Post and Beam Hikers Dream

POST AND BEAM HIKERS DREAM, Heated throughout, plus fireplace, fire pit, dog
Open and bright, this post and beam home is your sanctuary after a day of hiking! Relax on the back deck overlooking the garden, to the sounds of your private stream! How about a game of pool in the entertainment room? Family game time in front of the wood stove? Bring the whole family to enjoy this pet-friendly oasis, tucked in the woods, yet close to everything!
The main floor living room has a vaulted beam ceiling, and gorgeous 20 foot windows overlooking beautiful flower gardens and brick paths. Our eat in kitchen has a gas range, and plenty of supplies for that family meal time!
There is a spacious first floor bedroom and modern bathroom with a walk in shower. If you need a little privacy to work, there is an office. The third bedroom had a day bed, with an office off of it on the first floor, . The spectacular views of the wildlife, and stream in the backyard may have you day dreaming of staying longer in this amazing home.
The lofted master bedroom and private bathroom (2nd floor) have a skylight and privacy. They are up a beautiful flight of stairs and can overlook the main living space with the french doors open.
You'll never need to go out with your personal game room! The basement is finished, with a tv, pool table, and full sized futon for additional sleeping options.
You are welcome to use our washer and dryer in the separate laundry room. Feel free to bring your well behaved pets (limit of 2 with pre-approval and a pet agreement) as the property includes 1.5 acres of gardens, open yard space, and private woods with a babbling brook. Enjoy your privacy in our beautiful home on a quiet street on the island of Sorrento. Yes you can drive here, no need for a ferry!
Nearby there the quiet village of Sorrento, with a town dock, historic library, Blink Bonnie 9 hole golf course, and scenic views around every bend. It is a well-known fishing community and summer resort with spectacular views of Bar Harbor and the mountains of Mt. Desert Island. There are plenty of hiking options close to the house, and Schoodic Point of Acadia National Park! Other activities include biking, boating, fishing, kayaking, and bird watching. The densely forested Preble Island, located just off-shore on the southern side, is known for its cobble beaches and roosting eagles.
You can take a day trip to Bar Harbor, or Cadillac Mountain to see the sunrise, all just 20 miles away. There is a ferry directly to Bar Harbor in Winter Harbor, which is close to the house as well!!
*We will send you a pet agreement for your pup. There is a $100 pet fee per stay.

We had the best time in your serene location. Cute house, as advertised, and centrally located to both parts of Acadia National Park- though both are about a 20-30 minute drive.

The house was perfect for our getaway to Maine! We loved having a quiet place to stay and it was even more special to have our dog with us. Having a full bath for each bedroom was also great! Would definitely recommend staying here.

We had a nice time in Maine. The house was fine for our stay. We visited Acadia most days and the location was an hour from MDI. Even though the only tv was in the basement, we were busy outdoors and really didn't miss it.

I stayed in this house with my husband an four year old daughter. It was a good location in that it was near many things to do--we drove about a half hour for a Puffin tour, and about 40 minutes to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

The hosts were easy-going and unintrusive. We spent the trip making day visits to Bar Harbor and within Acadia, and the evenings relaxing with a fire. Good heating, plenty of space to spread out for three of us, and clear instructions.

Different experience being away from Bar Harbor. We have enjoyed the solitude of the area and quiet part of the Acadia. The property is very clean and has all conveniences of home away from home.

Susan was fantastic to work with regarding our stay. She was great at communicating with us regarding the need to change our location and found us a place that was amazing! We will definitely be looking to stay at another property Susan manages in the future!

The cabin is just beautiful inside with the vaulted ceilings in the living room. It was perfect for our family with plenty of places to sit and relax. The kids had a blast playing pool in the basement! It was also well situated for visiting Acadia National Park, being able to visit the Schoodic Peninsula one day and then to Mount Desert Island the next.
