We could not have found a better place to experience the “real” coastal Maine. The house itself was cozy and well-appointed, with comfy beds, a terrific cook’s kitchen and a fabulous covered porch overlooking the water and – importantly – the Strout’s lobster boat and dock right across the street! We enjoyed a day in Bar Harbor – about an hour away – but also had time to explore some of the charming and less crowded hamlets nearby (Winter Harbor was a favorite). The sight of the sun rising over Petit Manan Bay, the moonlight in the evening, and the fog rolling in and out along with the tides created some unforgettable viewing. We also had a chance to explore the Wildlife Refuge only a few hundred yards from the house. By far our favorite part was connecting with Brian, who called us to come across the street when the catch was in so we could pick out our lobsters for an incredible meal. We had no luck using the satellite TV service, but we didn't really mind - we were able to log in to our own apps on the smart TV. Our stay in Steuben was a wonderful experience – one we will be happy to repeat!

Wi-Fi was extremely slow or useless. Description of property was misleading for the high cost which made us disappointed. A call to the owner for a simple problem was dismissed without satisfaction. Considering the high cost of the property the expectations of amenities were not met. No private bathrooms.

The property was really nice and taken care of. It had eveything you would need to stay there. The house is big enough for several people and is dog friendly. The views are wonderful there as well. Lots of wildlife deer turkey's and ect. Also not far from Acardia National Park and Bar Harbor. There are plenty of things to do and see.

The property is very well taken care of and very spacious. Several places to sit and relax while listening to the water. There is not AC but we didn’t miss it. We opened all the windows and were comfortable. People in this area are quiet and friendly. Would recommend as we would stay again. Make sure you have everything you need before you get to the house. No stores near by for a quick trip.

The home was super well equipped! Such an amazing kitchen, and there was nothing you could have wanted that wasn't already there. The view was spectacular! We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on the porch watching the water. The beds were super comfortable and the whole experience was just so relaxing!

Great house with wonderful local history. Nice, quiet place to come back to each evening after busy days in Acadia. Very comfortable for a family of 5. Great kitchen for cooking if you plan ahead with the shopping. Hosts quick to respond with questions/concerns.
