Tranquility Gate House on beautiful estate on Frenchman's Bay

Tranquility Gate House is part of a 9.5 acre estate with access to 1000 feet of shore front and private deep water dock on Frenchman's Bay just 5 minutes from downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Go beach combing on our 2 private rocky Maine beaches with views across the bay to Schoodic mountain and Bar Harbor, or stroll one of the many nature paths along the shore through the gardens and around 2 ponds.
There's also bocce and a croquet court and large open lawns for your outdoor activities. Spend your afternoons and evenings on the new, large deck overlooking the sweeping lawn and gardens with peekaboo views of the Bay. The deck has a big table for outdoor family dining and comfortable chairs and lounges to relax on throughout the day. There is also a separate screened in patio to relax in with cozy reading chairs and a couch.

The Gate House is one of two cottages available on the Tranquility Estate with room to sleep seven and a playroom to accommodate children - 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 powder room, sleeps 7 with plenty of extra room for kids on futons. On the second floor is the king sized master bedroom with a pull-out couch and ensuite, and two queen sized bedrooms that share a full bathroom across the hall. Both of these bathrooms have a tub/shower combo. The fourth bedroom is a twin in the finished basement where there is a full bath with walk-in shower stall, laundry room, extra living area, and pool table. The first floor features the spacious open living room, kitchen, and two dining tables, as well as a half bath.

Maine Getaway
“Tranquility” is well-named. Our family (my husband and me, plus three adult “kids”, and one mini-Aussie Shepherd) enjoyed the peace and quiet of the Gate House and all its surrounding beauty. Multiple daily walks to the beaches through the meandering features of the Japanese Garden or on the direct path to the beach and the long dock - all afforded amazing views that encapsulated the beauty of Maine. The house was spacious and clean. We especially enjoyed the screened porch for sharing morning coffee and often watching 3 wild turkeys visit the yard. It is a short drive to Bar Harbor to restaurants and shops, and an even shorter drive to the Hull’s Cove entrance to Acadia. Though Hurricane Lee impacted our plans for time on the water since floats had to be pulled a few days before the storm, we left hoping to return to MDI and Tranquility and add those plans to our next trip. Thank you, Lee, for being so responsive.

Superb house and stay!
The house was absolutely beautiful — much bigger than it looks in pictures, clean, and stocked with everything we needed. The grounds were even more stunning. We loved walking through the large gardens and forest, down to the private shore, and onto the dock. Our family loved our stay here! The communication with the property property manager was also excellent! We had a couple of questions that were answered in a matter of minutes. We highly recommend!

Family vacation with adult children and spouses
We had a great time during our stay. The house and property is large and quiet. It was centrally located so easy to explore the island, Arcadia park and the surrounding area by car. The house was comfortably designed for room to relax, play cards/games, cool, watch movies and roam the beautiful property.
