West Point, a private beach front home & cabin on the quiet side of MDI.

Our family starting camping on this property almost 60 years ago. In the early 1960's, our parents converted the barn into a modern living space and added a cabin, with two bathrooms and laundry facilities. We have vacationed here every year since, and we still are finding new adventures! The kayaking and sailing among the nearby islands is unsurpassed. The nearby trails offer endless variety and gorgeous views for hiking and biking. On a foggy day, there is no cozier place to curl up with a book. We were children here, we brought our children here, and now we bring our grandchildren. This is a place that awakens curiosity in the natural world in for young and old alike. We love sharing this special place with guests.

This property offers spectacular ocean frontage, two semi private beaches, and a cozy rustic living space for up to eight people. It is perfect for families. Acadia National Park is close by. Bar Harbor is an easy drive. It is the perfect place from which to launch exceptional hiking, biking, boating expeditions. There are spectacular opportunities for beach combing, wildlife viewing, painting and photography. Even on a foggy Maine morning, it is the best place to read a good book, put together a puzzle, play board games, sing songs by the fire, or cook a giant feast.

This seven acre property with its two semi-private beaches is just a short drive to Acadia National Park - and yet it is on the quiet side of MDI and undisturbed by the throngs of tourists that descend on Bar Harbor. You can relax and recharge here. You can see as much of the Park as you want, and come home to your own paradise. If you want to experience the Maine Coast, you never have to leave the property. You can see fishing boats, yachts, and even schooners sail right past the barn, on their way up Bartlett's Narrows. You can watch seals and porpoises cavort. Eagles, egrets, loons and osprey are not uncommon. Deer and foxes are seen in the Spring and Fall. You can explore tidal pools, walk the beach, fish off the dock, and swim right from the property. On foggy days and cool evenings, work on a puzzle, play games, and sing songs in front of the fire, or read a good book. Feast on lobster, crab cakes, mussels and clams. Source them locally - at Hodgdon's Seafood, or get your lobster right off the boat (you have to time this carefully) at Bartletts Landing. You have to see it to experience the magic!
