Vacationers come to Maine for many reasons. Here is one more. Secluded on 37 acres with 1000 feet shore front this immaculate post and beam cottage has been referred to as "The Castle On the Bay". The pictures tell why. We have found that one of the most liked aspects of renting here is the outside fireplace with it's two gas fired lobster cookers as well as a large gas grill.
A great spot for cooking and family get togethers. Some of the following check mark info's does not cover everything such as the fact that the cottage is on an estuary of the ocean and therefore has very calm waters for kayaking and exploring the shoreline. The cottage sits alone on this 37 acre spot therefore has a great deal of privacy. There is a gate that you can lock at night for total privacy.

This was the best VRBO experience we have had yet. Not only was the cabin in a beautiful, peaceful location, but it was remarkably clean. Tina, the host, had remarkably good communication which was thorough and sincere. The location of the stay makes a vacation, and this made our vacation wonderful. Thank you for a great stay!

Family Holiday
We had a very relaxing week in nature at Tina’s wonderful house. It is located on a quiet lane on the edge of Franklin. It is a wonderful spot in the middle of a quiet forest along the waters edge. The house was well appointed with all the things we needed to have a comfortable week with our family of six. Thanks again Tina!

This is truly a beautiful home and setting which made for a very peaceful and quiet getaway. The canoe/kayaks were another highlight of the property; we frequently saw seals playing and feeding while out kayaking. The kids loved that. The patio, grill and fireplace were nice to cook and relax by at night. The property worked well as a base for our Acadia National Park exploring. We did day-trips to Acadia each day; took about 40 minutes to get to ANP on Mt Desert Island and about 30 minutes to ANP on the Schoodic Peninsula. A few incidentals unfortunately arose during our stay but Tina was quick to respond and assist.

Perfect location to relax and reconnect as a family
Everything is as described in the listing and then some. The setting is gorgeous! My family of 4 with 2 teenagers enjoyed kayaking, watching the eagles and seals, cooking some meals in the very accommodating kitchen (we had everything we needed in dishes and cookware), and hiking nearby Acadia and the Schoodic Peninsula. The host let us know about Schoodic Beach which is stunning, not crowded at all and a beautiful sandy/gravel spot to swim. Note that it's about 1/2 mile easy hike to beach from the parking lot. We also loved eating out in Ellsworth (Airline Brewery, Morton's Ice Cream, Srendib, Zeppa's Pizza--all delicious!) and Musquito Harbor Brewing in Winter Harbor near Schoodic--a much less crowded part of Acadia. The house was clean and welcoming, the setting stunning, and it was a terrific week for relaxing and spending time together. Thank you for such a lovely vacation spot!

Lovely cottage
Great location by the bay, the whole family enjoyed it very much. Kayaking is a must, the lobster pot kit and the outdoor kitchen / fireplace is a nice setup for the perfect Maine lobster dinner. Clean and comfy, Tina was very helpful and answered our questions quickly.

The Castle on the Bay was a beautiful oasis. Nestled in a lush forest, it is a destination itself. Sit back and enjoy the view and the wildlife. Outdoor kitchen and kayaks are added treats.
Convenient to Bar Harbor, Acadia and many other sites.

A piece of heaven
We have stayed here a number of times and we are never disappointed. The whole family can kayak or canoe, the kids are so excited when harbor seals pop their heads out of the water, eagles flew by or landed in the trees almost every day, it is close to Acadia National Park and BarHarbor. A wonderful experience and many memories made here.

My Happy Place
This cottage is close to some of the most beautiful areas in Maine. We love going kayaking as a family on the bay. Our grandsons always want to go back. They even love shopping in Bar Harbor. They love it at the cottage. Tina is so accommodating and easy to work with. The cottage is always spotless and well stocked. This is my happy place.

Underrated property
Excellent host, quick / instant to communicate via texts, property is nicer than pictures indicate, even the TV has been updated; a bit of a drive to Acadia, but totally manageable. It was great to come back and relax in total privacy by the outdoor fireplace, go kayaking, and relax in a nice living room with wall to wall windows. The only minor issue we encountered were fruit flies already there when we arrived, but it's not something the host could control. Overall, an amazing stay.

A great home!
This property is wonderful. It has everything you need plus the surroundings just make it exponentially better! You can watch the seals from the deck swimming around. Enjoy the outdoor fireplace every night. My family and I have zero complaints. The pictures on VRBO do not do it justice. It’s so peaceful and relaxing. I hope we are able to come back again!

Beautiful cottage by the bay.
This was our first trip to Maine. The location of the property was great. Close to Acadia but private. We loved the cabin and land. We saw bald eagles in the trees on the property. The owner of the property is prompt to answering messages and kept in touch with us to make sure are stay was great. She had s’mores supplies in the fridge for us to enjoy. We plan on goi g back to Maine again and we will definitely stay here.

Great location with lots of privacy
We had an excellent time and were able to have family come by to visit. There was plenty of parking. It was good for all of us to unwind and not have wi-fi. We made s’mores, some went out in kayaks & others in canoe. There were seals sunning in the bay. We visited Acadia more than once and went to Schoodic Point. We ate lobsters at Union River Lobster Pot in Ellsworth.

Heaven on Earth
This was our first visit to Maine for my husband and I and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. This property is centrally located to a number of attractions yet far enough away from them to escape the crowds and enjoy nature. The cabin was just as described with everything we needed. The outdoor fireplace, grill, and steaming pots were awesome. We enjoyed steaming lobsters, grilling oysters, and making s'mores at night. We enjoyed a lobster fishing and seal watching tour from Bar Harbor. We also rented ebikes from Island Time who delivers the bikes to you at the Hull's Cove Visitor Center so you can jump right on the bike trails. We enjoyed a number of the local restaurants. I highly recommend getting your seafood for cooking yourself at the Winter Harbor Co-op. There were a ton of things to do and see, but also an amazing cabin to just do nothing at all. There was a guest book on the table when we arrived that had notes from previous guests. One family has been going there every year for 18 years now. I think that says a lot. I enjoyed reading that book for tips and ideas of things to do and to see all the different places people have come from to visit. Tina checked in via text periodically to make sure we had everything we needed and was quick to respond if needed. This was a great vacation and we look forward to future visits.

An absolutely stunning gem right on the bay
We had such a wonderful time at this property! The view is absolutely stunning and the sunsets are breathtaking. The home is very clean, bright and charmingly decorated. We had EVERYTHING we needed to enjoy a full week to be able to cook our own meals and have coffee on the deck. Tina was quick to respond to any inquiries, made our check-in/check-out process very easy and was readily available for any questions, but left us to enjoy her home without being overly nosey. I would stay here again in a heartbeat, and hope to again for many years to come.
