About this house rental

Start your day on the front porch with a cup of coffee as the lobster boats make their way out into the Gulf of Maine. Or you may choose the more active route with a hike up Pigeon Hill trail to be amongst the first in the US to welcome the new day. Whether your focus is to relax and disconnect, be active and engage, or maybe a little bit of both, this B.Still property has what you need to make that a reality.

The main house consists of two bedrooms with memory foam queen beds, quality linens, and oceans views. The home has two bathrooms, including one with a tub, to wash away the days activity or to take a moment for yourself to relax and reflect. The spacious living room comes equipped with a fireplace and record player making it a perfect spot to take in a cool Maine summer night. Also don’t forget the telescope where you can take in the night sky and maybe get a glimpse of the Milky Way . When dinner time arrives, the family can gather around the large dining room table, or perhaps choose the more casual route with counter seating. Should you want to grab some lobster fresh off the dock and give your own boil a shot, the kitchen has been recently upgraded with quartz counters and stainless appliances and includes everything you would need to cook your lobster feast.

Should you require a little additional space to spread out, the property also has a separate bunkhouse. The suite consists of a queen memory foam bed, high ceilings, all tastefully decorated to give off that Jackson Hole, WY vibe. Also on property is a spacious daybed where you can drink in the views of the bay and a camp grill with equally enviable views. If you want a closer look at that beautiful view, we have two kayaks on site with two adult and one children's life vest.

House is right on the water, well appointed with spectacular views. Quiet area (although the walls in the house are thin- if you happen to be traveling with friends who snore). Great location. Close to hiking trails and a place to buy live lobsters. Fabulous wood sculpture studio right down the road. Lots of places to get lobster rolls and clams nearby. Property Manager Ray was extremely helpful in providing us with excellent tips on where to go and what to see in the area.

We stayed at this location for 7 days but left early (Me, wife, kid, In-law). I understand it was Maine but inside the house even with windows open it was stifling hot (90+ degrees). The location didn't have any fans but the ceiling fan in what would be considered the master bedroom upstairs. We went to Walmart and purchased a couple fans to try and get some circulation. We left the fans onsite, but it seems like the owner could splurge for a couple window units for at least the bedrooms. The owner said that it didn't normally get that hot but when we went to Bar Harbor and I spoke to people there they said it had been that hot in the summer for last 5+ years. So, I don't know what the truth is but if you want AC when you stay somewhere this isn't your place. The place was clean, and everything worked well, and the scenery was beautiful. The pictures on the profile are a little misleading for the inside but the outside is accurate. Prepare to drive a lot if you plan to visit the tourist spots. Acadia was incredible and crowded so choose your time wisely when going to hike and sight see. I liked Maine but if I went back in the summer, I would stay somewhere with AC.

There is so much to recommend about this property and there was one major flaw (more about that later). Check in with Ray was very welcoming. He's a fount of information and very responsive. The house is beautifully located on a lovely quiet cove with views out to the open ocean. Surrounded by trees it is very private. The house has some nice updates including bidets in both bathrooms (I'm sure that is better for a septic system), although one was not working. It was perfect for the two of us and our dog. I think it would be tougher for more people, since there is very little seating in the living room and one BA is downstairs at the base of steep stairs. Great location for going back towards Bar Harbor/Acadia or further up the coast towards Machias. Restaurant selection is sparse, but what is there is good to very good. And do at least one dinner at the Treehouse Grill in Winter Harbor. It is excellent! (The charred Spanish octopus is a definite do not miss!) Now for the big BUT. The toilets both were cracked and both of the tanks were filled with black guck (possibly black mold?)! One toilet had gray water in the bowl that had a bad odor. It was gross! I would not recommend booking here until you have a firm confirmation from the owner that toilet the toilets have been replaced and that the tanks are clean and mold free!

We had so much fun and Ray was an amazing host. We enjoyed seaglass hunting outside at low tide, kayaking, watching bald eagles through the telescope, looking for shooting stars on the clear nights, hiking up Pigeon Hill Trail and picking wild blueberries, and visiting all the shops nearby. We created nothing but the best memories this week.

Unbeatable location and view. Superb communication with Ray, our contact for the week, who went above and beyond what we were expecting. Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge trails are a short drive away from the property, and we enjoyed restaurants in Milbridge nearby. Ellsworth also has much to offer. A true "DownEast" Maine vacation!

The property far exceeded our expectations, we had deer walking in the front yard and the ocean was our back yard. If you are looking for the hustle and bustle of the city, this is not where you want to be but if you are looking for a relaxed and rural setting where you can explored Maines rural beauty, this is the house for you! Scott, the owner, was extremely responsive in the booking process and Ray, the property manager went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great stay.Thank you!

The house, the area, the host - so amazing! The house has everything you need and there’s a lot of beautiful attention to details to the interior and the decoration. Ray was very helpful and super nice. The pictures don’t do the house justice - it’s so much nicer in real. All exceeded our expectations.
