This was our second time staying at the chalet, and there's a reason we returned. Cozy and quiet, it overlooks the Penobscot, nestled among trees. Cape Rosier and this property are magical, embodying all things Maine—wild blueberries, pine forests, and fresh lobsters nearby. A short walk takes you to Bakeman Beach, but we mostly enjoyed our own private cove just steps from the door. Morning coffee there was a dream. Great hiking spots are nearby, and there’s plenty to explore around the area. Buzz and Rosemary are wonderful hosts, and the chalet is both private and beautiful. The entire property is just lovely. It was just the relaxing and rejuvenating trip we needed. We love this magical spot and hope to return for many years to come.

Highly recommend !

We stayed for a week at this gorgeous property. Rosemary and Buz went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. Their hospitality is one of a kind and are also some of the kindest people we have met. The beach house is kept in pristine condition and has everything you may need. The views were breathtaking. The cove is quiet and peaceful. Local lobster down the road and Acadia National Park is about a hours drive. The perfect Maine getaway!

Great vacation, owners were wonderful people. We were lucky to see the full moon. Beautiful location.

Highly recommend .

We had such a great respite from the daily grind! The cottage was perfect. The setting is amazing...we were able to see seals catching fish, seabirds and the beautiful coast line and islands from the windows and just a few steps outside the front door. We took daily walks down the road to a sandy beach for swimming and beachcombing. It is a nice spot from which to take day trips to Acadia, and local villages. The entire property is lovely and well cared for. The cottage was clean and very comfortable. Probably one of the most comfortable and tidiest cottages we've ever rented. Rosemary and Buzz provide multiple resources for activities, restaurants in the area. They were happy to help us with anything we needed.

My family of 4 and our dog had a wonderful stay at the Chalet. Buz and Rosemary were wonderful hosts, setting up a crib for us in advance and bringing in a high chair for the baby. The view is spectacular, the house super clean and well-appointed and the location is perfect for enjoying and exploring the area. We hope to come back again. Many wonderful memories made here. Thank you Buz and Rosemary!

An absolutely beautiful place! If you’re looking for peace, quiet and restoration, then this area is for you. The chalet was as advertised; magical and immaculate. As part of a family compound, it’s location still lends itself to privacy and autonomy. Be forewarned, staying here in the chalet will spoil you and sets very high standards for any stays you have elsewhere. To say it was “immaculate” is no exaggeration. Beautifully decorated and comfortable as well. We only used one bedroom during this stay and were grateful for a firm mattress. They have thought of everything in their amenities; fully equipped kitchen, binoculars, outdoor seat cushions, market umbrellas, Adirondack chairs, lawn chairs, a picnic table and grill and even a luggage rack (so grateful!) Their welcome/info binder was literally the most up-to-date, detailed one that I’ve seen and filled with recommendations and a sprinkling of delightful humor. The kitchen is cozy yet efficient and we cooked most every night using the gas stovetop and outdoor grill. A private beach is directly in front of the chalet. By coastal Maine standards, it is wonderfully accessible in terms launching kayaks (which we didn’t bring this trip, but you can rent.) A midweek storm left us without power for only a couple hours and we didn’t even realize it (until Lewis popped over to check on us) because of their backup battery and generator systems. They even shared their garden onions and lettuce with us! Highly recommend!
