Fantastisk utsikt över havet av Frenchman Bay

My parents started vacationing at Baycliff over 50 years ago. Back then, we’d drive up from New Jersey 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.

Baycliff is about viewing nature from the comfort of a beautiful home. A wall of windows across the front of the house gives you a front row seat to nature unfolding in all its splendor. The large windows and skylights let you witness the changing character of Frenchman Bay. Watch amazing sunrises and sunsets, on a sunny day, the clouds racing across the sky, on an moody overcast day, the approach of a storm. It's a never-ending story of change.

The beach also changes its character with the ebb and flow of the tide. There are boulders that are exposed during low tide along with the seaweed giving the beach a feeling of an ocean based meditation garden.

There is a balcony on the house along with a deck on the actual cliff with a picnic bench.
Acadia National Park Headquarters are only 2.5 miles away and Bar Harbor is only five miles.
