Wonderful home. Great weekend getaway

This cute secluded cottage has everything: gorgeous views, screened in porches, comfortable seating and a very well appointed kitchen with everything you might need. Yet it has kept a rustic feel. We saw bald eagles and seals right from the cottage. Lots of things to do in the area if you are a nature lover. The only disappointment was missing the puffins. They leave mid-August, so if you want to see them (Acadia Puffin Cruise is 5 minutes from cottage), plan accordingly. Karl's suggestions about food and activities were very helpful too. And dog friendly to boot!

Our stay was absolutely everything we hoped for. To start, the owner was absolutely wonderful with answering any questions we had before, during and after our stay- he honestly went above and beyond! We were nervous as this was our first ever week long rental - but it was even better than the pictures, beautiful, clean, and the location was amazing! Sunrise every morning was gorgeous- we saw seals and had little crabs in the tide pools that were so much fun to watch. So much to do nearby, that we didn’t even make it to Acadia! We explored the nature reserves and hiking and food all locally and it was perfect. Would highly recommend to anyone of any age looking for a calm and relaxing ocean side retreat!

My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Karl’s serene and tranquil cabin on the water, and it was an absolute dream! Nestled in lush greenery and perched on rock overlooking the calm bay waters, the location couldn’t have been more perfect for nature lovers like ourselves. We awoke each morning to an ocean completely shrouded in fog, with the only sounds coming from the gentle lull of lobster boats passing by, just out of view. The cabin itself was a cozy haven with all the amenities one could need for their Maine getaway. It exuded rustic charm with just the perfect amount of space inside and out. Each day we steamed clams, crabs and lobsters that were purchased from the local lobster pound. Karl had several enormous pots and a stand-alone burner that allowed us to make everything outdoors before feasting at the picnic table on a small patch of grass between the house and rocks. There was no sense of having neighbors nearby. Never did we hear them, nor could we see them through the woods that separated the houses. There was so much to do nearby. Within five minutes drive are three wonderful hiking trails. While hiking there we spotted many deer and even a mink, as well as seals swimming offshore. The trails were lined with delicious wild blueberries. Thirty minutes away was the Schoodic side of Acadia, which was our personal favorite area of the park. There were very few people, and the trails were among the most beautiful we’ve seen.

Peaceful quiet lovely place right on the bay, away from any crowds, just local fishermen and eagles, ospreys, etc. Really just perfect.

The cottage was exactly what was described. It was rustic and charming. The view was absolutely beautiful! Walked out the back door to sit with our feet in the water and watch the boats, otters and loons go by. So peaceful. Our property manager was super nice and very attentive.
