About this property

Oceanfront Getaway in Heart of Downeast Maine

Start your day on the front porch with a cup of coffee as the lobster boats make their way out into the Gulf of Maine. Or you may choose the more active route with a hike up Pigeon Hill trail to be amongst the first in the US to welcome the new day. Whether your focus is to relax and disconnect, be active and engage, or maybe a little bit of both, this B.Still property has what you need to make that a reality.

The main house consists of two bedrooms with memory foam queen beds, quality linens, and oceans views. The home has two bathrooms, including one with a tub, to wash away the days activity or to take a moment for yourself to relax and reflect. The spacious living room comes equipped with a fireplace and record player making it a perfect spot to take in a cool Maine summer night. Also don’t forget the telescope where you can take in the night sky and maybe get a glimpse of the Milky Way . When dinner time arrives, the family can gather around the large dining room table, or perhaps choose the more casual route with counter seating. Should you want to grab some lobster fresh off the dock and give your own boil a shot, the kitchen has been recently upgraded with quartz counters and stainless appliances and includes everything you would need to cook your lobster feast.

Should you require a little additional space to spread out, the property also has a separate bunkhouse. The suite consists of a queen memory foam bed, high ceilings, all tastefully decorated to give off that Jackson Hole, WY vibe. Also on property is a spacious daybed where you can drink in the views of the bay and a camp grill with equally enviable views. If you want a closer look at that beautiful view, we have two kayaks on site with two adult and one children's life vest.

A Piece of Down East Heaven

Perfect for a relaxing, peaceful, soothing getaway. Activity in the area are the lobster boats going in and out of the peninsula each day. Even cloudy, rainy days were gorgeous. Perfect for those who like to be left alone and enjoy quiet, off the beaten path. Anywhere you need or want to go is close enough to drive without a hassle. All of the food was delicious and fresh wherever we ate in the region. The house itself was wonderful and so comfortable, felt like home. Beautifully decorated and simple, everything was cozy, comfortable and extremely clean. The only thing I would have liked abour it more would have been a working fireplace for the couple of cold nights we had. The propane heater in the living room was enough to heat the whole house to a comfortable level. Ray, the property manager was absolutely wonderful. Very helpful when asked any questions, friendly and knowledgeable if you want to know anything about the area, the house, where to eat and more. I took many photos of the house and surrounding area including the readily available hiking trails down to the shoreline for beautiful views as well as natural beauty along the paths. One of the best vacations I've ever had as I prefer not to be in a touristy area. Despite some of the more dreary days, I was out on the porch just soaking it all in. The property is aptly named B Still. It was heavenly. Despite some of tthetupperpdo.

We had the best vacation. Ray was so helpful and just the nicest person ever. He made our stay even better. I cannot say enough about the beautiful views, and gorgeous property. The lobster was spectacular. Thank you so much to Ray for setting us up for many perfect dinners. It was the best vacation. We travel a lot and this was by far one of our very favorite vacations. Cannot wait to come back.

Beautiful, quiet location

House is right on the water, well appointed with spectacular views. Quiet area (although the walls in the house are thin- if you happen to be traveling with friends who snore). Great location. Close to hiking trails and a place to buy live lobsters. Fabulous wood sculpture studio right down the road. Lots of places to get lobster rolls and clams nearby. Property Manager Ray was extremely helpful in providing us with excellent tips on where to go and what to see in the area.

No Air Conditioning

We stayed at this location for 7 days but left early (Me, wife, kid, In-law). I understand it was Maine but inside the house even with windows open it was stifling hot (90+ degrees). The location didn't have any fans but the ceiling fan in what would be considered the master bedroom upstairs. We went to Walmart and purchased a couple fans to try and get some circulation. We left the fans onsite, but it seems like the owner could splurge for a couple window units for at least the bedrooms. The owner said that it didn't normally get that hot but when we went to Bar Harbor and I spoke to people there they said it had been that hot in the summer for last 5+ years. So, I don't know what the truth is but if you want AC when you stay somewhere this isn't your place. The place was clean, and everything worked well, and the scenery was beautiful. The pictures on the profile are a little misleading for the inside but the outside is accurate. Prepare to drive a lot if you plan to visit the tourist spots. Acadia was incredible and crowded so choose your time wisely when going to hike and sight see. I liked Maine but if I went back in the summer, I would stay somewhere with AC.

