Frenchman Bay Getaway❤️

There were 4 adults that stayed at this wonderful place and there was plenty of room for us all. The cottage was just perfect in every way. (5 stars for cleanliness, 5 stars for comfort, 5 stars for location, 5 stars for everything else too!). The beds were very comfortable, bathrooms were so clean. The kitchen had everything needed from the coffee pot in the morning to the lobster pot at night. The views from the deck were beautiful every moment of the day. The cottage is located in between the scoodic peninsula and Acadia, and we were able to enjoy so much including some hidden gems. This was our 2nd time to stay here and we will be back.

A peaceful little slice of heaven

We loved our stay at this property. It came fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay. It was very clean and cozy. The kids loved the giant telescope and going down to the water every morning to see what treasures they could find. My husband and I loved waking up to the peace and quiet and just sitting out on the big deck watching the lobster boats or occasional sail boat out in the water. We would definitely stay here again.

Maine Getaway

After a 12 hour drive, it was such a relief to arrive at this lovely property. The cabin included all of the necessary essentials and we woke up to the most fabulous waterfront view! The property is tucked into the woods and very peacefully secluded. We enjoyed about a 40 minute scenic drive to Bar Harbour, as well as Acadia National Park on a daily basis.We would definitely stay there again!!!

Maine adventure

We enjoyed the beautiful and comfy waterfront cabin. The location is perfect for exploring Acadia! We saw bald eagles and ospreys fly right by the deck. We enjoyed the company of a chunky raccoon. Also, this is conveniently located close to a small market and Ruth & Wimpys for dinner.

Quiet and relaxing

Cabin is nicely situated near Schoodic Point and the rest of Acadia. About a 45-55 minute drive to Bar Harbor. The cabin gets you into the woods and away from the touristy areas. Love watching the tide come in and out. Susan was very responsive and has equipped the cabin with everything that you need. Lots of information has been complied about the area and it was extremely helpful to have that on hand. We were able to see a bald eagle fly past the panoramic window and land on a tree nearby. We were also able to see the woodpecker and deer. Alas no seals. However I definitely recommend the cabin. The only thing you might want to bring is goulashes so you can walk all the way across the cove at low tide at the site nearer the cabin.

A peaceful dream house

What a perfect place to relax and enjoy this area! This home was immaculate and had everything you could need for a perfect Maine vacation. You could never leave the house and be content with the beautiful view from the deck. Everything Acadia has to offer is a short drive away. Susan was a caring host and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. I enjoyed chating with her and learning the history of this beautiful Maine home.

Wonderful and Quiet Location

We knew we picked the right place when we arrived and saw the big picture window looking I er the water. Communication with proper owner was quick and efficient. Though roomy, there are many interesting items around the spacious cabin. The porch was an added bonus that not only provided a stunning view of the water, but the night sky. Rooms spacious and well-organized. Would definitely rent again.

Favorite vacation spot!

This is our favorite rental property in Maine and we return every year! The peaceful seclusion of the cove, the beautiful view from the living space and the deck, the access to good restaurants and day trips to Bar Harbor, the 1/4 mile drive from the house to the main road that makes you feel like you're living in a forest - we love it all! Susan is the perfect host and in the 6-7 years since we've been coming we've never had an issue. Beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked, water pressure in the shower is good, and even in July/August it's never felt stuffy inside, thanks to the overhead fans - crank open the windows and enjoy the breeze and beauty of the cove!

Spent a few days in a very special place surrounded by pristine nature. The cottage was welcoming and full of history. Owners, Jim and Susan, and the property manager, Ernie, were readily available and truly cared about our well-being. We made beautiful memories and hope to come back in the future!

Magical and peaceful retreat!

This was an absolutely magical and peaceful retreat. We were surrounded by nature and serenity. There are birds everywhere and it is a joy to watch them soaring around the bay. There is so much history with this property and care and respect for the land really shines through. The house is impeccably clean and well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We were able to sleep peacefully uninterrupted by noise and feel restored from our stay. I was genuinely sad to leave! If you are looking for a place to stay away from the hustle and bustle this is the place for you. Thank you for a magnificent visit to Maine!

Relaxing

We had a great time at this beautiful home away from home. Susan was amazing, we had run into an issue with the accommodations we had before our scheduled stay here and Susan made it possible for us to check into her beautiful family home a day early! What a Blessing that was. The home was very clean and comfortable. The views amazing! So quiet and relaxing just hanging out watching the eagles soar and the seals play was so cool! A real gem!

Lovely visit

Location of property couldn't be more beautiful. Very secluded and quiet with gorgeous water view. We enjoyed watching the change of tides. House was very clean and kitchen well stocked. Had everything for a lobster dinner. Owner called to check in with us after we arrived. Thought that was very kind. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Sullivan get away

The location was ideal for our purposes. The setting is beautiful and peaceful. We appreciated the owner checking in with us the evening of our arrival. We would have liked a few additional instructions about where to find extra blankets and such. The maps and other information located in the map room were helpful. The inside of the house could use some updating, such as the bathrooms, and owner's personal effects from closets should be removed. The wifi signal was weak, but probably it's because of the location.

The location is serene with great views of the cove, kids loved exploring it in both high and low tides. There were a ton of thoughtful touches provided in the cottage to make the stay interesting and comfortable. The cherry on too was seeing the seals basking in evening sun using the scope provided.

Perfect Getaway

A beautiful, simple, clean and comfortable house for our Maine vacation with tons of information at the house to aid in our journeys. Highlights of our trip included several days hiking at the Schoodic Peninsula (portion of Acadia NPS) including incredible views from the Schoodic Overlook (a short but steep hike); Schoodic Beach at Donnell Pond; ferry from Winter Harbor to Bar Harbor; dining at the Pickled Wrinkle & ice cream at Morton Moo in Ellsworth. Plus exploring around the house and property, with the great views, huge tide changes and incredible sunsets is a great way to spend a day!

This secluded cottage was everything we needed - peaceful & quiet along a beautiful estuary. A++

Owners keep this property very well maintained and easy access down to the tidal estuary perfect for a mid to high-tide swim. The cottage is down a dirt road off Rt 1, but you cannot even hear the road! It's not not too far from Acadia nor Schoonic Peninsula for some great biking. A blue grass concert at Tidal Falls (Frenchman's Bay) on Monday eve was perfect, and we loved just sitting out on the deck every night savoring the view and evening sunset while enjoying some wine and locally steamed lobsters. A perfect get-a-way!
