Captain's Quarters at Captain Bennis House
This coastal rural fishing community on the busy Schoodic National Scenic Byway is where you will find our historic old world getaway, located 28 miles from Acadia/Bar Harbor & 13 miles from Acadia at Schoodic. If you love history, the sea & remote places, the carriage house where a sea captain worked is for you. The unique space will remind you of a ship's cabin in an old sailing vessel. Step back in time to experience a simple & quirky two story space with vintage furnishings & plenty of room.

Acadia Gateway Getaway
The Gateway-Getaway is only about three miles from Mount Desert Island (MDI) where you will find Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor. The apartment is perfect for 1-2 people.

We have received many positive reviews and have hosted for seven summers; we proudly earned SuperHost status after our first season of hosting. Come enjoy a few days of solitude

Little Suite in the Woods
Escape to the quiet woods of Mount Desert Island in a modern retreat within easy driving distance of Acadia National Park. The house is located on the quiet side of the island, 1/2 mile off of Rt. 198. As you depart 198 a gravel road takes you through dense forest, leaving behind the street noise and summer rush. When you arrive you are surrounded by woods with not another house in sight. If you are looking to be in town, this is not it. We are driving distance to the hotspots.
