Amazingly beautiful location, right on the beach! The house had ample space, the hosts were very receptive to issues we came across. The kitchen was a little less clean than houses we have stayed in the past, especially for the cost of this house. Overall we had a wonderful stay, enjoyed every minute of it.

We appreciate your response, David. I remember the first time Cheryl and I sat in the Adirondacks in the garden overlooking Frenchman Bay, it was a beautiful evening, and the seals were out and their songs echoed across Raccoon Cove. We immediately fell in love with the place and the setting. We spend a good bit of time over at Acadia National Park on MDI and it is always nice to come home and look at MDI from a distance and to enjoy the peace and quiet of our place on the bay.

Thank you Diana, nice to know that our home and gardens provided all that you needed for your family. Out children and grandchildren love exploring the tide pools for marine wildlife and it’s always a wonderful opportunity to speak with them about respect for all living things. The gardens are also a favorite spot for our grandchildren to play hide and seek. Glad to hear that you enjoyed every moment and we hope to see you again. Thanks

It’s a beautiful property, great views. The path to the side door has some overgrown bushes making it a little narrow to get through and not well lit at night. It’s chilly in the house this time of year. There’s a wood stove but it’s not for guests and the heat in the bedrooms says do not use. Thankfully the host said that we could turn it on to take the chill out. Unfortunately I was sick upon arrival and hoping to check in early. The host gave us the go ahead around 230pm but when we arrived the cleaning lady was still there and very unpleasant. She said that she gets paid by the hour and was staying until 4pm. I explained that I was sick and we were told we could check in but she said that she drove 45 minutes to get there and planned on taking her time to get paid. It was an uncomfortable situation to say the least. Check out time is 10am and check in is 4pm. For the price of the rental I think that’s unfair. But I’m guessing the cleaning lady is milking it for all its worth.

Great Views

We had a great week at the house. Easy clear instructions for check in. House was clean and in good condition. The views from the yard and access to the water were fantastic. The kids had a great time playing in the tide pools at low tide and there was a nice pebble beach right down the street too.

Beautiful view and location

The property that this house sits on is amazing. The garden was in bloom with bees buzzing, and a doe who came through there to nibble on some plants. Beach access down to the ocean. The inside of the property was also really nice, plenty of space for our family of 6. Only about a 35 minute drive into Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Highly recommend this property

Wonderful family holiday!

This was a great week for our family. We enjoyed being right on the water. We put our kayak in the water on day one and left it tied up all week. We spent a lot of time on the water and in the large, shaded backyard. With little kids, it was nice being close to stores in Ellsworth. It was an easy drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The view of the mountains, sunrises, and sunsets were beautiful. We also had a porcupine cross the backyard every evening around 7:30pm. The house met all of our needs!

Hey Vicky, glad to hear that you found the house and property to your satisfaction. We also love to kayak and spend time on the beach and water of Frenchman Bay - very relaxing and peaceful Happy to know that you enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets also, they are spectacular. We often plan out autumn, winter, and early spring visits to coincide with moonrises that come shortly after sunset, especially beautiful during full moon nights. Something about the moon shimmering over the water of the bay late into the evening Hope to see you again Thank you for choosing Loon Ledge

Fabulous home with stunning view

What a fabulous home! We absolutely LOVED this home. Views were stunning. The private rocky beach provided hours of exploring time for our grandkids ages 8 and 4. And the wildlife was a great surprise. A mom and 2 baby deer walking right across the beautiful yard. Our grandkids didn't want to go anywhere else! House had all you could want to make dinner in the kitchen or grilling. The drive to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor was about 35 minutes away, depending on time of day. Everything was perfect.

From the owner: "Thanks Patti, we’re very happy to hear that your family enjoyed time together at Loon Ledge on Frenchman Bay. We feel blessed every time our family gathers along the shore in Downeast Maine. We are hopeful that you will visit again, seasonal changes offer a wonderful opportunity to experience foliage variations in trees and flowering plants as well as the rising and setting of the sun and moon."

Stunning Views and Beautiful Home!

This home is just incredible! It is close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park but is far enough away that you can escape the crowds and truly relax. The windows looking out to the water were so wonderful and we enjoyed having coffee on the couch while taking in the view. The backyard and access to the water were also amazing, and our kids loved exploring in the tide pools! This was a wonderful spot for our families to relax, play games, and enjoy the outdoors! The owners have everything you might need to cook a meal at home, and provide plenty of towels, soap, blankets etc. to make the stay very comfortable. All of the beds were comfortable and clean, and we will definitely stay again when we are back in Maine!

Future lovely home

The property that we booked does not look like the property in the photo. They are in the middle of renovation but neglected to tell us. We still had a lovely week. The property is beautiful and overlooks the water. It felt private even though there were houses on each side. The location was good. I would stay again in the future if they finish the remodel and add some things to make it more guest friendly.

The Hurricane Lee Visit to Loon Ledge

The Hurricane was just a nor'easter for Loon Ledge, but the waves at Schoodic Point--oh my! What a great house in which to see the power of nature. James Mitchell kept checking in with us to make sure we were okay during the storm. On our seven days on Frenchman Bay, we headed out daily for mountain hikes at Acadia and beach scrambles on the ledges and headlands of Schoodic. Loon Ledge was a magical place in which to unwind after the activity of the day. We brought a spotting scope and set it up in the garden overlook to see (17) seals lolling around in the middle of the bay at dusk -- as we sipped some Downeast Cider. Perfection!

Peaceful and Relaxing

We enjoyed our stay. The property is a good 30 minutes away from Acadia so the back and forth travel was a little unexpected. The house itself is very accommodating. Especially if your group is up to 6 people. I would be a good idea to add more plates and heavy glasses.

Spectacular Views/Tired Furniture

Loved the location and enjoyed hours of bird watching and star gazing before and after exploring Acadia. Wonderful yard provided hours of enjoyment for our two young grandchildren. My only hesitation with recommending the property is that the furnishings were dated and bedrooms upstairs had minimal furnishings. With that said, we created wonderful memories there and would go back in an instant.
