Friends Corner was built as a family cottage in the 1930s. It is named for granite watering troth, the beautiful English garden and large terraced yard.
Gather with family and friends on the porch to enjoy views of Blue Hill Bay or walk down the wooded lane to the old granite quarry dock with views across the bay to Acadia National Park. Linger over a lobster dinner and perhaps build a fire to ward off the chill.
All bedrooms are upstairs, three of the bedrooms have queen beds, with double beds in two bedrooms. Three baths upstairs, two are hall baths , the master bedroom has a private bath. One full bath with shower stall downstairs. All the iron beds have handmade quilts and down comforters for a cozy, warm night.
The kitchen has been renovated with all modern conviences, microwave, blender, mixmaster, extensive spice selection, cookware and utensils. The dinning room seats 12 for a lively meal with views of the bay. The porch has seating for 6.
The living room is furnished with comfortable seating and a working fireplace. Firewood is provided. Set off the kitchen is a cozy den with TV.
The cottage garden, lining the walk from the garage and parking area, provides fresh flowers for the guest. A large yard is perfect for young children to run and play, or for a game of softball, crouquet or boules.

My family and I rented this enchanting home for the month of August last summer. What a delightful place. We loved how well appointed it was, every detail taken care of. I especially loved making blueberry pancakes in the morning, a quart of fresh wild blueberries from a roadside farm stand and everything in need in a kitchen to whip up some magic. Sipping coffee in the morning on the rocker, gazing out over the bay. Cutting fresh bouquets from the fabulous garden. So many games and puzzles to chose from. Comfortable and cozy beds made for a great night's sleep. Huge dining room table perfect for family feasts. Lobster dinners outside on the porch, sunset views. Walks to the quarry with our dog were a fantastic blend of workout and discovery. We will cherish our summer memories at Freddie's lovely home forever. If we weren't buying our own summer home this year we would certainly be back. Thanks for everything! Especially loved the big fresh cut branches of balsam which made the house smell divine.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, pet owners, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

My husband and I have enjoyed two wonderful Augusts in this warm, comfortable house. The location is ideal for taking long, private walks with water views or for running into town for quick errands. The kitchen is fully equipped for entertaining, and the house is large enough to accomodate several guests. Help with any questions about the house is closeby, and we found everything was as described in the listing. We would certainly recommend this Blue Hill house to anyone who wants to experience the joys and cooler temperatures of a Maine summer.

About the owner: Our family has been summering in Blue Hill for over 25 years. When this house, across the street from our family's summer home became available...we jumped. Our children have spent every summer in Blue Hill, teaching sailing at the local yacht club, hiking in Acadia, gathering mussels and even getting married here. It is our special place and hope you will love as we do.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Nothing is better than rocking on the porch when the sun begins to fade. On cool nights we gather in front of the fire with board games. Take an early morning walk on the quarry road with magnificant views of Mount Desert and Blue Hill Bay. Sit on the kitchen porch sipping coffee while the bees and hummingbirds visit the cottage garden. Cook your own lobster and enjoy them with the warm butter , fresh local bread and produce.
