TreeTops shorefront 3 story cottage/views. Schoodic & Acadia NP nearby. Kayaks!

John and Ann are superb hosts. I've never stayed in a VRBO where a bottle of wine, cheese and crackers, and a bowl of fruit were waiting for us when we checked in, or been offered a two-hour boat-ride on the owners' boat. The house was just as advertised -- gorgeous views of the bay from every level, a variety of outdoor seating options, and a third-floor loft to retreat to on a rainy day to watch a movie on Netflix, or to do an exercise class on Zoom, or to do some art or writing at the little desk. Kayaks were available for exploring the shore, beautiful flower gardens being actively worked on by John and Ann, and a dense bit of forest with a variety of conifers and deciduous trees hosting many birds. The Schoodic Peninsula was a great place for birdwatchers during the first week of June -- warblers and flycatchers and thrushes galore, singing their hearts out. We never felt the need to go to Mt. Desert Island, having been there often over the years, because there are so many preserves on the Schoodic Peninsula with hiking trails -- we found a different place to explore every day during the week we were there. If you need to escape from the busy-ness of life, this is the perfect place to do so.

The Treetops property was absolutely gorgeous. The cottage is a few steps down the path from the main residence, which is lined with beautiful gardens and a dry stream bed. Further down the hill there’s delightful little spot with a deck and chairs where you can look over the water. There’s an abundance of windows in the cottage that let in lots of light and offers beautiful vistas at every turn. My favorite spot was a reading nook where you could sit with your choice from dozens of great titles they have tucked around the house and still gaze at Cadillac Mountain in the distance.The small kitchen is well appointed with everything that you could need. John was a thoughtful host and made sure that we had everything we needed to be comfortable. He took my husband on a boat ride where they saw seals in Flanders Bay.We can’t wait to come back!

Everything about this property met or exceeded expectations. John the host was very welcoming and helpful getting us settled & oriented. Sadly the weather didn't cooperate so we were not able to take full advantage of all the amenities; e.g., kayaks. Treetops is a great place to anchor and explore the surrounding area. Plus the views are awesome!

Treetops exceded our expectations. The cabin is somewhat secluded in the woods with a beautiful view of the bay and Acadia's mountains. It was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. John was friendly and helpful but not intrusive. We enjoyed the use of the kayaks.

The property far exceeded our expectations. Everything was perfect and we were well taken care of by our hosts. We were very comfortable inside and enjoyed the outside of the property as well. The views were spectacular from all 3 levels of the home. We took advantage of using the kayaks provided in the bay. The location was convenient to Acadia NP, Schoodic Point, grocery stores, restaurants and gas.

We had a remarkable stay. John and Ann were great hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. The surroundings were absolutely beautiful and stunning. We could not have picked a more perfect place. Everyday was breathtaking. All our accommodations were perfect. It as so hard to leave. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

This site was a gorgeous house and location, with stunning views from the back deck and upper screened-in porch, and a 4-min. walk to the boathouse and water. Also wonderfully generous hosts, easy access to the Schoodic Peninsula and Mt. Desert Island, and a very comfy king-size bed!

We couldn't have picked a more perfect spot to celebrate our 45th anniversary. Not only did we have totally sunny days throughout, but this adorable cottage provided everything we hoped for. The views from all three levels of the house were stunning! Waking up every morning in the beautiful, light-filled bedroom was perfect. There are so many charming spaces inside and outside the house to relax in.Our favorite finds this week: Sundew Trail near Schoodic Point; Grindstone Neck (exquisite in the late afternoon); Jordan Pond trail loop; the whole town of Winter Harbor, especially Humble Grumble Cafe; Musquito Brewing Company; Maine Kiln Works on Gouldsboro Road; and Tunk Joy Bakery in Steuben (both their amazing Thursday night sourdough wood-fired pizzas and their Saturday morning brunch; both events also had live music!)John and Ann were such warm, friendly and gracious hosts. The gardens and grounds are full of gorgeous flowers, and we loved the dahlia bouquet that greeted us on the screened porch, as well as the cheese, crackers, fruit and wine! We thoroughly enjoyed the ride on their Downeast cruiser one afternoon, accompanied by the delightful dog, Brandy -- what a special experience! Thank you both for sharing your home and this peaceful spot in the world. Hope to return someday!

Absolutely best VRBO experience we have ever had! Our hosts were awesome and the cottage was beautiful and fully equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our week exploring Acadia on both MDI and the Schoodic peninsula. Highly recommend- our host, John, invited us for a ride in Frenchman’s Bay on his boat and with my hubby suffering from a touch of motion sickness from a sailing excursion previously we had to decline. Enjoyed a happy hour with our hosts in their gorgeous main house overlooking the meticulously maintained gardens. It was a pleasure to meet such wonderful hosts and would love to come back!

