Mount Desert Island information:
Acadia National Park is just minutes away from Majestic Point. Take a guided whale-watching tour from the pier in Bar Harbor, bikes can be rented in town or just bring your own, go hiking, mountain climbing, sailing, wind surfing, kayaking, canoeing, sight-seeing.......the list goes on and on. Bar Harbor's gift shops are only 9 miles away and other harbors all over the Island welcome visitors as well. Explore the hiking trails or take a picnic to the beach. Buy a park pass for only 5.00 USD and visit the famous Thunder Hole and Sand Beach. Sight-seeing is at it's best on any part of Mount Desert Island. The weather is spectacular and cool nights might require a sweatshirt or even a jacket! 'Dark Sky' viewers love the pristine viewing of the constellations from atop Cadillac Mountain or even better from the house on Majestic Point. You can't get any better than this place for a vacation of a lifetime!! Oh, you won't want to forget your camera!!
Trenton and Ellsworth attractions:
Trenton, Maine has much to offer away from Bar Harbor. The Hancock Regional Airport is just a mile away where you will see many private jets and regional commercial aircraft flying in. Just off the runway there are sight-seeing flights available to view Bar Harbor from the sky and for the dare devil in you there are Glider rides available as well. Trenton also has many lobster pounds to get the 'fresh catch of the day' to take home and cook yourself or just sit at a picnic table and eat right there, they'll cook it up for you! There is also a local IGA grocery store across from the airport for your shopping convenience. Trenton also has a putt-putt golf course and a driving range available. Ellsworth has a Wal-Mart store and the famous L.L. Bean Outlet as well as a movie theater. Many churches are found throughout the area and please don't hesitate to pop into a church supper you might find around town......visitors are always welcome!
Additional information about Majestic Point:
This home is still owned by mother who currently resides in an assisted living home in Bar Harbor. My parents spent over 22 summers here. Most of the oil paintings you'll see were done by my father. I'm sure you will take good care of their home. It holds many special memories for our entire family.
There is a croquet set in the basement you are welcome to set up on the lawn. There are games and cookbooks in the dining room cabinet. You will also find an American flag in the cubby that you are welcome to 'run up the flag pole'! The beach is filled with shells and beautiful rocks, bring a bucket to collect some special souvenirs! Anything you find in the house, you are welcome to use. Just leave things where they were for our next guests. I hope you will sign the guestbook on the kitchen table and give us any feedback that you think would make this an even better vacation spot so you will return each year to make your own special memories on Majestic Point! Thank you!
