Magical vacation spot

We loved staying here. The views are magical and my kids thought it was so cool to be on their own island. This location feels very remote but is close to many activities and parks. I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing, special place!

What an amazing house. Wish we could have spent more time there. It’s quiet, isolated on its own island and has a beautiful boardwalk to get out to it. Loved every bit of our stay.

This is a beautiful home in a fantastic location! The views of Cadillac mountain from the deck are amazing. The boardwalk over the water and to the island house is charming! The wagon provided made transferring our belongings a breeze. We recommend Zeppa's Pizza, the Union River Lobster, and the Riverside Cafe for dining options.

The view alone is worth it.

The view off the deck that this house provides is worth the trip alone! The house was clean amazingly well stocked. So peaceful . We will be back!

Beautiful location

Beautiful home in an even more beautiful (very private, secluded) location! We enjoyed watching the seals in the bay, watching the lobster boats, and crab hunting all from the back deck! Beautiful brand new kitchen! Very easy check in and out process. Would definitely rent again.

Beautiful house

We were looking for a quiet getaway that was close enough to the tourist attractions in Maine and we got our wish. The house was amazing. Access to the house through a wooden bridge just added to the charm. Loved all the wild life right outside the house, saw tides come in and go out from the deck, which was quite an experience.
