The house great, clean, on the water with free access to kayaks, canoes, and you can rent a pontoon if you desire. We didn’t have any dire need to contact the host during our stay but checkin was via email and that’s all we needed. The house is pretty much as listed - upstairs is open kitchen, living room, dining room, seating area by wood stove, 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. The upstairs bedrooms have queen/twin bunk setup in the front room and a queen bed in the spacious back bedroom.
The downstairs has a family seating area with TV, great recliner couches and has patio door that opens to the backyard. There are 3 bedrooms downstairs - 2 are spacious and the room to the back is smaller but all have ample closet space for longer stays. Also downstairs is a full bathroom and laundry room.
The backyard has a great fire pit we used every night, loungers if it’s sunny and warm when you visit and the water dock is unbeatable for your morning coffee spot.
The neighbors are quiet, the road is dirt and busy but you can walk your dog or yourself if you need to get your steps in. If you have your own boat/jet skis there’s a public boat launch less than 1/4 mile down the road.
It’s in a good location away from the madness of Bar harbor, but still easy to get there if you want to head that way. Ellsworth which is very nearby has some good eating spots and shopping.
Would definitely stay again.
