Summary: This is a rustic place built in 1820 so not like a hotel but what a great time for families and kids. The beach is a minute away and a lovely little town is a short walk. If you are looking for a relaxing time far from the madding crowd this will fit the bill!

Thomas C. Aug 4, 2024 12:42:08 AM

Summary: A magical setting for a summer family reunion. The home - full of history and character - is steps from ocean, meadow, and forest. And Ben, the proprietor, couldn’t be more informative, kind, and thoughtful. He was spot-on with all of the area’s gems, and the surprise homemade berry/rhubarb pie was a huge hit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you very much, Ben!

Summary: This is a charming victorian home with so much room!! Plenty of bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, fan, and storage space. Ocean and meadow views. Wonderful sea breezes. Ben is working hard to maintain and improve this property. He was easily available and full of suggestions and tidbits. Location is perfect. Close enough to both Schoodic and Acadia but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. I would definitely recommend this property.

Paula S. Jun 25, 2024 07:21:28 PM

Summary: Ben was a spectacular host! He had a lot of great suggestions for what to do in the area. The house had great access to the beach and Schoodic peninsula activities that were much less crowded than the Bar Harbor area. It was only an hour away from Bar Harbor, so not a bad drive for activity booked there. Only 5 minutes from Lunch on the Wharf…one great lunch!

Peter W. Aug 13, 2023 04:18:56 AM

Summary: Our kind host Ben met us upon arrival and described all the nearby attractions and we took full advantage. In addition to the sandy ocean beach across the road, we hiked Schoodic Head in nearby Acadia, ate at Lunch on the Wharf in Corea, golfed at Grindstone, hiked and swam at Donnell Lake SP, explored Petit Manan Bird Sanctuary and visited Winter Harbor for coffee and breakfast. Our 3 generation family group of 13 appreciated the many bedrooms with private baths!

John D. Aug 3, 2023 01:10:53 AM

Summary: It was wonderful. Ideal location away from the crowded tourist areas but convenient to Acadia park. Ben met us when we arrived and gave us information on the local area. When we were leaving my granddaughter said she didn’t want to leave. House was very unique and lovely.

Dale S. Jul 25, 2023 07:31:11 PM

Summary: Unique in that there was a lot to do, beach day, fishing, Bar Harbor, Acadia, etc.

Mary G. Jul 17, 2023 09:29:30 PM

Summary: We were a party of 12 and range in age from 2 to 80. A wonderful time was had by all! Ben was great to talk to - helpful and had super suggestions regarding the area. We thank him so much

Karen L. Aug 16, 2022 03:39:31 AM

Summary: We had the most wonderful stay at Prospect Harbor!! We had 3 generations vacationing with us and there was something to do for everybody. The house is expansive with ensuite bathrooms in every bedroom (a very rare find!), including a first floor suite perfectly designed for older family members who have trouble with stairs. A gorgeous private beach is directly across the street and we enjoyed walking down first thing in the morning with our coffee and again later in the day to sit and enjoy the quiet and the sun. Incredible hikes are nearby, with varied terrain and for all skill levels. It was a perfect place to bring the dogs, which are welcome everywhere including restaurants. The house has many areas to grab some alone time and a fabulous living room and dining room area where all can gather together for meals and games. Cannot recommend highly enough! We hope to come back with an even bigger group next time and also rent the gorgeous Inn next door! Thank you to our wonderful host Ben who was available to answer any questions and share his recommendations, and for entertaining us with uplifting stories of how he and his wife were able to preserve this beautiful and unique area from development.

Beryl S. Aug 4, 2022 04:03:07 PM

Summary: We enjoyed this property greatly. A perfect spot to experience the Downeast coast. Lots of places to hike, enjoy the wild flowers, the beach right across the street, listening to the gentle tide come in at night, used the lobster pot provided to have an authentic lobster dinner, and of course the ferry into Bar Harbor for souvenirs. The hikers in the family did Cadillac Mt , while others just lounged around the inn and read. The best part was the teen age girls did not miss the Jersey shore at all. Lots big Great Memories Made.
