We had a wonderful time the house sits right on the ocean we watched the lobster boats go out every morning. The sunsets were beautiful. The house is just as described and Karen and Lynn were excellent hosts. Lynn even took us to see the wild blueberry fields and her camp. We watched their brother head out in his lobster boat and there was a lobster pound just behind the house. We were just between Bar Harbor and Eastport about 1 1/2 to each location

The place was very charming and the garden was beautiful. Bring some games and be ready to relax and spend some time with your family and friends. The town for us was remote and you had to drive a little bit for some stores, which is what we were looking for. The host was great to work with!

It was "as expected" b/c I expected the stay at the cottage to be wonderful, and it was! Karen and her two siblingswent out of their way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. The cottage, the garden, and the setting were just what the doctor ordered. It's a serene setting overlooking a fishing bay, so "rush hour traffic" was watching the lobster boats going in and out. Comfortable, quiet, picturesque and cozy - just what the doctor ordered!

Jonesport is right out at the end of the world--beautiful spot. We just wanted to stay put, not run around to see the area, but I am already familiar with Downeast Maine. The cottage is comfy, kitchen has everything, tv, nice deck for watching the lobster boats, and truly gorgeous gardens. Found a good take-out restaurant just over the bridge on Wass Island. Also a good full grocery store on the way inyo town. Very peaceful stay--didn't want to leave!

We had a wonderful time staying in this home! We were traveling with three kids and they loved the big backyard and porch. It does get a little buggy at night, but perfect in the morning and during the day. Georgia had wonderful suggestions for day trips and things to do in the area. Our favorite thing we did was buy lobsters literally down the road and have a feast on the back porch. We would definitely return!

We loved having enough space for 2 adults and 3 grown kids. We were easy driving distance to attractions but were away from crowds. Great place to enjoy the Maine coast.

If you are looking for a great Maine get-away, in a small, coastal town, you couldn't do better than this warm, and welcoming home. It has the history and charm of a historic home, with modern conveniences, like an updated kitchen, jetted garden tub in the upstairs bedroom. The porch overlooking the water was so relaxing. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated and comfortable. We had an amazing time and Georgia gave us wonderful ideas of places to visit and areas to explore that made the trip even better than we'd hoped for.

We had a wonderful time in Maine and our stay in Georgia's and Fred's home helped contribute to the memories. Their home is in a fairly secluded location so getting to local eateries does take a few minutes. The house is as pretty in real life as it is in this picture and all the amenities in the listing are as described. One of my favorite features of this home is one of the upstairs bedrooms. Two separate staircases lead upstairs, which are a delight in themselves. This bedroom with a view of the cove has several large windows, a unique round framed window, a bed, antique trunk, rocking chair, two armchairs, and a daybed. A jigsaw puzzle on the table in the sitting room downstairs helped make their home feel like our home. A stocked magazine rack with helpful maps, brochures, and an atlas of Maine with points of interest highlighted is also located in the sitting room. We took two of Georgia's recommended coastal hikes in hopes of glimpsing whales or seals and we saw three seals! Now that was a spectacular highlight! We spent a handful of early mornings sipping coffee on the deck on the back side of the house. This spacious deck, fronting the tranquil cove, has a table and chairs, sling swing, porch swing, and Adirondack chairs. We would definitely stay in this serene 100 year old home in Magical Maine again.

If you want to visit the Maine coast wthout crowds, this place is a great value.

A nice weekend get away. Sarah and Frank are friendly and informative. Beautiful location

Exactly as described, Frank and Sara were super helpful.

The location was amazing, if remote. We were looking for a location where we could reach Acadia to the south and north to New Brunswick without changing hotels--this was perfect for that. The views were amazing and the Wass Preserve right on the island was an amazing hike. Everything in Maine is far from everything else, but this was worth the drive and the food at the next door drive-in WAS very good. It closes at 8 and was not a noise issue at all. We hiked each day and were exhausted each night so no Internet or cable was not a problem. Bring your own favorite CDs as the collection is extensive, but our tasted differed from the host's. This was a basic but quiet and beautiful place to spend a few days.

Une petite maison dans un merveilleux endroit. Pas de touriste, un accueil chaleureux. Une galerie qui permet d'apprécier pleinement le site et la vie des pecheurs. Une maison ancienne en cours de rénovation avec le soucis de ne pas en faire un endroit aseptisé. Peut être un peu trop de tapis et éléments de décoration en tissu.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay! The house was cozy and tidy. We hiked through the Great Wass nature preserve only a short drive away. Frank was very quick to respond to any questions we had. Overall a beautiful, peaceful location perfect to escape from the city.

