About this property

Oceanfront home on the Maine coast minutes from Schoodic portion of Acadia NP.

Three story cottage on a quiet, serene lot overlooking Prospect Harbor with views of Corea. Walk down the short steps to the breathtaking ocean scene. This is classic Maine; rugged coastline and crashing surf. Listen to and watch the lobster fishermen and women as they haul their traps getting ready to sell you the freshest Maine lobster around. The house was built in 2004 by a local carpenter who happens to be on your house management team! This house is clean, has a fully stocked kitchen, all linens, is well kept and ready for your enjoyment.
Why battle the crowds on Mount Desert Island when you can stay on the Schoodic Peninsula and do day trips to Bar Harbor? Besides, we have the lovely Schoodic section of Acadia with gorgeous, moss lined hiking and wide biking trails. You are likely to see porpoises, seals, and all manner of sea birds. A moose? Perhaps. Deer? Very likely. Foxes, rabbits, coyotes and regularly...bald eagles.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Everything was great. The stairs for the loft are off the master bedroom so keep in mind the kids will be able to come in and out through there. The views are great. There’s a swimming beach not far away. Great place to see Acadia from. Zero problems with this property.

This property is an hour drive from the more popular area of Acadia. It’s in a beautiful area and right on the ocean- very nice. Very clean and pretty well stocked - a little short on towels for 5 people. Alison was wonderful to work with. Very friendly and paid attention to the details which is rare these days so we really appreciated that!

The property is as listed in the property description. The area is peaceful and the view of the golf/ocean is excellent. The living area was spacious for 4 of us. . The beds on the 3 rd floor are a nice addition but accessing them through the master could be tricky with a bigger group. Would make a good place for kids to stay. We had a great time putting a puzzle during our stay There are places to get food nearby and markets to buy necessities. Bigger grocery trips to Ellsworth is about a 45 min drive or there is a grocery store in Bar harbor if already making a trip there.

The location was great, very private and the view was awesome. The sunrises were spectacular and the house accommodated us all nicely. Bar Harbor is just a ferry ride away or you can drive. Acadia NP is a must see. We drove to Bangor and it was a very nice drive.

Thanks for staying at Lobster Lodge Susan! We are so glad you had a nice stay. I think the pogies were running while you were here which might be the schools of fish you were seeing. We say them out at schoodic as well. Alison

Alison and Scott were very accommodating to everything we needed. They addressed any questions or concerns we had quickly. They also assisted with ideas for everything we wanted to do in Maine. The location of the home was perfect for exploring Northern Maine, Acadia, Schoodic peninsula, Jasper Beach, Sandy River Beach, Stonington, Belfast, Deer Isle, Nervous Nellies James and Jellies. We found a few wonderful breweries, pubs, and shopping in Ellsworth. We did a moose tour in Greenville. Also found the B52 crash site memorial in Greenville. The home had amazing views of the ocean. Many windows to open so we could smell the ocean, hear the waves crashing on the rocks, hear the ringing bell of the buoy, many birds, seals, and even a dolphin. Sun rinse and sun sets were amazing. Because there are open views of the sky we were able to see many shooting stars as we spent our evenings at the fire. The gas grill was in good shape and full of propane for our use. We found the propane cooker in the garage so we were able to cook the lobster outside. Homemade ice cream in town is very good. Thankfully for our waistline, we visited this on our last day. The home was comfortable and roomy for the 7 adults we had on our trip. It was a welcome place to return to after a day of exploring Maine.We cant thank Alison and Scott enough for helping us make our trip special and for accommodating all our request. It was hard to leave because they made us feel like Family.

Obviously the photo is not of Scott, the owner. I am Alison, the local contact who will manage your booking and answer any questions you might have. My husband, Eric, built the house and helps with maintenance. You can reach me at 207-460-6828. (texts are a great form of communication for me) I look forward to meeting you.

Why they chose this property

This property is not far from stores that stock your basic needs but secluded enough to be a real hideaway. It is a fantastic home base for exploring or the perfect place for some serious down time. Kick those feet up and watch the boats go by as you listen to the gulls and the rolling or crashing waves.

What makes this property unique

Stunning views. Privately located but close enough to local restaurants, gas station, grocery stores. Right down the street from "The Pickled Wrinkle," the ever popular local pub where you will find locals and tourists mingling and dancing! This is a spacious house in good condition and the kitchen has all the equipment you need to prepare your own meals.
With a fire pit, picnic table, and patio chairs, gathering together at the end of a day of exploration is relaxing. And don't forget to look up!! Our night sky is amazing and we often see the milky way on clear nights.
