    Absolutely beautiful place to stay during an Acadia getaway. My husband and I spent our honeymoon here and loved how quiet and private our stay was. The property is immaculately kept and just a short drive from everything you want to do on the island. We will absolutely stay here again when we come back to Acadia!

    Clean and cozy place to stay right off the water. Bar Harbor is 20 min from the location so an easy drive to go to dinner or the national park. Would stay there again.

    Perfect place for two people exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor! Loved coming back to such a peaceful and quiet cabin at the end of a busy day. Super clean and had everything we needed. Very easy check in process and great communication with host!

    The boathouse is a beautiful place to stay. Just sitting in the quiet overlooking the lake is enough to bring me back. I am glad there was not much available on the other side of the island as it was busy. Staying in this side of the island and driving to bar harbor gave us a chance to explore the island on our way over. Very much recommend this place, it is all it claims to be.

    We loved staying here, just sitting on the dock drinking my morning coffee made it all worth it. It’s a little slice of heaven.

    The boathouse provided such a lovely home base for my partner and I as we explored Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park for a week. Everything we needed was provided, from extra linens to laundry supplies to kayaks! My partner wants to send a special shout out to the small round fan that gave the perfect amount of white noise and helped him sleep so soundly each night. The boathouse is 20-30 minutes from Bar Harbor/Acadia depending, which was a great distance for us to have a quiet, peaceful stay away from tourists and traffic without taking a significant amount of time to travel. We could easily hike in the morning, return to the boathouse to rest and clean up, then go out to Bar Harbor, Bass Harbor, or Southwest Harbor for dinner and shopping. We already can’t wait to return!

    The Boathouse was just the perfect place for my husband and I to stay while exploring Acadia. The view from the dock was so serene and the perfect spot to enjoy a good book. The Boathouse itself was just the perfect amount of space for two. The home was clean, heating/cooling system worked great, bathroom was spacious, and close to bar harbor and other Acadia area attractions. Would definitely stay again.

    We enjoyed this cozy stay for two - it was a perfect size for us, had all we needed (except a washer and dryer - but no room for it). The bathroom is beautifully done with a 5 fee5 filed shower and fluffy towels. Bed in this studio was comfortable with ample blankets. The host supplied a notebook with helpful information about the area and visiting Acadia National Park which is 4 miles away. We did not get directions from VRBO but the host was kind enough to provide them when asked. Our stay was too short to use the row boat or canoe but if we return, we’ll plan to try them out on the pond. We recommend this stand alone studio-house to others.

    We enjoyed the peaceful pond and access to the boats. The boathouse was cozy and stocked with comforts of home. The bed was very comfy too. Location to Acadia and Bar Harbor were perfect!
