We live in a separate apartment on the property and are available for questions or support that you may need, however we our very cognizant of our guests privacy and do not seek interaction unless initiated by the guest. For your stay this is your home and encourage you to treat it as such. Local restaurants and shopping in small seaside towns, all within 10 minutes by car, will keep you relaxing. Enjoy fresh seafood, lobster and Maine specialties. We can help you to locate a restaurant that will meet your needs! The local Sand Beach is less than a mile away. Enjoy live music and concerts at the Prospect Harbor Park, located just down the street from the house. Easily accessible with the free bus that picks up and drops off three times a day across from the house. The bus travels through the Schoodic Peninsula portion of Acadia National Park, which is just 3 miles from the house. It stops at the Winter Harbor ferry where you can take a 45 minute water taxi to Bar Harbor, which is also a 45 minute drive. One hour north will find you in Lubec, the easternmost point and the first place the sun rises in the United States. From there, a short trip across the bridge and you will be visiting Campobello Island and the Roosevelt Campobello International Park before crossing into CANADA (don't forget your passports!).
