Take our view of the Prospect Harbor Lighthouse with your morning coffee this summer, disturbed only by the fishing of eagles and ospreys. Walk for miles along the granite beaches of our neighboring nature preserve, pick blueberries, play on our sand beach, or explore some of the best tidal pools of Hancock County.
We have a peek at Cadillac mountain of Acadia National Park from the floor to peak windows on our front wall. We’re isolated down a half mile long private drive, but just around the corner from the Schoodic Peninsula and an easy drive to Mt Desert Island, or take the ferry to Bar Harbor from nearby Winter Harbor.
The house sleeps six, with a queen downstairs, and a queen and two singles in the loft. We have a single bathroom with a shower. We rent whole weeks with Sunday check in and out. The kitchen is well equipped to prepare the local lobsters, clams or mussels any way you like, or you can grill your daily catch on the deck. The newly updated kitchen has new stove, dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator. There is now plenty of counter and storage space. Since we love to cook, there are good knives and plenty of tools. We’ve provided a gas fireplace, washer and dryer. You have to provide lemons, butter, bikes and kayaks.

    Perfect get away from a fast paced lifestyle. Don’t expect to sit and watch TV, sitting on the deck overlooking the bay is the best entertainment you will find. Everything was perfect

    Fabulous secluded cottage! Check in was easy with lockbox, very clean and inviting. Communication with Martha was great, always responsive. I only wish we could have stayed longer than 5 days!

    This property was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. The view was spectacular and the location was perfect. So glad we had the opportunity to stay. Check in was super easy and the kitchen had everything we needed.

    What a gem! Shortly after arriving, my wife and I agreed that renting this house is one of the best things we’ve ever done. The setting is incredible! The attention to detail at the property is the best we’ve experienced with any rental. The proximity to the Schoodic portion of Acadia National Park is very convenient. And Me & Ben’s Dairy Creme is not to be missed for ice cream and custard! We’ll be recommending this place to our friends & family and hope to be back ourselves!

    8 years later we returned to this little slice of heaven. Very very quiet, what the lobster boats come, collect their lobsters in the morning and listen to the sound of the ocean while you sleep. No Wi-Fi or really any TV but that’s the best kind of vacation. Played board games, watched seals and collected rocks. Thank you for sharing your wonderful place with us.

    We loved our stay in Martha's beautiful, well-equipped, and welcoming home. The access to the rocky shore, views of the water, glimpses of porpoises, seals, otters, loons, and eagles--all of this meant that whenever we were home we had so much wild nature to enjoy. We were also amazed at how easy it was to get over to the quieter Schoodic section of Acadia for hiking, running, and tide pooling. Really, this place is ideal for having time to yourself AND getting out to enjoy nearby recreational areas with minimal driving and crowds. Martha makes every part of the stay easy and enjoyable.

    It was awesome. Total privacy. View of water with lots of wildlife. Saw 2 Eagles, hummingbirds, deer, dragonflies, red squirrel and turkey flocks. House was great on water with views in multiple directions. Had everything you could need.

    What a beautiful spot! The water, the rocks, the sky! And we live in a beautiful spot in Vermont, but miss the ocean. And Schoodic Point, one of the best places on earth, is nearby. The cottage is comfortable and felt friendly and welcoming. Staying there for even just a week did us good!

    We loved our stay at this charming cabin. It was exactly as described and the oceanfront was so much fun to explore. The owners were fantiastic and answered all of our questions. The kitchen is very well stocked and the knives are actually usable. The beds are all very comfortable. It’s a bit of a drive to Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor but Schoodic point is fun as well. Verizon phones work great here for when you are planing your next adventure. We will definitely remember this place when we return.
