Peaceful Basement Apartment among serene woods, paths, and a stream near Acadia

Our property spans 4.5 acres of forest on Mount Desert Island. You are welcome to walk the manicured paths and relax and rest in the chairs, benches, hammock, etc. that you find throughout the property.

The basement apartment has two spacious bedrooms, a common area, and a bathroom with shower.

A microwave, 10 cubic feet refrigerator, coffee pot, toaster, dishes, and a bucket dehumidifier are included in the common area. A Crock pot is available. A large fan can be found in each bedroom.

If you use the canoes or kayaks all individuals must wear life jackets (available and provided).

We do have a right-of-way to Long Pond. At the end of this right-of-way is a small beach you are welcome to use.

Our secluded property is centrally-located on Mound Desert Island (MDI) and within 25 minutes of all destinations in Acadia National Park.

Due to increasing sensitivities, we ask that you please refrain from using perfumes and strong deodorants.

This was a perfect basement unit to relax in after hiking all day at Acadia. The hosts were amazing with communication and gave us recommendations on hikes, food, and unique things to do. We also had the option to use their canoes and grill. They wanted us to truly cherish our Maine experience.

A great spot on the ‘quiet side’ of Mount Desert island.
This was exactly what we were looking for… a place to stay that was close to the big attractions in Acadia, but away from the crowds.

Excellent stay
We found the location very nice. We were first-time visitors to Acadia, and the property location is a short, pretty drive to hikes and sights. The bonus is that it is very quiet and secluded (unlike Bar Harbor). Excellent value for Maine, and the host is exceptionally kind and helpful.

Great Location and Amenities
We loved our stay here - we picked the property because its location on the island as well as the amenities available to us. Having free access to kayaks and beautiful ponds whenever we wanted is an amazing perk of staying here. Also the hosts are great and helped us out with any questions we had about the area, as well as dusted off some of their old toys for our baby to play with! Highly recommend staying here if you want to be on the island within 20-30 mins of everything, and want to be able to explore the property on foot or by kayak! Thank you!

Great location!
Great property with short drive to scenic Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Do not expect luxury but very comfortable with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath on over 4 acres with beautiful surroundings. Owners are very welcoming and will give great recommendations of things to do in the area. We very much enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to return to the area again soon.
