Beautiful House & Area for a Quiet Retreat or Family Fun
Great layout and location. Beautiful views of the water and peaceful, quiet of the woods. Our dogs enjoyed the many sliding glass window "lookouts" so that they could perform their neighborhood watch duties, and they adored the beach which is a short walk (with stairs) away. We enjoyed being able to do yoga on the upstairs bridge away from the pups while still keeping an eye on them. (There is a baby gate at the bottom of the stairs so you can easily keep little kids and older pups safe.)
The hosts are thoughtful with helpful notes and kitchen & house are stocked with the kinds of things you might forget & need in a pinch. The house is very clean - you wouldn't know it's a pet-friendly property. There are a handful of cat themed decor pieces, but our highly sensitive allergies were never triggered.
Accessibility-wise, the house seems well set-up for folks with mobility limitations & those who use wheelchairs: ramp to the front door, wide pathways throughout the first floor, wide doors onto deck, and I *think* grab bars in the walk-in shower in the main bedroom's en suite. The power went out twice while we were visiting - once briefly while we were at Acadia NP and a 2nd longer time while we were there, and the hosts were readily available & walked us through where to find lanterns and a small generator/power bank that can be used to run multiple electronics for longer than we needed. Note for if you rely on a device that needs more power.
Overall - loved our stay here!
