You couldn’t ask for more. Anita and Pat have built and furnished this home beautifully. There are kayaks aplenty to explore the pond and visit the loons who occasionally break the otherwise peaceful setting with their eerie calls and warbling. Best of all, Anita and Pat are the perfect hosts, ever responsive to any and all needs. The big screened in porch is perfect for meals. Grilling was easy and firewood available for the kids and their s’mores.

House was very clean. Master bedroom was comfortable. Outdoor fire pit was great! A lot of the seating is firm and upright, (not overly comfortable). 8 of the advertised ‘sleeps 10’ beds were on the lower level with only one bath, no air conditioner and not great air flow. Bath towels stayed damp when hung overnight. Owners were very responsive when asked for a fan. But, overall the house was too small for our party of 8 adults. Looks bigger in pictures. ##### suzanne p. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin D.

It was great for all ages - we had two adults, a grandmother, a 7 year old and a 1 year old. The attention to detail in their home is truly impressive. Every corner of the house feels thoughtfully designed, right down to the built-in baby gate at the top of the stairs, which was perfect for keeping our 1-year-old safe. It’s clear they’ve considered all the little things to make guests feel comfortable and at ease. The house itself is modern, stylish, and equipped with all the amenities you could need for a relaxing getaway. We didn’t even realize that we briefly lost power because they have a generator that kicked in and worked seamlessly. It didn’t impact our stay at all! The views from the house are stunning, especially in the fall with the changing leaves. We loved taking the kayaks out on the serene pond—it’s such a peaceful and scenic location. It is close enough to visit Acadia, Bar Harbor and Bangor too! Overall, this was one of the best stays we’ve had, and we can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing escape in a beautiful setting. ##### Erin D. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith G.

Sep 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful, adventuresome getaway The house was awesome with a wonderful view of the surrounding woods, down the path and to the pond. We kayaked the first weekend, but had some bad weather most of the week. Looking at weather radar, we went to the coast, including Northeast Harbor for the gardens and Southwest Harbor for lobsters. We traveled to Lubec for a whale watching tour with about 15 people. Eagles soared over our heads, seals basked on the islands, we saw East Quoddy Head lighthouse from the water, then visited West Quoddy Head by land. The drive was long, but fun. We found blueberry pies and lobster daily. The weather meant we ate out more than in, but that suited us. Two of our party hiked local trails, and a steep hike from Schoodic Head near Winter Harbor. We enjoyed Fogtown brewery in Ellsworth under a tent sheltered from the rain. In the home, we sat out on the screen porch, walked to the lake to view the sunrise and had fun reconnecting with each other. Our hosts recommendations were welcomed and used for our daily forays into town. We certainly would have spent more time on kayaks and in the water. We were unable to take advantage of the fire pit and lobster pot because of the weather. Next time… ##### Carrie E.

The house is lovely, the hosts are lovely. We spent five wonderful weeks at Granite Cove. Enjoyed kayaking, swimming, eating meals on the spacious screened-in porch and most especially being visited and serenaded by the local loons! Anita and Pat were always available and helpful. We are returning! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 35 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joey R.

They were very helpful. The layout was good with a bedroom for each adult couple and the bunk room by two of the bedrooms. The screened in porch was awesome! Highly recommend ##### Joey R.
