My 6th visit...The privacy, the peace and quiet and view of the tidal river make the 8 hour trip worthwhile. The location perfect for day trips to Lubec and Acadia.

Thanks for your suggestions! We appreciate the feedback. Looks like you enjoyed your stay overall. Thanks for staying with us.
Great location, right on the water, but very active tides. if you just want a view and don't need bay access from the property, this is a great choice. Peaceful and quiet, lots of room to spread out and enjoy the indoors when you're not out and about. Town is cute but also very quiet. Everything was just right for our two week stay

Thank you for reviewing the Sea Smoke Cottage. The bay frontage does offer a changing scene with the tides changing every six hours or so. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay!
Beautiful cottage with bay views, and close to Acadia, was the perfect place for our family vacation!

There are so many fun places to explore in addition to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. We hope that you discovered some of those as well.

Wonderful time, quiet and location was absolutely beautiful. House was dated but quaint and fit our family. Cleanliness was ok and a couple things could use an update but overall, we had a great time and would stay there again!!

You would be most welcome to return. We hope to hear from you soon!
Very pleasant. My second year staying here. Nice location on the bay & easy drive north along the coast or south to Schoodic & Acadia.

Thanks for staying with us again! We really appreciate your repeat business. Milbridge is a wonderful central location for visiting Acadia National Park to the south or Eastport and Lubec to the north. There's plenty to see and experience!
We enjoyed our stay. The view is great and so is the location. Milbridge is a great little town, and makes for a great base for short day trips to surrounding communities, including MDI. The cabin itself is fairly rustic, but has most of the necessary creature comforts one expects. Water pressure was a bit low and the bed was not very comfortable, but that is partly a matter of preference.

Milbridge is a sweet little town. There's more going on there than one would expect. Whether you want to go out to eat, see a movie, take in some art, or find a lovely hike, it's all there in Milbridge.
Thanks again for staying with us!
We enjoyed our stay at Sea Smoke Cottage. The quiet location on the bay was beautiful and the tidal changes each day were amazing. The cottage was spotless and stocked with everything we needed. We spent so much time sightseeing in the area that I wish we had more time to simply relax on the bay. Thank you for a great stay!

Serene, and calming, but still close enough to go to bars and restaurants as well as hiking and sightseeing. Just what we were looking for

Thanks for your feedback! Milbridge is a lovely little fishing village just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, but close enough to enjoy day trips. The village itself does have what you need in terms of places to eat and activities to keep you entertained. So glad you enjoyed your stay!
Beautiful location right on the water. Used as a home base as we explored up and down the coast.

We are so pleased that the cottage was just what you needed. Finding a place to rest, relax and rejuvenate is a welcome experience. Glad Jack enjoyed it too!
Nice cottage directly on water. Relaxed while watching the tide go in and out. While out, watched the fisherman clamming right in front of us. Enjoyed walking our dog on the rural road, speaking with local residents.Location is perfect for exploring Downeast Maine from Mt Desert Isl to Lubec. The town Milbridge has everything you need for your stay.
