I can't say enough good things about this cottage, or how homey it feels. Having grown up with family cabins in the northwoods of Wisconsin, this place immediately felt like home. Bob and his family obviously love the place, and it's in impeccable shape. It also gives the impression of being loved and shared, rather than being used as an investment property....meaning the house feels warm and welcoming and real, rather than stripped of all personal details like most vacation rentals are. In my eyes that's a huge plus. I only wish we lived closer so we could stay here every summer.We used this as our home base to explore Acadia, both the island and mainland portions. The drive to the Acadia loop is about an hour, but the Schoodic portion is very close. We enjoyed both immensely. Bob's recommendation of the Raven's Nest overlook was fantastic, and we were thrilled with the crashing waves at Schoodic Point.The house is set up marvelously, and you don't need to bring every little thing with you-- basics like cooking spray, spices, salt/pepper, shampoo/conditioner, laundry detergent, ice trays etc. were all there, and the fridge was spotless and empty (except for the hummingbird food, which our teens loved using in the hummingbird feeder). There are plenty of pots and pans and cooking utensils, though I would recommend a new nonstick pan or two. That's seriously the only thing! Everything here was absolutely ideal...a dream stay, honestly. Thank you for sharing it with us.
