“Escape” to a Waterfront Artist’s Home on Secluded Evergreen Point, Taunton Bay

Thank you for letting us rent your beautiful home. We really enjoyed our stay here while visiting Acadia NP. The views and setup of the house were perfect. We would love to stay here again someday.

Escape is our favorite place to come and relax. It is peaceful and beautiful. Easy to get to Acadia for hiking. Mark is very easy to communicate with. And the sunsets are magnificent!

ESCAPE on Evergreen Point is a lovely, large house. You cannot beat the location just feet away from the bay. Also, it is just north and east of MDI but an easy drive to Acadia. Also an easy drive to the Schoodic Penninsula that we also love. I would rent this property again in a heart-beat!

We loved our stay at “escape”. Beautiful home and location. Private and peaceful but close enough to Acadia and Schoodic. Would absolutely stay again.

This was a wonderful stay for us. Very clean and beautiful home. Even better than the pictures. Peaceful, quiet surroundings. Can’t ask for much more!

Beautiful property!

My family loved our stay at Escape! The house sat right on the water's edge where my kids could watch the change in the tides and search for intertidal creatures during the day and at night, we would sit on the back porch and watch the sunset over the water. The house was clean and had everything we needed for our week away. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great stay! We had a wonderful time exploring the area with our family. There were a few fruit flies in the kitchen.

My family of five had a wonderful time at the property. and exploring the Schoodic Peninsula and seeing the rest of Acadia. We really enjoyed kayaking and taking the canoes out on the bay. Sunsets with a campfire and smores were so relaxing and fun at the end of the day.

We absolutely loved our time at Escape lake house in Maine! The setting was gorgeous and cannot be beat. The view is never the same and we loved watching the changing light on the water. The house is as described in the listing and the primary bedroom and bathroom are great. Note that one of the “bathrooms” is actually in a side entry room with the washer/dryer and extra stove, and is not super private. Also, 2 of the showers are very small stand-up showers. But, that said, for just 2 of us, this was not an issue and the location and views are worth it! Mark sent lots of good info prior to our trip and we contacted him after arrival to report a potential issue that turned out to be nothing. Communication with him was fast and efficient. Overall, we really loved our stay at Escape and we found it to be a great location for exploring Acadia and the Schoodic peninsula. It was also great to just hang at the house and enjoy the wonderful, ever-changing views. Thanks to Mark for sharing Escape with us! We hope to return again soon!

This house is an escape. It has a beautiful view and it is quiet and serene. Anyone staying in the loft needs to come down to the first floor to use the bathroom. Property is approx. 45 mins from Bar Harbor.

Amazing spot! Secluded, beautiful sunsets and loved watching the tide change. We saw seals, eagles and all types of seagulls. Made lobsters multiple times. Our dogs really enjoyed the cove. Such a great spot! Only recommendation would be to note in the listing that the fireplace is “non working” or not for guest use.

Waking up every morning to the view in the waterfront and seeing the stars on a clear night was truly one of the great assets of this location. Property owner was responsive and helpful when needed. Looking forward to going back.

Escape was a perfect oasis for our time in Maine! It was a peaceful, quiet, secluded location where we spent time canoeing, fishing, and exploring the beauty of the Taunton Bay nature and wildlife. We found it to be a manageable distance from Bar Harbor and Acadia, the quiet side of Mount Desert Island, and Schoodic Peninsula. The amenities of the property were more than satisfactory and the invaluable insight into the area from the hosts helped make our stay memorable. Cannot recommend enough!

The location is very beautiful with gorgeous views when the sunsets. Extremely clean. Just a great house for a quiet and relaxing vacation. Acadia/Bar Harbor is a good 45 minute drive from house. Ellsworth with grocery stores and fast food restaurants 20 minutes. The one negative is indoor furniture is pretty uncomfortable and difficult to get on and off of since so close to the floor. Mark is great to communicate with. Easy check in/out.

Property was great. Wonderful view of the Bay. Away from Bar Harbor crowd but a nice drive down there if you wanted to. Everything is easy to get to. We came a little early in the season, so a lot of places were just opening up. But it also meant less people! Property had everything you needed. I suggest boiling your own lobster in the back with water from the bay just like owner suggested. It was great. We would definitely stay here again.

This was our second stay at Escape and we loved it just as much, if not more, than our first stay (if thats even possible!). This is a clean, extremely well stocked, beautiful property and location. It truly checks all the boxes both in terms of the property, location, and host. We couldnt find fault with anything if our lives depended on it! Plenty of kitchenware for us to cook what we wanted to, and the basic spices and plenty of utensils. The house is stocked with anything we could have needed and was cozy, welcoming and extremely clean. The location is quiet and private and all the info provided is great. I almost hate to rave so much about it for fear we may have trouble getting a spot next year!