Excellent Location for A Quiet Stay

There is so much to recommend about this property and there was one major flaw (more about that later). Check in with Ray was very welcoming. He's a fount of information and very responsive. The house is beautifully located on a lovely quiet cove with views out to the open ocean. Surrounded by trees it is very private. The house has some nice updates including bidets in both bathrooms (I'm sure that is better for a septic system), although one was not working. It was perfect for the two of us and our dog. I think it would be tougher for more people, since there is very little seating in the living room and one BA is downstairs at the base of steep stairs. Great location for going back towards Bar Harbor/Acadia or further up the coast towards Machias. Restaurant selection is sparse, but what is there is good to very good. And do at least one dinner at the Treehouse Grill in Winter Harbor. It is excellent! (The charred Spanish octopus is a definite do not miss!) Now for the big BUT. The toilets both were cracked and both of the tanks were filled with black guck (possibly black mold?)! One toilet had gray water in the bowl that had a bad odor. It was gross! I would not recommend booking here until you have a firm confirmation from the owner that toilet the toilets have been replaced and that the tanks are clean and mold free!

A perfect relaxing family getaway

We had so much fun and Ray was an amazing host. We enjoyed seaglass hunting outside at low tide, kayaking, watching bald eagles through the telescope, looking for shooting stars on the clear nights, hiking up Pigeon Hill Trail and picking wild blueberries, and visiting all the shops nearby. We created nothing but the best memories this week.

Perfect Stay

Unbeatable location and view. Superb communication with Ray, our contact for the week, who went above and beyond what we were expecting. Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge trails are a short drive away from the property, and we enjoyed restaurants in Milbridge nearby. Ellsworth also has much to offer. A true "DownEast" Maine vacation!

Absolutely stunning!

The property far exceeded our expectations, we had deer walking in the front yard and the ocean was our back yard. If you are looking for the hustle and bustle of the city, this is not where you want to be but if you are looking for a relaxed and rural setting where you can explored Maines rural beauty, this is the house for you! Scott, the owner, was extremely responsive in the booking process and Ray, the property manager went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great stay.Thank you!

The Perfect Vacation Cabin

The photographs don't do the cabin justice, nor does the description give the right amount of praise to the host, Ray. From the moment we arrived Ray was on hand to provide details, local information, and suggestions. He wasn't intrusive or overbearing - just available when we needed him. The cabin itself is perfect for a couple or small family. It is RIGHT on the water. There is no "beach", but the rocks are large and perfect for setting up the provided chairs to enjoy the sun and surf. We used the telescope in the house to search the stars. While we were there, Jupiter was prominent and we were able to see 4 of it's moons! We spent most of the time there on the deck watching the lobster boats, the stars, the surf, and the various wildlife. We saw seals and birds of all kinds, including herons, pelicans, many gulls, and some kind of black duck or loon type of bird fishing the bay. The location is a little remote - you're about 20 mins away from Milbridge, which is the closest grocery store and fishmonger. You're an hour away from Bar Harbor. But if you want a place to relax, listen to records, watch the ocean and the stars, and enjoy the coast of Maine, this is the place for you. We added a book (Death in Acadia) and a couple of baking pans to the supplies (I made coffee cake while we were there). It's a gorgeous property and we didn't have nearly enough time to take full advantage of all it had to offer. We will be back.

Perfect Location!

The house is in a tranquil and relaxing location right on the water. Watching the lobster boats go in and out was a perfect way to unwind. The house is also in a great location to see local attractions, such as Acadia National Park and the West Quoddy Lighthouse. Ray is great and gave us lots of local info. We will definitely return.

late August Maine

We enjoyed our stay so much. So quiet, lots of locals, good food without the crowds. Sitting on the porch watching the moon and the birds and hearing the water lap the rocks was a real treat. The house is super clean and updated, too. Our young adult son stayed in the bunk house, which worked out perfectly. Last but definitely not least, Ray, the property manager, elevated the stay to a whole new level! He listened to our interests and gave us a lot of tips, all of which were spot on. We Love Ray!!!! It was neat to meet someone from Maine who could answer pretty much any question and who made us feel like not just anonymous rental people but a welcome part of Downeast Maine.
