"We had 4 adults and on 4-year old. The house and bedrooms were perfect for our group. It gave us a good base for 3 days in the area - first time on Schoodic Peninsula. Short drive to Bar Harbor for more sights, shopping and eating. Pretty crowded, but manageable. We would do it again! "

"This was a captivating setting. If we were to stay there for a few days, it would have been delightful. As it was, we were driving back from Acadia NP. We just weren’t prudent. We were up for indoor camping and maybe even the wood stove, but elected not to stay after arriving after dark…totally our choice. Another time, it would have been PERFECT. "

"Very clean and comfortable cottage in a beautiful setting "

"This home was perfect for our first outing to Acadia. We enjoy being away from the crowds and exploring on our own and this was the perfect setting. We explored the Schoodic side first and later launched kayaks directly from the property to explore the surroundings by water. We ate at local restaurants and also had a well equipped kitchen for those nights we stayed in. We took our bikes over to Acadia by ferry avoiding the traffic and getting a bonus tour guide from the ferry owners as we...

"10/10 Understand that this is a quintessential rustic cabin in Northern Maine. If you understand that: you will thoroughly enjoy this cabin. A slice of Maine cultural history. The property manager has excellent communication and was so kind to mail my daughter’s clothing back to us! The property is everything you would ever want and need for an isolated cabin on a lake. I didn’t mind the 45 min drive to Acadia and back, as it showcases the diversity of Northern Maine (farms, lobsters/sea,...

"We were looking for a location to do a weekend reading retreat and this was absolutely perfect. The property was clean and cozy. The owner was wonderful and very communicative. We hope to stay again soon!"

"The house is gorgeous! Lots of room! Great views! We used the spotting scope continuously!! It is a little isolated so you have to drive a lot for groceries, firewood, restaurants. We loved the beach and the fire pit!! "

"My wife and I had a great time. It is a beautiful and peaceful location overlooking the bay. We spent a lot of time at Acadia, which is clos. "

"This is a great cabin located in a nice private setting, with the ocean literally feet from the door. We enjoyed our stay. It was so relaxing and we got to see the full Hunter Moon rising right over the ocean. The cabin was clean and cozy, and the kitchen had everything you could need. We enjoyed day trips to Bar Harbor/Acadia, Schoodic Peninsula, Lubec and Campobello Island. I would rent this property again in a heartbeat. "

"We feel like we won the lottery! This place was exactly as portrayed and exactly what we wanted. Cozy, comfortable, relaxing. The kitchen was well equipped. The bedding was comfortable. We enjoyed walking the quiet streets of Corea and meeting neighbors. The locals we met were pleasant, helpful and willing to share their stories of life in the area. We had need to contact the owner once and she was very responsive to our situation. IF we ever have the opportunity to travel to the area again, we...

"It was a very nice location. "

"We loved this place. It was perfect for Sunset pictures to cooking live lobsters -the Maine experience! Location was perfect as not far from Acadia or bar harbor. Dan was great"

"We found this hidden gem by chance when looking for a quiet oceanfront place to stay with our family and dog. Home was as advertised and we immediatwly wished we booked a third night. Clean, quiet and right at the waters edge."

"Great property inside and out. "

"Old home from 1860 was very nice with old home quirks Absolutely beautiful view! Everything we needed was there"

"Perfect, secluded area with beautiful views! It has a lovely trail going down the beach/water area. Beds were very comfy and the place was very clean. Loved it! "

"Lone Pine was the perfect home base to relax and enjoy the scenery and quiet in between trips to the park and amazing dinners. The fall colors were beautiful!"

"Plenty of room for all of us to have some alone time, although we spent most of the time relaxing on the deck taking in the beautiful panoramic views. This is a sunny spot, and the weather was perfect all week! It could use another umbrella for shade because the deck is full sun most of the day, but we sat at a picnic table on the shady side of the house to get some reprieval. Charlie delivered lobsters every other day, and at $5/lb we certainly over indulged! The house is older, and has a ton...

"Very nice and clean. Had everything we needed. Very peaceful."

"We had a wonderful week enjoying the beautiful house, view sunrises and wildlife. It was so enjoyable watching the changing tide and to explore the nearby towns. Acadia is close by and amazing. We were able to recharge our batteries away from everyday stress and truly relax and enjoy."

"Early September I took a weeklong trip and stayed in Elizabeth’s room at Elsa’s. To say it was the perfect choice is an understatement! The property was gorgeous, the room was sweet and cozy and had the perfect view of the harbor (across the street!) The inn keepers were so warm, kind and helpful. And they make THE BEST breakfast. They even wrote me a card on my birthday, it was a solo trip for my 30th and it was so thoughtful and special. The location- did I mention there is a harbor across the street? Right by Acadia, the drives to everything are gorgeous and there are so many perfect little local spots to eat at right up the road. Will definitely be coming back"
