Sweet retreat in the heart of MDI

Here in the woods at the center of Mount Desert Island you can hear the peepers in a nearby frog pond and the hermit thrush singing in the trees. This property provides a comfortable, private, and convenient launching pad for exploring Acadia and eastern Maine. Close to Acadia's trail heads, lakes, and carriage roads, the house is less than 20 minutes from Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Southwest Harbor, and Ellsworth. Relax in the big hammock, walk to the nearby Kitteridge Brook Forest trails, or play bocce and enjoy the fire pit. At night, take in the truly dark skies and be dazzled by the Milky Way!

The first floor of the house is open, with a living area, dining area that seats up to eight, and fully equipped kitchen. The large sofa is cozy for watching TV or movies and opens up to a comfortable queen bed. Upstairs are two bedrooms, one with a queen and one with a full-size bed, bathroom, and bonus room under the eaves with a daybed for reading or napping. This is a solid, fully insulated house, with heat for chilly days or evenings. Air conditioning in the larger bedroom and excellent air circulation throughout the house means you'll be comfortable on the few Maine summer days when you need cooling.
