Oceanfront Retreat on Dyers Bay With Amazing Sunsets! Fishing off dock

Spring of 2022 NEWLY RENOVATED BATHROOM, WINDOWS AND SIDING.
We practice very high standards in regards to cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing!
Sincerely,
Wanda (housekeeper) and The Francis Family

Sunsets are amazing!
FYI, BAR HARBOR IS APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR DRIVE FROM THE COTTAGE. It is a great day trip and we suggest you drive to Winter Harbor (30 minutes away) and take the Ferry to Bar Harbor and avoid the parking dilemma (downeastwindjammer.com). Awesome 45 minute boat road and bikes are welcome.

We provide dish liquid/dishwasher pods, trash bags, liquid hand soap at sinks, coffee filters and all linens.
Coffee maker is a Keurig combo ( 12 c. drip or k-cups, not provided).

~~~Please add toilet tissue and paper towels to your shopping list as they are not provided.

A Quiet shoreside cottage nestled amongst the trees on the shore of Dyers Bay. The only traffic you will see is an occasional lobster boat passing by to haul their traps.
The deck is the perfect place to watch our beautiful Downest sunsets as well!
Also a great spot to eat a fresh Maine Lobster on the picnic table!

The cottage is quaint yet newly updated to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Our two bedroom cottage has a queen bed, two twin beds (king upon request prior to arrival) and the living room has a double size pullout couch (couch is best for children). Please advise us in advance if you require bedding for the couch and or would like the king bed vs the twins.

Located just a few miles from hiking trails on Pigeon Hill and Petit Manan Point. You won't be disappointed. Please see our reviews for messages from our previous guests.
We strive to provide a comfortable and spotlessly clean "cottage" for your visit to Maine and the most beautiful sunsets over the bay.

The cottage is most comfortable with 4 guests(quote listed) but can accommodate up to 5 if double couch is used (extra person fee $25)....couch is best fit for children.

Very clean and welcoming. Easy check-in and out. Very quiet and the views are amazing. Within an hours drive to anything you may want to see, but far enough away for a relaxing vacation.

Off the Beaten Path

We stayed here for our family vacation and it was perfect for us to lay our heads after a long day of hiking. We loved the seclusion of it and we even got surprised by seeing some pilot whales while hanging on the deck. The stars were absolutely amazing!

Coastal Maine Dream

The trip was booked for the view and it did not disappoint. The ability to watch lobster fishing from the deck is worth the stay. The property is exactly what we read about and what we enjoyed during our stay. Arnold delivered as a host and we would choose him again.

Amazing view

Highly recommend this place if you are looking for an ocean front with an amazing view and some seclusion. Watching the lobster boats was definitely a highlight. We saw seals and eagles from the deck. Owners were very friendly and great with communication. Definitely check out Chipmans Wharf nearby for your lobster needs! So great!

Excellent stay at Cape Wind

A lovely quiet spot, super clean, 45 min from Bar Harbor and Acadia. We enjoyed going to BH and Acaidia as well as fishing off the dock, more local hikes, puffin cruise, and lobster rolls. Beautiful deck for meals, wine, and sunsets! You’ll see and hear many birds including bald eagles. Wanda and Arnold are wonderful and provided excellent recommendations! 5 stars!!

Perfect quiet cove

The house was very clean. It was perfect for my husband and I to enjoy a quiet time within easy driving distance to bar harbor, Acadia, Schoodic. At 6’1”he felt a little tight in the shower. Just fyi. It’s a cute little house with a great porch to sit and view the ever changing weather and beauty of nature. So thankful for our time here. Gorgeous views.

Amazing stay!

Where do I even start?!? This camp is a true Slice of Heaven. The first night we arrived, we stepped outside and THE STARS! I have never seen anything like it! This was followed by sunsets off the porch and sunrises right up the street. We saw seals, deer and discovered a King Fisher who stole the show While hunkered down at camp we enjoyed the following : - Ray's meat market for an amazing Ribeye - Local farm for eggs (watch for signs) - Chipmans Wharf - So Nice! LOBSTER! - Knotty Lobster Food Truck - Breakfast @ Milbridge House Restaurant We traveled to Acadia part two days and it’s was unbelievable!! Did Schoodnic Peninsula the other day and also so nice!! You will not be disappointed with this house. Super clean and owners ar e super nice!

Not exactly what we expected

The Steuben area is beautiful— rocky shoreline, stunning views. But the house was not really what we expected. It was clean and the necessities were provided. But we expected to have some outdoor “play” space for our kids — grassy area, sandy/rocky beach area, etc. and access to splash in the water. None of that was available. The deck provided great views, amazing sunsets especially. But in the heat of the day couldn’t be enjoyed. I’m not even sure you could get a kayak in the water from this location. Also we had some trouble with the squirrels- they were pretty aggressive. If you are looking for a place within an hour of Acadia, with tons of close hiking trails, this would be a great place to stay. Unfortunately for what we were looking to do it came up a little short.

So relaxing!

We loved staying here! The cottage was comfortable, clean, and a little larger than we were expecting! The shower was a little small…but that wasn’t a deal breaker. Loved having coffee and reading on the deck. We got to observe a lobsterman checking his traps. We made several trips to Milbridge for groceries and a meal. The highlight was the Catch Your Own Lobster (most of us watched) Boat Trip…lots of seals…and a delicious lobster dinner at the dock. If we lived closer, we would do it all again!

Best place to watch the sunset

Our family was visiting the area for a few days and were so pleased with our pick. It is the cleanest property we have ever stayed at. Not a speck of dirt or dust anywhere. Communication was great but the best is the deck overlooking the water and the amazing sunsets. Thank you!

Perfect getaway from it all

Great communication from check in until we left. Property is gorgeous. Positive: safety is no issue, if anything goes wrong the owner lives on property and is quick to help, and porch is perfect spot to sit and relax. Best hiking without the crowds is nearby! Not so positive: could really use some updates on the couch and beds. Could use a few throw blankets for the very cold evenings (we r from the south). The heater sounds like a rocket ship taking off in living room. Lol fyi: make sure to make reservations for the ferry and for anything that needs reservations such as Cadillac mtn well in advance. Be aware of things closing up the weekend of “Columbus Day” if u go in the fall.

Excellent Stay

We had an excellent stay for our family vacation to Maine and the Bar Harbor/Acadia area. The house was exactly what we needed to put that little exclamation point on our great week. The views are amazing from sun up to sun down! Comfortable house from every aspect. Cleanliness was spot on as well. Wanda , the property manager/house keeper checked in a couple times to make sure everything was good and was very responsive when we had questions. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again if/when we return!

Worth more than 5 stars!

I wish I could give this rental more than a 5 star rating. From booking (my first using VRBO), to payments to communication, to week stay to communication was nothing more than 100% satisfactory. Arnold is a gem and has a gem of a property so close to Bar Harbor. We came prepared to hunker down and his kitchen was large enough to cook, store our groceries, and have a few of us linger at the side bar....but no one wanted to because the wrap around deck was where we spent most of our time! Truly a gem if you are headed to Bar harbor!

A little piece of heaven

This place is beautiful! All I wanted to do was sit on the deck and look out over the ocean. We got to see an eagle several times, and a seal! The cottage was well stocked and very clean.
