About this property

Private hideaway home with the best nature views. Short drive to coastal views

This hideaway home has been custom built with romance and solitude in mind. Escape to nature but still be within minutes of shopping and convenience items. This home is approx 45 minutes from Acadia National Park, depending on traffic, and within minutes of beautiful coastal views. The home itself is on a dead end side road with a small pond and plenty of wildlife, trails and nature views. There is a small part of the driveway that is a dirt drive and we are still working on the landscape as this is a new construction. Apple trees attract deer, the pond attracts birds of all types and the trails are peaceful and tranquil. Please keep in mind we do live in a hunting community so orange attire is strongly suggested when hiking our paths. The open cathedral ceiling interior boasts a queen size bed fit for a Queen and/or King with a whirlpool tub at the foot complete with an electric fireplace and tv. Our living room area has a beautiful leather couch with a recliner on each end, an electric fireplace and tv. If you want time to yourself, reconnect as a couple or just a perfect place to enjoy, this is the perfect pick.

Awesome place. Everything was very clean and all of the furnishings were on the high end of quality. The bed is absolutely fantastic. Take a nice walk up Hall’s Hill for a great quiet time. Highly recommended for folks looking for peace, quiet and comfort.

What a peacful place to stay. We enjoyed watching a family of deer from the back deck every morning and evening. The home had everything we needed for our four night stay and more. And when a minor issue did arise, the host was able to communicate quickly about it and take care of the situation for us with ease. My husband and I would definitely stay there again in a heartbeat.

Great Getaway!

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a wonderful stay here! The property was nestled back in the woods, providing a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere for our trip. The home was very nice and clean, and had everything we needed to enjoy our vacation to Maine! We were a quick drive from Acadia and Bar Harbor which were awesome! I am very glad we chose to stay here! Overall, we have no complaints and would come again…

New England Getaway

My husband and I stayed here while we were exploring Acadia, and we absolutely loved it. It’s secluded, peaceful and cozy. We stayed at the end of the season and the property was beautiful. It is very dark at night, so if you’re not comfortable arriving in the dark it would be best to drive in the first time before sunset. However, the stars are absolutely beautiful from the deck without the light pollution. Even though we were there to visit the national park, I was almost disappointed we didn’t spend more time exploring the surrounding property. Our host was very accommodating and quick to respond. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Relaxing break

We scheduled 2 days here in the middle of our Maine vacation. Initially the purpose was to get close to the Puffin boat tour. Unfortunately the remnants of a hurricane brought lots of rain and rough enough seas for a small craft advisory, so no boat tour. All that to say the location and timing of our stay here was perfect. Instead of being stuck in a small hotel room surrounded by people, we had our own little cottage in the middle of the woods. Isolated and quiet - perfect! With a grocery store minutes away and several restaurants, we found it both convenient and secluded. This is a rural country cottage that is very unassuming from the outside, but still has the new car smell it is so new and clean. Beautifully finished, it is comfortable and had everything we needed. Private and quiet. Yes, it is rural. Yes, the road is gravel leading up to the cottage. But we had a Kia rental car that handled the road just fine, even with all the rain and standing water. If a night in the woods with nobody around is spooky to you, this isn't the right accommodation. But if you enjoy quiet, peace, being alone with no city or town lights around - you will not be disappointed.

Not what we expected

We rented this property for our 25th wedding anniversary. We were looking for a romantic getaway and felt the description described what we wanted. The inside was beautifully decorated but the shower had a big leak causing us to have to clean it after every shower. In addition, the water in the toilet turned brown after a few flushes. We contacted the owner and she said it was a new well. Because she seemed unconcerned and because we were not sure how the brown water might leak in other sinks we did not feel we could drink the water and had to buy bottled water. Outside, the property did have a pond but the trails were not noticeable, the outside area of the house had not been finished and therefore the rock was hard to walk on and , finally, the road in is dirt/washboard rock with large dips. We are glad we had a truck or we would not have been able to get back there. In addition, the houses you pass as you drive back to this area made it even more concerning. Ultimately, this property was not what we expected from the description. The owner did respond quickly to the messages but did not do anything to remedy the shower leak or concerns about the water. We did leave 3 days early because of the shower and water issue, in addition to the other things I mentioned here. Just want people to be aware of what they are getting when renting this.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Aug, 2024
Please understand that we are a rural, small-town community. Some tarred roads lead to dirt roads. Honestly, we think it adds to the charm of this location. We have a private dug well and close/drain water from this home for the harsh ME winter months. The water was a bit rusty brown when these guests arrived since it had just been started for the season. The water is now clear, and we have had no complaints since the first 2 guests. We have installed a better water filter. The shower has glass doors and on occasion some water leaks out around the glass/gaskets. We have since used silicone to try and stop the leaks. Again, new construction and often these kind of things needs to be addressed. We don't want a wet floor any more than our guests. We want our camp/home to last for years. Some of the outside grass area had just been hydroseed. So, yes that was a work in progress. Grass doesn't grow overnight, and it was only in one area. It has since grown and to us, is looking quite nice. Again, this property is at the end of a dead-end road. It goes from tar to a dirt drive, all of which is passable with a normal car. We do it often when we don't have guests. The trails are there but aren't marked, since it's just for your pleasure if you care to walk around and explore the property. We love our location and natural surroundings, but we also understand small town living isn't for everyone. Please don't judge our home based solely on this review.
