This house is beauttiful; an old historic home; surrounded by gorgeous flowering gardens; a view of Morgan Bay; lots of books;games; and located in a great spot to take advantage of Bar Harbor as well as Stonington. Rebecca and Joseph just could not be nicer and have provided you with absolutely everything that you need. I LOVED this house! Fenced in private yard for the dog. Sit and watch the fireflies at night. You will absolutely not regret staying at the Lobster Dog House - but you probably will regret leaving it and driving away…….

What a wonderful place to stay. Joseph and Rebecca saw to it we had everything we needed and shared many extra special touches. Beautiful property. The location is great if you are looking to explore Acadia as well as many other villages and towns. Loved having access to various peninsulas and thanks to our host’s recommendations we visited places that were not on our radar. Would come back in a heartbeat!

The property and our hosts were just fabulous! It was quiet, centrally located to Bar Harbor, Acadia Park, Blue Hill and Ellsworth. Our hosts, as stated, live in one half of the house, but aside from greeting us upon arrival we did not see or hear them. They were very responsive to a few messages we sent with questions. I prefer property owners to be nearby personally, which is one reason we chose this property, especially as we were three women traveling together (although Maine is a lot safer than where we all came from)! Hurricane Lee came through while we were there and our hosts made sure we were well taken care of with flashlights, generator, etc. We only lost power for a short time, but had everything we would have needed. The house is lovely, large, comfortable and nicely appointed. We enjoyed both the front and back porches, and outdoor seating as well. It was delightful sitting on the front porch having coffee in the morning, looking at the bay. We also really appreciated the kitchen! We ended up eating out a lot, but it has everything you need to cook and reheat meals, etc. We all really enjoyed our stay here immensely. Oh, and be sure to try and meet Lobster Dog-what a cutie pie!

So fortunate to find this treasure home and location. Situated on a coastal neck, Lobster Dog House provided easy access to many Downeast experiences. A lovely nearby calm beach, several heritage hiking trails, Perrys Lobster Pound are just a few immediate options nearby. Many many towns, parks, grocery stores, restaurants, Maine highlights within a short drive. Our hosts Rebecca and Joe were the ultimate hosts. They made sure we had anything we needed and complete privacy. They live on one side of the property but we never felt intruded upon. If we did pass them outside, they always asked how we were and if we needed anything.They love dogs and their sweet dog, Grizzly, greeted us with a favorite ball. We brought our 2 Boston Terriers and they felt immediately at home in the house and yard. Its an old farmhouse divided into two homes. Rarely heard the owners on the other side (only muffled just by the entry which really is just a passway) and never in the living/sleeping areas We have our own entrance, fence in yard which our dogs love, beautiful gardens (the hosts are master gardeners) three porches. Pumpkin colored old wood floors, and real vintage touches like built in cupboards and antique hardware. However, modern touches like Dish Tv, internet microwave, induction burners, and toaster oven washer and dryer and a good sized bathroom with shower and separate claw foot tub. Love the office nook upstairs with a great view. A rental we'll come back to again & again.

While the property description did mention a couple paragraphs down that the owners occupied one of two units on the property, it was not clear to me when I booked that I would be sharing a single building with the property owners. It was difficult for me to relax under these circumstances, and I felt cheated while using my limited time off from work. Since Vrbo advertises so heavily that it only rents whole homes, it should take more responsibility for scrutinizing the listings posted on its platform.

We love this property for many reasons. The decor and gardens are artistic and lovely. The area is quiet and picturesque but close to amenities. We can't say enough about our hosts Rebecca and Joe. They are very thoughtful and exemplary in hospitality. They live on the back part of the property but are never intrusive nor do we ever hear them. They love dogs and welcome well behaved ones. Our dogs love them, their sweet dog Grizzly and especially the small fenced yard provided. ❤️ we look forward to going back!

We had a lovely week staying at the lobster dog house in Surry Maine. The house exceeded our expectations. It is immaculately clean. And has lots of nice touches to make guests feel super comfortable. We could take our dogs for a nice fall walk every morning and the Wi-Fi worked great for both my husband and I to work remotely. We were in town to visit with our son that attends UMaine in Orono on the weekend. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Great stay at the Lobster Dog House. Property is conveniently located on a quiet road about a mile or so away from a picturesque beach right next to Perry’s Lobster Pound which has delicious food with an awesome view. The historic house is beyond beautiful and cheery. There was a fenced in yard specifically for guests which was great for the dog and the owners left a welcome card with dog treats and a tennis ball for my fur baby. They also included a jar of their homemade jam that was delicious. The interior of the house is super spacious and you have three beautiful bedrooms to choose from one with a partial view of the bay. The bathroom is large and included an amazing claw foot tub. I loved the details in the house which include original 1880s doorbell and stained glass window. The house is huge and feels very secluded even though it is only a few minutes drive to Ellsworth where there is a cute downtown that features great restaurants and breweries. Be sure to stop at Pugnuts for some ice cream right down the road as well and they are dog friendly. The owner of the home was easy and timely to communicate with and friendly. This is definitely a great place to stay if wanting to get a more authentic Maine experience that is not super touristy. It is only a 45 minute drive to Acadia, which we went to almost everyday and there are great shops and things to see along the way so it really was not an inconvenience. The property the house is located on is set back, secluded and nicely landscaped. My overall stay was great and I would definitely recommend this home to anyone wanting to be near Acadia. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for welcoming us and our fur baby into your home.

My husband and I stayed for just over a week in this beautiful, dog accommodating property. While we did not have our pooches along with us for this trip, we were impressed by the prompt response and the flexibility of the owners. They take pride in their property and we were very pleased with our stay. We appreciate older homes, along with their history, and liked that the location of this one was away from, but yet close enough to: Ellsworth, Acadia National Park, the Penobscot Narrows Bridge, and Fort Knox, among other nearby towns and activities. Of course, the end of vacation is always bittersweet, we enjoy our time in Maine very much and always hate to have to leave. This property was no exception to that and is definitely on our list to book again for future trips!

We loved our stay at this beautiful property. Joe and Rebecca are consierate and very hospitable without being intrusive. Although they are live behind the rental we had complete privacy. The gardens are exquisite and we loved the location. Quiet and serene with easy access to trails, restaurants, groceries. Best of all they are dog lovers and our two Boston Terri'ers were completely calm and relaxed at the property.
