Waterfront Prospect Harbor Cottage: Yard, Fire Pit

This is a beautiful property in a forested quiet area and the charming cottage is really nicely designed, decorated, and appointed. Our hosts were just as wonderful! The quiet roads through the forest gave us endless walks with frequent views of inlets and lakes, and occasional interactions with friendly and interesting local people. Acadia Ntl park is an easy drive away and it is amazing. We loved so many things about this property and area and we can't wait to go back.

What a wonderful stay at Tranquil Retreat! Visiting the Schoodic Peninsula for an art residency, I was seeking a rental that would provide a quiet and restorative space when not working in the studio nearby. This apartment was perfect, and I look forward to returning. Communication was timely, friendly, and informative. There was a welcome basket full of goodies upon arrival! The owners next door were helpful and responsive, while not at all intrusive. The space was tastefully decorated, extremely clean, neat, and equipped with everything one might need. What really completed this gorgeous home away from home were the ocean views, sounds, autumn color, and the deck from which to enjoy them all with coffee or wine, which I enjoyed even with the chilly October temps.

This property was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The apartment has been well cared for and offers all of the amenities for a fabulous stay. We were greated with a very much appreciated goodie basket of snacks and a kind welcome message from the owner. This was welcome as we arrived after driving many hours that day.Communication with the owner was excellent. The location is near the Schoodic Peninsula which is a wonderful area to explore. I highly recommend this property.

The cottage was super clean and had everything you would need to enjoy your stay. Enjoyed the view of the harbor from the deck and relaxing out by the fire pit in the afternoon. The hosts were very friendly and kind but also unobtrusive. Would definitely recommend and book again!

We spent 10 days in this lovely, quiet place. The cottage is beautifully made and outfitted. It feels spacious, and the artwork, furniture, and kitchen equipment, and bathroom supplies are all very nice. It has everything needed to live comfortably and really relax. The views out every window are pretty and the balcony overlooking the lovely yard, trees, and ocean was the best place to sit and enjoy coffee, or the moon. The quiet roads in this area offer long walks through forest with frequent views of ocean, inlet, or lake. Acadia National Park is close and amazing. Our hosts were so lovely - relaxed, and generous, and fun to talk with. They gave us good advice whenever we asked. We look forward to returning to see them as well as their beautiful part of the world.

Quiet location, nice views, close to Acadia.

This was an amazing place - beautiful views, spotless and designed to make you feel the airy-ness of the place. Couldn’t have asked for nicer place and hosts

This cottage and location is perfect in every way! The cottage is lovely, with attention to every detail. Very updated and very well stocked with everything you could need. The bed is very comfortable. Lots of amenities. Tastefully decorated. The property is right on the water and the views are breathtaking. We sat on the deck each morning for our breakfast and tranquil is the best description. Quiet! And we occasionally heard the call of the loons! Bar Harbor, and all it has to offer is about an hour drive, and we did go over there each day. But it was well worth the drive to be away from all of the noise and commercialism in the evenings and mornings. I cannot recommend this cottage enough !

Our stay at Tranquil Retreat was delightfull. The Cottage was well equipped and nicely decorated. It was private and very tranquil setting. The owners, Debbie and John were helpfull and friendly.

Lovely property and sweet owners! We felt right at home. We got to see the moonlight over the ocean watching the tide come in over the rocks.

I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful waterfront property. It is perfect for a couple's escape. We were looking to be away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, and this stay fit that. The kitchen was gorgeous and had everything I needed to cook. The balcony was a peaceful place to eat dinner while listening to the waves. The hosts communicates quickly but also gave all the privacy we craved. If I'm ever back in Maine, I will definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed the location of this quaint home that had easy access to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The property manager made us feel at home with a welcome basket. We found the directions very accurate and were able to take advantage of hikes during the day on the schoodic penisula as well as the firepit right on site along the shoreline to close our our evenings. The air conditioning window units cooled down the house if they were on for a few hours. The wash machine machine was a plus and there was a cooler in addition to bug spray and a lighter available for adventuring! We enjoyed our stay and experience in Maine with this great stay ❤️
