Adult family getaway

Property owner was very attentive. Instructions provided were comprehensive and the house was well appointed. Loved the popover pan and espresso machine. Enjoyed harvesting fresh mussels. Beautiful view from deck of Frenchman Bay. Great access to Acadia and hiking. Great access to Bar Harbor. We were 4 couples age range 25 yrs to 60 yrs. Plenty of room for everyone.

Great house

What a beautiful house! Peter was a great host. Since the weather was terrible, it was great to have a comfortable place to connect as a family. Our dogs enjoyed the porch and the deck as much as we did!

Fabulous Maine Home on Water

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Overlook. The house is large and located back in the woods on a beautiful part of Frenchman's Bay. There is a large deck with a gorgeous view of the water; a great place to relax with a cup of tea, book or even cell phone. The house is very clean and spacious with a nice loft on the second floor and another balcony off the MBR. The 2 BRs on the 2nd FL share a bath with a swinging saloon door going into the bathroom. The common areas are very nice with a comfy LR and large table for dining. The screened in porch is also a nice place to eat if it's not raining. Our grandkids enjoyed the deck, yards and we did S'mores by the fire pit. There are 2 other smaller homes on the property but you have privacy if you want or you can hang with your neighbors by the firepit. The location is ideal. An entrance to Acadia is nearby and the ride into Bar Harbor is only about 10-15 minutes, depending on traffic. There are a few restaurants in the immediate area and many more in Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor. Peter, the owner, was very communicative before we got there and promptly answered all the questions we had about the property and area. He has tons of info about Acadia trails and restaurants in the Bar Harbor area. There are steps on the adjoining property which go down to the water; the steps are a little steep and there are rocks at the bottom so it's not a beach per se. We would suggest new chairs for the deck; some are very worn.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Miano

I first came to Maine and Mt. Desert Island as an 18 year old bound for a year long volunteer assignment at Our School in Robbinston, about 100 miles east of MDI. That is when I fell in love with the land and seascapes of Maine, its natural beauty, its powerful seasons (if you haven't discovered Maine in Winter, maybe now is the time), and its rich heritage. Over the years, I returned often to Acadia and Downeast for family vacations.

This year, after a long, tedious search for a place to buy and enjoy and after several frustrations, I found Shore Haven, although it wasn't called that at the time. It was love a first sight. Its unsurpassed natural setting and extraordinary access to all the amenities of MDI, not to mention all of Downeast and the interior as well, was strong attraction for me. In addition, Shore Haven's house (Overlook) and two chalets (Spruce and Birch) offered the opportunity of welcoming others to enjoy MCI the same way that I do with my family and friends. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. I hope the Maine coast enchants you the way is does me. Relax, have fun, soak up the atmosphere. Welcome to Shore Haven.

Why they chose this property

Shore Haven offers privacy and comfort in a beautiful, natural setting with outstanding bay views and 400 feet of private shoreline. It has easy access to all the amenities of MDI and the Downeast coast.
