This is the perfect home for a quiet, relaxing vacation! It feels like you’re the only people for miles when you’re enjoying a meal on the patio or making s’mores by the fire pit. Kayaking on Grand Marsh Bay (launch just steps down the lawn) was wonderful - the water was calm, the skies were clear, and we got to see lots of birds, including a pair of bald eagles! The location of the home is convenient even with the benefits of solitude - it’s a quick 10-15 minute drive to several roadside stands, restaurants, groceries, and villages along the harbor. The Schoodic Peninsula side of Acadia, also nearby, is magnificent and super quiet, and if you want to visit Bar Harbor and Mt. Desert Island (definitely worth it), you can catch the ferry from Winter Harbor.
Phil and Kim thought of absolutely everything. The house is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and they were incredibly gracious hosts! This is probably the best VRBO I’ve ever stayed at and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend - you don’t want to miss this!
