Amazing!
The house is fantastic and just as pictured. The setting is warm and homey and very comfortable for the 5 adults when we had everyone together. We loved the small office, screened porch, and large family room. Being right on the water gave wonderful views just stepping out of the house. Sighted seals, loons, and a pair of bald eagles nests nearby for a daily visit. Couldn't ask for more! The communication from Karen was outstanding. e weathered Hurricane Lee during our stay, and the power went out. We didn't notice it at first because of the large generator kicked on immediately. When the generator shut down, a call to Karen, and the caretaker was there in 10 minutes to get it back on.

Absolutely amazing
A five star home and location. This is our second time staying at Middlegrounds. We had friends with us the first week and family the 2nd week. The home is absolutely perfect for both. Incredible water views and beautifully landscaped property. The home is just perfect..casual elegance and space for everyone to spreadout. We rented standup boards and kayaks and enjoyed seeing the seals and loons, lobster boats and sailboats. 2 weeks flew by and we are all so sad to leave this perfect Maine vacation home!

Awesome week!
An awesome week with friends. Middlegrounds had everything we needed, plus. The house accommodated us very well and came equipped with everything. It was very convenient visiting Bar Harbor and other coastal and historic towns. Nothing but compliments from my group. Karen was great to work with. I highly recommend.

Wonderful stay at Middlegrounds
We had a wonderful stay at Middlegrounds. The house was lovely and well stocked, with beautiful views from all rooms. The kids loved the playroom and the fireplace made for a cozy November stay. Karen was very responsive and made the process very easy.
