This is an amazing property near the Schoodic Peninsula. I watched seals hunting from the deck overlooking the cove.

We loved every minute of our stay! It was wonderful waking up on the water everyday. We had so much fun bird watching and kayaking. Our dog had the time of his life exploring the peninsula. The home was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay and Tori was a great, responsive host. We can't wait to come back!

Beautiful little compound in a great private area. The location cannot be beat. We simply loved it, especially with our dogs. The family is wonderful to work with. We did not find having to use bottled water for cleaning, drinking or cooking (esp since so much is provided) an issue. We'd honestly stay here again in a heartbeat!

Our retreat was awesome with gorgeous views of the bay, eagles and other magnificent birds plus 3-4 seals who visited us daily. Along with nearby hiking trails we drove into Acadia National Park which was unfortunately very crowded so we hurried back to our very own peninsula to enjoy the solitude, watching the tides roll in and out. Definitely recommend our location to others seeking peacefu gorgeous escape .

About the host

Hosted by Tori Offenberg

Host profile image
My family is from Newport, Rhode Island and we have been traveling to Milbridge ME for about 15 years since my Granny, Chris Offenberg, inherited this property from her friend Connie. We have loved this place so much for all these years and are excited by the opportunity for others to enjoy it as well! This was one of Granny's favorite places in the world and she was so happy to show us everything she loved about it, mostly all the rocks! We hope our guests enjoy it just as much as she always did and respect our family's special place.
