We loved our stay at Misty's place! It was peaceful, quiet, clean, and private. We loved to walk down to the shore and sit on the rocks to look out at the ocean. Beautiful scenery! I would highly recommend staying at Misty's if you are visiting Acadia National Park!

A little slice of heaven

My husband and I stayed in Misty and Annie’s studio for five nights. The studio was very welcoming, very clean and exactly as described.. We loved kayaking on Flanders Bay kayaks were provided by Misty along with life preservers. Another favor was sitting in the Adirondack chairs overlooking the bay every morning with coffee and every evening with a nice glass of wine. Misty is so friendly and made sure that if we had any issues that she would correct them straight away, but we had no issues. We hope to go back again someday.

Get Away

Misty is incredible host - very friendly and helpful. Her place is beautiful, and had everything we needed. The view was spectacular and we loved watching the sea lion on the rock. We also really liked the location - easy to get to Acadia and the Schoodic peninsula. We also loved meeting Annie, her sweet Golden. We definitely will return.

Will be back!

This was an amazing place. Located at end of road on Flanders Bay we had a separate unit (studio) and lots of access to backyard for bonfires as well as outdoor activities like kayaking. Seen lots of animals, seal on rock, wild turkeys and deer. Annie (golden retriever) was favorite for our dog. Misty was so helpful and prepared, enJOYed her company around camp fire. The unit was ideal as we enJOYed morning coffee looking out over the bay. Visited several local restaurants like Tracy’s Seafood as well as Flanders Bay BBQ, both right up the street. Already looking forward to next visit.

Great property - amazing views!

We had a great stay! The views are absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed a great nature show one night with seals, eagles and Ospry doing some fishing right near the dock! The location is nicely situation between Bar Harbour and the Schoodic side of Acadia. We enjoyed both. The lodging was very nice - nicely decorated, clean, cozy, and perfect for the two of us. Misty was a very welcoming host. Everything was great!

The most amazing views

We loved this studio apartment. It had everything we needed and the views are breathtaking. It was a great home base to visit Schoodic peninsula, Bar Harbor, Stonington and more. To come home every evening to these views was amazing. We kayaked across Flanders Bay. Misty was amazing and I know we would be good friends if we lived near. Annie her Golden retriever is so sweet and was nice to have her since our dog could not come on this trip. Would definitely stay again.
