Fantastic!

Really great property, well maintained and clean. Loved the dock and the lake. Kitchen and screened in porch were great for family time. The ceiling fans in all the bedrooms kept everyone nice and comfortable with the Maine air wafting in through the large screened windows. Location was an easy drive to everything the island has to offer.

Adventurous relaxation

We had a great trip that included dad (me) and daughter, my friends and their two kids plus a close friend of ours for several of the days. The weather outlook was mostly rain, but it ended up being sunny almost the entire trip which was amazing. The house is huge and beautiful; the pictures do not do it justice. It’s better than advertised even. We rented kayaks which are easy to put in/out at the house access. We got fishing licenses and caught fish constantly, including 3 bass each approaching 20 inches. (We threw them all back.) The house is the perfect combination of remote/private but also just short drives to the good hiking. If you are looking for water/coastal hikes that aren’t super crowded (or at least weren’t for us), I’d totally recommend the ship harbor trail and especially the schooner head overlook trail. The latter was just a random stop we made on our last day and wowza, what a view! It even includes a coastal cave you can get into. We hadn’t seen that talked about anywhere when planning our hikes, and it was awesome. We also really liked the food at MDI Lobster Pound. Anyway, the trip was awesome and the house was great. The only thing I might suggest (so that it doesn’t seem like I am friends with the owner or something haha) is that at least when we were there it got quite warm during day time (mid July) so you might want to bring an extra fan. The house is really really nice. Great trip!

Wonderful Acadia retreat

Beautiful, modern home on the quiet side of Acadia National Park. There were four women with plenty of space. Could use more outdoor seating for larger parties. Extremely quiet, star filled sky, and loons! After climbing, it was wonderful to come back to a peaceful place.

Beautiful contemporary lakefront on very quiet lake

Well situated on island, off the road, great living space, and en-suite baths for most bedrooms. Wonderful for adult group who wants both time together and apart. Lots of lake frontage but unfortunately not visible from deck due to overgrowth. Recommend bringing folding chairs for water views.

Architecturally Super Cool, Clean Modern Home

We loved the openness of this home and all the windows that provided great views of the outdoors to us as we were snuggled up inside. This home was spotless and fully equipped. It was perfect to come home to after a great day of hiking!

Amazing home in beautiful surroundings

Thanks for letting us stay in your truly beautiful home. As other reviewers said, pictures do not do it justice. The house is the perfect combination of modern comfort. We loved visiting the busy park knowing we could return to our own private slice of nature. The red Adirondack chair by the pond is a really special spot. Thanks, Marsha for sharing your special home with us.

Great house and great location - Highly Recommend

Marsha's home was great. As another reviewer said, the pictures don't do it justice! the layout was great for our two families - 4 adults and four kids total for two weeks. Plenty of space for everyone. Everyone loved hanging out by the lake during the day and on the screened porch at night. If visiting Acadia, this is definitely the side of the island you want to be on. Bar Harbor gets busy - but this side of the island is just what the locals call it - the Quiet Side. Would definitely recommend this house.

"a dream come true" - a quote from a friend after I told her about our stay.

The field in the front of the house reminded me of a Klimt painting. A grass covered path to Seal Cove where are Kayaks stayed, to kayak at a moments notice. Sightings: an Eagle catching a fish, a beaver swimming by the dock, Loons (not only their calls, but a Loon couple with two babies. The house itself - architecturally beautiful! What more could you ask, other than the perfect spot to spend with those you love.

Excellent stay!

This is an excellent place to stay. It was quiet and private, and a short drive to all the places we wanted to go. The house had everything we needed to cook in, plenty of space for everyone to eat together and relax in the house. The deck out back was large, and the ADK chairs (with footrests!) were perfect. There is a beautiful view of the lake and trees from the deck and the dock was just a short walk. The tree swing was a great find as we had kids with us. The bedrooms were comfortable, and the bathrooms were amazing. Everything is beautifully decorated but comfortable to live in. Marsha was quick to respond to all questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely family break at the Acadia

This place is a true gem! That honestly is all I need to say. It is even prettier and stylish than the pictures, and the grounds and the lake behind make it magical. Mine is a large family, hence we had parents, and kids aged 12, 10 and 2. We stayed here for 4 nights and everyone loved it. The amenities are A+, location perfect to get to Acadia in minutes, and it is secluded enough to enjoy the forest without any neighbors visible. My sons who are raised in the burbs of Philly saw the Milky Way for the first time and that alone was worth the price of admission. My father-in-law was beaming cheek to cheek after we walked to visit the car museum down the street. Wish we had brought/rented kayaks, but it would've been a tad chilly for kids on the water. If you go in warmer weather, definitely give that a try. All in all, a very happy and relaxing time with the family in impressive digs. What more can one ask for! Thank you, Marsha!!!

