If you want the real Maine experience this is it. The Boathouse sits on the rocky coast of Frenchman Bay with views of Acadia Nation Park Schoodic and Mark Island. A wall of windows in the modern farmhouse open concept living area brings the outside in. Enjoy meals on the beautiful handmade farmhouse table. Relax to the lapping of waves on the shore. Watch the Lobster Boats as they pull their traps. Rent a bike to explore the bike trails in Acadia National Park Schoodic. The entrance is just two miles from the Boathouse. Hiking in the park or walking to shops and restaurants, the sight and smell of the ocean is all around you.
Lovely spot directly on the water where you can watch the lobster boats and the Bar Harbor ferry. Easy and short walk to the small downtown area with several restaurants, a playhouse, grocery store and a 5&10 variety store. Extremely quiet neighborhood.
A perfect getaway in a beautiful, serene setting for my 60th birthday. The Boathouse is such a beautiful home and being right on the water adds the perfect touch.
This cottage was just a perfect place to spend a peaceful week at the Bold Coast. Very comfortable and quiet, everything we needed to relax.
We'll be back!
The Boathouse is beautifully designed and very clean. After a day of hiking or sightseeing, I found the view and sound of the water calming and relaxing. I would love to stay here again someday.
The boathouse is perfectly located and beautifully furnished. The management and host for this property is the most excellent Iâve experienced with a VRBO. Most importantly the entire two weeks were peaceful and quiet even tho other properties were nearby. Appliances are top of the line and the small kitchen was perfectly adequate. I will stay again when in Winter Harbor.
What a wonder/ beautiful place to stay. As advertised only feet from the waterâs edge. The downstairs bedroom with queen bed was comfortable. The loft with king bed could be a challenge for some (ship ladder to get up and down). Over all the place was very clean, well appointed and wonderfully decorated. All that and a spectacular view. Hope to return in the future.
The boathouse is cozy and beautifully decorated. We could sit inside and with windows open hear the waves ripple up and see lobster boats and harvesting in action just outside. The area is low key and convenient to Acadia.
We really enjoyed our stay at the boat house. It is in a great location. We could walk to all of the local activities. It is close to the Schoodic Point, ferry to Bar Harbor and golf club. We really like the renovation details of the boat house. This is our second stay and hope to return next year.
Location was great for us - looking east across harbor. Sunrise & moon rising every day.
Not on busy road - harbor frontage. We were very comfortable here.
We had a great time exploring Acadia and surrounding areas. The boat house was very nice. Neighborhood very quiet. Bed very comfortable. Would love to return again