Great location. And next to an awesome seafood place

Our stay was great and the area fun to explore. Views from the house were lovely!

Beals Island is a wonderful place for people looking for a quiet, off-the-beaten-path location. Kelley Lodge is very comfortable, and it was a good size for a family of four. You can't beat the view of the water right out the window! Frank was very quick with communication and responsive to our needs. We recommend the lobster rolls from The Bayview Takeout (they were the best we had in Maine by far). We also recommend hiking in the Great Wass Preserve (allow four hours for the full loop).

Everything was wonderful at the cabin. Our hosts were terrific and there were no surprises! Communication was fantastic and Rick was extremely friendly, personally leading us into the cabin as soon as we arrived. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Such a wonderful base for seeing the more scenic areas of Maine. We hope to return someday. The home is comfortable and is a great place to cook and relax.

This is an off-the-beaten-path location which we loved! The house is adorable and clean, with lovely views from the multiple decks. Rich was extremely available and helpful both in planning our trip and during our stay. We had a great visit to Beals!

Overall a 5-star experience. This sweet cottage was a perfect fit for our family of four (2 adults, 2 little kids). Rich and Julie obviously put great effort into the details of renovating and updating this space to make it the perfect remote getaway – a tranquil space to escape the insanity of the city. The cottage’s kitchen was well equipped, the beds/bedding were very comfortable and the entire place was impeccably clean. It was helpful to have access to the laundry room. We did not miss having a television but having WiFi did assist us in planning our daily trips. The neighbors were so friendly and made sure my kids got to see the deer feeding across the street every evening. The only words of caution for prospective guests would be that the steps to the laundry room (basement) and 2nd floor may be too much for an elderly guest and to be aware that the closest Walmart/Target is at least 60 miles away so plan ahead in terms of supplies! We did a lot of outdoor day excursions such as hiking (Great Wass, Roque Bluffs, Jasper Beach) biking (Acadia), kayaking (Machias Middle River), whale watching (Lubec) and a trip to tour FDR’s summer cottage on Campobello Island, Canada. It was nice to come “home” to the cottage at the end of the day. My 8-year-old son and I took a daily evening bike ride around the island and felt very safe riding. Rich was a very attentive host who was only a text away and was very helpful before, during and after our stay. Bridge View is a great place for those wanting to explore Downeast Maine! We hope to return!

Wonderful cottage in a remote area right on the beach. Great for a quiet getaway.

From my first contact with Thomas as host, through our week-long stay at Rosehip Cottage, to our final farewells, everything was perfectly smooth. Thomas was extremely prompt and courteous in all of our communications, and although he was not physically present for our visit, he thoughtfully provided all necessary instructions (including easy access to keys for check-in and check-out) to make our stay simple and worry-free. On arrival, we were greeted by a vase of fresh cut flowers :-) The cottage itself was everything we hoped it would be - the online photos and written descriptions provide an accurate representation. We found our accommodation to be neat and clean; nearly everything is new and in good working order, and we had all the comforts of home. Despite all the windows for fantastic views, the cottage is quite private, and although we kept pretty much to ourselves (by choice), there were friendly waves and acknowledgment from neighbors if we had been inclined to say hello. Our week at Rosehip Cottage was a welcome respite from the stress of normal routines. We enjoyed early sunrises, observing life in a lobstering town, fog, hikes around coastal Maine, a visit from a local bald eagle (impressive), and more. Wishing all who stay at Rosehip Cottage in Jonesport a wonderful vacation!

My husband and I were looking for a quiet week away to decompress and we sure found it at Rosehip Cottage. The cottage was so clean, comfortable and relaxing that we wished we’d booked more time there. It sits right on the water in a cove and there’s a nice deck to watch the sea gulls, herons and fishing boats from. Thomas was always available via email or phone and both he and the neighbors were very welcoming and friendly.

Where to begin? Everything was exactly as the listing describes. Directions fro access and usage were clear and uncomplicated and the place itself was exactly as the pictures portray, with a couple of exceptions: The bedrooms were even sweeter than they show here. My trip was a combination of difficult Family transitions and leisure time, afterward. I cannot adequately describe how the Rosehip Cottage catered to that much needed balance. While private to the neighbors, who wave as they pass, in the traditional Maine way, the view is so expansive and so serene I literally felt my stress taken out with the tide. Just plain magic. There was much consideration to the design of this space that nearly every detail is spot on. Communication was expedient and Thomas even helped with a very important item I'd left behind in record time. My only concern is that it might be completely booked when I want to return! What a treasure.

