About the host
Hosted by Samuel Hargraves
Come see for yourself what makes Small Cove Point so special! Commissioned by our grandfather in 1961 and built of native pine, Small Cove Point is where our entire family gathers during the month of August to reconnect, unwind, and just have fun amidst the spectacular beauty of Acadia National Park and its environs.
This is a property used by all 14 of us in August: 6 kids, 7 adults, and 1 grammy split between the Main House and the Cottage. We bring our dogs, one of which sheds fur mercilessly. (No, we do not allow pets, no matter how sweet, well trained, or well behaved. This is non-negotiable and based upon past experience).
It is clean, well-cared for, and well equipped. The furniture and upholstery are updated regularly, including recent mattresses, sheets, blankets, pillows, and towels. We also installed a modern HVAC system in 2021: each room has individual heat and A/C controls. It is a wonderful house, a wonderful property, and a wonderful place to be. While you may find clues that others have been there before - a finger smudge on a window for example - please know that everything is clean, tidy and squared away.
The cleaners are thorough and use antibacterial products. Yet you may come across a dog hair in the living room, mismatched silverware, Tupperware without a lid or a chipped china plate. You may also find canned goods, an unopened box of quinoa or gluten-free spaghetti, a bottle of hot sauce, maybe a half bag of perfectly good coffee. Help yourself.
We work hard to ensure that this well-loved and well-used home is well maintained. Please remember that while you are a paying guest you are a guest nonetheless. I will work hard to correct any deficiencies.
Why they chose this property
Simple, comfortable, and ready for you. This is a wonderful gathering place for friends and family, with a large living room/dining room, fully stocked eat in kitchen, and expansive deck. Where else can you be on the water and surrounded by granite mountains? There is plenty of room to spread out: in the house, on the property, and throughout Acadia. Take a swim in front of the house, watch the wildlife and boats from the deck, take a hike in the Park, a stroll through Northeast Harbor, a water taxi to Isleford (Little Cranberry), Great Cranberry, Swans Island or Frenchboro (Long Island).
What makes this property unique
Acclaimed by many to have the best sunset on Mt Desert! Large West facing deck. 1/4 mile of private shorefront on 15 acres. Paddle Boards, Kayaks, life vests.
