Although our stay was only 3 nights, we had a fantastic time at the private waterfront cottage, Raven’s Nest. We especially enjoyed taking advantage of the outdoor spaces and eating areas. It was so relaxing sitting outside-the water views are exceptional and it is so peaceful and calm there. The deck is a fabulous place to view the sunrise or to star gaze!Gary, our gracious host was accessible and knowledgeable. While new to the area he pointed us to great eating establishments, as well as the nearby organic market, unique shops, sightseeing, and hiking trails. It was nice to come back after a day of hiking and just relax on the deck. We highly recommend Raven’s Nest and hope to return someday. We reflected, renewed and recharged by the sparkling water.

We were very happy with all aspects of our visit to this lovely cottage. It’s located right on Blue Hill Bay; there was plenty of room for the two of us; it was quiet and peaceful and the hosts Carol and Leslie were great. They responded immediately to any question or issue that we had. We’ve been renting properties in the Blue Hill area for over 30 years, and this was definitely one of the best.

Ravens Nest- great vacation

We especially enjoyed the outdoor accommodations. Beautiful sunrises were enjoyed from the deck as well as from the water’s edge. We loved watching the boats, the tides rise, the abundance of nature and honesty even enjoyed watching a thunder storm roll in from the gazebo. Its a great location for all the areas we wanted to visit and Maine seafood never disappoints.

Very comfortable cottage on the bay

Property was comfortable and provided anything you might need during your stay. The owner’s were welcoming. We enjoyed the wonderful views of the bay and spent much of our time on the deck watching the wildlife. It was exactly what we needed to relax and explore the area, including Acadia National Park.