Das Haus war in dem beschrieben, hervorragendem Zustand, alles sehr gepflegt und neuwertig. Die Einrichtung ist geschmackvoll und vollständig, die Aussicht ist grandios. Man hat einen tollen Blick auf die Inseln und das Meer. Bei Flut reicht das Wasser bis auf wenige Meter ans Haus, der kleine Steg und das Lobstershed laden zum Entspannen ein. Schon früh, gegen 5:00, fahren die Fischer mit ihren kleinen Booten, die unmittelbar in der Bucht vor dem Haus liegen, aufs Meer. Thomas antwortet extrem schnell und hilfreich auf alle Anfragen und ist ein perfekter Gastgeber.

Brenda and Alan's place is a beautiful cottage by the waters. It is small, but well-equipped for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We had a very peaceful stay there for four days, and would love to return some day! From the start Brenda did everything to inform us about the area, and even sent us a CD by mail days after we booked. She was always prompt in her responses, and always went that extra mile in offering me information about everything from how to get seafood to how to cook lobster! She did not merely respond to my queries, but rather advised, suggested, and it was like I was speaking to someone I knew from before! That meant a lot to me. The most unique and amazing thing about this place is the ready and easy availability of fresh seafood. We could see the wharf from the beautiful backyard, and we drove down for a few minutes to get the lobster from the fishermen! Just the experience made our trip! There was also a place within a fifteen-minute drive that sold crabmeat in containers. It was as fresh as seafood can be, and we loved it! The garden at the back also has gigantic fresh vegetables, and the water is amazing too. The rise and fall of the tides is quite apparent, and it was a treat for our little boy! All in all, this place was the perfect setting for our end-of-summer getaway, and we hope to be back someday! Thanks Brenda and Alan!

There aren't many reviews on airbnb yet about this place, so we will try to be as detailed as possible. Though it is new to airbnb, it was apparent once we were there that Brenda has been renting her cottage out for many years through other platforms, so vacationers can rest assured that Brenda is an experienced host and it is clear she has worked hard to make this a great place. Brenda's cottage is really lovely and peaceful. The view from the main room is beautiful, and the abundant windows allow you to enjoy the scenery and coastline even when you are indoors. We were particularly happy with the well-stocked (pots/pans/etc) kitchen. We usually cook even on holiday (for those of you who don't like to cook, restaurants are a bit of a trek - so you wouldn't really want to plan to eat out every meal). The outside area has a lovely garden with vegetables and flowers, and a set of outdoor table & chairs provides a great place to sit to enjoy watching the tides, read, play games, whatever. It's a perfect spot for a relaxed, "hanging around" sort of holiday. There are pleasant places to walk nearby with relatively little traffic. We could also stroll down at low tide to a small rocky area down by the water, where there were plenty of seashells and seaglass to look for. We were there early in September, and the weather wasn't good for swimming in any case, but we did walk or drive to a couple of very pretty beaches. We would best describe this as a "retreat/unplugging" type setting; there is very little (if anything) for tourists, so if your preference is for shopping, paid activities, dining out, etc, you will probably be in the car for a longer drive than if you planned to stay in a less remote area. That said, if you want to spend uninterrupted time just relaxing and hanging out, you will be really happy you came here. Even with poor weather most of the week we were there, we had such a nice view that we didn't feel like we could be "just anywhere" when stuck indoors :) The only critique we have is that the sleeping arrangements weren't ideal. The two beds upstairs in the bedroom were comfortable. But, if traveling with children, note that the stairs are narrow and steep (it's a charmingly antique cottage, with just the one room upstairs), and there is a gap at the top of the stairs with no railing to the first floor - not huge, but big enough to stumble through. There is also a low slant of the ceiling at the top of the stairs and in the bedroom itself, so anyone over about 5' tall will need to bend over to avoid hitting the ceiling. Less comfortable were the pull out sofa and the extra sleeping space in the lighthouse room. Both are probably perfectly adequate for kids or teens,...

The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The cottage was cozy, quiet and had a great view! There was lots of local information provided for hikes and walks. We paddled right from our location and also bicycled. The roads were nice and quiet. We will be back in the future! Thanks for all the great information! It came in handy!

