Away from the hustle and bustle

After a long day of sight seeing and boat tours it’s a great place to get home to. Great views, close enough to Ellsworth to get all the food and supplies you need. Only thing to improve are the beds. They are comfy but you roll to the middle..

Maine Getaway

After a 12 hour drive, it was such a relief to arrive at this lovely property. The cabin included all of the necessary essentials and we woke up to the most fabulous waterfront view! The property is tucked into the woods and very peacefully secluded. We enjoyed about a 40 minute scenic drive to Bar Harbour, as well as Acadia National Park on a daily basis.We would definitely stay there again!!!

Frenchman Bay Getaway❤️

There were 4 adults that stayed at this wonderful place and there was plenty of room for us all. The cottage was just perfect in every way. (5 stars for cleanliness, 5 stars for comfort, 5 stars for location, 5 stars for everything else too!). The beds were very comfortable, bathrooms were so clean. The kitchen had everything needed from the coffee pot in the morning to the lobster pot at night. The views from the deck were beautiful every moment of the day. The cottage is located in between the scoodic peninsula and Acadia, and we were able to enjoy so much including some hidden gems. This was our 2nd time to stay here and we will be back.

Nice place to Disconnect from the world

Very Nice! Peaceful and great scenery! Easy access to Acadia National Parks, our son who is 11 loved exploring along the water and in the woods. Lots of critters to find!. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your cabin! It was amazing!

Beautiful and quiet seclusion.

The cabin offered a secluded getaway with a beautiful view. It was about 45 minutes from Bar Harbor and about 25 minutes to the Schoodic Peninsula. It was rustic but very clean, comfortable, and quaint. We shared it with another couple and spent most of our time there sitting in front of the large windows enjoying the view. We would definitely stay there again.

Great family vacation

This was such a nice place to get away from all the crowds at Acadia. It was peaceful and so relaxing. We saw lots of wildlife: eagle, herons, turkeys, deer, seals, an eel and many, many kinds of birds. The kids loved playing in the cove and finding all the natural treasures that it offered. The house was clean and comfortable. This was perfect for our family.

Peaceful cottage to watch tide and birds.

We enjoyed our stay in Susan's cottage on Frenchman Bay very much. Peaceful, quiet, close to Choodic Point and a wonderful place to slow life down. We were visited by loons and a bald eagle along with many gulls. Loons calling is one of my favorire sounds. Plus, the leaves were beautiful to close out the summer. Highly recommend this cottage as a great get away place.

A peaceful dream house

What a perfect place to relax and enjoy this area! This home was immaculate and had everything you could need for a perfect Maine vacation. You could never leave the house and be content with the beautiful view from the deck. Everything Acadia has to offer is a short drive away. Susan was a caring host and checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. I enjoyed chating with her and learning the history of this beautiful Maine home.

Wonderful and Quiet Location

We knew we picked the right place when we arrived and saw the big picture window looking I er the water. Communication with proper owner was quick and efficient. Though roomy, there are many interesting items around the spacious cabin. The porch was an added bonus that not only provided a stunning view of the water, but the night sky. Rooms spacious and well-organized. Would definitely rent again.

Comfortable, beautiful view

The house was very comfortable and well equipped. A small touch but Kleenex in every room was much appreciated. We enjoyed watching the tide go in and out. It was convent to Acadia National park and Bar Harbor. Would definitely recommend it for a stay in the area. We travel and have rented houses in several places but this is the first time we have had an owner call to check that we arrived safely. Thank you Susan.

Honeymoon getaway

Though we had a issue at the start, the owner and area manager were right on the spot and fixed it asap. They were very understanding and made it right. The rest of our 4 night stay was perfect. The location is outstanding, comfortable, amazing views. Quiet. Just a excellent time. They provide a lot of things for you and we will be looking forward to going back again.

Authentic Maine Experience

This was our second visit and we found it just as wonderful as as our first! You feel like you are staying in a nature preserve. Where else can you get a private 1/4 mile drive through a forest to a comfortable cabin on the water. Close enough, but not too close, to restaurants and grocery stores. Very comfortable. Good kitchen. Very clean. Bring your binoculars. We spotted tha bald eagles. Hope to return.

Magical and peaceful retreat!

This was an absolutely magical and peaceful retreat. We were surrounded by nature and serenity. There are birds everywhere and it is a joy to watch them soaring around the bay. There is so much history with this property and care and respect for the land really shines through. The house is impeccably clean and well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We were able to sleep peacefully uninterrupted by noise and feel restored from our stay. I was genuinely sad to leave! If you are looking for a place to stay away from the hustle and bustle this is the place for you. Thank you for a magnificent visit to Maine!

Peaceful family getaway!

We stayed at the ocean cottage as a base to explore Acadia National Park and surrounding areas. The cottage was so peaceful and a wonderful break from the hustle and bustle of the national park. We all enjoyed the wildlife viewed from the deck or the living room window. My favorite was listening to the bald eagles chatter in the mornings and watching them fly past or perch out on the rocks at low tide. During high tide we had a seal that frequented the cove as well. The cottage had everything that we needed for our stay (the washer and dryer was a huge plus!) and a wealth of information on things to do in the area. It is a bit of a drive into Desert Island, but well positioned to explore the Schoodic Peninsula. Would definitely stay again if we make it back to the area!
