Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by G Biallas and D Sackett
Our family fell in love with Downeast Maine in the early 1970's when we used to tent camp in Camden Maine and visit Acadia as a day trip. Soon we were exclusively tent and RV camping at Blackwoods Campground in Acadia. After approximately 10 years, we decided to buy a piece of Mount Desert Island to call our own. We gutted and lovingly renovated this 1930's cottage situated on 2 acres, adding all modern amenities. As our family grew we added an additional room for extra living space along with a deck where we enjoy many a meal together. At night we sit on the deck or grab chairs and sit in the front yard to enjoy viewing the dark night sky and the Milky Way and if we are lucky we catch the occasional Aurora Borealis and brilliant shooting stars.
Why they chose this property
There is the old adage: "Location, Location, Location!", it might sound corny but that's what is great about our property - being situated in the middle of Mount Desert Island affords us great opportunities to explore Acadia. Staying on the island easily saves valuable vacation time.
What makes this property unique
We have a close proximity to the Sieur De Monts (5 min/2.5mi) and Seal Harbor (6min/3.8mi) entrances to Acadia National Park. Through these entrances you could be out on the rocky Atlantic coastline or on a hiking trail within 15-20 minutes. We are just 3 short miles from Downtown Bar Harbor where you can enjoy unique shops, a variety of restaurants and entertainment, leisure parks and a great shore path from which you can view the noteable Porcupine Islands.
