This is a beautiful property in a forested quiet area and the charming cottage is really nicely designed, decorated, and appointed. Our hosts were just as wonderful! The quiet roads through the forest gave us endless walks with frequent views of inlets and lakes, and occasional interactions with friendly and interesting local people. Acadia Ntl park is an easy drive away and it is amazing. We loved so many things about this property and area and we can't wait to go back.

Beautiful property, tranquil setting, wonderful owners!

Can't say enough about this beautiful rental on Prospect Harbor! Gorgeous property, a most comfortable home with all of the necessities and owners were friendly and hospitable. We loved the entire area which is just untouched beauty. It was close enough to all of the sites we wanted to go to but remote enough to really unplug and relax. We can't wait to return!

Our stay

We were very pleased with our decision to book here. John and Debbie were on excellent hosts. The property is located in an attractive area with short duration access to many of the attractions that drew us to the area. The property was very clean and great for a stay. With an oceanside view and a nice area to sit by the water, it really was a great place to stay.

Highly Recommend

I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful waterfront property. It is perfect for a couple's escape. We were looking to be away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, and this stay fit that. The kitchen was gorgeous and had everything I needed to cook. The balcony was a peaceful place to eat dinner while listening to the waves. The hosts communicates quickly but also gave all the privacy we craved. If I'm ever back in Maine, I will definitely stay here again.

Perfect space and wonderful hosts!

We absolutely loved our stay. The space is homey, light filled, incredible views and stocked with everything you need. Might just be my favorite place I've ever stayed. The host was so helpful and offered great tips from everything from groceries to good restaurants to the best night to build a fire. I would absolutely stay here again. Only thing to keep in mind is it's an hour from Acadia and local food options are limited. Not at all a negative, as it also meant you are out of the touristy areas and could really unplug. Just worth it to have a good amount of groceries to last in case you rather just stay in and enjoy what this peaceful retreat has to offer.

Cozy Shoreline Stay

We enjoyed the location of this quaint home that had easy access to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The property manager made us feel at home with a welcome basket. We found the directions very accurate and were able to take advantage of hikes during the day on the schoodic penisula as well as the firepit right on site along the shoreline to close our our evenings. The air conditioning window units cooled down the house if they were on for a few hours. The wash machine machine was a plus and there was a cooler in addition to bug spray and a lighter available for adventuring! We enjoyed our stay and experience in Maine with this great stay ❤️

Tranquil Retreat

This cottage and location is perfect in every way! The cottage is lovely, with attention to every detail. Very updated and very well stocked with everything you could need. The bed is very comfortable. Lots of amenities. Tastefully decorated. The property is right on the water and the views are breathtaking. We sat on the deck each morning for our breakfast and tranquil is the best description. Quiet! And we occasionally heard the call of the loons! Bar Harbor, and all it has to offer is about an hour drive, and we did go over there each day. But it was well worth the drive to be away from all of the noise and commercialism in the evenings and mornings. I cannot recommend this cottage enough !

Amazing place: peaceful and restorative

This was the nicest home we have stayed in. It was immaculate. The kitchen supplies were top notch, lovely to cook with. The view from the small porch is enchanting. Perfect place for a cup of coffee or glass of wine. We had a fire in the pit a couple of times…stars were amazing. Nearby there are several good restaurants, but especially recommend the homemade blueberry soft serve ice cream at Me and Ben’s. The park at Schoodic Penensula is very close and what wonderful views. The main park is a lovely hour drive away and very easy to get to. There is a lot to do and see right around the house, too. Nice antique shops. Each day, however, we were so happy to get back to our lovely cottage. A few tips; buy your own firewood along the way at a “camp wood” station…need cash. Wi-Fi was not very strong. Groceries in Ellsworth is best place to get supplies. Hosts were prompt in reply and very helpful. Would highly recommend this stay!

Beautiful property, Poor Communication Skills

This apartment was clean and on a beautiful peace of property next to the Ocean. The owners are right next door so there is no real sense of privacy to this place. The communication I had with the management company EVOLVE was the absolute worst I have had to ever deal with. A week before my trip, I sent them a request to reduce my stay by 4 days because I had to get back to be with my father who is at MD Anderson in Houston dying of cancer. I messaged them on the VRBO app and did not ever get a response for 72 hours. I finally got someone to respond by email but there was a huge lag in the time between sending the email and them responding. They offered me some minuscule amount of credit for leaving early. The WiFi did not work at all. The access point was in the owners house but too far away to get a useable signal. That apartment needs its own wireless router in there. The place and the area were clean and beautiful so it was not a complete bust. Will come back to the area but find a different place to stay.

What a wonderful place!

We spent 10 days in this lovely, quiet place. The cottage is beautifully made and outfitted. It feels spacious, and the artwork, furniture, and kitchen equipment, and bathroom supplies are all very nice. It has everything needed to live comfortably and really relax. The views out every window are pretty and the balcony overlooking the lovely yard, trees, and ocean was the best place to sit and enjoy coffee, or the moon. The quiet roads in this area offer long walks through forest with frequent views of ocean, inlet, or lake. Acadia National Park is close and amazing. Our hosts were so lovely - relaxed, and generous, and fun to talk with. They gave us good advice whenever we asked. We look forward to returning to see them as well as their beautiful part of the world.

Peaceful and gorgeous!

What a wonderful stay at Tranquil Retreat! Visiting the Schoodic Peninsula for an art residency, I was seeking a rental that would provide a quiet and restorative space when not working in the studio nearby. This apartment was perfect, and I look forward to returning. Communication was timely, friendly, and informative. There was a welcome basket full of goodies upon arrival! The owners next door were helpful and responsive, while not at all intrusive. The space was tastefully decorated, extremely clean, neat, and equipped with everything one might need. What really completed this gorgeous home away from home were the ocean views, sounds, autumn color, and the deck from which to enjoy them all with coffee or wine, which I enjoyed even with the chilly October temps.

This was the perfect place for my husband and I to escape after a stressful few months. It was quiet, charming, peaceful and close enough to Acadia and to Bar Harbor to be able to do everything we wanted to do. Debby and John were also fantastic and left us with a basket of goodies and great suggestions of things to do in the area. It was absolutely perfect!

Awesome vacation

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The accommodations were beautiful and very comfortable, and the view from the property is gorgeous and peaceful. We enjoyed sitting by the water and lying in the nearby hammock. We loved hiking and watching the waves at Schoodic Point, which is very close to the property. We also took several trips to the Mt. Desert Island portion of Acadia National park, which was approximately an hour's drive away. Fantastic vacation, highly recommended.