Beautiful modern home on Seal Cove

The 6 of us had an awesome time in this quiet, classy home on the shores of Seal Cove pond. Good location on the quiet side of Mt. Desert. Well stocked kitchen, working fireplace and beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms. Can be difficult to find in the dark as the house number is set off the road on a bent metal rectangle, but otherwise perfect!

MAGICAL....a super stylish, cozy oasis.

The photos on this listing do NOT do it justice. Being unfamiliar with the area, we did miss the lane that leads to the residence, but once we found it and entered we could not have been more pleased. It accomplishes the tricky problem of blending edginess (mid century modern and a little warm industrial) with a sense of coziness. The fireplace, the lighting, the comfortable beds, the modern and plentiful appliances and utensils, and space to spread out, along with the magical setting close to a lake where we watched beavers ambitiously swim and take down a tree, and relaxed on a hammock at waters edge were perfect! It was hard for us to leave to explore the area given that all of us felt so at home. The abundance of large windows display an awe inspiring view of nature and the lake, even giving us a final day display of a snowy fairytale land! Marsha was very accommodating (and has EXEMPLARY taste). If we had any suggestions it would be for a more comfy sofa, less noisy dining chairs and storage in the two larger bedrooms. But if these tiny issues are a problem for you in the scope of this beauty, sorry, but you probably can't be made happy. (lol) We didn't want to leave (One of us dropped a couple tears and it wasn't a woman. lol) Thank you, Marsha! From all 4 of us! I hope you will reach out to me for numerous photos I took of the place, to better describe your beautiful home. You need to up your rates!

Maine in September... Who knew?

In the past, we visited Acadia in July and August. This year, we came after Labor Day and enjoyed the late summer weather without the crowds. We loved the cottage’s modern aesthetic, thoughtful layout, and easy access to the pond. I swam to a nearby island and back twice! Cyclists can also enjoy a ride down to the Bass Harbor light and Seawall. The restaurant scene was still vibrant, and we ate outside once a day. If you get good weather, everything you love about Acadia — Beehive Trail, biking the Carriage roads, lobster pounds — is easier and better in September!

Bugless in Maine

This was our first time at this house although we heave been coming to Seal Cove for over twenty years. We loved the open design, the functional kitchen, and in particular the screened in side porch that greatly expanded the sense of space and provided the experience of still being in nature without having to contend with the bugs.

We Loved It!

We absolutely loved our stay on Mount Desert Island. This beautiful modern home is tucked in the lush woods of Acadia National Park. Our group of 8 had plenty of room with multiple bedrooms, showers and living space. Laundry on site was also very nice. The lake front is a beautiful backdrop as you can see the mountains in the distance. Marsha was an incredible host, with very timely responses and carefully labeling what we need to know. It is about a 20 minute drive to bar harbor which we liked. Take advantage of this wonderful place and don't miss out on the beautiful sunrise of Cadillac Mountain. If we ever come back we will be staying here again. Thanks Marsha!

Lovely 4 bedroom house with all the comforts. The screen porch was especially nice to talk, work puzzles, etc. and the location is great for hiking, eating, and site seeing. The owner was responsive to questions (where to eat). Plus, direct access to the water - my husband swam a couple of days! We will stay here again when we return to Acadia!

A beautiful lake home with all the amenities

This was a wonderful place to spend the week. The house is stunning, with lots of space, windows, and natural light. The full kitchen was great for making meals, and the spacious living spaces offered plenty of comfort for our group of eight. Beds were comfortable, and bathrooms were plenty. We enjoyed hanging out on the deck, relaxing in the hammock, and swimming and kayaking from the dock. This is a special place. Marsha and her team were very easy to work with and communicate with. This place was the gold standard.

Highly recommend! Beautiful house and responsive owner

Our group of seven stayed here for almost a week in June and it as great. There are two master bedrooms and two bedrooms with two single beds in each - perfect for our setup. The house is beautiful and everything is really top notch. It's about a 20-30 minute drive to Bar Harbor, but the drive was so gorgeous that wasn't an issue. It is centrally located if you are looking to explore the entire island. Marsha also was incredibly quick to respond and even sent back some things we forgot when we departed. Five stars for sure.

Perfect Lake house!

Thank you to Marsha, she was a great host! We had the most amazing vacation in this home! We had the pleasure of seeing the leaves change for the fall season in Acadia National Park, which was amazing, but paired with waking up and coming back from The Park to this home, was magical! The home is completely surrounded by the woods which has a very happy and zen feeling when waking up in the morning. The views of the lake are just phenomenal! It isn't a complete full view, but that is what we loved about it, it felt like the home was placed within nature, not that nature was moved out of the way for the home. It was a wonderful home for us to unwind and relax, perfect for an escape. We appreciated the little distance from the main parts of the area, as it gave us an opportunity to take beautiful drives through the neighborhoods in the Acadia area, while at the same time feeling peacefully away from the fray of a busy town, but not too far from where we wanted to be at any time. Would come again a thousands times and recommend it to anyone! Thank you for sharing your home with us!
