Oceanside Acadia Artist's Studio with high end finishes and local character

I wanted something remote and private with views/access to water, but still a close drive to check out all the little towns and Acadia National Park. This had everything we needed. Great stay!

Joy is a pleasure to have as a host, this property is located on her family’s homestead, plenty of windows but also plenty of curtains for privacy. WiFi reception was great, there was an extender in the bungalow. You have your own parking space which is in a driveway away from the main road which felt very safe. There are trees on the property causing it to feel secluded from the road and private. The steps to the waterfront were on the other side of the lawn/property and provided for a private entrance to the cove/water. Everything in the bungalow was new, there were a lot of different cooking utensils and a 2-burner induction cooktop. After booking we received a 10 page welcome guide written by the host which has a lot of helpful advice regarding where to eat, hike, and get around, and all the information about checking in and checking out, as well as directions. One thing to note, make sure to use the proper town name as there are multiple similar addresses on the island, and the town name will help you get to the right place. 10/10 would stay here again. :)

What a wonderful little gem! The space is petite but incredibly well designed, with all the comforts you might need, including a surprisingly good little washer/dryer. The studio was immaculate with every inch used thoughtfully a from a functional perspective, but also an eye for beauty. There were large windows around half the cabin that let lots of air and light in and made it feel like “glamping” in the trees because of its location on the larger property. Only wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend!!!

We were looking for someplace to get away from busy jobs and slow down. This checked all the boxes. It was so quiet we had to adjust. Location was perfect as it was close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor to allow easy access but far enough away that you never saw the crowds. Hosts were very accommodating.

We enjoyed our stay and were very impressed with the many amenities provided. Bed was very comfortable and entire studio was very clean and newly maintained.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The space is renovated and really well done. It is so quiet and peaceful overlooking the water. If you don’t mind not being in the hustle and bustle, this is the perfect place for you. We were close to hikes in the area we wanted to do and did trips into the surrounding towns including Bar Harbor. The host, Joy, was very responsive and gave great advice on places/things to do and our trip into Bar Harbor. The only few things is that the wifi can be a bit spotty, one of the light/fan fixtures was not working (informed Joy), and the stairs to the cove were not useable as they were being re-done. I was a bit bummed we couldn’t get down to the water and utilize the beach. Overall, it’s a really beautiful studio, location and I would recommend!

We were lucky to be the very first guests to stay at this new listing. The unit was spotless, and the listing was very accurate to what was available (with the exception of the cove which was not accessible during our stay due to stair access being repaired). The unit was more secluded, but was located in the back yard of the main house. It was about 30- 35 minutes from Acadia Welcome Center and Bar Harbor, which was where we spent most of our time. The owner was friendly and easy to contact and provided helpful information about the local area. We had a wonderful time during our Acadia hiking trip!
