About this house rental
Slate House is a spectacular and unique post-and-beam artist's home, located in a private wooded setting just around the corner from the picturesque village of Bernard, where the town dock and local favorite restaurant Thurston's Lobster Pound is located. The colorful and comfortable interior has a large, open living area upstairs, along with a kitchen equipped for the gourmet cook, a cozy master bedroom/bathroom with a beautiful tiled shower, and a deck outside the bedroom door. The artist owner, who lives on the property and works in her studio here as well, maintains an extensive landscaped garden as well as a small orchard and vegetable gardens - guests are welcome to roam! The living room and bedroom look out onto a small, peaceful perennial garden and the woods beyond.
This is a perfect home for relaxing in a quiet, out-of-the way spot, yet close to the village of Southwest Harbor (4 miles) with all of its amenities.
Longer term rentals are possible, feel free to discuss options. A 35% deposit is requested to secure a rental, refundable up to 45 days in advance of the rental; after that I am happy to refund your deposit if I am able to re-rent the property.

We loved our stay at Slate House - a beautiful custom-built home with amazing eclectic art and decor. The house was spotless and well-appointed - very cool industrial kitchen! We enjoyed slow mornings on the patio out back enjoying the quiet scenery, but the house is also very convenient to all points on Mount Desert Island. Cherie is a fantastic host - excellent communication, thoughtful and accommodating, and just plain fun to talk to.

Tucked the woods on the “quiet side” of the island. This cottage has so much lovingly crafted detail. Ideal for two people, but can be for four. The second bedroom and bath are in the walk-out lower level. Super dog friendly, but the owner requests that dogs be leashed on the property to protect her extensive gardening and that they stay off the furniture. The decor is eclectic and artistic and the place has a very full shelf of books to choose from. If you bring your dog, be sure to check out Little Long Lake park. We all loved it!

Initially disappointed. Foul musty odor upon entrance. Not air conditioned/ wasn’t aware of this. Owner acknowledged having sump pump problems and quickly got this repaired. Had problems w gas stove and no use of oven but able to make it work. House was quaint but lower bedroom had spiders I had to kill and moldy shower curtain. Owner was very nice. Had to go out to buy bounce sheets and candles to help house smell better. Would look for different home to stay in if would return.
