“Escape” to a Waterfront Artist’s Home on Secluded Evergreen Point, Taunton Bay
About this house rental
Nestled in Sullivan, this attractive house for $295 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. This cedar and granite retreat sits on a point 25’ from the water and offers tremendous bay views, secluded canoeing/kayaking, and quick access to Acadia or Schoodic. Originally built as an artist’s hideaway on the unique protected waters of Taunton Bay, Escape is a perfect refuge for those looking to enjoy the water, explore the islands and shores, or lounge on the massive deck. “Escape” is a modern, spacious vacation retreat with 2BR and a large loft, 3Baths and a large wraparound deck that steps down to the granite grottos of Taunton Bay. The downstairs flooring and carpeting have just been redone. A spacious master suite offers great bay views from every window and a pink granite fireplace. The main kitchen is open and well appointed with stainless appliances and a rough granite half wall separating it from the dining and living rooms. The loft has three beds, great views and a game area for the children. A small second bedroom, with views, is situated on the main level adjacent to a bath/laundry room. Two canoes and a kayak are available for exploring the bay and the mussel bed. The home provides WiFi, BBQ, washer/dryer and a TV/DVD. This quiet and secluded location is perfect for relaxing on the deck or the shore and within 30 minutes drive to Acadia or Schoodic Point. Your family will love playing in the calm water on the cove, exploring the bay and the marine life around the mussel beds and, of course, listening to the loons.

My son and I had a wonderful week long stay at this beautiful, comfortable and quiet home right on the water. The herons, sea ducks and gulls fly close as they go around the point making it a superb location for viewing the local wildlife from either inside or outside of the home. In addition, we heard loon calls in the morning and evening on most days.
We had an initial problem with contacting the owner to get the necessary information to check into the home. The owner called us back as soon as he could, and then compensated us for the inconvenience resolving the issue to our complete satisfaction. We would stay here again in a heartbeat anytime we come back to this area. Highly recommended!

We LOVED this unique and lovely home perched above the water in a beautiful, quiet, peaceful area. It is immaculately clean, has everything one needs to be comfortable in every way, and is a place we'd love to return to when we visit the area again. The owner is kind and provides all kinds of useful, interesting information about the area. As said above, book it.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Escape. It was quite spacious for our family of six and had a gorgeous backyard. Love to spend more time at the Escape on our future visits to Acadia NP and Mt. Desert Island. The main living area has been recently updated and loved the amount of space we had including the convenience of cooking in the open kitchen.

Mark's home was exactly as described. Also, Mark was very attentive to any issues that arised. The coffee maker at the cabin was not working our first morning there, but he got us new one. Our kids loved being on the water and finding creatures everyday. And the canoes were an added bonus. We would highly recommend Mark's cabin to anyone looking for a quiet time on the Bay.

We had a wonderful stay. We hiked in Acadia, biked at Schoodic, and went sailing. It was a perfect location to explore the area.
5.0
This property lived up to our expectations and far, far beyond. The main draw was the feeling of seclusion and peace and quiet, which it delivered in spades. The view was amazing and the large windows allowed us to fully enjoy it even when it was a bit too chilly to be on the deck. Having our morning coffee and evening tea while looking out at the bay was like a dream.
The house had every amenity we could possibly think of and was so comfortable. The new carpeting they put in this year was nice and plush. We enjoyed use of the canoe and made several meals easily with everything the kitchen was equipped with and we could have easily done anything we wanted with the many kitchen gadgets and pots and pans provided.
It was an easy drive the large chain grocery stores and Walmart. The drive to Acadia was about 30-35 minutes and also very easy. There were plenty of eating options closer than Bar Harbor so the location worked out very well!
It was an absolute favorite stay of ours!

Honestly, after spending a week at this property I could see myself living in Maine. Other than the wood stove being inoperable this place was perfect. The costal wildlife we were able to experience was wonderful. We plan on returning to this property as soon as we are able.

The view from the deck is incredible. Had a couple of dsays of rain but the wall of windows facing the bay still left us with wonderful views.

This was our third year at Escape and we are already looking forward to our next stay. The house is great, the location is so quiet and peaceful and the sunsets off of the back deck are our favorite time of day. Lots to do with Acadia and Bar Harbor close by or you can just sit on the rocks and enjoy the beautiful scenery!

Two friends on a trip with our boys and their buddy as a graduation gift to them. We had so much fun! They loved the canoes and swimming in the cove at high tide. Side trips to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and Schoodic were great, but we mostly enjoyed sitting in the 2 chairs below the deck, watching wildlife with the binoculars. The sunsets were spectacular! We saw 2 seals at the same time on our last day here. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay on the water in beautiful Maine!!

We loved this quiet property that provides beautiful views, spacious rooms, and a well equipped kitchen. We had fun using the canoes for exploring the cove. The drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor is easy, and worth the peace and quiet when you get back to the Escape. We would highly recommend this home and the owners!!

Everything about Mark’s home was incredible!!!! We throughly enjoyed our stay.
Mark’s home and property was amazing! The sunrise views from the deck were gorgeous. My kids loved playing on the rocks in the water and catching crabs and periwinkles. The canoes and kayak were an added bonus and we even saw a seal while out on the kayak. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. We loved everything about our stay at Escape.

Perfect location to visit Acadia NP and Down East
Spacious home set in the woods right on the water of Taunton Bay, with quick access to Bar Harbor/Acadia NP (40 min) or Schoodic Peninsula (10 min). Ellsworth is only 10-15 minutes down the road and has all you need—grocery stores, etc. The owner communicates quickly, and gave us a ton of information about how to best enjoy our time. The house is extremely well provisioned —canoe/kayaks/bedding/books/games and a GREAT kitchen with everything one needs to cook. The large porch is perfect for watching loons and water. The master bedroom is huge with a large walk-in closet and spacious full bath, good shower with lots of hot water. The second bedroom is quite small, as is the second bathroom (very small shower). There is a large laundry/utility room that also has a toilet/shower. The living area is huge with big sky lights—the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the furniture is pretty basic (molded plastic kitchen chairs) and the couch is about 6 inches off the floor and difficult for older folks to get in and out of (and not at all comfy to sit on). Upstairs is a loft with two double beds—pretty dark, not much lighting. The house is perfect for a family. The Down East Sunrise trail is very close to the house (by car) for biking/walking/birding. We had a lovely stay and would definitely stay here again.

True escape
We truly enjoyed the peacefulness of this home. The views from the deck were priceless, even on a rainy day. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. The living room furniture was a little lower than we're accustomed to but still comfortable. We enjoyed going into Bar Harbor and hiking Cadillac Mountain but enjoyed coming "home" to "Escape"!

Perfect for a family that likes the outdoors
The layout and master bedroom are great but the other accommodations are definitely a step or two below. Not uncomfortable, juSt not at the same level.
Outdoor furniture and fittings could also use some upgrading. However, the location is spectacular and access to restaurants, hiking trails and beautiful scenery is first class.

This was our second time staying at this gorgeous home and property and we will be back. The location is so beautiful and quiet and serene. It is a perfect place to relax and read a book. The location 30 minutes. from Acadia is ideal should you want to go for a walk or a hike. You can do a lot or nothing and have the perfect vacation!

We stayed at 'Escape' for 6 nights and loved everything about it! The beauty and the quiet were amazing. It was fairly close to a lot (45 minutes to Bar Harbor and Acadia) Ellsworth had all you could need for grocery stores and that was about 10-15 minute drive. Beds were comfy. Truly felt like a home! Don't hesitate to stay here!
