Acadia • Downeast • Waterfront
Your Maine Getaway
Starts Here.
Waterfront cabins, a post-and-beam barn with a hot tub, a houseboat you can actually sleep on — a small, deliberately chosen collection across Mount Desert Island, Holden and Downeast Maine.
No platform in the middle.
Every booking here is confirmed by the person who manages the property. That is slower than a checkout button, and better in the ways that matter.
Nothing skimmed off the top
No third-party service fee sitting between what you pay and what the stay is actually worth.
