House with Water View and Fireplace on Deck

On a private wooded lot with views of Blue Hill Bay, this custom-built house with many windows and a 'floating ceiling' is designed to make you feel as though you are living in a painting. In addition to a well-equipped kitchen, glass doors from the living room and master bedroom with a King bed opens to a deck which has a large stone fireplace. The other bedroom has a Queen and you have a view of the front gardens.

The village of Bernard is a short walk away. A trail through the woods takes you to Thurston's Wharf for lobster dinner or to Island Astronomy for some star-gazing. Back beach sub diving, biking park trails, kayaking or any of the other adventures Acadia National Park offers. Two bedrooms: one queen and one king .One full and one half bath.

A little Slice of Maine...
To start with the owner is amazingly clear and up front about your stay on the property. He communicated very well and was very responsive to our questions. I can't thank Marty enough for that, really great. The property is in a secluded location with tons of privacy. This northern climate oasis is a incredible place to go to recharge our batteries and escape into nature. With wildlife right at your doorstep you are only moments away from all the things you would expect from staying on Mount Desert Island. If you are lucky you will have nature's guest join you, like deer and eagles. The location is just a stone's throw from several great lobster lunches, we tried three while we were there. I have to say Travelin' Lobster won the contest, but they were all really great. Finally one of the best parts of the location was that we were close enough to really enjoy Acadia National Park and all it had to offer, but also just far enough to get away from the crowds when it was too busy. This place is truly a gem and I hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did. Thank you Marty for being so welcoming to us, until next time.... Deb & Doug

Clean and green
The landscaping lived up to the photos as did the view. I thought this was one of the cleaner houses I have stayed at. I do think that the pots and pans could use some additions but that was it. We had everything else we needed. The owner was a nice guy who reacted quickly when we had a hot water issue. Weather could have been better but cest la vie. No control of that.

Peaceful and beautiful
The Lyon’s Den was picture perfect, a wonderful place to relax and spend our honeymoon after the chaos of wedding panning! We loved having coffee on the deck with our dog every morning, and watching the boats coming and going. The grounds were beautiful and meticulously kept. Walking out the front door and through the woods to Thurston’s lobster shack was one of our favorite lunches all week.

An Exquisite Retreat
My husband and I were in great need of a quiet and comforting retreat. Lyons Den met our needs on every level. The home is clearly beloved by the host and so well cared for. The exterior grounds and gardens are truly stunning. Looking out each window was so restful, the water views included. The interior of the house was equally satisfying. Practical needs were anticipated and so well addressed in a notebook. The near floor to ceiling windows in each room created such great light and views. We so enjoyed the options of hiking, small town life, and two trips to Bst Harbor. This truly was one of our best vacations ever and this was in no small part due to Lyons Den. Thank you, Marty.

Wonderful coastal escape
Having never visited Maine before, I began looking for pet friendly places near Bar Harbor and Acadia and The Lyons Den popped up in my search. What a fabulous find! The house is situated on a beautiful piece of land with great water views combined with a lovely garden landscape. Plus the views could be enjoyed from nearly every room in the house. My dog and I loved the trails through the woods leading us down to the ocean and Thurston’s lobster pound. While this property is a solid 30 minute drive to Acadia and nearly 20 minutes to town, I am so glad we got to experience the “Quiet Side”. Sitting on the porch with a fire in the fireplace watching the stars made for a perfect night. The house had everything we needed. One consideration for renters is due to the remoteness of the house, meals may require some planning. This should in no way deter anyone from selecting this house for a vacation spot. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Life on the quiet side
The contrast between this location, and the frantic, tourist laden Bar Harbor side of the island could not be more dramatic. The quiet, beautiful gardens and the breezes afforded by the many screened windows suited our familiy perfectly.

Tranquil Luxury
Our stay at Lyons Den was perfect. The house is beautiful, clean, well stocked with everything we needed. The area is so peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed walking to the nearby beach and to Thurston's Lobsters, both very close. The walk through the woods is fairytale like with all the mosses and pine trees! I couldn't believe how beautiful the gardens around the house are. Everything is so well maintained. The house is very secluded. Once you pull in the driveway you are in your own little world, not a house in sight. The floor to ceiling windows let you enjoy beautiful views no matter which way you look.

Amazing, peaceful location.
Out of all the properties we have rented at, this has been by far been our favorite. The house overloooks the water and has 2 different routes to a stone beach both only taking about 5 minutes. We were able to completely relax at this location being completely immersed in nature by both the surroundings and the beautiful landscaping. Boasting 2 amazing decks, it was quite nice to sit out and relax smelling the breeze off the water filled with sea roses. Taking a warm shower in the outside shower was such a treat. Our dogs loved the house and location as well- there were just a few stairs which was helpful for our older dogs and they loved laying on the cool deck from the breezes coming off of the water. Would rent again in a heart beat. All the amenities we could need were provided. A true gem set by the water surrounded by a peaceful fragrant evergreen forest.

Beautiful, serene location. Quiet neighborhood easily accessible to Acadia and all that it offers. Had an incredible week hiking, biking the carriage trails and kayaking. Thurstons Lobster pound was a hit (especially the whoppie pies and blueberry ice cream) and we thoroughly enjoyed breakfasts in SWH! Thank you for sharing your beautiful retreat!

A little slice of heaven!!
We had a fabulous time at Lyons' Den in Bass Harbor. The property is beautiful (the pictures online do not do it justice). The view is breathless and the grounds/gardens are well maintained with native plants and flowers. The home and kitchen are very well appointed. You will not need to bring a thing!! Marty was available to answer all are questions throughout the booking process, weeks leading up to our vacation and he even stopped by to see if we needed anything! Awesome experience to work with someone who was so kind and helpful. Wish we could give this home more than 5 stars!! Hope to come back soon!

A Beautiful Place!
This is a beautiful place to stay - the view from every window in the house is fantastic! The property is well maintained and manicured. The photos do not do this justice. We were impressed as soon as we pulled into the driveway! The woodland surroundings make this very private, but still there's views of the ocean. The house was exactly what we needed, and lacked nothing. We are already planning our next stay this fall!

The Perfect Vacation Home
Absolutely beautiful, secluded home with gorgeous views of either Blue Hill Bay or the surrounding gardens from every window. The kitchen is well-stocked, beds are extremely comfortable, and Marty (the owner) was a joy to work with. Everything that the area has to offer is within walking distance - the library, post office, Bass Harbor, Thurston's Lobster Pound, and Back Beach are all minutes away. The quiet side was definitely the right side for our family. We can't wait to return next year!

Beautiful Ocean Views, Super Comfortable, Very Secluded
We stayed for one week in early May 2017. Cut into a thick pine forest, this quiet, secluded house was very comfortable and wonderfully equipped with everything we needed. The family room had big windows that offered picturesque views of the incoming and outgoing ocean tides. The freshwater marsh in front added interest and attracted a diverse variety of wildlife The same view could be experienced from the spacious and very nicely done master bedroom or outside from the large deck which was appointed with six cushioned chairs, table, gas grill and outdoor fireplace. Pine trees and other native plants blended perfectly with the beautifully landscaped grounds. Our contact, Marty, was the most pleasant man and just a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive to emails, and offered helpful suggestions for experiencing the island. Marty was personally attentive to all the details and was genuinely interested in making sure we enjoyed our stay. This is a great place to stay. We had a marvelous time and would love to return some day.
