vacation rental description

This cottage, with living space on the second floor for the view,
is perfect for two couples, with two very private bedrooms, each with
it's own bath. Cook's kitchen with all appliances, pantry and stunning
view to the ocean. Eat at the bar or the dining table. Cozy living room
with georgeous window seat. Laundry, third bath and den downstairs.The den becomes the third bedroom by pulling out the futon couch. Deck
across the front for outdoor living with view of Frenchman's Bay and
the mountains of Mount Desert Island. Stroll down through the orchard
to sit on the beach, watch the shore birds and boats go by, maybe even
go for a dip if you're brave. Just 20 minutes to Acadia National Park
and 25 min. to downtown Bar Harbor or 10 minutes to shopping in Ellsworth.

house rental amenities

Our house is well supplied with movies, games and books for at home
leasure hours. There are lots of woods for walking and of coarse the
beach to comb. The property was once a farm so there's an old apple
orchard that attracts the deer at times. The field is big enough and
the westerly winds are just right for kite flying. We know, we've done
it! We'll leave our kite in the garage. Those same breezes will keep
you cool on hot afternoons as well as discourage the mosquitoes.

activities and attractions in Acadia Maine

If you've come to see the sights, there's plenty to do. Acadia Natonal
Park is 20 minutes away with lakes, mountains, ocean drives for walking
or biking. There are rental places for bikes or kayaks, whale watches,
sight-seeing cruises, lots of shops, restaurants, movie theatres,
museums, a zoo, even an oceanarium. There's a funpark nearby in Trenton with a waterslide, miniature golf and other attractions. We'll have brochures at the house for you to check out. We are very near Lamoine State Park and the Lamoine Beach, one of Maine's best kept secrets, according to Down East Magazine, and we agree! It has the most amazing view of the mountains of Acadia across Frenchman's Bay. You've got to see it to believe it!!

traveler reviews for this acadia house rental

Books and Beach Walks and Kayaking

Review submitted: September 25, 2011   Date of arrival: August 29, 2011

This house is terrific! The house is beautifully appointed with a cheery and fully-equipped kitchen, a great counter to hang out at, and good views of the water. We felt at home immediately! If you're a reader (or a writer!), don't bother to bring books with you because this house is fully stocked with a great variety of literary novels, non-fiction, childrens, and interesting stuff like a huge coffee-table book of New York Times front pages dating back as far as you can think. Despite Acadia looming nearby, you might find it hard to get out of the window seat to explore it.

That said, we had three great paddles in our kayaks, directly from the beach, up the Jordan River and into Eastern Bay. Great launching spot just across a small meadow and orchard and a rocky beach that's easy to navigate, plus you can walk for miles in two directions when the tide is right.

Total privacy at the Gatehouse, which is at the very end of a dead-end road.

Lovely, lovely spot and every little detail is attended to. Very peaceful and aesthetically pleasing setting, both inside and out. Only a half hour to everything in Acadia, too, and a great farmer's market on the way so you can stock up on fresh local fruits and veggies.

You won't be disappointed!

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, pet-friendly, sight seeing, romantic getaway

Owners response: We love when our renters appreciate all the books we have in our house. I have always thought writers in particular would find it the perfect place to relax, to read and to write!

The description of the property was totally accurate. The house, as well as the grounds, were lovely. Spoiled us for other rentals!

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing, romantic getaway

Owners response: We are always so pleased when our renters tell us how much they've enjoyed their stay in our house on the ocean.

The Gatehouse was a perfect rental for my family and I. It was warm and welcoming (even with fresh flowers) and very well equipped. The setting was lovely as well. I was hesitant about not being on Mount Desert Island, but my fears were completely unfounded. The location was convenient and it was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of MDI. I enjoyed taking nice quiet runs through Lamoine and to the beach. Really can't say enough good things about this rental (except maybe that we wish we found all the games earlier...but there was much to do and explore in the area so the games weren't even needed)!. I now want to build a window seat for reading in my home!

Owners response: We are so pleased when folks love our house. Lamoine sounds like a strange little village and it's hard to convince people that is will be a great jumping-off spot for visiting Acadia and Mount Desert Island (including Bar Harbor) It is always rewarding for us when renters write that they were completely satisfied with their stay or that they found our home was far above their expectations.
