Cozy and scenic boathouse
My partner and I loved staying in the boathouse. It is in a beautiful location, right next to the ocean, and is conveniently located to explore Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. The boathouse is cozy and comfortable and Arax was a wonderful host.

Beautiful, functional and very peaceful!!!
We loved our stay at the Boat House!!! Arax and friends, family and Coda, were awesome and very helpful, and the accommodations were so well thought out!!! Everything was so functional and beautiful!!! The location was so quiet except for the occasional birds, including loons, owls, hummingbirds and a wide variety of passerines. The views from the deck were spectacular, both day and night, and Bar Harbor was a close and easy drive. We had a wonderful time during our 8 night stay!!!

The boathouse
Conveniently located in the middle of the island. Short drive to everything. Property is beautiful. Loved the landscaping. Once the tide went down, built a camp fire on the shore and enjoyed the amazing Maine stars. House is perfect for two people. Had everything we needed. Would definitely go back!

Lovely spot and great location
The apartment in the boathouse is small but very adequate for a weeks stay. There were many nice touches and it was a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!
