Beautiful Acadia views on 4 serene acres. Private and peaceful after exploring

A peaceful and private location on Flanders Bay. PANORAMIC OCEAN VIEWS of Mt Desert Island on a bay that is perfect for kayaking, sitting by the bay and watching eagles and seals, and beautiful sunsets. My dog Annie and I love a friendly dog visitor as well. The apartment is a studio design with comfy king size bed, living room, mini kitchenette with full size refrigerator available, your own deck with water views, grill, , hammock and all you need to enjoy a peaceful and private Maine vacation. My home provides a private distance and is detached. I offer two LL Bean cruising bikes and kayaks for your use no charge. (Use of bikes and kayaks are at your own risk owner is not responsible for injuries with both or shore injury). )Located between Schoodic Peninsula and Ellsworth both just 15 minutes away. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are about a 30-40 min drive. Your dog is welcome if housebroken. (A crate, I can provide, for your time away is appreciated if you have any doubts about damages) All the comforts of home are here and everything you want to experience on your Maine vacation are accessible! Enjoy sightseeing Downeast Maine, it's lighthouses, reversing falls, peaceful hikes, and quiet ponds as well as Acadia National Park, Blue Hill, Stonington in the opposite direction within 30-45 minutes. Within walking distance you can enjoy lobster dinner, BBQ, ice cream, and scenic highway 1A.
This location offers it all! Peace and solitude, lakes, private ponds with beaches, ocean, hikes on and off Acadia within minutes from my home and all that scenic Rt 1 has to offer in Downeast Maine! Quintessential Maine experience in every direction. Guests consistently review appreciation for the peace and quiet here at the end of busy days in Acadia. My home is rented a few weeks during each summer and you will be advised at time of request if anyone other than the host is occupying.

This comfy studio apartment instantly feels like home away from home. All linens, towels, beach towels, pet cover and towel, coffee maker, coffee and tea, a bottle of wine to welcome your stay and more! The outdoor shower is a must try!. High pressure, hot water, private, all toiletries supplied! The fire pit by shore makes for a peaceful evening. The bay beckons a kayak paddle at sunset! Comforts of home are so important to me as a host!

Melaine Rd is a private driveway that connects three homes. 5 mph max please especially as passing neighbors homes.

We loved our stay at Misty's place! It was peaceful, quiet, clean, and private. We loved to walk down to the shore and sit on the rocks to look out at the ocean. Beautiful scenery! I would highly recommend staying at Misty's if you are visiting Acadia National Park!

Get Away

Misty is incredible host - very friendly and helpful. Her place is beautiful, and had everything we needed. The view was spectacular and we loved watching the sea lion on the rock. We also really liked the location - easy to get to Acadia and the Schoodic peninsula. We also loved meeting Annie, her sweet Golden. We definitely will return.

A little slice of heaven

My husband and I stayed in Misty and Annie’s studio for five nights. The studio was very welcoming, very clean and exactly as described.. We loved kayaking on Flanders Bay kayaks were provided by Misty along with life preservers. Another favor was sitting in the Adirondack chairs overlooking the bay every morning with coffee and every evening with a nice glass of wine. Misty is so friendly and made sure that if we had any issues that she would correct them straight away, but we had no issues. We hope to go back again someday.

A Little Piece of Heaven

Our stay at Misty and Dan's studio apartment was a perfect location while we were visiting Acadia. After a day of hiking it was so great to come back to the serenity and magnificent views of their property. They were so kind and helpful during our stay and we will definitely stay there again on our next visit to Maine.

The location is perfect. Right on the water with very few people around. Great place to kayak or read a book in the hammock. Easy drive to Acadia National Park and Schoodic Peninsula. Several good places to eat just a short drive away. Owners were responsive and great hosts. The studio is clean and private and the bed was very comfortable.
