We had a wonderful time at this lovely property. The peaceful setting had no disturbances from neighbors—just a few deer and a flock of turkeys one morning, which added to the charm. The thoughtfully laid out space was very pet friendly, making it comfortable for the two of us and our dog. Our hosts were attentive and quick to respond, answering all our questions promptly. The views from the property were truly amazing, and its close proximity to the Schoodic Peninsula made it an ideal base for exploring another beautiful area of Maine. Overall, it was a perfect spot for a relaxing and scenic week-long getaway.

This is our second stay in this beautiful home; there are simply no words for people who share their treasured possessions with guests from everywhere.

This was our 2nd visit to this amazing property! A spectacular setting with absolutely everything you could want for a wonderful vacation. Taking the time to explore the gorgeous Schoodic Peninsula from this house was fabulous. We used the detailed information left by the homeowners to find fun places to eat, secret spots to explore and unique activities to do. Any questions about the house and the information was located in the book. A beautiful house and location…. We’ll definitely be back!

Perfection!

We could not have been more pleased with this property. The location was great and the view was stunning. While we spent time exploring the area each day, we also enjoyed time at the house cooking a couple dinners and just relaxing and enjoying the view and the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks. The house had everything needed and more - and was spotless. The hosts left delicious bread, a bottle of wine and some gorgeous flower arrangements in a couple places. It was a fantastic week and are so grateful to have had the opportunity to stay here.

Peaceful and beautiful Maine vacation home

Lovely cottage and location, quiet, low-key, fun local hikes. The cottage is warm and welcoming, comfortable in every aspect, with thoughtful details. Well-equipped kitchen. Cozy inside, many books and puzzles, with a range of places to enjoy being outside--deck with grill, hammock, steps to the rocky shoreline. Owner very responsive. One of our favorite places!

Lovely home with a dramatic waterfront view!

Over the last two years, we have enjoyed the beauty of the rugged coastline and the solitude of the Schoodic Peninsula. The house is inviting, comfortably decorated, and well-maintained. Plus the owners go above and beyond the expected in hospitality. We took advantage of the trails in Acadia National Park but local hikes offered equally dramatic views. We also found several restaurants nearby to get our fill of local lobster and seafood. We are already planning next year's trip!

Exceeded High Expectations

We spent a marvelous week at Lighthouse Point. The house is well-appointed and well-situated, so that you never need to leave if you so choose. We read, took long walks with the dog, and made occasional excursions. Highlights included the ferry between Winter Harbor to Bar Harbor (we saw seals, porpoises and bald eagles), exploring Bar Harbor itself, and the spectacular village of Corea, including the walk out along the causeway to Bar Island. We hope to go back soon!

A total escape

My husband and I had the most relaxing time here! The house is so special with so much interesting detail and thoughtful decor. We enjoyed sitting on the deck drinking coffee, walking down to the rocks to see boats go by and just relaxing. We had a great time exploring the local area as well and we can’t wait to come back! Very clean and comfortable and Sally was easy to reach for questions- She checked in with us to make sure everything was going OK. We really enjoyed the bottle of wine and cake that was left for us as well! Highly recommend!

Lovely home with a dramatic view!

We had a wonderful week in this home at Prospect Harbor! The interior was very comfortable and we especially enjoyed the picture windows that allowed us to get views of the water at all times. There was also a library of useful information that helped us plan our hiking, sightseeing, shopping, and eating in Acadia and vicinity. Owners were always responsive and generous in this hospitality. There is nothing that we would want or do differently! Lisa

Relaxing Getaway

My wife and I had such a great week at this wonderful property. The house was so warm and comfortable, we immediately felt right at home. Watching the sunrise while we had our coffee each morning on the rocks was amazing... not to mention the bald eagles, seals and lobster boats. What a treat! Sally could not have been nicer. The fresh flowers, delicious friendship bread and wine was unexpected and appreciated. We're so glad we chose to spend a week at this property. It was an unforgettable vacation!

A Little Taste of Heaven

This was our second time staying at this location and we wouldn't hesitate to come back again. The house offers a private, secluded setting with ocean waves lapping along the shoreline right in the backyard. The owners and care taker keep the house immaculately clean and organized. The house is full of amenities (including a stocked kitchen) for a comfortable stay and is sweetly decorated with many pieces from local artists. There are fun decoration surprises through out the house. The welcome book is packed with suggestions and ideas for a fun filled week of activities and restaurants. Another plus is the town of Prospect harbor is quiet and peaceful.

Our favorite place

This place is beyond wonderful! We have been coming here every summer for the past few years and as soon as we get here all of our cares and worries are washed away, as we ease into relaxation and truly special days of reading on the magnificent porch overlooking the waves as they crash into the rocks. We love to walk down to the rocks and watch the water- throughout the day, the light on the water changes, as do the waves with the tide. It’s so relaxing! The house itself is so clean and cozy, with everything you could need or want and the hosts are awesome and responsive. We always appreciate the homemade bread and bottle of wine they leave for us! We have come to know the local area and have our favorite places to eat, love the library and other charming aspects of the area. Such a great location for access to the Schoodic Peninsula- a beautiful part of Acadia - and if you want to go to the main part it’s an easy drive. Now we start counting the days until our next visit….thank you Sally and Bob!!!

Peaceful and serene with beautiful views and lots to do

We had a perfect family vacation at this house in August 2015. The house was laid out perfectly for a family of 5 and a dog. There were lots of books and games to keep the kids entertained during downtime. Our youngest son loved sleeping in the loft area. The deck overlooking the ocean was the perfect spot for morning coffee. We spent most of our time on the rocks soaking in the sunshine and watching the lobster boats. There is a sandy beach about 1 mile from the house, and we found a perfect lunch spot in the Corea village - Wharf Gallery and Grill. We did the 12 mile loop of Schoodic on bikes, which was amazing, and spent time at Acadia hiking and enjoying the sunset. While we didn't make it up Cadillac Mountain for the sunrise, we did manage to catch a sunrise at the house - it was worth the effort! I can't recommend this house highly enough. We have it bookmarked for our next visit to Maine!

Perfect Maine Stay- again and again!

This was our third summer staying in this lovely, peaceful house - and we will likely be back for summer number four! The first summer we came with our immediate family (two adults and two young children), and the second and third we shared the home and Maine with our parents. The home is always clean and ready for our arrival. We were again greeted by a bottle of wine and a delicious loaf of friendship bread. The home is decorated to reflect the surrounding nature, and each year we arrive to updates to the home and decor. We spent hours climbing on the rocks and watching soaring eagles. The sunrises and sunsets are stunning from the rocks and the perfect background for morning coffee or evening wine. This year we took advantage of the outside sitting area and built a fire for s'mores. The home is close to Schoodic for adventures and an easy, scenic drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia. We absolutely love this home, and it has helped us create cherished family memories! I can't think of a better place to enjoy Maine!
