    This was our 4th stay in this amazing home. Two weeks went by too quickly. The home is the perfect combination of elegance and comfort. The views are mesmerizing and always changing with the tides and winds. We love eating outdoors and seeing the seals, loons, eagle and porpoises. We rent a canoe and standup boards and love exploring the bay. The town offers many great dining options. (Arborvine is our favorite!) Can't wait to return!

    This was our third stay at this lovely home. The house and property is perfect for families. Comfortable yet elegant. So many wildlife sightings including seals, eagles, deet and wild turkeys in the area. The town is lovely as well with great hiking and close proximity to Acadia. Truly a magical place. room to spread out

    The house is fantastic and just as pictured. The setting is warm and homey and very comfortable for the 5 adults when we had everyone together. We loved the small office, screened porch, and large family room. Being right on the water gave wonderful views just stepping out of the house. Sighted seals, loons, and a pair of bald eagles nests nearby for a daily visit. Couldn't ask for more! The communication from Karen was outstanding. e weathered Hurricane Lee during our stay, and the power went out. We didn't notice it at first because of the large generator kicked on immediately. When the generator shut down, a call to Karen, and the caretaker was there in 10 minutes to get it back on.

    A five star home and location. This is our second time staying at Middlegrounds. We had friends with us the first week and family the 2nd week. The home is absolutely perfect for both. Incredible water views and beautifully landscaped property. The home is just perfect..casual elegance and space for everyone to spreadout. We rented standup boards and kayaks and enjoyed seeing the seals and loons, lobster boats and sailboats. 2 weeks flew by and we are all so sad to leave this perfect Maine vacation home!

    An awesome week with friends. Middlegrounds had everything we needed, plus. The house accommodated us very well and came equipped with everything. It was very convenient visiting Bar Harbor and other coastal and historic towns. Nothing but compliments from my group. Karen was great to work with. I highly recommend.

    We had a wonderful stay at Middlegrounds. The house was lovely and well stocked, with beautiful views from all rooms. The kids loved the playroom and the fireplace made for a cozy November stay. Karen was very responsive and made the process very easy.

    We had an amazing experience at Middlegrounds! The house is absolutely beautiful, wonderfully spacious and equipped, and magnificently located. An amazing place to be close to nature while in the comfort of home. The screen porch is perfection, as is the deck. Highly recommend.

    This property is the hallmark of architectural and natural beauty. The house has a spectacular view of the ocean, in a quiet bay, with fish, seals, sailboats and kayaks. The garden has native flowers attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. The interior is very comfortable and welcoming for a large family. It is the perfect place for a family reunion .

    This was our second stay at Middlegrounds and we loved it as much as we did the first time! The kids loved getting in the COLD water and the adults enjoyed morning coffee and afternoon cocktails on the screened porch with the fantastic view. Arborvine and Fish Net were great places to eat! We love being in Blue Hill which is close to so many interesting places. Karen was so helpful!! We plan to come back!!!
