Peaceful Basement Apartment among serene woods, paths, and a stream near Acadia

Our property spans 4.5 acres of forest on Mount Desert Island. You are welcome to walk the manicured paths and relax and rest in the chairs, benches, hammock, etc. that you find throughout the property.

The basement apartment has two spacious bedrooms, a common area, and a bathroom with shower.

A microwave, 10 cubic feet refrigerator, coffee pot, toaster, dishes, and a bucket dehumidifier are included in the common area. A Crock pot is available. A large fan can be found in each bedroom.

If you use the canoes or kayaks all individuals must wear life jackets (available and provided).

We do have a right-of-way to Long Pond. At the end of this right-of-way is a small beach you are welcome to use.

Our secluded property is centrally-located on Mound Desert Island (MDI) and within 25 minutes of all destinations in Acadia National Park.

Due to increasing sensitivities, we ask that you please refrain from using perfumes and strong deodorants.

Amazing Stay!
Our little family stayed at this property and it was perfect for what we needed. Our active 2 year needed a place to play and rest in between our adventures. This place checked all of the boxes. Lots of cute touches for the kids and super quiet! Very close to Acadia NP and Bar Harbour. J.F. was so friendly and helpful during our stay as well. Can’t wait to come back!

Great location and friendly owner
This is a great location for visiting all parts of Acadia. The owner is friendly and accessible and gave us a tour of the pretty property. We ran out of time to take advantage of the kayaks, but Long Pond is just across the street. A good home base for exploring.

This was a perfect basement unit to relax in after hiking all day at Acadia. The hosts were amazing with communication and gave us recommendations on hikes, food, and unique things to do. We also had the option to use their canoes and grill. They wanted us to truly cherish our Maine experience.

Excellent location and friendly owners
Quiet and comfortable location with easy access to Acadia. The property is located across the street from long pond and has excellent kayak access. JF is a fantastic and welcoming host and gave us a tour of the property. We had an excellent time in Acadia and really enjoyed the peaceful evenings in the woods. JF and Suzanne also provide a binder with excellent information on spots to eat and explore around the island. We would definitely recommend this location for anyone looking for a spot to stay while visiting Acadia!

If you like nature, nice lil rustic place to stay.
Rustic little gem. Beds were comfortable. Sits on wooded area that was very inviting. Utilized the kayaks in a lake that is walking distance. Very much enjoyed our stay. Only thing I could possibly complain about is the chairs in the sitting area are not very comfortable. Our host was very kind, helpful and informative of the area, as we went to Acadia National park.

A great spot on the ‘quiet side’ of Mount Desert island.
This was exactly what we were looking for… a place to stay that was close to the big attractions in Acadia, but away from the crowds.

Quiet, central location
Quiet forested location away from the crowds, but the central location made it a great home base and it was quick and easy to get to either side of the island. The hosts were welcoming and quick to respond to messages. We stayed here with our 1 year old daughter and our close friends that we were traveling with. Our only regret is that we weren't there long enough to take advantage of the lake access.

Peaceful wooded setting
The property was located in a peaceful wooded area on the quiet side of Acadia. It was not far to the major attractions in Acadia and Bar Harbor. Comfortable, clean space. There really isn’t a kitchen - no stove or sink, but there is a microwave, coffee pot and you can wash dishes in bathroom sink. There is a fridge. It had everything we needed since we were not cooking - just reheating. Lots of information sent ahead by the owners. We really enjoyed our stay.
