Post and Beam Hikers Dream

Summary:
Post and Beam, Hikers Dream. 3 bedroom, 2 full bathroom cabin
Heated, fireplace and firepit!! Hike and sightsee from this open and bright post and beam home. This year round cabin is your sanctuary after a day of hiking! Relax on the back deck overlooking the garden, to the sounds of your private stream! How about a game of pool in the entertainment room? Family game time in front of the wood stove? Bring the whole family to enjoy this pet-friendly oasis, tucked in the woods, yet ...

The Space:
The main floor living room has a vaulted beam ceiling, and gorgeous 20 foot windows overlooking beautiful flower gardens and brick paths. Our eat in kitchen has a gas range, and plenty of supplies for that family meal time!
The spectacular views of the wildlife, and stream in the backyard may have you day dreaming of staying longer in this amazing home.

There is a spacious first floor bedroom and modern bathroom with a walk in shower. If you need a little privacy to work, there is an office with a door. The 3rd bedroom is on the first floor off of the office with a day bed that sleeps two, and french doors to the deck!

The lofted master bedroom and private bathroom (2nd floor) have a skylight and privacy. They are up a beautiful flight of stairs and can overlook the main living space with the french doors open.

You'll never need to go out with your personal game room! The basement is finished, with a tv, pool table, and pull out couch for additional sleeping options.
You are welcome to use our washer and dryer in the laundry room. Feel free to bring your well behaved pets (limit of 2) as the property includes 1.5 acres of gardens, open yard space, and private woods with a babbling brook. Enjoy your privacy in our beautiful home on a quiet street on the island of Sorrento. Yes you can drive here, no need for a ferry!
NEARBY in the the quiet village of Sorrento, with a town dock, historic library, Blink Bonnie 9 hole golf course, Prospect Harbor lighthouse (see pictures), and scenic views around every bend. It is a well-known fishing community and summer resort with spectacular views of Bar Harbor and the mountains of Mt. Desert Island. There are plenty of hiking options close to the house, and Schoodic Point of Acadia National Park! Other activities include biking, boating, fishing, kayaking, and bird watching. The densely forested PREBLE ISLAND, located just off-shore on the southern side, is known for its cobble beaches and roosting eagles.
You can take a day trip to Bar Harbor, or Cadillac Mountain to see the sunrise, all just 20 miles away. There is a ferry directly to Bar Harbor in Winter Harbor, which is close to the house as well!!
*We will send you a pet agreement for your pup. There is a $100 pet fee per stay.

Cozy A-frame
We stayed four nights and made trips to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. It is a cozy place with quite a bit of character. The property manager was quick to respond to questions. There is no AC but lots of fans so be aware during the summer months but the twmperature was fine in September.

pet friendly and comfortable
We had a nice time in Maine. The house was fine for our stay. We visited Acadia most days and the location was an hour from MDI. Even though the only tv was in the basement, we were busy outdoors and really didn't miss it.

Quiet and peaceful oasis
We had the best time in your serene location. Cute house, as advertised, and centrally located to both parts of Acadia National Park- though both are about a 20-30 minute drive.

Enjoyable stay
Overall a very good stay, we loved being on the quieter side of Acadia and enjoyed the beauty of the nearby Schoodic Peninsula. The cycling was amazing and we took advantage of many of the local hiking trails. The house definitely met out needs and we were thrilled to be able to bring the dogs. It was clean, comfortable for sleeping, and it offered ample places to sit back and relax. The kids really appreciated the pool table. Susan was quick to respond to our questions and was available, if needed. We did feel that the house could use a little added attention, repairing the screen doors and adding some updated kitchen cook wear. Nothing major, but would be helpful for future renters.

Nice but needs a little TLC
The house was overall a nice place for three adults to stay. It’s VERY secluded, which we didn’t mind. One major critique is that the listing says “at the beach” and it is very much in the middle of Sorrento with no water in sight. Some small repairs would go a long way. Lights and fans that didn’t work, beams that fell off kitchen cabinets (one that almost hit me in the head), etc. Otherwise it was clean and comfortable.

Easy and cozy
The hosts were easy-going and unintrusive. We spent the trip making day visits to Bar Harbor and within Acadia, and the evenings relaxing with a fire. Good heating, plenty of space to spread out for three of us, and clear instructions.

The house was perfect for our getaway to Maine! We loved having a quiet place to stay and it was even more special to have our dog with us. Having a full bath for each bedroom was also great! Would definitely recommend staying here.
