Second time we stayed here--would stay again. Amazing views, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, plenty of room for 6. Only 1 restaurant (lunch only) is really close--others 15-20 min drive.
Clean and spacious and charming property for our girl’s get away. The only issue was the drive to Acadia main entrance was an hour away and we thought it was a much shorter distance. (Schoodic entrance was 20 minutes).

Thank you so much for your review. We will note those corrections.
It was a beautiful location with a large yard for the kids. The house is very old and has some quirks, but it worked for our short vacation. Hosts are very responsive and give great recommendations.
The house was fabulous with stunning views of the harbor, particularly at sunset. The family set up a few extra tables on the deck on Saturday and enjoyed dinner. In the morning, a family of deer walked right past us on the deck without a care in the world:) We did learn quickly, how fast the temperature drops once the sun hits the horizon!

Your review delighted us! We are always charmed by our guests stories of their stays at the Capt Young cottage. Thanks for sharing and we hope you'll have a chance to book with us again.
House was very clean, very well stocked, with lots of space and different areas. We were only two people, but I can imagine large groups doing well here as there are so many nicely furnished rooms to break into. Loved the beach a short walk away! Communications were easy and quick with very caring host.
We loved our stay at the house! It was very clean with everything we needed and had a huge deck. It was only a short drive to Schoodic. There were lots of great restaurant choices in the area. We had lunch at “Lunch in the Wharf” twice and highly recommend it. Their steamed clams, clam chowder, crab and lobster rolls were delicious and reasonably priced. It was just a short drive from the house. We also took advantage of the nearby lobster co-op twice, also highly recommended.

Old house was really historic and neat. Stairs are sketchy not for the really young or old. Gorgeous location. Right on the harbor and close to ocean. Right next to neighbors who have private beach so don't go onto it. There is another beach you can go to...instructions in the house by the stand in dining room. Not the cleanest VRBO, but it is passable.

Thank you for your feedback Brendle. We appreciate you being respectful of private property beside the rental property. Also, it is true the stairs are inherent to the original home and part of the historical features and charm. We do provide cautionary signage to watch your head. We have alerted the housekeeping team that they will need to do a thorough job cleaning after the multiple dogs you had with you during your stay....we acknowledge dogs shed and bring sand in on their paws. Glad you enjoyed the location and historical features. It is truly a unique property on a working harbor.
We loved this place! House is old, but very functional! This house is off the beaten track and access to groceries is very limited. Bring what you need with you. Lunch on the Wharf is just down the road and did not disappoint. To clarify, the house has two kings, one queen and 3 twins. Would highly recommend!
Loved the quiet of the home. Had great views of the bay. The house had everything we needed. The stairs were very steep. Not good for someone who would have mobility issues. One would expect this with the age of the house. You can also get fresh lobster right next door.
We had a family vacation with 9 adults. The house is a historic building and much of the charm of the original structure. The location in Corea Harbor was amazing. Just steps from the local lobster co-op with fresh lobsters was so fun and the fresh lobsters were delicious. The walk to the beach does involve a short trek through the woods. The beach is beautiful and you can walk out to islands during low tide. The stairs to get to upstairs bedrooms are narrow and you have to watch your head! The kitchen was well stocked. The house is on well water and has high iron content- there was a brita supplied that helped but you might want to bring some drinking water if you are picky.

Kristi, what a wonderful review, thank you! We are so excited when we read about our guests' adventures. Yours sounds perfect. Looking forward to your return visit.
We loved the location! Sitting on the deck or around the fire pit we faced the water filled with fishing boats. The Schoodic Peninsula is the place to be. You’re away from the crowds, the National Park is right there and you can take a ferry over to Bar Harbor and not worry about parking. The 4 bedrooms varied quite a bit in size, view and comfort. The master with en suite bathroom even had its own sitting room looking out toward the water. On one side of the house there were 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. On the other side there was a bedroom with a sitting room but no bathroom. The stairs to the second floor on both sides of the house could present a challenge to folks with bad knees.The kitchen, dining room and living room were comfortable and we were glad to have the washer and dryer in the downstairs half bathroom.

Thank you Jan for this very helpful description of your stay at the Capt. Young Cottage in Gouldsboro ME. You are right about the location being the place to be! There was a recent article in the Bangor Daily News about this remote Acadia location attracting tourists who prefer a quieter retreat.
We had a wonderful (Canadian) thanksgiving weekend at this beautiful farmhouse. It's situated halfway between Halifax and our friends in Boston and was the right size for our group of 9, which includes 5 teenagers and 4 adults. The large family room is great for games, puzzles, reading or relaxing. There were some recent renovations in the bedrooms, kitchen, dinning room and also a large new deck. The location is beautiful overlooking the Corea harbour and is steps for a lobster coop where you can get fresh lobster!. This is our 3rd time here and will plan to come again next year!
This place was perfect for a long-weekend girls trip up to Maine! We had a group of 7, and there was plenty of bedroom space for all of us, we never felt claustrophobic, and we never fought over showers since there were 2 full baths. The house was clean when we arrived and had all the amenities we needed during our stay. The kitchen worked great, we enjoyed multiple sunsets on the back porch, there was plenty of space at the dining room table and living room for us to hang out, and we even got cozy around the firepit one night. Cindy is also a great innkeeper, as she was great with communication leading up to our check-in date, and she checked in via text multiple times throughout our stay. And although it is about an hour drive to Acadia/Bar Harbor, we loved the place and would definitely recommend to other groups looking to stay in the area.

Arrived at the wrong location. 6 hr drive time with a 3 yo.Owner said she sent directions & code; physically showed her what I received-no apology. Didn’t put the dog down to give us full attention. Advised where to go “only hour away; straight shot. Easy.” Amusing for her and assistant. It was 2 hours away and far from straight shot. Kitchen sink leaks with a bucket of stagnant water. Upstairs shower doesn’t drain well-9 people used 1 shower. Couch old and torn all over. Torrential rain off the bay came in thru both doors on that side-heavily. During our stay yard work was done took about an hour. Lobster coolers on deck because lobsters are not permitted in the house; had old water and smelled. We cleaned, vacuumed, stripped beds, washed towels put in dryer and sheets to washer. After leaving I am being questioned about a small bird figurine. Each of these in itself not a big deal-combined-not an enjoyable experience at this location and company. DO NOT RECOMMEND My 4th rental-my 1st unsatisfactory experience.

Gorgeous views for a secluded mid coast Maine stay. Very quiet area with large deck and lots of seating to enjoy the outdoors. Living room was large but rooms were a bit deceiving. The upstairs is split and the rooms up there are hard to get to due to steep small steps and extremely low ceilings. Didn’t feel safe having the very old or very young traveling up and down them. Otherwise wonderful stay and very enjoyable and accurate listing!
Great place for real lobster harbor.. great place to stage to MDI.. would do it here again.. great mix of old and new... fire pit was great as was deck...

The Capt. Nehemiah Young House is an original farmhouse built in 1860 and renovated in 2004. Capt Young met Ellen Crowley in the mid-1800's, gave up his sea-faring life for her. She become his wife and helped him tend to the cow farm around the home. This is a beautiful, windswept peninsula which provides that "away from it all" feeling and salty air you can find only in Maine.
