A wonderful house with a fantastic views to the water, woods and a rocky beach to explore, and you can walk to Thurston’s.We had a fantastic stay and the house had everything we needed and is close enough to the park that it’s easy to get anywhere, but far enough to escape the crowd.

We had a most peaceful week in Maine. The setting of the house could not be any more idyllic. We bought live lobsters and cooked at home each day. We tackled hikes in Acadia, biking the carriage roads and a beautiful three hour boat charter from Bass Harbor. We would definitely return

So glad you enjoyed your time at Rock Holme and the setting was just what you were looking for! I'm glad we have the big cook pots and all the implements, pickers, and butter pots for those who want to cook lobsters to have at the house. Its nice that there was a boat charter close by in Bass Harbor that was worth the effort. Hiking this time of the year is the best! Wishing you well, Reine

We absolutely loved our stay here. The ocean view is incredible and truly can’t be beat. We especially enjoyed walking to Thurston’s Lobster Pound for dinner and found the location perfect for exploring Acadia National Park and other destinations around Mount Desert Island.The house itself is exactly what you hope for in this area—a charming cottage-core dream. It was cozy, comfortable, clean, and had everything our family of five needed for a relaxing vacation. There were plenty of blankets, supplies, and thoughtful touches that made settling in effortless.We would absolutely recommend this home to others and would happily stay here again. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Location and ocean view are spectacular! Home is old but very clean. 2 of 5 adults suffered bad allergies that they thought were due to mold in house which, if so, might simply be due to the house’s ocean front location. My lower rating is due solely to the following. Some hosts make you feel like welcome guests - some make you feel like unwelcome potential vandals who need to be watched, threatened and heavily regulated with rules, more rules posted all over the house, tone, criticism and accusations. My review of my last rental was over the top positive purely bc the host graciously made his guests feel truly welcome. Rather than go into details I will simply giver the host the benefit of the doubt by saying that I think this host loves her house bc it has a strong personal history for her. But she ought to keep it for herself if her attachment to the house renders her distrustful and ungracious toward her guests.

Thank you Lisa for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed our house location and found it very clean. I'm sorry if the house rules or tone made you feel uncomfortable. My goals are always to make guests feel welcome. I take cleanliness very seriously and always make sure the house is thoroughly clean between rentals. I haven't found any evidence of mold. I've reviewed the signs in the house and have decided to keep the ones in the laundry room and on the Anderson windows upstairs for guests safety and to protect the property. I've reworded these signs to be as clear and friendly as possible! Wishing you all the best, Reine

Wonderful stay!

My family of four loved our stay in this home! Very clean, comfortable and location on the water can’t be beat. Easy drive to Acadia, and we also enjoyed hiking trails on the quiet side of MDI. Having Thurston’s Lobster Pound in walking distance was the icing on the cake.

Tracy’s house is lovely. The beds were comfortable, the home is well equipped and super clean. Everything functioned perfectly. We loved the location for its privacy, the shoreline, and proximity to Acadia. The house is full of personal touches, artwork and antiques. Tracy had great suggestions for local restaurants and places to visit. We loved walking to Thurstons.

Perfect Maine getaway

Really enjoyed our stay. House was as advertised... right on the water with cottage charm. Very clean and spacious enough for our family of five. My wife enjoyed coffee on the deck overlooking the harbor in the mornings. The kids loved exploring the rocky coast for sea glass, shells and little sea creatures in the evenings.

Million dollar views and cozy home!!

Enjoy the "quiet side" of the island with exquisite views right outside your bedroom window. The rocky shore is a wonderland for kids to explore and see crabs and other sea life in tide pools. Comfortable home has everything you need and instills that quintessential feeling of a Maine cabin. Our family loved it and would return in a heartbeat. Walk to Thurston's Lobster Pound for the best lobster roll on MDI.

Wonderful Place.

The pictures do not do this place justice. My family of five were there for about a week and all had a great time. The views, privacy and quietness were some of the best parts of the home. Not to mention the games that were available and fire pit down by the sure. Reine had the place stocked with whatever you needed and answered questions very quickly. Highly recommend it!!!!

Joe, So glad you and your family enjoyed your stay! Yes it is a very private and quiet spot at the end of our road and right on the point with all the sounds of nature. Glad you found use of the games as my family has over the years enjoyed playing cards and other activities to fill our evenings or when it is raining outside. It is nice to enjoy a fire outside at the pit when it is a clam summer night! I'm glad that you texted me the variety of questions that i was able to quickly respond to and that the information was helpful for activities in the area that are recomended . Hope you and your family will consider a return visit in the future. Reine Tracy

Loved it!

Stayed here with our family for four days the week before July 4th. We had a great time. The setting is right on the water, which provided a cool breeze right into the house while the windows were open. House was well equipped with everything we needed to cook breakfast each day. Took us about 30-35 minutes to get to the Hulls Cove entrance to Acadia. Southwest Harbor was about 10 minutes away with several restaurant options. We loved the private location of the house and we were sad to leave when our time was up. Host provided excellent communication.

A Beautiful Stay in Bernard, Maine

My family and I have vacationed in Maine for over 20 years. This is the first time we rented a house and we are so glad we did! This house was spacious and welcoming. It was decorated beautifully and felt very homey. The deck on the back was large and accommodating: perfect for enjoying your morning coffee! Another bonus was the house's location. We were within walking distance from Thurston's Lobster Pound, our favorite restaurant in Acadia! We had a wonderful stay here and the owner could not have been more friendly or responsive. We hope to be able to return someday in the near future.

Excellent base for any trip to Mount Desert Island

We fell in love with this property! They call this the quiet side of the island—a fitting nickname. The only sounds were fauna rustling in the flora, and the occasional lobster boat heading out into the bay to catch our lunch. The house is comfortable and well-appointed, and though it's very private and feels secluded, it's quite close to many sites worth seeing (and lobster rolls worth tasting!). Reine was a warm and informative host, and we hope to stay in her home on our next trip to Maine. Highly recommended.
