Amazing location!

We absolutely loved our stay at Tricia’s property! The home was clean and had everything we needed. The view was even more than we expected. Having access to our own beach and kayaks was such a special treat and the star gazing at night was an unexpected bonus! Being on the “quiet side” of the island definitely came with some perks! Tricia, was so easy to communicate with. She even scrounged up a high chair for our baby so we didn’t have to fly with ours. It was a joy to stay here!

Great location on Mt Desert

Great location on the quieter side of the island but drivable to more popular areas. Beautiful overlooking the water and nice to have our own private water access. Host was very responsive and gave good suggestions. We felt comfortable and welcomed - our home away from home for the week!

Highly Recommend!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our 4-night stay here. Highlights were the beautiful view from the back deck and the hospitality of our host- Tricia went out of her way to make sure our needs were met throughout our stay. Would highly recommend booking!

About the host

Hosted by Tricia thurlow

My Husband and I started out family 10 years ago with a wedding ceremony at our family boat yard located down the hill from this property. We have been blessed with three beautiful children. My husband is a locate lobsterman and I am a nurse for the local hospital.

Why they chose this property

When my husband's family decided to sell this property we realized we didn't want to miss the opportunity to expand our current property.

What makes this property unique

The views from the house are hard to beat. But in addition to having the views you also have access to a large area of beachfront which is hard to find on Mount Desert Island.