The cabin at Pomp Island is a fabulous get away for those looking for quiet solitude and a little adventure. While off the grid, the cabin has plenty of amenities to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. The island is located in the heart of one of Maine's biggest lobstering communities so you may frequently see lobstermen at work. While Ted will gladly ferry you out to the island, I'd strongly recommend bringing your own boat so you can explore the many islands and catch sights of seals and sea birds. We're a family of 6 with kids between the ages of 6 and 12. There was plenty of room in the cabin and on the island for everyone to explore and find their own favorite spot.

We had a wonderful time at this amazing beautiful, exceedingly clean and special home. Highly recommended!!

Beautiful quiet getaway!

We were so happy to honeymoon here. So isolated and beautiful. Having lobster delivered to us was such a unique experience. We loved the house, especially the gas lights. Only wish there were more trails around the island, but if you're willing to scramble on the rocks or if you grabbed kayaks (we did) you can't beat the views! We will definitely be coming back!

Everything about the visit was better then expected! A wonderful and helpful host, and a beautiful and bright cabin w incredible surroundings. We spent 5 nights at the cabin and did some sea kayaking in the area. It was a great opportunity to connect to nature and the local lobster fishing culture. We will definitely return for future visits.

Susan and Ted are nice and welcoming hosts. I did the booking with Susan and Ted took us to the camp on the island by boat. The island is private, you only see the lobster men, and from time to time there could be canoe people allowed to camp on a spot at the shore during one night. Staying on the island is a unique experience, it felt like a retreat. We spent our time reading on the veranda or at the fireplace, hanging out on the rocks (2 beach chairs behind the sofa) and discovering the wildlife. Susan and Ted did a great job with the design of their wooden house and the interior. The living room is a huge, open space, a lot of light, calming and relaxing atmosphere, very nice view. Discover handmade details like the wooden door handles and try to figure out which mathematical pattern Ted used when he designed the windows. Mattresses are rather firm, perfect for us. We didn't expect such a nice bathroom in a cabin, it felt almost luxurious. You'll find a well equipped kitchen, towels and light and warm bedding. There are books, puzzles and a few games. The gas lamps are really nice, but take an additional reading light with battery. Take a good mosquito repellent. You'll need drinking water. You could charge your phone with an adapter that connects USB into a car cigarette lighter. But why not shut it off for a couple of days, AT&T reception wasn't good anyway. Your kids will enjoy discovering the jungle on the island and the rocky shore. We absolutely recommend this place!

This was the most unique stay I have ever had. Being that you are in your own private island, only accessible by boat, there were additional questions and concerns I had prior to booking. Airbnb's aggressive censor filter in bi-directional communication complicated matters. After a quick (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) search, I was able to find a better means to communicate with Susan. Here are the big things you should know before going: this place is off grid. No electricity or well water. Only a cistern is available for washing and cleaning. There is a septic system, so the toilet flushes, an important item amongst some spouses. There is propane gas for lighting and cooking (stove top only, no oven) and a gas powered refrigerator. There is a car cigarette lighter style plug available to charge your tech. AT&T gave us 1 spotty bar inside the cabin and great coverage from where the boats are tied up. Be sure to research renting a boat, canoe or kayak for your stay. There are lots of ingesting things to see in the nearby area that would be missed without a boat. All that said, this was a great place to stay! I only spoke to Susan, but her husband Ted was a great host! He showed us to the island and was eager to help us with suggestions and arranging for lobster to be dropped off to us, fresh from the boat! Be sure to bring your own entertainment and a sense of adventure and you will have as great of a stay as we did. We look forward to our return!

This is quintessential "off the grid" living! Expect to be Wowed by the frontier ingenuity. From the get go, Ted was gracious and helpful without being "doatering" (much appreciated). This is for those of independent spirit. If you get lucky, as we did, and get near tropical weather, you will be left breathless. I won't say more; you'll have to earn that on your own... I have traveled the world all of my 53 years of life and This is one of the truly most special places I have been blessed with the opportunity to visit.

The house, the view and the owner Phil are 5 stars all day long. The view of the sunrises from the house are incredible. We had a fire outside every night in the fire pit. Steamers and lobster (outdoor cooker provided)by the fire. Great takeout food place within a short walk from the house. Everyone we ran into was friendly. The views of the bay in the back yard were very relaxing. Didn't even want to leave the house but there is quite a bit to do in the area. We can't wait to visit again next year!

