We just returned home from our trip to this beautiful oasis. Not only was the house gorgeous, but Karl was also a great host! He reached out to let us know the house would be ready early and to check if we needed an additional bed since there was 5 of us staying here. He also was super easy to get ahold of and shared some kid friendly activities in the area for us to check out. There are so many different kid-friendly hikes to go on, scenic drives, tide-pooling locations, beaches, etc in the surrounding areas (around an hour drive maximum). The wildlife around the house was so active. Right away our stay started with a bang. We had a seal who came to say hello almost everyday and one of the days, he even showed off his fish he caught. We also saw lots of crabs out on the rocks during low tide while exploring with our boys. There are deer absolutely everywhere on Pidgeon Hill road, we even saw 3 fawns on the last few days of our trip. The only thing I would put caution towards is if you have younger children. I have a 2 and a 4 year old who did great here, but this house is not set up for young kiddos. We knew going into it that it was not childproof nor necessarily considered 'safe'. However, if you go in knowing this and plan accordingly, it is still a great place to bring them. The scariest part with our boys was the rocks/ocean right next to the house, but they were never unsupervised or outside alone for this to be an issue.

This cabin was divine. Cozy but room enough — main bedroom plus a loft bedroom on the second floor. A generous main room plus kitchen, and a really nice smart TV for entertainment. Super clean and updated. The view … it’s all about the location and the view. Out the back door you are literally a few steps from the ocean — high tide and low tide, both spectacular for a walk out on the rocks. Every morning you wake up, pour yourself a cup of coffee, and just enjoy the tranquility. Watch the lobster boats go out, and the gulls and ducks, and listen to the waves lap at the rocks. Nearby, both the Milbridge House and Vazquez Mexican restaurants are really good, and the grocery store is only about 12 minutes away. Acadia is anywhere from 45 to 75 minutes away, depending on where you’re going in the park, I would absolutely stay here again, and recommend it to friends.

Karl was great and the cottage was fantastic; recently rebuilt and the attention to detail was top notch. The views were breathtaking. We plan to come back.
