This house sits in beautiful surroundings. We came in October to see the fall folliage, and we were blown away by view. The house was very clean and well-kept and comfortable. Its a bit of a drive to Acadia, but well worth this trip.

We had the most amazing vacation and this house played a big part in it. The house is very well maintained and is in a beautiful yet quaint location. 2 bedrooms in the first floor (perfect for elderly travelers) and 2 in the second floor. The kitchen had all appliances and pots/pans and some minimum spices which were all perfect.The Pigeon Hill Preserve is 5 minutes from this house, and that has some excellent hiking trails leading up to the Summit which offers fantastic view of the area.Overall, this was a truly memorable stay.

A peaceful, picturesque vacation spot

We have spent many vacations at Petit Manan but this was our first fall experience & the first in this lovely home. The home was spotless on arrival, well appointed and nicely decorated. The furniture was very comfortable and the view magnificent. We enjoyed reconnecting with family in the neighborhood and our pup enjoyed walking on the shore. We very much hope to return!

Quiet Getaway on the Bay

Clean, comfortable and well-equipped house on the bay. Great short hikes within easy walking distance from the front door, good roads for cycling, and nice views just from walking along the bay. Traveling with an elderly parent, we could get out for a couple of hours at a time and leave Dad napping in the chair, yet also spend time with him just sitting, reading books and all the while watching the water. So relaxing.

Outstanding house in Steuben

First, the house gleamed; never been in a rental property so immaculate. It lacked for nothing: towels, bed linens, cleaning and basic cooking supplies and more. For once, didn’t feel that “I should have brought that.” It’s in a tranquil location, unbelievably quiet. neighbours are friendly, property manager always available and responsive. Great views of the Pigeon Bay, and access that made kayak launching a breeze. The trail access was terrific: we walked from the house to Petit Manan Refuge where blueberry picking was a delight. Would definitely recommend this property for a Down-East vacation.

bay views and comfort

Definitely enjoyed 1155, just a great location for relaxation and tranquility. Nice home, everything newish and functioning. Located on a large bay where morning lobsterman can wake you, but so what. Sometimes fog over bay, that sun would burn off revealing beautiful views. Nice easy hikes nearby to National Wildlife Refugee and Pigeon Hill Preserve Hill. Easy drives to nearby small towns for most needs. Summer traffic in larger towns of Bar Harbor [Acadia NP] and Ellsworth, and no problem finding anything needed there. Weather in mid-July was high 70s low 80s, sunny most days, rain one day. Dog friendly home. Nearby Milbridge has grocery, gas, gift shop, liquor, 44 degrees bar restaurant; knotty lobster lady red trailer eatery, park. Other eateries along Rt 1 towards Milbridge or Ellsworth.

Wonderful Home with great view out front window

We had an awesome vacation. The house was perfect. Great view from the front window. It was fascinating how fast the fog can roll in and just as quickly roll out. We were blessed with terrific weather - sunny and in low 70's. We enjoyed hiking the Pigeon Hill Preserve. We took trips out to Schoodic Point and saw seals. The older girls did some kayaking. We also went to Bar Harbor and visited Acadia. We hiked Jordan Pond and had tea at Jordan Pond House. Went swimming at Jone's beach and Sandy Cove Beach. We had lobster rolls from the knotty lobster and ice cream from the frosty claw. We did buy groceries in Ellsworth before coming to the house. That was helpful. The house was very relaxing and nice to come home to after very active days. Overall, it was everything we wanted, needed and more. I would definitely go again.

In love with Maine.

We had such a fun time this week - The home is very comfortable and clean and we loved waking up to the beautiful sounds and sights of the water. The surrounding area is beautiful. We loved Petit Manan Wildlife Refuge and Pigeon Hill as well as the area across from Pigeon Hill where we could walk to the water. We also took drives to Schoodic Woods/Acadia as well as the Acadia/Bar Harbor area. Well worth the drive. I, as well as my husband and 3 teens, cannot wait to visit again.

Secluded and beautiful

We had a wonderful stay at Mary’s cottage. It was cozy and sparkling clean. Communication was top notch, checkin process super simple. We particularly enjoyed the location of the house across the street from Pigeon Bay, so we could put in our kayaks (which we brought from home) without having to drive anywhere. The bay is spectacular! There is excellent hiking nearby and if you are adventurous enough and like off the beaten path activities: at Cutler Public Land 1.5 hrs north. We saw incredible see cliffs and views without the Acadia NP. crowds. In the evening we enjoyed a bonfire out back, and also got a visit from a porcupine who seems to reside nearby, as well as a wonderful neighborhood kitty Merlin. AAA+ to Mary!
