Your suite features a large stone fireplace with a wood stove and leather sofa, wood beamed ceilings, and a 280 square foot country kitchen. It also has a separate TV area with a comfy sectional sofa and an extra large flat screen TV.
Relax on the spacious 28 ft. deck with a stunning, unobstructed view of Ripple Pond with rolling wooded hills and multiple wildlife including bald eagles, deer, egrets, falcons, hawks, ducks, beaver, frogs, loons, wild turkeys, geese, and even the occasional sea otter. BBQ on the deck and enjoy indoors or out on one of our 2 large dining tables; or, head out to one of the many eateries on the island and enjoy some fresh Maine lobster, crab, or fresh fish! Sit by the fire pit after a long day of hiking Acadia National Park; which offers over 100 miles of nature trails with breathtaking views, or after touring one of the many quaint towns on Mount Desert Island.
Our location is just 10 minutes to Southwest Harbor and 15 minutes to Bar Harbor, the popular tourist destination on the edge of the sea with many quaint shops and restaurants to explore. Smell the crisp, clean sea air of the Atlantic Ocean at Sea Wall with a picnic lunch about 20 minutes away. Visit one of the Local Craft Fairs or Farmers Markets in multiple places on the island.

Also past the Pond`s End dock at Long Pond is Pretty Marsh Picnic area along the ocean's edge about 2 miles away. You could also take in a play at the Acadia Repertory Theatre or sit alongside Somes Sound by the Historic Somesville Bridge and Library where the resident Bald Eagle resides and watch various types of boats go by.

Emily S. Oct 28, 2024 10:53:53 AM

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay at the large lower level of this beautiful home. There was lots of space, both indoor and outdoor, and the place was very private and clean. Once we saw how busy Bar Harbor was, we were glad to be staying on the quiet side of the island. Thanks for sharing your place with us!

Summary: The property was perfect for us. We're celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary (without kids). It's nice to be close to hiking and kayaking but the quiet mornings on the deck and the starlit evenings around the fire really made it special for us.

Ciara G. Sep 16, 2024 08:41:11 AM

Summary: Location is convenient to everything. Back deck is great to chill on in the evenings and the silence was so amazing. Bed was super comfy and a lot bigger than expected. Having a washer and dryer was incredibly useful.

Deanne H. Sep 8, 2024 03:06:28 AM

Summary: We enjoyed our stay so much! Quiet mornings on the porch, drinking coffee and watching the animals on the pond were a great way to start the day. The location offered privacy and quiet but also great, easy access to Acadia. The owner was friendly and helpful. We would absolutely love to visit again!

Mark J. Sep 3, 2024 03:24:46 AM

Summary: Tall Pines Retreat is the ideal setup for anyone looking to enjoy Acadia National Park and the surrounding area without the chaos and stress associated with Bar Harbor. Sunrises, stary nights, relaxed environment ... what vacations are supposed to be!
