We absolutely loved our stay with Judy! The house is on the perfect little cove, the walk down to the water is easy, and you’re only 45 minutes from Bar Harbor! We spent a lot of time during low tide looking for sea glass & enjoying the fire pit. I actually got engaged during my stay and the house and property made for the most beautiful photos!

Cottage on Frenchman’s bay with wonderful views, great property with fire pit and deck. Cottage is weathered and some deck repairs needed but owner states these are planned. Plenty of sleeping room, good kitchen and overall cozy feel. Remote neighborhood so must drive to local restaurants and shops. Bar Harbor 30 minute drive.

Super beautiful location on the water! The main level is cute and comfortable with plenty of fans to help keep it cool when it’s hotter than normal. The basement level is helpful to have the extra space and extra bathroom but needs some work. A bit gloomy and smelly down there.

The cottage was adorable, clean and thoughtfully laid out. It was very roomy for our family of four, so we each had our own bedroom; There are 3 bedrooms but my son, who is small chose to use the extra tv room with the futon as his room. We appreciated the well appointed kitchen as we like to do most of our own cooking. Our favorite thing was the view from almost every room, the ocean was greeting us morning and night. It was a perfect peaceful retreat from our busy days exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor. We were close enough to everything we wanted to do, and away from the hustle and bustle, yet grocery stores and restaurants within easy reach too. The host was very attentive to our needs. We did reach out once as we couldn’t figure out how to turn the gas fireplace on, and she sent her handyman out the same day. We also noticed another home next door that could be rented out as well, and thought it would be a wonderful opportunity for a larger family to rent the both of them. If we were to come back to the area, I would definitely look for this cottage again.
