About the host
Your host
I moved to Maine 30 years ago, thinking it may be a temporary stay. I never left. Nature is one of the most important things to me and Acadia offers more than I can possibly keep up with in my spare time. In the middle of summer I still am able to hike without seeing another soul, go for a bike ride any time of day, kayak in any number of lakes or coves, and swim at the end of a long day. As a landscape designer I see the beauty of nature and capture that in my work. And for those days when I just want to get away, I find solace in the fact that I can walk out my back door and step into Acadia National Park.
Why they chose this property
The sister cottage to Fox Den, Ripples Cottage, is located next door. Ripples Cottage has been so highly sought after over the years that we decided to build Fox Den next door as both an independent rental and also as potential overflow for larger parties wishing to be close together. Tastefully and professional landscaping divide the spaces in an optimal way with screening, but allow easy access to one another if needed.
What makes this property unique
Fox Den is located on a quiet side street with little traffic. One of the things my family and I love about staying there is the solitude of the space. Being set back from the road even when cars do pass by, we feel protected. We also love the large deck which provides a warm sunny space for morning coffee and an enjoyable sunset viewing area in the early evenings. The perimeter path around the property is enjoyable to walk and viewing wildlife in the back meadow can be exciting. The loons call to each other between the three lakes and the owls serenade us most evenings. It is a true home away from home feeling for us when we have the luxury of staying in our own rental.
