hike to the top of Schoodic Head. Numerous trails lead to extraordinary views from Schoodic's 400 ft summit. In addition, to a 360-degree survey of Downeast Maine this small peak overlooking the Atlantic exposes visitors to a sub-alpine ecological zone. Dwarf vegetation and low-bush blueberry hug the thin, rocky soil. Cross the tidal land-bridge to Little Moose Island.

Daytrip in Rustic Downeast Maine. : Drive along the forty-mile Acadia Scenic Byway. Explore winter Harbor and the grand Victorian 'cottages' of Grindstone Neck. Or, cruise the last stretch of coastal Route 1 in the United States. Pass through the quiet coastal towns of Stueben, Jonesport, and Machias. Enjoy endless views and rolling blueberry barrens. Some say, Helen's in Machias makes the best blueberry pies in the USA. Take an inland route home passing through historic Cherryfield and other small towns. Visit nearby Bartlett Maine Estate Winery for a tasting.
- There are at least five bikes included with the property at any given time, often more. They are high quality mountain and hybrid bikes including Gary Fisher, Cannondale, Marin, Schwinn, and others. The bikes are suitable for teens through adults. Helmets are available for use. We also have a bike trailer for two toddlers - please bring toddler helmets. Be sure to bring your own bike rack - the bikes can be taken to Acadia park and other great riding locations.

Drive or Take the Ferry to Mt. Desert Island.: A passenger ferry connects Winter Harbor and Bar Harbor on Mt. Desert Island. The Island Explorer bus service shuttles passengers free-of-charge to numerous destinations throughout Acadia National Park and across the Island. This service also operate between Winter Harbor-Birch Harbor-Prospect Harbor on the Schoodic Peninsula. The town of Bar Harbor has great energy. It offers a large number of independent shops and restaurants. The dining holds its own with any major city. It is a commercial, yet charming town with an active daytime crowd and equally active nightlife. Curiosities like the Whale Museum make Bar Harbor an excellent place to visit.
- Drive to the top of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia Nation Park and see the entire region.
- Two ocean kayak sit-on-top boats, one tandem kayak, and two solo kayaks may be used in the Bay or taken to another beautiful paddling spot. Life jackets for adults and children are available and mandatory when using the kayaks. Light weight paddles are included. Roof rack NOT provided.

This is our second stay at Flora's Dream. It is a lovely retreat and truly a beautiful spot to unwind and reconnect. Plenty to do should you decide to venture out. The hosts provide specific helpful information and recommendations. The home itself is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. We look forward to visiting again!!

This location is perfect for those that want to disconnect from all the worlds problems. Just the right amount of solitude with no WIFI. Not to far off the beaten path but far enough.

We enjoyed our quiet place on the less touristy side of Acadia National Park. The property description was accurate. Joan and Izak were easy to communicate with. The cottage is well equipped with kitchen appliances (even including a waffle maker), games, videos, kayaks, TV/stereo etc. One and 2 seat kayaks are available. Grand Marsh Bay is beautiful at high and low tide. Schoodic Point Acadia (15 min drive away) is a cool place to spend time. Acadia on the Bar Harbor side is about an hour drive away. If needed, a ferry gets you there too. If we were to return (we're 900 miles away) we would definitely stay there again!

We had a wonderful 2-week stay. Really missed the lack of internet connection but ultimately enjoyed being unplugged.

Our family of 6 just returned from an amazing week! What was there not to love? Firstly, the cottage is a true family cottage. It is stocked with books, travel guides, games, DVDs, comfortable furniture, fully stocked kitchen, soft linens and towels, Maine-themed decorations, and of course the kayaks and bikes. You immediately feel at home. Secondly, the cottage is very, very clean (even the many fans are spotless). Thirdly, it is in a very quiet and peaceful location--when we sat by the water it was as if we were far away from all people. Fourthly, the owners are very responsive hosts if you have a question or concern. Plus they give great recommendations of where to go and where to eat. All the places we could fit in from their suggestions were top notch. When you stay at this cottage, be sure to visit USBells (a mile or so away) and learn about bell making. Also, visit ChapterTwo art & gifts for local art. We loved the whoopee pies from Provisions (grocery store in Winter Harbor). Dinner at The Treehouse (Winter Harbor) was excellent. Lunches at The Pickled Wrinkle, Lunch on the Wharf (Corea), and The Knotty Lobster (Milbridge) were all delicious). We did very Acadia on Schoonic Peninsula and liked it better than Mt. Desert Island as there were many less people but same beauty. Bar Harbor was fun too. Great place to stay! Loved our time in Maine.

Had a wonderful stay. Everything was super clean upon arrival and the cabin is really nicely appointed – we were super comfortable and were not lacking for anything. Fantastic place to come ‘home’ to relax in after exploring Schoodic and points beyond. All of the host's feedback and tips were great and put to good use – thank you for being a great host. A bit far from Bar Harbor and what not but then again....that's the point! Explore Schoodic - it will not disappoint.
