北海岸のリラックスコテージ 無人島

My parents started vacationing at Baycliff over 50 years ago. Back then, we’d drive up from New Jersey (Metuchen, Turnpike exit 10) and spend two weeks here. I have fond memories of deep-sea fishing, hiking, sightseeing, and other touristy activities, but my favorite was skipping rocks into the sea—quite a challenge with waves, wind, and seaweed!
In 1973, the property went up for sale, and my dad immediately bought it. We began staying for a month at a time in the cottage, which wasn’t much larger than the cabins back then. One year, we brought all seven of our cats and a raccoon I was fostering! For over 40 years now, we’ve been renting out the two cabins. The picture above is of me, my two daughters, and my mom. Until 2019, during the summer months, mom would stay at Baycliff and take care of the cabins and guests.
Mount Desert Island offers so many attractions. The carriage roads are perfect for cycling, the hiking trails are spectacular, and if you're into birding, we have segulls, loons, hummingbirds and warblers - and on occasion an osprey or bald eagle! Bar Harbor and the surrounding areas also boast some excellent restaurants. This truly is a special place.

There is a communal deck with a picnic bench on the cliff, where you can witness the ever-changing character of Frenchman Bay. Enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets; on sunny days, watch the clouds race across the sky, while on moody, overcast days, observe the approach of a storm. It's a captivating story of nature's transformations.

The beach also shifts with the ebb and flow of the tide, exposing boulders and seaweed at low tide, creating a tranquil, ocean-inspired meditation garden.
