Perfect Location and Accommodations

Great central location to head out and see both Schoodic and Bar Harbor Acadia National Parks. Can head in any direction for great scenic day trips as well. Accommodations and amenities were perfect for our group of six. We will definitely be back. Thank You Jeff and Jen.

Authentic coastal Maine

We were visiting Maine for the first time and wanted to experience it all: crashing waves on the rocks, beautiful scenery, lobster boats and fresh lobster. We also wanted to relax and your house was wonderful. Oceanfront, secluded and quiet while also being close to Arcadia, Bar Harbor and many nice little towns to explore. Perfect for us and just as described.

Can't say enough good things ....

If you are looking for an amazing place to vacation while staying in Maine, this is the place. The property owners are amazing to deal with. They gave us so many recommendations to do on our trip (they really try and personalize based on what you are there for). The house is clean, comfortable and has everything you need. We watched the lobstermen every morning and got to see dolphins one evening too. The sunrises, sunsets and stars are breathtaking. The bedrooms are comfortable and the futon that folds down into a bed is comfortable too. Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We walked the shoreline every morning and evening and enjoyed the remoteness of the property. This is definitely a 5 star rental. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

We had a wonderful week at Ledgeview. The house was beautiful and the view was amazing. The sunrises were awesome. We had great weather. The hosts Jeff and Jen were very helpful and addressed any questions very quickly. Just what a vacation in Maine should be. Thank you Jeff and Jen for sharing your cottage.

Stunning views! We enjoyed our stay at the cottage- everything was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Communication with the owners was excellent. We visited Acadia, the Schoodic point, and Corea (catch your dinner tour was awesome). The cottage has been maintained very well, something you can not say about many rental places. My father was especially amazed by the natural seawall of cobblestones :)

Wish we stayed longer

We loved our time here. The house is very comfortable with everything just as described. We took full advantage of its proximity to Schoodic Point and the recommendations of our hosts. I got the check-out time wrong, leaving later than we should have. They were very gracious with our mistake. We would gladly come back here for a stay; maybe next year!

Quiet and lovely

This property was quiet and made for secluded family nights in after long days spent out exploring, hiking and sightseeing. It was well appointed and we woke up to a tremendous view. We even got to watch lobster boats right from the house.

Fabulous views very clean

We had a wonderful stay at Ledgeview cottage! Wonderful remote location away from the business of Bar Harbor but close enough to drive to and very close to Schoodic peninsula. Amazing views of the ocean from almost every room in the house especially the beautiful deck where we would enjoy the sunrise with our coffee and later at night star gazing. There were very nice extras that made our stay especially nice … loved having the binoculars to look out at the ocean as the boats were coming in… even spotted dolphins! Communication with the host was great! Poor WiFi but who cares when you have all that beauty surrounding you. It’s nice to be unplugged anyway! This house had ample living space for our party of 4 and was very clean with cute decor. Could not be happier that we chose this cottage for our first visit to Maine!

Relaxing Maine Getaway

This cottage offers everything one could desire for a relaxing Maine getaway experience. The ocean front views from the living room, dining room, and master bedroom sitting area were fantastic. The deck was an ideal spot to watch the sunrise, a lobster boat pulling traps, or sip a glass of wine listening to the surf. Jeff and Jen were fantastic hosts, offering helpful info on local restaurants, markets, and activities. You won’t be disappointed staying at Ledgeview cottage.

Downeast Coast adventure

The property was excellent, very clean and perfect for our group. Great access to the Schoodic Peninsula, Desert Island and the northern Maine coast. We had great weather with clear shy which allowed us to turn down the house light and watch the Milky Way over the Atlantic.

Easy access to Schoodic Peninsula

The property was as described. It was very clean. The rocks were challenging for us older ones, but the younger ones enjoyed them. It had general pots and pans and very few staples for cooking. Plan accordingly. The biggest issue for me was that it had no dishwasher. I struggle with the proper sanitation of utensils. There were not so many toys for the littles. We had zero Wi-Fi. Reception was spotty, but that was okay for us. We brought games and entertainment, but one needs to plan accordingly. We drove to Bar Harbor and Acadia; Both were a nightmare for too many folks. We thoroughly enjoyed the loop and getting out to look at Schoodic. It was enjoyable; we never saw anything but seagulls, which was probably seasonal. Overall, the place was adequate, and we saw what we wanted nearby.

Great get away

Took my 80 year old mother on a little trip. The large bedroom on the first floor was a bonus, did not have to negotiate extra stairs once inside. The porch was wonderful. Loved the quiet location. Took the ferry to Bar Harbor it was worth every penny. WIFI was a challenge but we did not care about access.

Ideal Maine Stay

Born and raised in the Deep South the only idea of what the North East /Maine coast would be like was from what I seen on tv & movies. I knew it would be hard to find a place that would measure up to the perfection I had seen on screen but this house not only measured up, it far exceed what I was hoping for. The house, the landscaping, the town, the home owners, everything was perfect! I knew my husband and I would enjoy the secluded and quiet space but I was worried my 6 year old would get bored but even he absolutely loved running through the house and watching the boats come and go. This rental was everything we could have wished for and more & we hope to make it back up to stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Grant

Host profile image
Jennifer and I are both native to the area and have spent our entire lives here. I am a local builder and she is a caretaker for several people here on Prospect Point. We are avid outdoors-people, who enjoy hiking,boating,bird watching and sightseeing. I am a member of the Planning Board as well as a consultant for the new town park. We support many local charities and basically love our little town.

Why they chose this property

We have taken care of this home and its owners for many years. When the opportunity to purchase it came up in the winter of 2016, we jumped at the occasion. We are unable to move in at this time due to my business needs and have decided to share with others.

What makes this property unique

We have both always loved the idyllic nature of this home, being the last house on our road. We both grew up here on the coast but, until you spend an evening listening to the beach rocks lapping the shore to the spectacular sunrises,you haven't experienced "the way life should be".
