This open concept Colonial home was built in 2014 and is positioned to enjoy all day sun and fabulous sunsets, with a 40 X 12 foot deck to enjoy every moment of those views and a patio underneath in the shade.

Large windows let natural sunlight shine through all day, and because we are on a hill, is also great for viewing the amazing night sky in Maine!
You may make a request with owner if you wish for your dog to join you (additional $150 per, see rental agreement).
With a 40 foot deck and patio below off the daylight basement, there's an additional 1000 sq feet to enjoy the outdoors, without even stepping foot in to the grass in the large yard *Custom Maine-made cornhole set (stored inside - under 1st floor bed) and outdoor games*!

Please note, we do not rent basement to separate parties at the same time.
Home is located at the end of lovely neighborhood road conveniently right off Rte 3, approximately half way from bridge on to island and village green/downtown area of Bar Harbor. A large, spacious home situated in close proximity to all the adventures of Mount Desert Island and Acadia national park. We are around corner from Norway Drive - a common cut over to get to Northeast Harbor, Southwest Harbor, Bass Harbor, Tremont, or all the other quiet and more hidden areas of MDI and Acadia (Beechcliff is one of our favorites).
There are two excellent guide books and a map of Acadia for guests. Plus some board games, books, puzzles, and some movies with DVD player. High speed internet and 2 smart TVs located in living spaces and in master bedroom for your favorite subscriptions (main floor and basement). All TVs use Roku, where you are welcome to use our basic channels (Amazon prime) or log in to your subscription for your preferred channels.
We are environmental stewards and love renters who also believe in conserving water, leaving no trace behind, and have a ‘leave it as you found it or better’ mentality. This home has a private well and septic system where extreme constant water use can overcome the natural supply. Like all private wells, they are self sustaining if you allow for water to replenish between use. You cannot flush any grease or food products down drain and should never flush anything besides tp down the toilet (even if packaging may say ‘flushable’).
Closest water -3 miles to Hadley Point ocean inlet or a 5 minute car ride to Hulls Cove; Or just walk 1 mile to Hamilton Pond and Salsbury Cove or 1.5 miles to Emery Cove where MDI Biological Laboratory is located.
*** Cleaning practices in place recommended for Covid-19, with disinfectant supplies at house for renter use while at home. ***
