This is the second time I have stayed here, and I have enjoyed it both times! Kevin is a fantastic host! The house is charming, and spacious, with loads of work space (these have been working trips) and reliable, fast internet. The kitchen, which is a cooks delight, and the woodstove in the living room are highlights for me. The property and location are gorgeous with deer regularly visiting the back yard. I appreciated the proximity to the Tinder Hearth bakery, the Brooksvile library, and Buck's Harbor Market. And Blue Hill, complete with everything from a hospital to restaurants to large grocery and hardware stores is only a 15-20 minute drive away.

The property is beautiful, with a stunning location. We visited in the fall and the colours were outstanding. The house and property were exactly as pictured. The house has a true "at home" feeling; cozy and beautifully decorated, but also spacious, affording us a separate work space from eating and living space, which was lovely. The host was a great communicator and everything about the stay was smooth and easy.

Cute older home.eclectic furniture. Reminded me of a cape cod cottage.had lots of relevant shore related eqipment and a super stockedki

Knew the property was in the country and I liked that entire setup. At the end of Ferry Road there is access to the coast line. We found our way from Bar Harbor to Belfast and all points in between. Everything is within an hours drive. Lots of hikes, farmers markets, county fairs, wild flowers, and apples to be picked. The area is beautiful. Recommend: (Blue Hill, Stonington, Castine, Belfast), Tender Hearth, Bagaduce Lunch - closes Labor Day, Holbrook Sanctuary, farmers market in Belfast on Saturday, Blue Hill Fair, private garden adjacent to First Baptist in Blue Hill, Bar Harbor was way too busy for our liking. Hiked Belfast Rail Trail, Hills to Sea Trail, Blue Hill Mountain Trail and several others. Roads don't really allow bikes as too narrow and winding. Just like any place there were a few issues. Trash was left on curb for a Saturday AM pickup which didn't happen. Animals started to work their way into it before I brought it back inside on Tuesday (including clean-up). Maine is clean and I wanted to keep it that way but didn't seem like I should have to manage trash from the previous renters. Not a listing of things to do locally inside the house. We stayed busy up and down the coast on our own but very little in terms of feedback from prior renters. I saw about 10 mice during the stay. It is a county property and so was somewhat expected. They don't have an easy place to sit outside and enjoy the sunsets. We tried to make due best we could. I did like the area well enough to want to come back to Maine in 2022. The owner, Kevin, was upfront about the mice and exterminator and did answer all of my texts very quickly.
