This was our very first visit to Maine and it was simply outstanding. We were traveling with myself, my husband and our two sons (9 and 12 years old). The house was simply perfect, the boys had their privacy upstairs, the location was amazing and the view was exceptional!!! We loved just having morning coffee on the rocks and letting the boys explore the rocks.
We loved the location of the house because it was "off the beaten path" it was about a 45 minute easy drive to Bar Harbor and you enjoy the less congestion and more "true" Maine environment.
We hiked in Acadia, did the horse drawn carriage ride, whale watching tour, visited Quoddy Head, ME, relaxed at the house, went to antique stores. You have to go to Schoodic Point, it was amazing.
We always like to try local restaurant on vacation and we found some wonderful spots, our favorites were: Fisherman's Galley (casual but wonderful food, we went here a few times), The Pickled Wrinkle (Bar type food, but might have been our favorite place) Bunker's Wharf was wonderful too!!!!
You won't regret renting this house, it has everything you might need, quite and relaxing location, and easy to find. Sally was a peach to work with, everything was extremely smooth and easy.
