Isle au Haut : locations de vacances

Really enjoyed our stay here. The views were lovely, the lake was refreshing, the beds were comfortable, lots of kitchen stuff, and the showers were hot. The house mostly has what you need. It could use a few more dish towels and bath towels. The long drive to Acadia got tiresome.

We rented both of the houses. Plenty of room for 2 families. Great location and private. We will definitely be coming back in summer time. House is very close to all the local seafood places.

Pine panelled cabin in the woods above the bay with clear view of the water and access to the dock via a path. Very peaceful and quiet. We saw a seal swimming; many birds and great dark sky for star watching. We went at a cool time of year and there was abundant rain so we could not make use of the screened porch which in the summer I imagine would be very relaxing. The cabin had all the needed amenities and then some. Minor issue was managed speedily by the host. It is the perfect place for kayaking but alas that was not possible because the Activity Shop was closed for the season.

What a cozy, beautifully furnished and decorated space. A lot of thought went into making guests feel they’re staying somewhere very special. We certainly did. The second floor apartment with its spacious deck had a view of the ocean and some spectacular sunrises. This was our first visit to Maine and we wanted somewhere central on the coast, like Owl’s Head. It was a good base to explore from. And there was lots to do close by. We were especially pleased to discover the Bernard Langlais art preserve only a few miles away. Rockland is ten minutes away and has a lot of great places to eat.

My husband and I spent our babymoon at Jennifer’s place, and waking up to the stunning lake view each day was just what I needed to unwind. I asked Jennifer if there was cooking oil available, and her mom kindly brought us a bottle of olive oil before our arrival—such a thoughtful gesture! We will definitely stay here again if we're ever in the area.

The house and views are excellent, you can sit on the back deck or outside area and just gaze out at the view, see Bald Eagles fly over every day, even saw one grab a fish from the water. Very clean and well appointed with the essentials like detergents for laundry and dishwasher, garbage bags, slat, pepper and other cooking basics, foil and cling wrap, beach chairs. Overall I can say it is a very nice house, very clean. The location is 20 - 25 minutes from Bar Harbor and maybe 20 min to Acadia. We didn't mind this at all. We ate lobster at 5 different places, if you want the absolute best Lobster rolls go to the Travilin Lobster, there is one in Trenton and one in Bar Harbor, by far the best lobster roll. Oh, and probably as important as the house being very clean, the beds were very comfortable.

Our stay at Shipwreck cottage was nothing short of magical. Idyllic setting overlooking the bay, semi-private beach, panoramic views and a bathtub to die for. Everything was spotless and even though we had lots of rain & fog, we were cozy inside and enjoyed the calm, the view and the wildlife around. The host was friendly, communicative and accommodating and provided lots of restaurant suggestions and things to do. Bar Harbor city center is an easy & scenic drive from the cottage- about 20-30 minutes away. Acadia National Park has fantastic hikes- we did Gorham mountain, Otter cliff, Jordan Pond & the hikes around Sand Beach. We were pretty early in the season so some places in town were not open yet, but we preferred the slower vibe. Our highlight of everyday was getting back to the cabin to relax and enjoy the sunset (we did have a few despite the weather!!). Our only regret is that we did not stay longer.

We had a wonderful stay! The property was exactly as described — clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for everything we needed. What really stood out was Tim’s responsiveness; he was incredibly quick to answer any questions and made sure we felt completely taken care of throughout our visit. It made the experience even more seamless and enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!
