Escape the Bar Harbor crowds for your sanctuary on the peaceful "Quiet Side" of Mount Desert Island. This sprawling upstairs retreat offers a massive layout set among the woods. The floor plan features a primary suite with a luxurious king bed and soaking tub, a cozy full bedroom, and a third room with two twins. A second full bathroom with a tub/shower provides essential convenience for families traveling with children. Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife; the backyard is home to several apple trees that attract deer in droves, offering a front-row seat to nature right from your windows. Step out onto your private wooden deck—the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening stargazing among the trees. Your stay is completely private with a dedicated entrance via the deck stairs, while your hosts live in the separate downstairs unit and fully respect your quiet enjoyment of the property. Inside, you will find a full kitchen, a dedicated laundry room, and fast Wi-Fi. Outside, the property features a massive gravel turnaround with ample parking for multiple vehicles or gear like kayaks and trailers. After a day of exploring nearby Acadia National Park trails or kayaking at Seal Cove Pond, you can unwind at your private fire pit area to roast marshmallows under the stars. This is the ultimate home base for exploring the island’s best-kept secrets with all the comfort and space of a full-sized residence.

Hosted by Ashley Graves
Hi, we’re Ashley and Ben. This is our first time hosting, and we’re really looking forward to it. Ashley grew up right here on the island and teaches at the elementary school, so she’s the true local of the two of us. Ben is an engineer who’s usually busy with a project or planning our next hiking trip. Since we’re new to this, we’re going the extra mile to make sure the place is perfect and that you have a great stay. We are happy to help with anything you need.
