Direct WATERFRONT, Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island!

This was the perfect home for our family’s bucket list trip to Maine. The property is very private with gorgeous natural beauty creating the ideal setting for relaxing with family. The views from the dock and shoreline are absolutely breathtaking. You can watch lobster boats haul in their catch each morning. We even saw a seal swimming near the dock. Our children loved the waterfront swing and exploring the trails surrounding house. On a clear night, the dock is the perfect place to stargaze. We also enjoyed using the fire pit to make s’mores.The house had plenty of space for our group of 4 adults and 4 children. The large windows and high ceilings create an open and airy feel. We often found ourselves commenting on how clean and high-quality everything was. The kitchen was well-stocked and we were easily able to find everything we needed. The large kitchen table was perfect for our family, and the many couches and chairs in the upper and lower living rooms were great spots to rest after a long day of siteseeing in Acadia. Outside, the home has an expansive wraparound porch on the lower level as well as an outdoor kitchen. An upper level porch provides even more scenic views. Both porches are well-equipped with plenty of outdoor furniture. On top of the beauty of the home and property, the owner was very responsive and helpful. If you’re looking for a beautiful and peaceful Quiet Side getaway, you will not be disappointed with this home!

Great view of the ocean, very clean property that is well equipped. Would stay again

My husband and I took our family to Maine for the first time this summer and had the good fortune of staying in Sara’s well appointed home. Everything we could need from games to kitchen supplies were considered and top notch. The atmosphere of the home was warm and we all felt right at home. Right on the water, you could watch the tide come and go. Our children loved exploring the coastline and we all gathered around the bonfire in the evenings after long days of hiking and enjoying the beauties of the park. There are certainly perks to staying on the slower side of the island and avoiding some of the crowds. The less crowded trails on this side are also nice and boast amazing views as well! The drive to Bar Harbor wasn’t bad, usually 30min, and we scheduled our activities and dinner reservations around the times we wanted to head that way.

We stayed in this beautiful home for a few days in April just after the park opened. We arrived a bit earlier than expected & were greeted by our host, Sara, and her dog, Austin (who always stays outside). While Sara tended to the house, we sat by the water, played fetch with Austin & enjoyed the amazing view. Once inside, Sara took care of every detail with a hand-written note detailing her favorite hikes in the area & restaurant recommendations. Laundry room, bathroom, living room & bedroom on the ground floor. 2 bedrooms, bathroom, living room & kitchen upstairs. Over the next few days, we spent most our time in the park (about 20-30 min drive). After dinner in Bar Harbor, we came back to the house & enjoyed sitting outside in the evening. The star gazing was unreal! Overall, a beautiful home in a quiet, secluded area on the waterfront. Sara was a fantastic host & was available by text for any questions/issues. Highly recommend booking your stay here! Would love to come back!

Beautiful home in a beautiful setting! Sara was very responsive and helpful!

We had a wedding around the corner from this beautiful cottage. We were lucky enough to find this cottage and book it It was right on the water and everything needed inside and outside there was a dock and a fire pit and we both

What a wonderful location to enjoy all the beauties of Maine. Sara was an excellent host and went out of her way to make our trip special. The house is absolutely gorgeous and fully stocked to make it feel like a home away from home. A must stay!

Lovely home in a very secluded area with beautiful views. Highly recommend.

`A beautiful home and the remote location gave us the peace and solitude we had envisioned. Would definitely rent again.

We had a great trip to Maine and the DUCK DUCK GOOSE house is set in an amazing serene beautiful setting. We woke up when the sun rose and went to sleep when the sun set. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises to watch each day even with different weather days.. Rocky beach had lots of climbing adventures for the kids .Being on the quiet side of the island was great. We were able to get to everything easily. Southwest Harbor is nearby for some good food. Great location and house!
