About this property

Waterfront Post & Beam Home on 5 Peaceful Acres

Enjoy this beautiful 1990 constructed post and beam home nestled in the woods on a private five acre retreat. This home has cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, an open floor plan with lots of windows. The first floor bedroom has a queen-size bed and views through the woods to the water. There is a half-bath on the first floor. Walk upstairs to a private, spacious loft with two twin beds and a full bathroom. Watch the change of the water on this tidal cove (11 ft tidal change). Swim at high tide off granite ledges and enjoy low tide walks along the shoreline. Your stay includes all bed linens and bath towels.

It is important to arrive at your vacation rental without any huge surprises, so let me tell you a bit more about the place.

The house is 1200 square feet, located 1/2 mile down a dirt road. You cannot see another house from our house. There is a washer/dryer but not a dishwasher. There is a DVD/VHS player but no regular television stations. There is wifi internet connection at the house. There is a forced hot air Rinnai heater, as well as a woodstove. The water is only 120 feet away from the deck. At high tide there is 11 feet of water, and at low tide there are mudflats. The town of Ellsworth is 6 miles away and has 2 large grocery stores, shopping, movies, and restaurants.

Our rentals run Saturday to Saturday.

We have a limit of 4 people sleeping at the house, and we do not allow pets.

Acadia National Park is a treasure to explore. The Schoodic Peninsula area of Acadia is more remote, less traveled, yet equally as spectacular as the Mount Desert Island area. This rental house is a 30 minute drive from each of these Acadia National Park locations.

Great location
We loved our stay here. We spent most of our time in Acadia. The location to the park was convenient. The house was secluded, and the view of the water was nice. We had lunch out, and took advantage of the kitchen, and made dinner at the house. It was nice to have access to the washer and dryer. The house was even nicer than I anticipated. We enjoyed the wood burning stove. We also watched several of the DVD’s they had available. We also rented one from the red box at the grocery store. The house was very clean, and well stocked with anything you would need. I would recommend it to anyone coming to the area. We would love to return, and stay here again.

Loved it!
Wonderful location, very peaceful and quiet, the deer were a joy to watch. Cathy and Rick were wonderful, they prepared us ahead of time in the event the power went out due to the storm, overall great communication. The location is perfect, it’s right in between MDI (Acadia/Bar Harbor) and Scoodic, do not overlook Scoodic and Winter Harbor. Highly recommend and will be back. Thank you, Dave & Kat

Hurricane Lee couldn’t keep us away
We arrived at our home when hurricane Lee was threatening Maine. Our host was concerned and gave us the option of coming back another time. We opted to ride it out and in this case it turned out to be the best option. The house is a gem. We lost power for a little bit but our host had water and wood for the fireplace ready for us. We loved the location. We were able to get to Acadia and Schoodic relatively easy. We also went on lobster boat tour and a kayak tour, which was also incredible. There are many little coastal towns in the area. Do remember that they don’t have TV. So make sure you bring a book or just enjoy watching the deer run out in front of the house next to the water. This house is close to Ellsworth so we were able to go out to eat or buy groceries easily. Would definitely recommend this property to others.
