About this property

Welcome to this charming house on the border of Mount Desert and Tremont. This marvelous property has 6 cozy bedrooms, including 4 queen beds, 2 twin beds, and 1 king bed. With a quiet back yard shaded by a massive maple tree, this nice retreat offers 2 bathrooms for your convenience. Situated on a private dead end road, a peaceful 5 minute walk into Acadia National Park and Hodgdon Pond. Less than a 5 minute drive to the Pretty Marsh Picnic area or the Algerine Coast, whether you seek solace a back road leading to long pond or the vistas of the rocky Maine coast, our family home can provide it all. Part of a former parcel of over a thousand acres, most of which was sold to Acadia National Park. Centrally located about 20 minutes from all major towns and villages on MDI.

About the host
Hosted by Hilary
From Mount Desert Island we are happy to offer up our family home for the first time to the public. Many warm family memories were made here, the land owned or generations by the same family. We have outgrown it now, as our kids are getting older, and moved to a nearby town. We own and operate a local business offering groundskeeping and housekeeping services to summer residents and locals alike.
Why they chose this property
The Hodgdon family is on the original historical register of families documented on MDI. This property was originally a dairy farm for the Hodgdon family. Passed down for generations we strive to find ways to keep it in the family for our children to inherit. This property chose us and is available to the public for a limited time.
What makes this property unique
Quiet and situated away from the hustle and bustle of towns, yet close to ponds, lakes and the ocean as well as convenience stores and shops. Cozy home with plenty of room for families to tuck in and spend quality time together, yet enough room for multiple families to find their own space. Multiple outdoor spaces, including two decks, a front lawn and lower lawn with fire pit and kid playhouse, in addition to a fenced in back yard.