A great stay, in a great location, with great views and easy water access. The hosts are welcoming, knowledgeable, and eager to make you feel comfortable. The cottage is three floors, with a superb deck. Every floor offers great views of Frenchman's Bay and Acadia. Comfortable and cosy, you are literally among the treetops! A grand stay.

This is a marvelous property. The house is beautifully done and tastefully decorated, The hosts are lovely people and were eager to ensure our stay was comfortable as possible. We could not have asked for more.

Wonderful location with extraordinarily gracious hosts. Beautiful waterfront, and many watercraft choices. Close enough to Acadia to enjoy the Park, but far enough away to avoid the craziness. We enjoyed our week so much we’ll be doubling it next year.

Beautiful stay and was everything the posting said it would be. The hosts are extremely generous in sharing their property, gardens and kayaks to access the quiet water off of their property. We loved it.

What a wonderful stay we had! It was awesome to have the perspective of the tree tops, the water, and the Acadia Hills. The cottage is so well done and peaceful and the gardens so enchanting. The enclosed porch, large deck and master bedroom all with a view make this a special private getaway. Impeccable hospitality, with just the right amount of communication. Easy access to Acadia National Park, especially Schoodic point which is our favorite and love the sunset view from Cadillac Mountain. John found and mailed a lost cargo strap, that’s service supreme! All in all the perfect place to be on retreat enjoying one of the best parts of Maine.

Perfect location to get everywhere we wanted to go along with the friendliest hosts!

We’ve have stayed at many VRBO’s, this was by far the best experience we’ve ever had. John and Ann went above and beyond making sure our home was well stocked, clean and comfortable. The surrounding gardens are gorgeous and the view from the screened in porch was simply beautiful. We can’t wait to return.

This was our 3rd year staying at this cottage and we loved everything about it! Location, perfect! View, perfection! Our hosts, amazing! Everything you need is at your fingertips and the cottage was perfect, as usual. John, Ann and Brandy are wonderful hosts and we will be back for year 4 next year!

The property is amazing! Beauty every where you look. So peaceful and relaxing. John and Ann were wonderful hosts. John helped carry our luggage to the cottage. They left us a bottle of wine and cheese and crackers upon check-in. Very helpful with things to do in the area. Lovely little tree top cottage. Convenient to area attractions. Would stay here again in the future.

Every day was different....the sky, the water, the weather...and it was all breathtakingly beautiful. In a prime location to explore all of Acadia National Park, Tree Tops is the perfect place for a home base with views and amenities to make a day in a lovely experience. The hosts, John and Ann see to your every need while preserving your privacy.

Truly words can not describe how absolutely enchanting this stay was. Our hosts were the most gracious we have ever experienced with VRBO. The property absolutely exceeded expectations; the VRBO pics and description just can not truly depict the magic of this place!! We packed a cooler, took some blankets and spent an afternoon on the dock. Stunning. I cooked several meals in the most well appointed VRBO kitchen I have ever been in. Thank you. We can't wait to come back!

This cottage is appropriately referred to as in the tree tops, close to the main house yet very private. Very beautiful and extremely gracious of the host to allow full use of his property walking through the gardens and walking down to the water. John is nearby either in person or by phone to support you and whatever you need for your trip. The bottom line is would I stay here again and the answer is yes and that’s all you need to know

Wow, what a fantastic place to stay during our visit to the Northeastern shore of Maine! Everything about the place was first class, starting with John, the owner! He formally greeted us and helped us carry our luggage to our phenomenal retreat in the woods overlooking the beauty of his land and the ocean in the near distance! This was a short drive to Bar Harbor and many other scenic towns and Acadia National Forest! We were here 6 nites and utilized every minute of our time to enjoy the sites, the hiking, the FOOD and great place to stay. I could go on and on about be! I want to thank John again for the welcoming basket of treats, and the fabulous and very informative boat ride! AND, I can’t forget our “official” BRANDY the dog! It made us want to find a dog just like her! Thanks again, John for everything!

We had a wonderful time at the Treetop Cottage. Beautiful views of the bay, along with lovely gardens surrounding the homes helped us relax from our long drive. The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed. It was so nice to return to after our adventures during the day! We highly recommend. If we ever get back to Maine, we would definitely stay again!

It was a beautiful, clean, tree house with gardens, and beach front views. The hosts greeted us and left fresh flowers and cheese, fruit and wine. We felt very special. They also took us out in their boat which we will always remember. We would stay here again. It was wonderful.

Quiet, comfortable and convenient location. The hosts are superb! Enjoyed visiting many harbor towns and coastal sites.

Our stay at the treetops was absolutely perfect. John, Ann, and Brandy were the best hosts you could imagine. The gift basket, kayaks, the wonderful boat ride were over the top.There is so much to do in the area and on the grounds.My wife and I couldn’t think of anything that could be improved on.Really hated to leave.Thank you again for sharing your slice of heaven,John and Ann. Oh yeah and Brandy.
