The entire family had a wonderful reunion, thanks in no small part to your excellent cottages. We especially appreciated the generous gathering spaces that Starboard provided. Plenty of couches for evening gatherings were also great. The bedrooms were super comfortable and offered wonderful views of the mountains and the sound. With the loons at night and the deer during the day everyone felt very much a part of the natural world. you have struck an excellent balance of civilized comfort and fantastic location. Your arragement on the weatehr was spectacular as well :) and certainly left everyone thrilled with the location. The family from the West Coast (Inverness CA and Olympia WA) all agree that there was no where they knew of that had such an amazing combination of outdoor oportunities only minutes apart. We did it all: kayaking, biking, climbing and hiking amid the wonderful scenerty of Acadia and Mount Desert. At the end of each day, we came home to the cottages to cook and eat together. j Thanks for the extra dining room chairs you brought in for us; having room to share breakfast and dinner together gave us a place to talk about all our adventures and plan new ones! We certainly appreciate all the hlep you gave us before and during our visit and would happily recommend your places to our friends. Ralph and I hope to be back to rent Spinnaker and have more time to appreciate the wonderful location you offer. We are not firm converts to the "quiteside" of Mount Desert.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Debbie & Mike, After many years of coming to Hall Quarry we just never get tired of the beauty of Somes Sound and the Acadia Mountains. We again enjoyed our time in Starboard, and as with every Musetti rental home we have stayed in, everything was very clean, warmly decorated and just the place from which to operate from. Our friends who joined up from Delaware were just so impressed by the house, the view and Mt. Desert Is.. We will be back. Thank you for providing a beautiful and tasteful home away from home.

Four of us had a marvelous relaxing time in Starboard. Thank you for all the care and thoughtfulness you have put into furnishing the house. And for the prompt service to get the DVD player running again! Your company has been thoroughly professional and helpful. We'll never forget our beautiful vacation here!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful house with us! We love coming to Acadia for family vacation and have previously stayed in Somesville and North East. We loved the mountain and waterviews from Starboard and did many wonderful hikes - Dorr Mountain, Beech ladder, Beehive, Gorham and South Bubble. Also had a wonderful lunch outside at the Jordan Pond Houe! Hope to come back again soon for another wonderful family vacation! ThanksDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

We came to Maine to celebrate four 50th birthdays. It was a great way to celebrate our family's friendships. There were 10 of us and we were not crowded at all and the house had every amenity we're used to! Some of us had never been to Maine and the scenery was breathtaking capped off by watching the sun come up at 4:52am on Cadillac Mountain the last morning. We had fantastic weather for so early in the season but did get to experience the mystic Maine fog a few mornings. Thank you for prividing such wonderful accomodations.

Mike & Debbie, We have had 2 beautiful weeks up here in Hall Quarry. One week in "Jibe Ho" and one week in Starboard with two of our friends. Both houses are in great locations with great views. We love being on Somes Sound. You both do a great job decorating and maintaining your vacation houses. We always feel so welcome and comfortable. Got plenty of hiking and a little sea kayaking in. It has been relaxing and refreshing. The leaves have been spectacular. We look forward to returning in 2010 and other years. Starboard is beautiful THANKS!

Our first trip to Maine

Just got home last night from our first trip to Maine. Our stay at the Starboard was wonderful. First, the pictures on the site don't do the house justice. The house is huge with a ton of room for our party of 7 (with 3 small children). The basement with two bedrooms, full bath and a family room is an absolutely perfect area for kids to hang out and be kids. The kitchen has everything you would need. We made several meals and everything we needed was at hand. The deck not only has an incredible view but is great for dining. We loved that the home is just a short drive to most main attractions on the island but is in a nice quiet area to get away from the crowds. This house couldn't have been more perfect for our trip. Would highly recommend a stay here. And the kids loved having the pool practically in our backyard.Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with teenagers.
