Paradise Found!

When we saw this waterfront land our hearts went "pitter-patter". It was more wonderful than our wildest dreams, the most beautiful spot we had ever seen. We come here as often as we can to escape the pressures of life, to decompress, relax, and collect ourselves. Here we appreciate the beautiful, the natural and the peaceful. This environment is among the most dramatic and captivating in the world.

The Acadia area is the most spectacular geography on the east coast, with magnificent scenes of nature at every turn that will take your breath away. Via the power of icebergs, Mother Nature has demonstrated her most impressive talent on this treasured area of the Maine Coast.

Watch the tide come and go, the rustling of the wind in the trees, the songs of the birds and the sea gulls. Explore the shoreline on foot or in your kayak. Bring binoculars and keep an eye on Cadillac Mountain and Frenchman's Bay from the private waterfront. Bask on the sands of Lamoine Beach or Marlboro Beach or Sand Beach.

This area has some of the best hiking in the world. Our favorites include; Gorham Mountain Trail, Beehive Mountain, Bubble Rock, Bass Harbor Light House, Flying Mountain, Schoodic Penninsula to name a few. Stroll Bar Harbor with an ice cream in the cool of the evening. Enjoy the galleries and artisans of this unique fishing village.

Take lunch in Southwest Harbor and watch the lobsterman sort the catch of the day. Take your camera to Northeast Harbor and capture the marine magic. Kayak around Bar Island in silky waters of glass and watch the hawks nesting a few feet away. Sit on the lawn of the Bar Harbor Inn, order a Lobster Bake and watch the fishermen and the Natalie Todd (three masted schooner) sail into the harbor.

After 17 years of vacationing in this area, we still have not explored all of the wonderful hikes and beautiful spots in the area. We invite you to settle in to our authentic log home with views to Frenchman’s Bay and the Atlantic Ocean and experience the magic that is the most magnificent area of the spectacular Maine Coast.

Full round, 8" diameter northern white cedar logs create an atmosphere of the best of the pioneer days. A window wall shows the spectacular view of Raccoon Cove out to Frenchman’s Bay. The great room is open to the dining area and kitchen. There is also a full bathroom adjacent to the kitchen.The master bedroom with walk in closet, king-size bed and master bathroom is off the great room and enjoys the same sensational views.

A 700 square foot loft has an equally impressive view and can be used as a dormitory area for children and can sleep four comfortably with 2 full-sized futons or for a playroom or private retreat for adults. The lower walk-out level has three bedrooms, two of which have sliding glass doors and a full view of the water. Each of these 3 bedrooms have 2 twin beds. A family room also has a slider with views of the water.

The 3100+ square foot house is just over 100 feet from the high water line, with a few birch and evergreen trees in the yard. There is a gentle slope down to the water in a natural landscape. You are welcome to bring your canoe or kayak to explore the shoreline, or they can be rented by the week just 15 minutes away. The private wooded and sunny lot is just under three acres with 310 feet of saltwater tidal water frontage on Raccoon Cove. This is a special home on the most picturesque property on the most beautiful coastline in the world.

Enjoy the proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park while retreating to the peaceful seclusion of this waterfront home. Welcome to Raccoon Cove!

  • We had a wonderful week in Lamoine. The house was absolutely beautiful and it slept all 14 of us VERY comfortably. (We were 3 families, with kids ages 2-9.) We loved being close to Acadia and Bar Harbor, but it was not smack in the middle of all the touristy stuff. I would highly recommend this vacation site.

  • My family and I had never been to Maine so when we arrived at this beautiful log cabin for our family reunion we knew we picked the perfect spot. The cabin is prefectly nestled in this beautiful cove and I was impressed to see how well it fit the natural surrounding yet had all the comforts of home, clean and spacious. It has large windows to view all the nature around you and they open if you wish to get a breeze. It is centrally located, which accomadated all our interests: sea kayaking, hiking, mountain climbing, sailing, moose hunting (camera), antiquing, GREAT food, horse back riding, bird watching, whale watching, harbor seals and so much more. We saw wildlife everyday! The house is privately located and quiet except for the sound of wind blowing through the trees and birds calling (eagles, woodpeckers, gulls, American Gold Finch) around the property. Blue berries are up the road for picking and a goat farm with fresh french cheese is right around the corner! Oh Man! Combine that with the Lobster and clam chowder... Shops are plentiful and nearby along the quaint rolling roads through the hills. The cabin was big enough to congregate as a group or sneek off and read a book. Watching the tides go in and out is AMAZING! All the people we met were friendly and helpful. Jeff's web page for planning our trip was an excellent tool. My family and I recommend this house highly for YOUR next vacation. Who knew Maine to be such a wonderful place!

  • Our family enjoyed our stay at this beautiful log home. Very private location with nice views of the cove. Good for kayaking, but watch the drastic tide change or else you will be draging your kayak back to the house for several hundred yards! Gas grill was a nice feature to cook family meals.

  • We enjoyed a wonderful week of fresh air, sunshine, and beautiful breezes. The young children loved Lamoine Beach. Our family loved Bar Harbor but it was nice to come home to the peace and quiet of Lamoine each day. The views over Racoon Cove are spectacular. The large pots in the well-equipped kitchen are perfect for steaming lobsters and clams. We hope to have another family vacation on Pasture Way.

  • Great place to stay in Acadia area. Close to everything; far enough away from the crowds.

  • We stayed at the house in Oct 2007, and had a great week. We were 10 people, and enjoyed the close proximity to Acadia. We found so much to do on Acadia that we spent most of our time there. The sunrises and the tide changes viewed through the front windows was a highlight. We cooked and ate many meals in the modern and well equipped kitchen, and all the services we needed were in nearby Ellsworth. A very enjoyable and successful extended family vacation!

  • Dear Jeff, Your log home fit the needs of our family perfectly. There was plenty of room to give each age group their own space yet get together for meals. We enjoyed the breeze through the windows while reading at night and the views while sitting in chairs above the cove. Your home was located within easy reach of all that Acadia had to offer. If you have a "to do" list, I would suggest additional "great room" furniture so all guests could gather. An optional to use radio and/or wifi connection would greatly help on getting weather and event updates.

    Jeff, We had a wonderful 2 weeks. Your home fit our family's needs. It was special to sit and read either in front of the open windows or out in the Adirondack chairs. Rain or shine, we had a wonderful time in your home. Thanks- Bill

  • Dear Chris & Jeff, Thank you for sharing your "piece of heaven' with us. We loved every minute of our stay. Your home is beautiful with plenty of room for everyone. We managed to pack each day with a different adventure, rain or shine. We enjoyed coming home in the evening to relax with a kayak ride around Raccoon Cove, or just sit out on the Adirondak chairs and enjoy the view. It was perfect! The fact that we were not ready to come home says it all. We are already planning when we can come again. Thank you! Earl, Beth, & boys