Beautiful views, lovely home, a great way to enjoy the area.

The house was gorgeous and had everything we needed. Phillip thought of everything. We loved the week we spent and would highly recommend the house to anyone who wants to visit down east Maine!

Wonderful place. Mary was very responsive to all communication.

Everything was perfect. We could not have enjoyed our stay more! The cottage is lovely, comfortable, and in a beautiful setting. We went to visit Acadia and ended up staying away from it altogether because we found so many less-visited places that were just as beautiful and easier to access. Mary was a wonderful host and gave us lots of helpful information, in addition to providing a terrific place to stay. We would love to come back!

This place is beyond words. Clean and comfortable cottage with everything you need, even a propane lobster cooker. The book Mary put together was priceless, so informative and helpful. The views, they are breathtaking. Every single room has an outstanding view. Beautiful landscaping. Picked out lobster off the boat, so tender and sweet. It is quiet, relaxing, comfortable and perfect. The bold coast is now a family favorite. Can't wait to go back to do more hiking. Everything about this vacation was perfect.

Kathleen was a very helpful host and communicated well with us. The house is beautifully furnished and decorated and very tranquil. The views were awesome during the day and at night it was completely dark outside. It is about a good hour north from Bar Harbor and we initially planned to go to Acadia. However, being way up Downeast for the first time, we took the opportunity to explore some of Kathleen's recommendations. We hiked the memorable Great Wass Preserve which was about 40 minutes away past a couple of fishing towns. A beautiful hike through pine woods to the lonely rocky coast, we did the loop in 3.5 hours and did not see a soul but saw seals, geese, and spruce grouse. Another day we went up further to Lubec, ME, and to the West Quoddy Lighthouse, at the easternmost point in the US. There's a few brilliant short pine-scented hikes there along the coast and overlooking the Bay of Fundy. We also stopped by Monica's Chocolates in Lubec-- and Monica herself gave us a tour of her basement where the chocolates were made, which were superb. We then went to Campbello Island in Canada (1.5 hours from Addison) and got a pleasant tour of Roosevelt's Cottage where FDR spent summers with his family since he was a little boy. There are short scenic hikes in Roosevelt Park and at the Herring Cove Beach Park in the island and a couple of interesting lighthouses. It was very nice to stay in the house to cook dinner (steamers one night- from the place Kathleen recommended). There was no TV but the wifi had good speed. We had dinner one night at Helen's in this sweet little working class town of Machias. The people there were great and the blueberry pie was the best. This area of the Maine coast north of Bar Harbor is quite special, without crowds, very beautiful and remote. Thank you, Kathleen for letting us stay at your wonderful house; this is a trip we will always remember and hope to do again, soon!

Beautiful house in a beautiful place. Kathleen was also super easy to communicate with. We had a fantastic stay.

Kathleen made us feel most welcome. The location was one of the most beautiful places I have been. The sunrise was awesome. The paintings on the walls, furniture were with high taste. I am thankful to have experienced such a wonderful place.

What a lovely place at a lovely time of year. It was everything we hoped for and then some - comfortable, quiet, with so much to do near and far, and lots of space around the house to just stand and take in the views and local scale of the bay. We ran, hiked, read, cooked, kayaked, walked, enjoyed a lovely sand beach only steps away as the weather ebbed from winter into spring. Our host was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely return another time!

I felt like I found the deal of the century when I came across Kathleen's beautiful home while searching for a place to stay in Downeast Maine. I'm happy to report that her home is even more lovely in person! The view of Cape Split is stunning, the land is expansive and allows for walking down to the water or sitting by the fire pit and roasting s'mores. It was the perfect home base for driving to Acadia for hiking or up to Canada to explore lighthouses. I could not have asked for a better host and place to rest my head!

This place is magical and amazing. Would definitely come back!!!

Everything was exactly as expected. A very beautiful part of the USA and I highly recommend to anyone who wants to explore Maine. Location was easy to do day trips to Bar Harbor and Bangor too.

What a delightful and peaceful spot in Downeast Maine. Our family enjoyed our time there immensely. Quiet road, plenty of wildlife, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Although we went in April, and it was still brisk, so we didn't do any water activities or much sitting on the deck, we did take some nice walks down the lane. It would be awesome to canoe or kayak there, so beautiful and accessible! The scenery was lovely even from inside their very comfortable and well furnished home. We would definitely return. (Super speedy internet too!)

