About this house rental

Pigeon Hill Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Wake up each morning to a spectacular sunrise view of Bois Bubert Island at this sweet country home overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Here on the shores of Pigeon Hill Bay, enjoy a lovely back deck, two fireplaces, and wonderful access to a private beachfront, hiking trails, nature preserves, and the many coastal wonders of Downeast Maine.

This two-story home is located 45 miles up the coast from Ellsworth, the gateway to Acadia National Park. You'll be within a quarter-mile of the Steuben Public Boat Ramp and the Pigeon Hill Preserve Trailhead for quiet morning hikes with stunning views of Pigeon Hill Bay and Dyer Bay. A two-mile car or bike ride down Pigeon Hill Road will take you into Petit Manan Wildlife Refuge, a birder's paradise with a beautiful white sand beach and hiking trails though serene forest to cobble beaches. A well-stocked grocery store is also nearby, so you can load up on needed supplies or ingredients.

Maine is known for its lobsters and a boat tour of the area showcases why. If you're looking to get out and explore, head to Winter Harbor (21 miles west) to catch the Bar Harbor Ferry or take a scenic, 45-mile drive to Acadia for the day. Drive 50 miles to Lubec, home of Quoddy Head State Park, the easternmost point in the United States, and enjoy cliff trails overlooking Grand Manan Island, an ancient bog trail, and access to its iconic lighthouse.

Whether your plans involve kayaking, fishing, hiking, or sailing, the property's outdoor spaces provide a tranquil respite morning, afternoon, and evening. Sip your first cup of coffee watching lobster boats working or appreciate the gorgeous bay view from your own front porch. In fact, the porch serves as the perfect place to begin and end your day as you indulge in the picturesque sights. Light the gas grill for lunchtime barbecues and roast marshmallows around the firepit or on the private beach on starry summer nights.

The home's interior is warm and inviting, offering a light-filled living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a dining room with a beautiful view of the ocean, and an eat-in kitchen with a breakfast table. High-speed WiFi, a smart TV, and a private washer/dryer are on hand for your comfort as well.

Things to Know
The wood stove in the kitchen is not for guest use.
The private beach is within a few minutes' walk, accessed via a trail from the garden. It's a 140-foot section next to the town boat launch with a rock-and-gravel shoreline. Swimming is possible, as is sunbathing on the large black rocks.

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us. The pet fee is per stay and ranges between $150 and $200, depending on the bedroom count, and will apply for each additional dog.

This propeety was everything we expected and more. A large kitchen stocked with everything a cook would want. A farmer's porch to sit on and have your coffee while watching the lobster boats go in and out of the bay. The home is located on a sparsely populated peninsula perfect for de-stressing. Lots of hiking, waterfront exploring, wildlife and of course fresh seafood!

The overall house is old but nice and clean. Some of the house amenities were not there. The description mentions two fireplace, a path to the beach, and swimming. There are signs in the home not to use the fireplaces. The path to the water is so overgrown that you can not walk on it. Also, the beach is beautiful but not swimmable.

This home is so well maintained, spacious and SPOTLESS CLEAN. The views were spectacular. We loved the short walk to the beach down a cute little path. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked. Vicasa staff was incredibly responsive and friendly. Wonderful location. Would definitely stay again

My boy moses and I loved staying here! The property is beautiful, the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The views from the porch are incredible! The house was clean and comfortable, and had everything you would need, and then some! Many local trails to walk/hike and everyone waves and is very friendly. We will definitely be back for another visit! Thank you for sharing your home.

Lovely home with all accoutrements. Great view. Weather was terrific. Deer were plentiful on property and on Pigeon Hill Road-Careful! House was very clean on arrival. Minor issues-could not get combination lock to work; call to managers gave us combo to key box-all good. Was a little disappointed with road between house and beach; little or no traffic-so really no issue. Should have been mentioned in AD. Lite in refrigerator inoperative-Tory fixed it-very personable. Apparently Sept. 23-30 is shoulder season-Many restaurants were closed Sun-Thursday. Still, we very much enjoyed our stay- I lost or misplaced an Apple version 2 Pencil; if found please contact me to arrange return-Thanks!
