    We loved this beautiful space on the ocean to wake up to and come home to. The design and layout is unique and it has stunning views all around! Communication was great and this home away from home had everything you could need with personal touches. It could be a romantic getaway or a fun family trip. There are kayaks available to take out with signed release and tons of games to play. We loved how we felt completely secluded down a long path where deer were always waiting for us in the fall foliage. Master bed was comfy and there were fans and heaters in each room along with ceiling fan. Plenty of towels and space to just enjoy!

    This is our second stay here, and we had the same peaceful and magical experience as last time! The home is positioned so every room has a view of the bay. We have two young kids and we all enjoyed the small beach, hammock, deck, ferns, games, and proximity to Acadia’s Schoodic Peninsula. The owner is so kind, responsive and helpful. We look forward to next year!

    Absolutely stunning views. The house was immaculate and fully stocked. Enjoyed s’mores by the fire pit!! Our grandgirls loved exploring the shore. Nature abounds!!! Beautiful sunset. Close to Acadia and all our adventures. Very thankful to have been able to stay. Only suggestion that our family thought….. maybe a hot tub!!!

    This house is beautiful. It is set back from the road and private. The master bedroom windows look right out onto the water. Acadia National Park, restaurants and stores are a short drive away.The kitchen is very well equipped. We do a lot of cooking and cooked here 11 out of 12 days. The host/owner is warm and responsive. She made sure our stay was very comfortable. This house is pet friendly and very clean. We loved bringing our two pets on this trip. We stayed over Christmas and New Years and the scenery was beautiful.We very much enjoyed our stay and plan to return. We highly recommend this house and this host!

    We loved our stay here: the home blends into the forest and allows the ferns, forest and water be the feature. Our family of 4 and pup were comfortable and I loved the master with en suite shower facing the forest. Ample linens, kitchenware, along with outdoor seating and hammocks to spend time and spread out. We enjoyed the tiny beach on the bay and went swimming and took floats out almost daily. Thank you for a magical stay!

    We had a wonderful week at this unique home on Taunton Bay. Quiet, peaceful setting with water access and views of the Bay. We loved showering in the spacious walk-in shower with windows looking into the woods. The kitchen has everything you could need, although I wished it had a slightly larger fry pan/cast iron skillet for family cooking. Plenty of things to do nearby, but our favorite was breakfasts on the huge deck with water view. Acadia and Bar Harbor are close by as well as Lamoine Beach which might just be one of the areas best kept secrets. There was great swimming and they allow dogs! Also, don’t miss the granite sculpture garden off the same road as the house. It was very cool. Great communication with the host during our stay whenever we had a question. Thanks for letting us stay at your little plot of paradise!
