About this house rental

Our home offers you a spacious, open, sun-lit, private retreat, with sweeping views Down East to the Bay of Fundy and inland to Bunker s Harbor, situated on 15+ acres of woods with an accessible 660 foot pink granite shoreline.

Watch from the Gazebo as lobster boats ply the waters or view the crashing surf outside from the two story cathedral living room windows. Take a short walk or bike ride to Acadia National Park's Schoodic Peninsula trails or a short drive to iconic Schoodic Point.

The House

We hope you will feel welcome and relaxed in our custom built Rockport Post & Beam home.

The main level also offers a cozy game and puzzle room, an office/study, a grand piano, a bedroom/nursery, two bathrooms, a mud room and a connected two-car garage.

Upstairs, you will find a spacious master bedroom with spectacular water views and all the amenities you would expect including a soaking tub and gas fireplace, plus two additional comfortable bedrooms and a large lofted TV sitting room.

Stunning views and beautiful landscaping! The wild blueberries and blackberries were a delight for the kids. It was fun for all ages (infant to grandparents). We rented bikes and rode on the carriage paths in Acadia. Plenty of room for everyone. The rocky beach is a bit tricky to explore for grandparents but the kids loved it. After staying in busy Bar Harbour for a few days, it was very pleasant to enjoy the quieter side of Acadia.

We stayed for a work offsite and we all enjoyed the privacy and views that come with this property. While there are no grocery stores close by, we brought enough food for two meals a day and we went out to local restaurants for one meal per day. The home is large and well stocked with everything you need to make your own meals. You are within one mile of Acadia National Park and your walk there is along a beautiful Maine coastline. Communications with the homeowner were easy and they made certain that we were happy with our stay.

We had a great stay! We spent most of our time in Bar Harbor which was about an hour away, but when we were in the house, we had a great time! Everything we needed was in the house and the views were insane! We loved being able to all stay at one house! We ate at the treehouse nearby the house and it was delicious too! Can’t recommend this house enough! The owners were very responsive too!

A very beautiful, large and comfortable home right on a spectacular strip of the Maine coastline. We enjoyed the beauty and comfort of this place. We brought the family together and we all had a great time. Large kitchen was super for cooking and enjoying. A beach campfire in the evening was a fantastic way to spend time with loved-ones.

The VIEW!!!!
The VIEW!!!!
We loved this house!! Just how we wanted to end our 10 days in Maine! The house is gorgeous, the view and the location are spectacular! It was definitely on the higher priced side. As an owner of high end rental properties we always make sure to have the best cooking supplies. We needed some more pans, the ones supplied weren’t awesome. We couldn’t figure out how to use the grill. Other than just a few minor things the house was great, but for what we paid, for me to give it a full 5 star it would’ve had to been perfect. If you are looking to get away this house is exactly what you want! The kids loved being on the rocks. The Pickled Wrinkle has great food and Schoodic Pt is gorgeous! You are about an hour from Bar Harbor but we didn’t want to me in the busy part so the location for us was magical! Bring bug spray! The mosquitoes got us! 😬
