We were very happy with all aspects of our visit to this lovely cottage. It’s located right on Blue Hill Bay; there was plenty of room for the two of us; it was quiet and peaceful and the hosts Carol and Leslie were great. They responded immediately to any question or issue that we had. We’ve been renting properties in the Blue Hill area for over 30 years, and this was definitely one of the best.

Wonderful Stay!

The cottage and its location were both perfect for our stay. The cottage was perfectly clean and comfortable and with views from inside and on the deck or lawn that we loved. Carol and Leslie were very easy to communicate with and were very helpful when we arrived. We recommend the cottage to all!

Ravens Nest- great vacation

We especially enjoyed the outdoor accommodations. Beautiful sunrises were enjoyed from the deck as well as from the water’s edge. We loved watching the boats, the tides rise, the abundance of nature and honesty even enjoyed watching a thunder storm roll in from the gazebo. Its a great location for all the areas we wanted to visit and Maine seafood never disappoints.

Blue Hill cottage

Location and setting (and weather!) were perfect. Had a lot of fun paddling around on the kayaks and watching the seals, loons, cormorants, jumping fish and the occasional porpoise.

I've been vacationing in Maine with my family for my whole life and it truly is vacationland. The Raven's Nest is a beautiful cottage with full amenities and unbeatable location. I look forward to staying there again next year and the years to come.

Mesmerizing View

Our stay was everything we expected and more. The location was very tranquil and peaceful, the cottage was very comfortable. On our first morning we were treated to a bald eagle flying out from the tree in front of the porch onto the water, and each day we watched the loons floating by. Our host, Carol was very welcoming and brought us fresh vegetables from her garden.

Wonderful location with updated amenities

My family has been coming to this area of Maine for over 30 years and it's always enjoyable. With wonderful views of the bay, the Raven's Nest cottage is the perfect location for beach walks, lobster cookouts, and relaxing. The property is comfortable and clean with updated amenities in the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry area. The host is friendly and responsive.

Very comfortable cottage on the bay

Property was comfortable and provided anything you might need during your stay. The owner’s were welcoming. We enjoyed the wonderful views of the bay and spent much of our time on the deck watching the wildlife. It was exactly what we needed to relax and explore the area, including Acadia National Park.

Relaxing getaway

Enjoyed our stay at Ravens Nest. The view right outside the sliding doors is beautiful. Carol and Leslie were wonderful hosts and even shared their garden vegetables with us. There are hiking trails all around and Acadia is less than an hour away. It was nice to come back after a day of hiking and just relax on the deck. Thank you Carol and Leslie for sharing your little slice of heaven with us.

Perfect

Our stay here was outstanding. It was so quite, so peaceful, so beautiful. It was difficult for us to make ourselves leave just to explore the area. The cottage is charming and well appointed with nice linens, comfortable bed and everything you'll need for a lovely stay. Our hosts were the best; thoughtful & helpful without ever being intrusive. If you want to stay on the Maine coast, don't miss this lovely place. We saw loons, cormorants, ducks and seals every day along one eagle siting.

Raven's Nest-a bit of Heaven

Particularly impressed with kindness and generosity of our hosts, Leslie and Carol. Cottage extremely comfortable and well equipped and setting at water's edge could not be beat. They kept us amply supplied with fresh veggies from their garden which was a real plus. Extremely helpful with discovering the area. Beautiful and serene. Highly recommend to anyone.

Beautiful View

We very much enjoyed our stay, we stayed 14 days and it still was not enough. The house has everything you need and the owners could not have been more helpful. We bought lobster at the Sleigh Bell & Lobster 3 different nights and it was delicious every time, they will cook the lobster for you and they are only a few minutes up the road. I would recommend this cottage to anyone who likes to be out of the busy area to just sit back and relax but it is not too far away from Bar Harbor. Thank you Leslie and Carol for a wonderful vacation. Cheryl
