About this property

ChaseHouse SpiritRock

SpiritRock has everything you need for a perfect family vacation. Experience all Mount Desert Island has to offer. Located across Somes Pond, you have the unique ability to swim and hike without having to drive anywhere else. Additionally, the house is situated between the two most popular towns of Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor, providing you flexibility to enjoy both. The home sits on eight acres of property, with benches and chairs throughout, a great way to decompress and be in nature.

SpiritRock was designed to be harmonious with nature and support families with the opportunity to connect. The deck has a gas grill, the yard has a hammock and plenty of places to sit. We provide yoga mats and a few water noodles. The first floor of the house has a remote controlled fire place, couches, the kitchen and dining room table. The ground-floor has board games and a TV. The TV uses an AppleTV that includes Netflix.

We love to communicate with guests before their trip to help provide local recommendations and answer any questions. Our property manager or ourselves are available during your stay in the event an issue arises.

Warm, spacious house

We were in Acadia for just a few days w a couple friends, so wanted convenience and comfort. The house is centrally located, in a peaceful wooded setting across from a lake, and was spotless. Enjoyable stay!

Peaceful seclusion by the pond

What a fantastic property! The lush landscaping greets you as you pull into the long driveway. This house is secluded but close enough to feel connected to everything. We enjoyed the house and made several full meals in the kitchen. Sat outside and watched the birds, lightning bugs, and endless stars. WE LOVED THE POND!!!

Perfect location

This was our first time visiting the Bar Harbor area and having this comfortable home to return to after our full days of exploring was perfect. The home is well situated close to downtown but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Some highlights: - communication from hosts was delightful and helpful in helping us to navigate the area and select where to eat and what to do; In fact, Ann went out of her way to mail our 5-yo's stuffed lobster that we thought was lost forever! We can't thank you! Disaster averted! - the house is right across from a beautiful swimmable pond with short hiking trails around it and accessible just a short walk from the house; - house is stacked with all necessities needed for a comfortable stay in an idyllic setting; We would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to explore the area.

Peaceful Property - highly recommend!

What a gift to be able to experience this property! Basics: very clean, bed was comfy, gas fireplace was super easy to use, Tv downstairs was a breeze to use, gas grill outside was easy to use, lots of seating areas outside, etc. We hiked the park every day using this home as a starting point. Good location and a great relaxing place to come back to every day! We especially loved our time on the deck surrounded by rhododendrons - you are on the road, but except during 'rush' hour, no cars or noise. We used all of the backyard seating areas each day and watched the trees change as the leaves progressed through the week. Lots of birds and deer. Loved the lavender by the table! The owners know what they are doing. This place was a delight! Obviously, if you are a gourmet chef, the kitchen is too small. But we cooked almost every night and had zero issues. We are very thankful to have had such a peaceful place to lay our heads each night. It was an amazing place to start and end each day!

Lovely

We had a great time at the Chase House. The location can’t be beat - so close to Acadia which allowed us to do a lot of hiking and exploring. The house was comfortable and cozy for hanging out during stormy weather. Beautiful property and great communication from the owners. Highly recommend!

beautiful serene setting

We greatly enjoyed our two-week stay at ChaseHouse! The cottage was immaculate, beautifully laid out, with an up-to-date kitchen and long wood dining table, and comfortable living room and downstairs den. Great views, with lovely landscaped property, including outdoor table, deck, hammock, and rolling lawn with flowers and flowering trees. We enjoyed crossing the road to the small swimming launch at the top of Somes Pond. Occasional traffic from the nearby road (we'd prefer even more secluded) but largely quiet. Owners were extremely helpful, welcoming and responsive. A great find!

Perfect Maine Vacation

My wife and two young children loved it here! Wonderful outdoor space to enjoy the weather and beauty of Maine. The swimming spot across the road is magic. The house is perfectly clean and it was easy to feel at home. Robert and Bart gave lots of recommendations to put the experience over the top. Really really nice time.

About the host

Hosted by Bart Chase, Proprietor

Host profile image
The Chase Family has long been connected with Mount Desert Island. "Mimi" Chase, the deceased matriarch of the Chase Family, and her husband Robert Woodward, 50 years ago first arrived in Maine from Florham Park, NJ to homestead and stake their roots on Green Lake in Ellsworth Maine. Eventually they purchased a summer cottage on Green Lake's shore edge where they opened their home to their three children and 7 grandchildren to learn to swim, kayak, fish, build a camp fire, hike and explore Acadia National Park. And just as importantly, to learn to relax with family and friends and to form everlasting memories. Bart, Mimi's youngest son, and his wife Ann and four adult children , from Summit, NJ, are owners of ChaseHouse vacation home properties. Bart and Ann and their four children and two black Labrador Retrievers Bhodi and Woogie are adventurous nature loving outdoors people who enjoy extended and short stays throughout the seasons at their homes in Maine to explore the granite Atlantic coast and Acadia Park trails. On any given day the Chase Family, their friends, and invited guests are likely biking, hiking, boating, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, or simply wandering on a new uncharted adventure out and about in Acadia Park, at Green Lake, Schoodic, or elsewhere . If they are not in Acadia Park exploring, they are likely playing bocci ball at the Lompac in Bar Harbor, watching a movie at Reel Pizza, or chill-laxing on the Shore Path dangling their feet over a granite cliff overlooking Frenchman's bay, or lounging on the hammock with Cadillac Mountain in eye sight. The Chase Family is pleased to welcome guests to lodge in one of ChaseHouse's vacation rental properties to explore Mount Desert Island, and Acadia National Park and to experience the many attractions, natural delights, and scenic, relaxing beauty that the Island offers.
