Fall Adventure

This was a beautiful scenic retreat - cabin with a view you’ve never experienced! We enjoyed the feel of the outdoors without camping. It was all we needed for resting every night after a long day of Acadia National Park adventures. It was cold in October but there were small heaters in every room to keep us warm.

Cabin with a view!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Birch Cabin. We could watch the sunrise, eagles fly past seals in the bay and lobster fisherman check their traps every morning while drinking coffee from the deck or living room window. We had everything we needed and loved being a part of the Maine’s woods and cove experience. Peter is a fantastic host and communicator. The location is very close to Acadia National Park and the town of Bar Harbor. A really great authentic Maine experience!

Amazing little chalet

We loved everything about this little place. The porch was a little piece of heaven and it coupled perfectly with a place up the hill that Peter also owned for a bigger family vacation. (I accidentally left my original review for the chalet there instead of here.) Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful chalet

We had a wonderful stay, check in was smooth and easy, Peter was great about keeping us up to date with possible early check-in. The Bluebery Pie and Preserves were excellent! Peter was great with communication and giving recommendations for things to do and places to eat. The binder was extremely helpful. Thanks for a great stay Peter!! We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Peter Miano

I first came to Maine and Mt. Desert Island as an 18 year old bound for a year long volunteer assignment at Our School in Robbinston, about 100 miles east of MDI. That is when I fell in love with the land and seascapes of Maine, its natural beauty, its powerful seasons (if you haven't discovered Maine in Winter, maybe now is the time), and its rich heritage. Over the years, I returned often to Acadia and Downeast for family vacations.

purchased this Chalet in 2020

Why they chose this property

After a long, tedious search for a place to buy and enjoy and after several frustrations, I found Shore Haven, although it wasn't called that at the time. It was love a first sight. Its unsurpassed natural setting and extraordinary access to all the amenities of MDI, not to mention all of Downeast and the interior as well, were strong attractions for me. In addition, Shore Haven's house (Overlook) and two chalets (Spruce and Birch) offered the opportunity of welcoming others to enjoy MCI the same way that I do with my family and friends. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. I hope the Maine coast enchants you the way is does me. Relax, have fun, soak up the atmosphere. Welcome to Shore Haven.
