Mark E. Sep 15, 2024 04:54:29 AM

Summary: The Sea Captain’s property was just what our group of 14 friends needed. Its location near Acadia National Park provides many activities including hiking and sightseeing. The property manager/owner was very friendly and easy to work with.

Kevin L. Jul 21, 2024 12:40:47 AM

Summary: Warm greeting by the host when we arrived. Place was perfect for our large family. Could not have had a better location. A lot to do and see in the area. Ben was very quick to respond when we needed anything. Recommend!

Carl H. Jul 7, 2024 03:51:41 AM

Summary: The property and area exceeded our large family’s expectations. And the owner, Ben, couldn’t have been more helpful!

Ken B. Jun 30, 2024 04:17:48 AM

Summary: The property was the perfect accommodation for our family reunion of 21 people, a mixture of adults and children. Our host, Ben Walter, put it over the top. The property is ideally located in the Schoodic Peninsula away from the hustle and bustle of MDI but close enough to be able to visit. But the beauty of the Captain's House is its proximity to so much more. Don't spend all your days in the National Park, explore the region and take full advantage of Ben's knowledge. The house is circa 1860s with interesting history, well appointed with everything you need. Our entire family enjoyed their stay. One final point, if you don't like being lulled to sleep by the sound of gentle waves hitting the beach and fresh ocean breezes then this place isn't for you!

Summary: Enjoyed our stay very much. The house is definitely older but well kept and charming. The host was exceptional in his attentiveness to our needs and gave great advice on the area. The beach was actually the most interesting feature for the younger ones, which included wading and gathering of shells and small ocean wildlife. The trails around the property were not well defined and we did get lost a bit. The kitchen was really well appointed for cooking large meals. It seemed to have everything needed except fresh food, which is available at several markets in the area. The local people of the Prospect Harbor area were uniformly friendly with a definite country feel, which is quite a contrast to the nearby but unmistakably touristy Bar Harbor. We had 18 staying in the house and there was plenty of room. The access to the recital hall was also a huge plus as it is a gorgeous room for having live music. The Schoodic Peninsula was a great outing and allowed for a beautiful rocky walk along the ocean point. Would definitely consider revisiting again!

Summary: Wonderful late 19th century home, very charming with essential amenities for a group as large as ours. We've traveled to many different destinations for family vacations throughout the eastern seaboard and lake front cottages over the past decade and can say this was a personal favorite. 200+ acres to explore with clearly marked trails on the property left us wondering why we'd even need to leave the schoodic peninsula for the larger park and tourist mess inside and outside or Bar Harbor. A variety of wildlife and flora greeted us on our hikes, and while we didn't catch a glimpse of any moose there was plenty to discover. Couple the woods with the beach directly across the street and the proximity of the fresh water pond for kayaking and you have a great location to appreciate the natural settings of eastern Maine. The children enjoyed perusing the library and vintage picture books--my daughter even dipped her toes in her first Shakespeare readings. The kids put on a brief theater performance at the conference/banquet hall and serenaded us with piano tunes. Some hangups we've experienced in the past while traveling with a large (18 person) group were alleviated by plenty of bathrooms/showers (each room has a private bath) and commercial range/oven, coffee maker etc. Plenty of utensils/dishware and a well stocked pantry of spice/storage made our meals much less stressful. The host, Ben, was a pleasure to work with and we thoroughly enjoyed the home baked pie on arrival!

Summary: This is a large historic house. It fit our large extended family nicely. We were so happy to be on the quieter Schoodic side of the National Park. Bar Harbor was great to visit but the Schoodic Peninsula was perfect,

Paula M. Jul 20, 2023 07:42:22 AM

Summary: This old house by the sea was our delightful home for a week. There was plenty of room for all 24 of us and so much to do in the area. Ben greeted us our first night even though we got in rather late and gave us so many wonderful suggestions - we didn’t have time for them all but definitely plan to come back again and try some more. If you want a modern place with huge bathrooms and doors that don’t stick, this may not be the place for you. But if you want a great place with plenty of modern conveniences - good Wi-Fi, great water pressure with plenty of warm water for everyone and a well equipped kitchen - you will be in for a magical treat. Thanks Ben! We’d love to come back!

Sharon J. Oct 4, 2022 07:32:07 AM

Summary: This spacious New England home offers a great location on Schoodic peninsula. It is an hour drive to Bar Harbor or the other side of Acadia National Forest which is a bit of a trek. The house has an ample kitchen and a great space where everyone can eat together which was one of the best parts of the house. The beds were comfortable. Each bedroom had a bathroom attached, but some of the showers were small. The decor was in keeping with house, but the family room/living room had a lot of dust in it that anyone with allergies or asthma would we affected. The owner and property manager were easily accessible for problems or questions. This house met our needs so that 7 couples each had their own bedroom and bathroom. Thank you for a great Maine adventure!

David T. Sep 12, 2022 09:56:37 PM

Summary: Property is nice but needs some updating such as bathroom in bedroom next to kitchen needs better light and larger mirror. Also doors are old but some need to be sanded for better closure.