The host canceled this reservation 19 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Clean, spacious and beautiful home located on a secluded tidal cove perfect for disconnecting and relaxing with friends and family. The owners received us and gave us a quick tour of the property and left us an amazing coffee cake! Thanks so much!

Everything about this house is gorgeous! I love the very private location – you cannot see or hear any anything but the birds and the lobster boats. The house is nestled in the woods at the end of the road with clear 180 degree views of the ocean and islands. It is positioned perfectly to take full advantage of the natural light throughout the day. The views from the deck are remarkable at any time of day, but particularly sunset. The architectural design is truly delightful, with high ceilings,a huge fireplace, stained glass windows, and unusual little private spaces. It was such a pleasure to cook because of the spectacular views from the sink, the stove, the stools at the island. The master bedroom with walls of windows on three side and three skylights over the bed was a delightful place to watch the dawn, the sunset or the brilliant stars. The furnishings were so comfortable: the beds, but also the cluster of sofas around the fireplace, and another looking out to sea. We brought our kayaks and launched from a sweet little cove just down the street. Did some hiking and exploring the islands. Such a peaceful spot! Pamela and Peter are terrific hosts.

The wildlife was amazing! We saw eagles, deer (a doe with three fawns) and a fox. Sipped wine on the deck watching fantastic sunsets while listening to the waves crash on the rocks below. Had wonderful family time steaming local lobsters, roasting marshmallows by the fire, and playing cards around the table. At night the universe stretched out before us through three skylights in the master bedroom. A great place to get away, relax, and recharge.

THE BEST MAINE EXPERIENCE YET AND WE HAVE TRAVELLED EXTENSIVELY THROUGHOUT MAINE!!! Filled with anticipation in regards to our South Addison NEW destination, we patiently navigated the roads and followed Pamela & Peter's detailed directions. Thinking this place is way out in the wilderness... Did we make a wrong turn? No.... Pamela and Peter's directions were spot on as we later discovered. Anticipation was building as we meandered our way on dirt roads climbing higher into the beautiful coniferous forest on a dead end road we reach our destination. We were awestruck upon arriving at this beauty of a home, filled with light. A wonderful pebble driveway accented beautifully by perennial flowers. A house in front of a magnificent ocean view with paths to the rocky shore and around the property. Multiple Adirondack Double chairs are hidden amongst the trees in several places waiting to be discovered each capturing its own ocean view. The house sits over 100' above sea level overlooking the ocean with dozens of Lobster Traps. Westerly sunsets were so beautiful and filled the house with light! A nature lovers and star gazers paradise... To fully appreciate this location It must be experienced! We highly recommend the Mullin's very unique and remote destination for a serene and lovely experience to be cherished for a lifetime!! Every detail and every comfort has been taken into consideration. You will not be disappointed! We own 2 homes in Vermont - Shelburne and North Hero and have travelled extensively through Home Exchange, (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN), Home Away, and AirBNB / This is one of the finest places we have ever resided! Rebecca wanted me to add that she really enjoyed your kitchen & cookbooks & other books and local site sharing. The wildlife is a whole other chapter to experience --- a Bobcat running across the road, a 10 point Buck hauntingly staring at us at the top of the driveway so beautiful in its camouflage we almost missed him.. The next morning we see a large Doe and Fawn from the kitchen window as we prepared our morning coffee. Incredible experience all around and I have yet to experience this in any other sites we have visited. Best wishes Pamela & Peter and thank you both very much for sharing your lovely paradise... Loving Regards, Steven & Rebecca Long(URL HIDDEN)

Pamela and Peter were great hosts. Their home is beautiful and they were very accommodating and provided a wealth of information about local hikes and other activities. Their home has incredible views, is quiet, and is the perfect retreat. We look forward to returning!

Wow! The cottage and setting exceeded our expectations in every regard. Treat yourself to this one of kind experience. You will not be disappointed. Highly recommend!

What a beautiful home. Very quiet. The water views are breathtaking from every floor. A special place to visit and rest from the frenzy of life. Will certainly go back again. The hosts take special care to have everything one needs while there. Fully stocked kitchen, wood for the indoor fireplace (well seasoned), etc I hope they continue to share their home for many more years .

