Our stay at Tern II was wonderful; it was perfect for 3 (or 4) adult couples with their own bedroom and bathroom, a well-equipped kitchen, and incredible views from the living room and the deck. It is exactly as described.

Owner response:Thank you! We hope you will return soon to Tern II.

Tern II was everything it promised - a comfortable home, beautiful views and lovely property. Loved watching the seals everyday!! And trying to capture the beautiful sunsets every evening on the camera - the views are just gorgeous! The library is everything a bibliophile could want and we even played chopsticks on the piano - LOL :) AND I even found a couple of pieces of beach glass on the beach - it was heaven! :) Also so quiet and restful....just what we needed to escape from a hectic world..... thank you so much! We hope to be back again next year if you have space :) Best wishes always, The Aguirre's, The Woodlands, Texas

I already wrote in your guestbook in your home; but ,I'm happy to write here ,too. It was my family's first trip to Maine.It was much more than we expected, and your warm, welcoming house had much to do with it. Our family made lots of great memories. The deck, grill set-up, view, sunsets, wildlife, seals, , well-stocked kitchen--all added to our sense of relaxation. The serenity was a welcomed relief from the hustle and bustle of New Jersey. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We are already looking forward to returning next August. Rosemary

We had a small family vacation at this cabin and had a wonderful time. We fell in love with the cabin and the scenery. I highly recommend this cabin.

Tern II, the cabin on west side of Mount Desert Island was as described in the pictures and text. We would recommend this peaceful property and we hope to return.

A wonderful week full of kids and hikes and marking time by the tides. We all loved being here at this beautiful spot where we spent most every afternoon after going to Sand Beach or Echo Lake or doing a family friendly hike up Beech Mtn. or around Jordan Pond. In addition to exploring the water’s edge and birding from the deck, some of us made it out in the canoe each day to quietly play alongside the seals (actually they were the ones playing with us). We hope to be back again next year and each year after that! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We have been coming to MDI for more than 35 years and honestly, we had the best experience of our lives at Tern II. The accommodations were so lovely and comfortable. We wanted for nothing. The views from the deck were wonderful, particularly watching the seals bask in the sun and play in the water every afternoon was spectacular! The cove is perfect for kayaking and we saw Ospreys, seals and hundreds of colorful starfish in the glassy, shallow waters. We had perfect weather during our stay, but if we hadn't, the great DVD, games and book collections available in the cottage would have kept us well entertained. Thank you for a very memorable and special family vacation. We'll be back!

Ah, weather…never to be counted on, particularly in New England! We couldn’t imagine a better place to spend a week in the rain, though – watching the tides & how the weather moves over the landscape, and even some mother & baby seals between the raindrops! Your movie and book selections were lifesavers, as well as the studio – the perfect place with a wonderful history – thank you for sharing it!

We had a wonderful vacation at Tern II cabin. The trips to historical Bar Harbor, the resturants that you recommended and the scenic drive thru the Arcadia Park. The lobsters from the pound at the bridge were delicious and the mussels that are available for the picking on the beach in front of the cabin and steamed with our home made sauce is something to be remembered. What a treat. We replenished the bird feeder on the deck and soon had a flock of intersting birds. A couple of squirrels entertained us as they tried in vain to get into the feeder. A bald eagle came to rest in the pine tree in front on the house, and soon left to continue his flight. Everyday we watched the seals as they climbed the rocks to sun themselves. On the rainy days we passed the time watching movies from your CD collection and also played bridge and Belote, the French card game. This was a vaction we will never forget.

Denise, We just returned from spending a glorious week at your cabin. The cabin was great with its spacious accommodations and incredible views, let alone well-stocked with everything we could possibly need. We particularly enjoyed your selection of books! And the access to natural areas was wonderful--we went kayaking and saw a bald eagle up close, a family of ospreys, seals and a porpoise. It was also convenient to be so close to Acadia. Thanks for sharing your cabin and making it possible for our large family to vacation together! Margie Patlak
