About this property

Summit Sanctuary – Minutes to Downtown Blue Hill!

Tucked away at the top of a quiet road just outside the heart of Blue Hill, Summit Sanctuary offers a peaceful escape where mornings begin with soft sunlight filtering through the trees and evenings settle into calm, coastal stillness. Perched above the village, this cozy apartment feels like your own private hideaway—surrounded by open lawn, forested views, and the fresh Maine air.
Step outside and you're perfectly positioned to experience the best of the Blue Hill Peninsula. Start your day with a hike up Blue Hill Mountain, just a mile away, where sweeping views of the coastline make every step worth it. Or take a slower pace and wander the serene trails of Penny's Brook Nature Preserve nearby. Within minutes, you can find yourself in the heart of Blue Hill village—grabbing coffee, browsing local shops, or enjoying a quiet moment by the ocean.
Despite its tucked-away feel, Summit Sanctuary keeps you close to adventure. Scenic drives lead you along the peninsula's rugged coastline, and in under an hour, you can be exploring the iconic beauty of Acadia National Park or spending the day in Bar Harbor. Whether you're here to hike, relax, or simply unplug, this location offers the perfect balance of convenience and seclusion.

Summit Sanctuary was a comfortable stay with easy access to the greater Blue Hill area. The apartment was pleasant and had everything but access to a washer and dryer for our longer 10 day stay. Fortunately, the Blue Hill Laundry was just down the road. It provides an excellent wash and fold service.Parking for the apartment is right off the main country road going in to Blue Hill. It is a driveway you have to slow down, look for and make sure you are signaling as there is often traffic behind you. Same with exiting the driveway...be cautious.We did enjoy the daily visit from the local flock of turkeys. We watched them from our living room window as they hunted for bugs on the lawn.All in all a wonderful visit to the greater Blue Hill area!!

This was not listed as a basement apartment. Running water & walking from upstairs clearly audible. Fortunately weather was wonderful so we were not in the unit very much. There was confusion on the parking situation. Also we saw no info on how to lock the unit when we left each day. Almost locked ourselves out. The place was clean except for finding hair in the shower before we first used it.
