Returning to Maine, we wanted a comfortable home base from which to explore. We loved the rustic charm of this house - it had all the comforts and modern amenities we needed, while feeling cozy and relaxed. It felt like an “old soul” with “deep wisdom.” We are eager to imagine a return to the area and this house.

I loved everything about this home, the road it's on and the surrounding area. Close enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia to make day trips easy, yet at the end of the day you get to escape the crowds and come back to a place so peaceful and inviting that you feel like you really have come home. From the country kitchen, the comfortable bedrooms, the large, yet cozy, living room, the owners have created a space so charming I never wanted to leave. The home is beautifully decorated. I felt like I had stepped back in time, you could feel the history, the generations who lived there and all the love that the owners have put into maintaining that feeling. The fenced in yard and private courtyard were a huge bonus. Our dog was in heaven. The only minor inconvenience was that there was no WIFI when we arrived due to a power outage from a storm that passed through the day before. In order to get back on line in a timely fashion the owner asked us to buy a router and he will reimburse us. This was unfamiliar territory for all of us, as this had never happened to him or us. We did manage to purchase a router and get WIFI back, though I would rather not have spent vacation time doing this. But storms happen and it was nobody's fault. The rest of our time in Maine was wonderful and this home was the perfect place to return to after a day of adventuring around the area.

We stayed with our adult children and were thrilled to wake up each morning in the gracious and casually beautiful Cape Cod house with lots of light and views of Maine typography, pine trees, fields, and very pretty flowers. There was a sense of privacy and peacefulness as well as spaciousness for each of us to spread out to talk, to read, to cook and to eat. The kitchen was excellent for cooking and shared meals. We hope to return. The house is only a few minutes drive from Frenchman’s Bay. There are trails for hiking just off Punkinville Road which is used by high school track students. Being able to visit with dear friends who who live nearby made the visit perfect.

The owners of this property have invested a lot of thought and care in their ongoing efforts to restore this house. The kitchen was well appointed, the linens good ones and garden pleasant. We throughly enjoyed our stay.

My husband and I are both biologists and we loved this house and yard. The fencing provided a secure area for our midsized dog and she loved it. We normally stay on the quiet side of Acadia but loved the opportunity to explore the Schoodic and the local trails at this location. The hosts were great at responding quickly! We would definitely return to this quiet, homey house!

We could not have been happy with Steven's house. It was even better than pictured, if that's possible. The house was clean, beautifully decorated, with a well stocked kitchen. As writers, we wanted proximity to Acadia without the crowds, and this place was just the ticket! We thoroughly enjoyed our days hiking and writing, and then making dinner and building a fire in the cozy wood stove on chilly autumn evenings. Our Norwich Terrier was also in heaven: there is a lovely 2 mile loop in the Nature Preserve down the street, and a whole flock of wild turkeys made twice daily appearances. We would rent this house again in a heartbeat! As other reviewers mentioned, the Dunbar Store is great for quick groceries. The local wine shop has limited hours: we took advantage of days in Acadia/Bar Harbor to get more substantial groceries at the Hannaford, and stock up at the wine shop in town.

Charming, historic yet comfortable house in Sullivan Maine provided us with the perfect bolthole to rest and relax after exploring the many natural wonders of Down East. Our doggie loved it too! Be sure to visit the Dunbar grocery store for fresh old fashioned donuts in the morning and a vaviety of provisions (lobsters too!) for a charming yet unpretentious local experience.
