Wonderful Coastal Maine Cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful cottage in Prospect Harbor. It was equipped with everything we might need and more. The owner was so helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect space and wonderful hosts!
We absolutely loved our stay. The space is homey, light filled, incredible views and stocked with everything you need. Might just be my favorite place I've ever stayed. The host was so helpful and offered great tips from everything from groceries to good restaurants to the best night to build a fire. I would absolutely stay here again. Only thing to keep in mind is it's an hour from Acadia and local food options are limited. Not at all a negative, as it also meant you are out of the touristy areas and could really unplug. Just worth it to have a good amount of groceries to last in case you rather just stay in and enjoy what this peaceful retreat has to offer.

Amazing place: peaceful and restorative
This was the nicest home we have stayed in. It was immaculate. The kitchen supplies were top notch, lovely to cook with. The view from the small porch is enchanting. Perfect place for a cup of coffee or glass of wine. We had a fire in the pit a couple of times…stars were amazing. Nearby there are several good restaurants, but especially recommend the homemade blueberry soft serve ice cream at Me and Ben’s. The park at Schoodic Penensula is very close and what wonderful views. The main park is a lovely hour drive away and very easy to get to. There is a lot to do and see right around the house, too. Nice antique shops. Each day, however, we were so happy to get back to our lovely cottage. A few tips; buy your own firewood along the way at a “camp wood” station…need cash. Wi-Fi was not very strong. Groceries in Ellsworth is best place to get supplies. Hosts were prompt in reply and very helpful. Would highly recommend this stay!

Our stay
We were very pleased with our decision to book here. John and Debbie were on excellent hosts. The property is located in an attractive area with short duration access to many of the attractions that drew us to the area. The property was very clean and great for a stay. With an oceanside view and a nice area to sit by the water, it really was a great place to stay.

Beautiful property, Poor Communication Skills
This apartment was clean and on a beautiful peace of property next to the Ocean. The owners are right next door so there is no real sense of privacy to this place. The communication I had with the management company EVOLVE was the absolute worst I have had to ever deal with. A week before my trip, I sent them a request to reduce my stay by 4 days because I had to get back to be with my father who is at MD Anderson in Houston dying of cancer. I messaged them on the VRBO app and did not ever get a response for 72 hours. I finally got someone to respond by email but there was a huge lag in the time between sending the email and them responding. They offered me some minuscule amount of credit for leaving early. The WiFi did not work at all. The access point was in the owners house but too far away to get a useable signal. That apartment needs its own wireless router in there. The place and the area were clean and beautiful so it was not a complete bust. Will come back to the area but find a different place to stay.

Birch harbor paradise
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Debbie & John’s property in birch harbor. The home was immaculate, property was fantastic, and the stars at night were amazing. We enjoyed watching the lobster boats while we were sitting around the fire pit. We were also just a short 8 minute drive from Schoodic Acadia. Debbie & John were great hosts. They gave you privacy but we’re also fun to talk to. Their home offered us a perfect vacation.

"Cabin" In the Trees
Except for the stairs leading up to the apartment above the garage (manageable, but steep!), the place was a total delight and very clean. It was a bit like living in a tree house because you're up high in the middle of a woodsy area. We saw blue jays and a couple of cardinals enjoying themselves as we took in the view of the beautiful Atlantic Ocean just steps away. The short 10 minute drive to the Schoodic Peninsula portion of Acadia National Park was an adventure that almost left us speechless for its natural beauty. If you're looking for Maine's rocky, wild coastline, take time to visit this portion of Acadia and you will not be disappointed, and this "Cabin" in the trees is the perfect location for getting to the Park, and Campobello was a very manageable day trip away. I would come back in a heartbeat. A caution for those visiting Maine before Memorial Day or after Labor Day, a LOT of restaurants, shops, museums, etc. are closed, so do you research before you make your reservation.

Fantastic stay at this beautiful, peaceful property
My husband and stayed at this property for our first vacation together to Maine, and it was everything we could have asked for and more. The cottage was beautiful, clean and updated, tons of natural light, perfect amount of space (nice big kitchen, seating and bed both really comfortable!) and so peaceful. We loved having our morning coffee with a view of the water, watching the sun set over the coast, and falling asleep to the sound of the waves on the shoreline. We purposely chose this property because we wanted something away from the super touristy area, a tranquil place to come back to at the end of an active day, but with easy access to everything we wanted to do. This property provided exactly that! We were sad to leave this beautiful location, and are already talking about when we can come back!
