About this house rental

Enjoy this beautiful 1990 constructed post and beam home nestled in the woods on a private five acre retreat. This home has cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, an open floor plan with lots of windows. The first floor bedroom has a queen-size bed and views through the woods to the water. There is a half-bath on the first floor. Walk upstairs to a private, spacious loft with two twin beds and a full bathroom. Watch the change of the water on this tidal cove (11 ft tidal change). Swim at high tide off granite ledges and enjoy low tide walks along the shoreline. Your stay includes all bed linens and bath towels.

It is important to arrive at your vacation rental without any huge surprises, so let me tell you a bit more about the place.

The house is 1200 square feet, located 1/2 mile down a dirt road. You cannot see another house from our house. There is a washer/dryer but not a dishwasher. There is a DVD/VHS player but no regular television stations. There is wifi internet connection at the house. There is a forced hot air Rinnai heater, as well as a woodstove. The water is only 120 feet away from the deck. At high tide there is 11 feet of water, and at low tide there are mudflats. The town of Ellsworth is 6 miles away and has 2 large grocery stores, shopping, movies, and restaurants.

Our rentals run Saturday to Saturday.

We have a limit of 4 people sleeping at the house, and we do not allow pets.

Acadia National Park is a treasure to explore. The Schoodic Peninsula area of Acadia is more remote, less traveled, yet equally as spectacular as the Mount Desert Island area. This rental house is a 30 minute drive from each of these Acadia National Park locations.

This place is exactly what I pictured for my family to enjoy our trip to Maine! It is close enough to be convenient for grocery needs, gas, door dashers and attractions like Bar Harbor and Acadia, but the secluded spot lets you feel like you are miles away from your stresses. The house was very clean and well stocked. Any little odds or ends we may have forgotten were there. There were also decks of cards, board games and puzzles to do with the kids. My kids loved that they got to sleep in the loft and having a bathroom up there was convenient! My favorite thing to do at the house sit on the back deck or lay in the hammock and watch the tides while listening to the birds chirping and the wind whispering through the pines. Stress just melted away! Our hostess was very knowledgeable and easy to get ahold of. She provided great information on the area, suggestions on what we could go see, where we could rent kayaks, and answered any questions I had. We loved our stay and highly recommend this home for anyone planning to visit Maine!

We had the most incredible stay at the house! Arriving was simple and after a long drive, the view of the water and the picture perfect cabin was most welcome! As others have mentioned the pictures do not do this place justice! The views are great - watching the tides come and in and out was a neat experience. We saw turkeys, deer, cute chipmunks, a heron, and an osprey flying overhead. We rented kayaks and the trek to the water and back was doable. When the tide is in, the water is incredibly calm. The kitchen is well equipped- we made breakfasts and dinner most days/evenings. We spent a lot of time playing games in the evenings. My son was excited that the WiFi worked. We spent most days hiking and had an incredible run of good weather - only one rainy day! Easy access to both parts of Acadia! We would not hesitate to come back!!!

My husband and I love remote, rustic homes! This was perfect. Surrounded by beautiful forest and waterfront! The house was spotless and had everything we needed in the kitchen. It is a very comfortable home! ❤️❤️❤️

We loved our stay here. We spent most of our time in Acadia. The location to the park was convenient. The house was secluded, and the view of the water was nice. We had lunch out, and took advantage of the kitchen, and made dinner at the house. It was nice to have access to the washer and dryer. The house was even nicer than I anticipated. We enjoyed the wood burning stove. We also watched several of the DVD’s they had available. We also rented one from the red box at the grocery store. The house was very clean, and well stocked with anything you would need. I would recommend it to anyone coming to the area. We would love to return, and stay here again.

Wonderful location, very peaceful and quiet, the deer were a joy to watch. Cathy and Rick were wonderful, they prepared us ahead of time in the event the power went out due to the storm, overall great communication. The location is perfect, it’s right in between MDI (Acadia/Bar Harbor) and Scoodic, do not overlook Scoodic and Winter Harbor. Highly recommend and will be back. Thank you, Dave & Kat
