New Listing:
This is a new listing my family has decided to rent out this summer home. The house is, and has been, immaculately clean. It is surrounded by water on three sides. There are two very accessible beaches, both private. This is a very peaceful place on the end of a peninsula with only three houses on it. This is the last house at the very end. The second-to-last house is my fathers and he/we are available to assist with any needs and advice on what to see, where to go, etc. This place accommodates 4 (6 if you want to put a couple children on the roll away bed). The house is also great for a husband and wife getaway or a couples retreat for vacationers wanting a quiet and scenic place to forget their worries and just relax.
How far?:
The house is 1½ hours east of Bangor and the Bangor International Airport. 4½ hours northeast of Portland, 5½ hours from Boston and 10½ hours from New York City.
What's nearby?:
Campobello Island, New Brunswick (FDR's summer home) is within an hour and a half, as is Quoddy Head, easternmost lighthouse in the US.
Lobsters and clams are readily available in Milbridge (lobster and clam pots provided with cottage). This is one of the largest wild blueberry producing areas in the world, so there are plenty of berries available nearby during the season (late July through August); berry picking is permitted at Petit Manaan National Wildlife Refuge in season.
Activities in this part of Maine include hiking the Petit Manan Coastal Wildlife Refuge trails,visiting the pink granite shores at McClellan Park in Milbridge, exploring the crashing surf at Acadia National Park’s Schoodic Point in Winter Harbor, hiking the Bold Coast up in Cutler, visiting the wonderful Milbridge historical society museum, and not to mention checking out the tourist attractions in Bar Harbor.
