Unique Slate-sided Artist's House in Quiet Rural area near Acadia National Park

We loved our stay at Slate House - a beautiful custom-built home with amazing eclectic art and decor. The house was spotless and well-appointed - very cool industrial kitchen! We enjoyed slow mornings on the patio out back enjoying the quiet scenery, but the house is also very convenient to all points on Mount Desert Island. Cherie is a fantastic host - excellent communication, thoughtful and accommodating, and just plain fun to talk to.

Excellent

Tucked the woods on the “quiet side” of the island. This cottage has so much lovingly crafted detail. Ideal for two people, but can be for four. The second bedroom and bath are in the walk-out lower level. Super dog friendly, but the owner requests that dogs be leashed on the property to protect her extensive gardening and that they stay off the furniture. The decor is eclectic and artistic and the place has a very full shelf of books to choose from. If you bring your dog, be sure to check out Little Long Lake park. We all loved it!

We had a lovely week at this house. It was very quiet and private as it was set back in the woods. We saw some deer around the property. The piano was wonderful. We had the windows open the entire time. The air is so clean here! Every day we went out either for dinner or an activity. I’ve had our dog with us and she loved visiting here.

Initially disappointed. Foul musty odor upon entrance. Not air conditioned/ wasn’t aware of this. Owner acknowledged having sump pump problems and quickly got this repaired. Had problems w gas stove and no use of oven but able to make it work. House was quaint but lower bedroom had spiders I had to kill and moldy shower curtain. Owner was very nice. Had to go out to buy bounce sheets and candles to help house smell better. Would look for different home to stay in if would return.

Property was perfect for stay on the Quiet Side. You feel like you are in middle of the woods, just sounds of nature. Cabin was clean and well appointed, Cherie was very responsive to all communication. Very easy access to harbor towns and west side Acadia trails.

Beautiful handcrafted home in a very rural and quiet setting. Wonderful and relaxing to return to after a day of exploring Acadia and surrounding areas. Everything you need is provided. Great water pressure, comfortable sleeping and just a charming home. Cherie is wonderful and friendly and easily accessible if need be. The visit from the porcupine wandering through the property was a pleasant surprise.

The Slate House was a great spot to stay. It’s a quite unique home and in a very quiet setting. Cherie was very welcoming and friendly and easy to talk with. The house was very clean and comfortable. Thanks Cherie!!

Cherie's place was wonderful! My husband and I spent four nights here for our visit to Acadia and loved it. It is tucked back in the woods on a beautiful property and was very quiet and peaceful, which was lovely to come back to every evening after the hustle and bustle of the park and Bar Harbor. The kitchen was very well equipped and we cooked lots of our meals at the house. Cherie was an excellent host and was very communicative and happy to answer any questions. Would love to stay again the next time we visit the area.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Slate House. Cherie is providing a house that is relaxing and surrounds you with everything you need to feed your spirit! The house itself is very special. The house is nestled in the woods with perennial gardens. Within the house you will be surrounded by art. The house itself is situated just 3 miles from the Southwest Harbor and within 3 miles of Acadia west island hiking trails. You will be a max of a 20 minutes drive to the Acadia National Park Beach entrance. Thank you to Cherie for sharing her house.
