Wonderful property!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful property in mid-August. Our teenage boys loved the bunkhouse and the loft spaces. The kitchen has everything you could need or want to make meals at home. It is very peaceful and secluded, despite being minutes from Southwest Harbor. We loved having the windows open. Between the trees and water, the house was always cool. We could not get the wifi to work but that was a minor inconvenience for us. The gravel road to the house is narrow (and steep on one hill) but our rented Pacifica minivan had no trouble at all.

Relaxing

This place was amazing! Newer property that’s well maintained. The location is great, very secluded but not out of the way. Fishing from the dock was a blast. The only issue was not having the internet. The owner attempted to get it fix but it never worked. My wife was planning on doing a little work but that was out of the question. To make matters worse the cell service was terrible too. There is no TV which if you could stream a little wouldn't be a issue. At times I didn't have enough cell service to play pandora. Other than that the place was perfect. A great place to relax.

What makes this property unique

The house is one of two family owned summer camps on a 23 acre parcel with 1800 feet of ocean front. The other house is lightly used by family and separated from this one. The property offers very unique privacy and quiet yet access to everything on MDI. We love coming home after a day in the park or the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor to relax away from the crowds.
