The most incredible stay ever.
My family and I had the most amazing stay. The location, right on the water was paradise. The home was beautiful, stunningly decorated, and very comfortable. The home is a former artist's retreat and paintings were displayed throughout the house. We were able to rent kayaks from our hosts and being able to launch from the backyard was a highlight of our trip. This is the place to stay when in Deer Isle.

Beautiful Stay in an Artistic home
We have been coming to Deer Isle for 35 years now, so we are very familiar with the location and the available rental market. This property was beautiful, well-maintained, well-equipped, and very stylish. We loved the art, the view and the gorgeous gardens.

Wonderful family vacation spot!
Our 3 generation family loved this special place! The view of the water from the decks was amazing and the grounds were enchanting—flowers everywhere and numerous outdoor spaces for the kids and adults to wander through. It is a very quiet and peaceful spot. We loved swimming at high tide and also enjoyed kayaking each day right from the property. The house was very comfortable and well equipped, and what a treat to be surrounded by fine original art. It felt like a family home. The kids enjoyed discovering games tucked away in the den. We will definitely be back!

Not too bad
Nice view. Wife thought it was magnificent. Maybe the downstairs toilet could use a sign "Toilet". Looks like a closet.

Picturesque home
This home was in such a beautiful setting. It looks like an artist studio and was left to look as it did when the artist lived there. Location is about an hour 15 minutes from Acadia. But location is worth the drive! If I come back to the area, I would definitely stay here again. My kids loved it too!
