Lookout Point w/ Sweeping Views Acadia National Park

William, I wanted to take the time to personally thank you for all your kind words; they truly filled our hearts and souls. It’s not easy to open one’s home to guests, but we do so that folks can experience all that Bar Harbor, Acadia, and Maine have to offer, and because we feel that Lookout Point truly offers a beautiful, unique setting and incredible convenience. You summed it up perfectly! We all work incredibly hard to ensure that Lookout Point gives everyone a place to call home when visiting the area. The home is cleaned, staged, and set – ready to go - time after time; yet Lookout Point touches people in different ways – which is why your wonderful experience, so eloquently expressed, is truly appreciated. On behalf of the hardworking, dedicated team of Lookout Point, Thank you!

We agree – our little home in Bar Harbor, known as The Lookout, is very special indeed. We love sharing all that she has to offer to families and friends who visit the Bar Harbor area. * 1 mile to the Entrance of Acadia National Park * 3 miles to the Town of Bar Harbor * Private pebble beach * Cool ocean air that pours in the open windows * Watching seals play in Frenchman’s Bay * Hearing the call of the coyotes at night coming from the Schoodic Peninsula * Hummingbirds visiting the gardens and feeders * The twinkling lights of Bar Harbor at night or the full moon shining over the water Very true. Her layout is truly unique, and the separate bedroom “wings” do lend themselves to privacy! Thomas, part of the responsibility of owning a “character” home is preservation. While you felt the kitchen cabinets and drawers were “difficult” to use, we respect their “made-in-place” craftsmanship and historic glass fronts. While the kitchen may be a pivot from a “smart” kitchen, we feel that installing a “smart” kitchen in a 1949 midcentury home wouldn’t be that “smart.” Personally, I love to poke through antique stores, and I believe I understand your insinuation; however, since she is our home as well, there’s never been any observation of this nature from anyone – family, friends, or visiting dignitaries. Not sure how the physical “style” of a home, whether it’s mid-century, Victorian, Craftsman, or another, translates into an olfactory experience. Thank you for noting her cleanliness! We have a great team – they are deeply committed to caring for such a unique home. Whether it’s getting her up to speed pre-season by professionally cleaning the windows inside and out, shampooing the upholstery and rugs, or maintaining her in between hosting guests from all over the country, it’s a responsibility that we all take very, very seriously. Thank you again, Thomas, for choosing “The Lookout.” We hope your memories will be cherished for years to come!

Thank you, Diana, for your wonderful review! The team at Lookout Point works diligently to ensure that everyone has a wonderful vacation and all take great pride in the details. We all work in unison – it is truly a team effort! All the best to you and your family and we hope to see you again at Lookout Point!

Jonathan, Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective, and we’d like to take the time to clarify a few things: 1. There is NO building of a new house going on at 65 Lookout Point – not anywhere on the entire five wooded acres. We are, however, excited to welcome a new neighbor to our community who is building their well-earned, long-awaited home after a dedicated career of public service. 2. We are honest and transparent with the declaration that “A private, separate cottage shares the 5-acre property. It is occupied and not available for VRBO rental.” The cottage is private and self-contained, with its own parking and experience. The “main house” is a completely separate entity, with its own expansive parking and a private terrace offering sweeping views of Bar Harbor, Frenchman’s Bay, and Cadillac Mountain. Lookout Point is a legacy property – a family estate – and the family is very proud to offer such a historically significant home where folks can not only reconnect with nature and each other but also experience all the beauty Maine has to offer: eagles soaring overhead, lobster boats busy making their daily catch, wild blueberries, the comings and goings on Frenchman’s Bay, the beauty of Acadia National Park, and the bustling streets of Bar Harbor – all within ten minutes of Lookout Point! The hardworking, dedicated team at Lookout Point would like to take a moment to wish you and your loved ones well. We hope you find beauty and joy in all that life has to offer. Sincerely, The Hardworking Team of Lookout Point

Jason, Thank you for taking the time to write your review. We are all so happy that we were able to accommodate you and your family during our very busy summer season, and that you and your family were able to experience the 4th of July fireworks right from the living room of Lookout Point!! Yes, Maine has an incredible, biologically diverse ecosystem, and we all work very hard to maintain its important balance while at the same time mitigating its impact on visitors to the area. We will definitely reach out to the mattress manufacturer and share your review. We were very excited to purchase this king mattress last year for our king ensuite as it was hand-selected for its ability to appeal to all types of sleepers. Thank you again, Jason. We all want to wish you and your family a very happy and healthy 2025!

Dawn, thank you for your lovely review and, most importantly, thank you for choosing Lookout Point and Maine as your destination to celebrate what sounded like a truly fun and memorable “girls’ trip!”
