About the host

Hosted by Meg Hackett

Host profile image
I grew up in Boston and now live with my family on the east side of Cleveland. Being from New England, Maine has always had a special place in my heart. This house is a special escape for our family, and we're so excited to share it with you too!

Why they chose this property

Nestled on three acres, Whitney Waters Retreat is a peaceful escape that is also perfectly located to access all corners of Mt Desert Island so you can experience all the island has to offer. We love being just a hop, skip and jump from Long Pond for swimming and kayaking.

What makes this property unique

This property feels like home - from the cozy Maine decor to the well stocked kitchen - but it also feels like a luxury escape! The 1,200 SF game room is a favorite with kids and the perfect way to spend a rainy day. The hot tub and sauna are loved by adults and children alike, and families and friends can't get enough of spending a night around the fire pit, roasting s'mores, telling stories, and having a good laugh. My family can't get enough of it!
