About this property

Oceanfront Retreat on Dyers Bay With Amazing Sunsets! Fishing off dock

Spring of 2022 NEWLY RENOVATED BATHROOM, WINDOWS AND SIDING.
We practice very high standards in regards to cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing!
Sincerely,
Wanda (housekeeper) and The Francis Family

Sunsets are amazing!
FYI, BAR HARBOR IS APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR DRIVE FROM THE COTTAGE. It is a great day trip and we suggest you drive to Winter Harbor (30 minutes away) and take the Ferry to Bar Harbor and avoid the parking dilemma (downeastwindjammer.com). Awesome 45 minute boat road and bikes are welcome.

We provide dish liquid/dishwasher pods, trash bags, liquid hand soap at sinks, coffee filters and all linens.
Coffee maker is a Keurig combo ( 12 c. drip or k-cups, not provided).

~~~Please add toilet tissue and paper towels to your shopping list as they are not provided.

A Quiet shoreside cottage nestled amongst the trees on the shore of Dyers Bay. The only traffic you will see is an occasional lobster boat passing by to haul their traps.
The deck is the perfect place to watch our beautiful Downest sunsets as well!
Also a great spot to eat a fresh Maine Lobster on the picnic table!

The cottage is quaint yet newly updated to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Our two bedroom cottage has a queen bed, two twin beds (king upon request prior to arrival) and the living room has a double size pullout couch (couch is best for children). Please advise us in advance if you require bedding for the couch and or would like the king bed vs the twins.

Located just a few miles from hiking trails on Pigeon Hill and Petit Manan Point. You won't be disappointed. Please see our reviews for messages from our previous guests.
We strive to provide a comfortable and spotlessly clean "cottage" for your visit to Maine and the most beautiful sunsets over the bay.

The cottage is most comfortable with 4 guests(quote listed) but can accommodate up to 5 if double couch is used (extra person fee $25)....couch is best fit for children.

The house is situated in a quiet, peaceful location with an incredible view. We watched lobster boats come and go and seals fishing in the bay. A fantastic place to spend a few days! The house is small and no-frills, but clean, comfortable and well-maintained. We appreciated how it was far enough from Bar Harbor to avoid the August crowds, but close enough to go there for the day. Check in/out was straightforward, and communication was excellent.

Off the Beaten Path

We stayed here for our family vacation and it was perfect for us to lay our heads after a long day of hiking. We loved the seclusion of it and we even got surprised by seeing some pilot whales while hanging on the deck. The stars were absolutely amazing!

Coastal Maine Dream

The trip was booked for the view and it did not disappoint. The ability to watch lobster fishing from the deck is worth the stay. The property is exactly what we read about and what we enjoyed during our stay. Arnold delivered as a host and we would choose him again.

Amazing view

Highly recommend this place if you are looking for an ocean front with an amazing view and some seclusion. Watching the lobster boats was definitely a highlight. We saw seals and eagles from the deck. Owners were very friendly and great with communication. Definitely check out Chipmans Wharf nearby for your lobster needs! So great!

Excellent stay at Cape Wind

A lovely quiet spot, super clean, 45 min from Bar Harbor and Acadia. We enjoyed going to BH and Acaidia as well as fishing off the dock, more local hikes, puffin cruise, and lobster rolls. Beautiful deck for meals, wine, and sunsets! You’ll see and hear many birds including bald eagles. Wanda and Arnold are wonderful and provided excellent recommendations! 5 stars!!

Perfect quiet cove

The house was very clean. It was perfect for my husband and I to enjoy a quiet time within easy driving distance to bar harbor, Acadia, Schoodic. At 6’1”he felt a little tight in the shower. Just fyi. It’s a cute little house with a great porch to sit and view the ever changing weather and beauty of nature. So thankful for our time here. Gorgeous views.

Amazing stay!

Where do I even start?!? This camp is a true Slice of Heaven. The first night we arrived, we stepped outside and THE STARS! I have never seen anything like it! This was followed by sunsets off the porch and sunrises right up the street. We saw seals, deer and discovered a King Fisher who stole the show While hunkered down at camp we enjoyed the following : - Ray's meat market for an amazing Ribeye - Local farm for eggs (watch for signs) - Chipmans Wharf - So Nice! LOBSTER! - Knotty Lobster Food Truck - Breakfast @ Milbridge House Restaurant We traveled to Acadia part two days and it’s was unbelievable!! Did Schoodnic Peninsula the other day and also so nice!! You will not be disappointed with this house. Super clean and owners ar e super nice!

Not exactly what we expected

The Steuben area is beautiful— rocky shoreline, stunning views. But the house was not really what we expected. It was clean and the necessities were provided. But we expected to have some outdoor “play” space for our kids — grassy area, sandy/rocky beach area, etc. and access to splash in the water. None of that was available. The deck provided great views, amazing sunsets especially. But in the heat of the day couldn’t be enjoyed. I’m not even sure you could get a kayak in the water from this location. Also we had some trouble with the squirrels- they were pretty aggressive. If you are looking for a place within an hour of Acadia, with tons of close hiking trails, this would be a great place to stay. Unfortunately for what we were looking to do it came up a little short.

Overall very nice. Beds are very comfortable. Kitchen supplies a bit lacking but doable. Shower very small and furnace very loud but hot water and plenty of heat. Sleeps 4 but doesn’t seat 4 in the living room. You’ll have to use a dining room chair or 3 on a 2 cushion couch. Ambiance is perfect. Very quaint and an incredibly relaxing vibe on the deck with coffee in the morning. Arnold and Wanda are great! Would definitely stay here again but with just 2 of us.

We felt that this location could not be topped. It was very private & peaceful. Each night we had seals fishing schools of fish right infront of the cabin, We had not ever seen this before and it was facinating. The fish were jumping and the seals would also be jumping. The home was very adequate, beds were good, the property was clean.The only down draw was that the home had a musty smell. The weather was "so great" that we could open the windows and air the property, I determined that the smell was coming from the return air vent that was on the floor, I placed towels over it and the smell was held back(we did not need to use the furnace). There were more rules to check out that I had not experianced with other VRBO properties that I have rented over the years, it was stressful to need to wipe down the toilet and sink, refrigrator, sweep out the property. I was on vacation.

Just an incredibly beautiful property and perfect little place for my spouse and two teens. Brought my kayak and paddled every day. My family and I hiked, picked blueberries and went whale watching. From the house we saw bald eagles, osprey, terns and all kinds of other birds in the air — plus seals and porpoises in the water. The fire pit was a great way to end each day.

So relaxing!

We loved staying here! The cottage was comfortable, clean, and a little larger than we were expecting! The shower was a little small…but that wasn’t a deal breaker. Loved having coffee and reading on the deck. We got to observe a lobsterman checking his traps. We made several trips to Milbridge for groceries and a meal. The highlight was the Catch Your Own Lobster (most of us watched) Boat Trip…lots of seals…and a delicious lobster dinner at the dock. If we lived closer, we would do it all again!
