About this property

Comfortable Home On 3 Private Wooded Acres In The Heart Of Mount Desert Island

We built our home in 2004, cut from over 3 acres of woods in the heart of Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. It sits 1 mile north of Somes Sound, and is within easy reach of hiking, biking, carriage roads, boat tours, and all of the shopping and restaurants to be found in the several quaint towns on the island.

We created our space to gather and connect with family and friends, and hope that you enjoy it, too.

Our home sleeps eight easily. The master bedroom has a king bed and is located on the main floor. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are on the 2nd floor. The kitchen is fully-appointed to help you create memorable meals; dine inside on our farmhouse table, or eat on the deck. We also maintain a lovely kitchen garden, and welcome guests to pick what they need to round out their meals - it would be a shame for fresh produce to go to waste! After a busy day of adventuring in the park, relax in the deep jacuzzi master tub, or sit by the Solo Stove fire pit and cook S'mores.
We have Free WiFi high-speed internet with Smart TVs located on the main floor and another in the basement room

Very good stay
My wife and I and our two dogs had a great stay. We were lucky to find Fernhaven. It's a short drive to Acadia, cafes, restaurants, etc., and the property is a nice place to relax, private, set back from main roads. Kirk was very accommodating and responded quickly to any questions.

Perfect
The home was perfect! Super clean and well cared for! We would stay again for sure! The garden was full of herbs and end of season veggies making amazing meals! The communication with the owner was perfect! Our first time renting VRBO and will do again! The property it situated perfectly on the Island! The owners have a welcome book to help with the best eateries and places to visit, helped perfectly! Be sure to check out the parks reservations schedule for Cadillac Mountain, we saw several vehicles turned away as they did NOT have reservations! This is the best, most beautiful National Park we have visited yet!

beautiful and private
A wonderful home close to Acadia and BH but so nice and quiet spent time just relaxing in the woods; had one problem with the water pressure but the host fixed it that day, very responsive, folks loved the garden, and the hot tub was used!
