Adi's Mountain View is attached to our home where we live year-round. You have your own private entrance and your outdoor space has been designed with your comfort and privacy in mind. All interior space is entirely private and your own. You may see us outside coming and going, gardening, or hunting insects with our young daughter Adi. Say hi if you'd like but we'd like to respect your space and vacation by staying behind the scenes where possible. The entire 7 acre property and rental space are well cared for by us because this is where we call home.
Our property abuts Acadia National Park - leave the rental on foot and hit the trails!

We live on a safe dead end road with 6 fabulous neighbors. The whole neighborhood was once farmland and 10 beautiful acres of meadow remain open and undeveloped (we own 6 acres of meadow, with paths for walking). The orientation of your rental and the layout of the property provides a nonstop light show: sunrises, sunsets, moonrises, and on clear night STARS!!
Rural Maine = nature/wildlife/fish/wildflowers/bugs:
If you are interested in plants, water recreation, hiking and wildlife look no further! If not, you can sit by the outdoor fire pit and enjoy the mountain views of Acadia National Park from the rental. The pond at the bottom of the meadow has a max depth of 22 feet and is full of bass, perch, pickerel, brown trout and sunfish. You will find all sorts of birds on the property if you know what you are looking for (marsh birds, song birds, turkey, raptors, owls). The 6 acre meadow is full of native flowers and grasses (see photos) that you can see from the mowed paths we maintain. We don't consider the bugs bad at Adi's Mountain View (no worse than anywhere else on the island), but if you are looking for a 100% bug free vacation you should probably look elsewhere. Part of our road is unpaved, with a few shallow potholes, but is level and easily passable by virtually all vehicles - just drive slow! Children, cats and dogs may be playing in the road.
