About the host
Hosted by Peter Miano
I first came to Maine and Mt. Desert Island as an 18 year old bound for a year long volunteer assignment at Our School in Robbinston, about 100 miles east of MDI. That is when I fell in love with the land and seascapes of Maine, its natural beauty, its powerful seasons (if you haven't discovered Maine in Winter, maybe now is the time), and its rich heritage. Over the years, I returned often to Acadia and Downeast for family vacations.

Why they chose this property
After a long, tedious search for a place to buy and enjoy and after several frustrations, I found Shore Haven, although it wasn't called that at the time. It was love a first sight. Its unsurpassed natural setting and extraordinary access to all the amenities of MDI, not to mention all of Downeast and the interior as well, were strong attractions for me. In addition, Shore Haven's house (Overlook) and two chalets (Spruce and Birch) offered the opportunity of welcoming others to enjoy MCI the same way that I do with my family and friends. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. I hope the Maine coast enchants you the way is does me. Relax, have fun, soak up the atmosphere. Welcome to Shore Haven.
