About this property

The Maine Idea - Close to the village, 4 bedroom, 2 bath, A/C, 45 min to Acadia

This lovely cape sits just outside of the village of Blue Hill and is comfortable for up to eight guests. With four bedrooms (king on the main level, queen, double, and two twins on the second floor) and two full baths (downstairs with shower, upstairs with shower and tub), the house is cozy and roomy at the same time. A dedicated workspace on the porch offers privacy. Air conditioning. This is a great home base for day trips exploring the Blue Hill peninsula and surrounding towns, Deer Isle/Stonington, Bucksport, Bar Harbor, and Acadia National Park. A fenced-in area is convenient for dogs and children (at guests' discretion). Rents Friday to Friday from May through October. Dogs under 50 lbs are welcome with extra fee and signed dog agreement.

Review from the first guests who stayed June 2024:

Great House Great Location
Our family spent a great week at Maine Idea. The pictures accurately display the property. The house was clean, well decorated and had everything a group could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Blue Hill is a great centrally located home base for day trips to many of Maine’s best locations. The “Mail Boat” from Stonington to Isle Au Haut” is a great way to spend a day and there are a number of beautiful hiking trials in the area.

Great House Great Location

The house was very clean, well decorated and stocked with everything you might need. Blue Hill is a great central location allowing for day visits to some of Maine’s best locations. Taking the Mail Boat from Stonington out to Isle Au Haut is a must do day trip. We hope to visit again.

Song Camp

This home was very comfortable for 6 adults and two children. We enjoyed the deck as well as the living room. All we needed was provided.

Great place for a family trip

This is the perfect house for a family trip. There is plenty of space for everyone. The large master bedroom is separate from the other rooms and has a slider out to the deck. The home is well equipped with anything you might need. The one time we needed something that wasn't there, the host dropped it off at the house within a couple of hours! The only negative is it is on a busy road, so it was noisy in the morning on the deck. In the evening on the deck you can see all the stars on a clear night!
