Oceanfront home on the Maine coast minutes from Schoodic portion of Acadia NP.

Three story cottage on a quiet, serene lot overlooking Prospect Harbor with views of Corea. Walk down the short steps to the breathtaking ocean scene. This is classic Maine; rugged coastline and crashing surf. Listen to and watch the lobster fishermen and women as they haul their traps getting ready to sell you the freshest Maine lobster around. The house was built in 2004 by a local carpenter who happens to be on your house management team! This house is clean, has a fully stocked kitchen, all linens, is well kept and ready for your enjoyment.
Why battle the crowds on Mount Desert Island when you can stay on the Schoodic Peninsula and do day trips to Bar Harbor? Besides, we have the lovely Schoodic section of Acadia with gorgeous, moss lined hiking and wide biking trails. You are likely to see porpoises, seals, and all manner of sea birds. A moose? Perhaps. Deer? Very likely. Foxes, rabbits, coyotes and regularly...bald eagles.

If you like to relax, rent this beautiful home! We sat in the chairs by the fire & watched birds, harbor porpoises, bald eagles, squirrels, & deer. We saw hummingbirds & dragonflies. Amazing views inside the home, also!

Beautiful View!
We utilized the fire pit that overlooked the ocean every evening. If you stay in August bring bug spray! We were prepared, and so thankful we did. The flies in the evening became a little aggressive. We enjoyed the fishermen checking the lobster traps, and we were thrilled to see dolphins one evening. Watching the sunrise outside the living room window was breathtaking! The house was exactly as described and well stocked.

Beautiful home exactly like the picture show. We enjoyed the sounds of the ocean all day and night, campfires nightly, and you are located close enough to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and Corea to do any activities we wanted. Host was great and responded to all our questions!!! Great family vacations I would stay again!!!

Peaceful getaway
The check-in process was easy and communication with the property manager was great! She was very friendly! The house was well-stocked and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We only needed to buy a couple of condiments. The lobster pot was a nice bonus! The house also came with some fire wood and we had a few camp fires while we were there. The rocky beach is right in front of the house, so sunrises were beautiful right from the living room or balcony. The house is in a remote area so we would suggest grocery shopping in Ellsworth before getting to the house, but there were a couple well-stocked convenience stores within 10 mins if we needed anything. We would suggest this rental to others!

We enjoyed our time in Maine. The house was just as advertised. We knew we were pushing our luck with the weather. Fortunately we had an incredible weather week. We didn’t see cold or rain until the day we checked out. The house had a lot of room. The location was great for rest and relaxation. We enjoyed watching the boats pass by the front room windows. We spent a lot of time in Schoodic on the trails. It was a great experience.

Amazing, relaxing location!
Lobster Lodge is a beautiful house house with an amazing view. The house is exactly as it appears in the photos - tastefully decorated in a nautical lobster theme, with a fabulous master suite on the second floor and a deck off that bedroom that is the best place to have your morning coffee or afternoon drink. You might be tempted to spend your entire vacation there! The views from the living room, master suite and third floor bedroom can’t even be described. Watching the sunrise from them was a highlight as the lobster boats went out for their day. And you can even see the Prospect Harbor lighthouse from the rocks outside. But the best part of the house is listening to the waves as you fall asleep. It’s truly magical. While the house is definitely a little bit of a trek to shopping, the closeness to Schoodic Point and the adorable town of Winter Harbor is a huge plus. And if you want to go out farther DownEast it’s not far at all. It’s a very special part of Maine that should be visited. Highly recommend Lobster Lodge!!

We can’t say enough about this beautiful property. We enjoyed the gorgeous ocean view while also being nestled in the woods. The property neat and clean and the hosts were pleasant to work with and accommodating. They anticipated all our vacation needs and met them before we even knew what they may be. We also enjoyed the proximity to Acadia, local restaurants, and shopping. This place is a gem and we look forward to staying again in the future.

This secluded hidden gem was well furnished and very clean. Spectacular views of the ocean from living room and fire pit. Very quiet with the occasional humm of a lobsterman’s vessel. Minutes from schoodic loop and eateries. I would highly recommend.

Relaxation at its best
The property is absolutely amazing! Beautiful, quiet location with a view you could stare at for a lifetime. The home is nestled on a beautiful piece of the Maine Coast. Clean, comfortable beds, everything you need is right there in the home for you. The hosts were amazing, sent us texts to check and make sure we had everything we needed and texted recommendations of places to eat, visit and even little local stores to stop by and pick up things we may need. I can not tell you how wonderful this place actually is because words can not give it the credit its due, if you are looking for a place to unwind with family or partner or friends, this is it. I already miss the sound of the waves hitting the rocks at night while drifting off to a wonderful nights sleep. 10 out of 10, would recommend to anyone wanting to disconnect from the world for a bit, don't worry you still have great WIFI.

As good as it gets!
The Lobster Lodge has an incredible ocean view accompanied by the surround sound of crashing waves which can be enjoyed whether you are indoors or outdoors. Surrounding area is quaint and very Maine-ish! Spend a fair amount of time in Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park which is an easy drive roughly an hour away. The house is tastefully decorated with a lobster theme, very private, has a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, very responsive host, and can I say once more–an incredible view!

Loved the lobster lodge!
Terrific experience all around. Stayed 5 nights in mid-September and enjoyed the quiet harbor with beautiful waterfront views of lobster boats, starry skies, and unforgettable sunrises. Nearby lobster co-ops were a favorite. Very close access to Schoodic Acadia for sightseeing and hiking without all the crowds of the main Acadia. An easy hour drive to Bar Harbor or main Acadia but those were both a little too crowded for our liking. Allison the house manager is very helpful and responsive. The house had great beds and everything we needed.