Thank you, Pamela and Peter, for sharing your lovely corner of the world! We arrived not long before dark and were treated to a gorgeous sunset, while an eagle circled over the house. Our teens loved clambering on the rocks and we loved sitting on the deck after dark with a glass of wine in our hands and the Milky Way overhead. (The soaking tub is a real treat, too!)

The best view of the Maine coast you could possibly imagine. Come to Pamala and Peter's place for serenity, views, relaxation. A beautifully designed home with views from every nook and cranny, plus an indoor fireplace. Off the beaten track for sure!

The view of the ocean from this house is stunning! Both mornings, my husband and I sat with our first cup of coffee watching the sun rise and the tide come in. This house looks right out over the ocean and has its own beach. Lots of privacy here as the few neighbors are far away. Very comfortable bed! The kitchen is modern and well equipped for real cooking. There is lots of room for spreading out and for coming together in this house. Great shower! The wood stove in the living room was easy to use and added a cosy touch. Matthew was very responsive to our communications. We didn't have the chance to meet him but he left everything ready for us. We will definitely be back with the grandchildren!!

We had a great time and the house was just as advertised. We had an adventure finding the house but I usually do! Nice, remote and secluded which is what we wanted. Close enough to get to just about everything we wanted to experience with this trip - Bar Harbor, Acadia, and Shoodic point. We would stay here again.

Great place to stay if your looking to relax by the ocean! We were happy to spend the cloudy days in the cozy basement and once the sun came out we just didn't want to leave the beach and backyard, the house and yard have a beautiful view with steps right down to a quiet beach. Some water toys are provided as well! Highly recommend this place. The hosts were very easy to communicate with too.

Our best Airbnb experience yet. The house is spacious, open and airy, the decor is minimal and modern, everything is clean, and the view is a total dream. The tall pine trees and the fog over the ocean made for a beautiful backdrop for a family vacation. I kayaked with a seal while being watched over by a couple of Bald Eagles, can't beat that! I enjoyed gathering sea glass and stones. Easy to communicate with, friendly and helpful!

Brought the whole family & stayed here for a week. Pictures do not do this place justice. It's absolutely beautiful, tucked in between the woods & the sea accessible only by a dirt road. If you're looking for peace & quiet off the beaten path this place is ideal. It's a little more than an hour north of Bar Harbor & about an hour and a half south of the Canadian border. Lobsters right off the fishing boats less than a half mile away!!! Matthew was a great host, private beach was great, plenty of room and picturesque views. Would absolutely come back here! Loved it!!

Beautiful place with amazing view. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and peaceful get away.

If you need to get away from the grind and find some seclusion for your family this is the place to do it. This island is beautiful in so many ways and the fact that you have it all to yourself makes for a special kind of adventure. Glorious views confront you from the house and every corner of the island and the trails allow you to get some exercise and get to know Maine life. Take your time exploring the paths, the many different rock beaches and you can make each day fun, interesting and unique. Our four kids ages 4-10 enjoyed the island and found things to do everyday. They even became fans of the classic movies we watched together at night. 2 small notes of caution - Cell phones work, but not well, so plan to leave work at home and the rocks can be slippery for adults - my kids had much better balance than I did. The house is fully equipped and Captain Robertson and his family are great. We brought tons of food and enjoyed the family dinners together and of course ate lobster every day supplied fresh by Captain Robertson. We made campfires and did scavenger hunts for the kids most days but time flies when you are having fun. This will go down as one of the best vacations we have had as a family to date!

Our two families, with children ages 12, 13, 14, and 16, had a great time exploring the island and climbing the rocks. On the island, we saw a bald eagle, osprey, woodpeckers, flickers and lots of song birds. From the dock we saw porpoises, seals, and jellyfish. The house was roomy and comfortable enough for all eight of us. We also enjoyed a puffin tour and lobsters delivered fresh by Captain Robertson. We will be back!

Wonderful for dog and human both, peaceful and scenic

I can't say enough good things about our visit to Stephen's place. We booked at the last minute and Stephen was very responsive and able to organize things last minute. Jamie, who pilots the boat out to the island, couldn't have been nicer. He was able to bring our kayaks out on his boat and was a great tour guide. The island is stunningly beautiful. There are loads of trails through the woods, great rock scrambling along the shore, loads of sea shells and a fire pit on the beach. The house itself is charming and very well appointed with all the kitchen gear, games, and paperback novels you could want. You can hear the ocean from the bedrooms and the view from the porch is perfect. My husband and I and our boys (ages 6 and 8) were in heaven.
