Loved being fully engaged with nature on this retreat!
We loved our three nights in this gorgeous setting! The view was phenomenal from sunrise to sunset and beyond with the sparkling stars and moon on the beautiful and large home balcony, pier and additional unattached sitting area - plenty of outside space for reading, reflection and just "being" . We really enjoyed the welcoming simplicity and comfort of this wonderful home away from home. The authenticity of Beals Island with its fishermen and lobstering was very unique and a joy to discover on our trip. Its residents and visitors were wonderful to meet especially on our daily hikes. We even dipped in the cold ocean once! Rick and Denise Ellis were very responsive to making our stay perfect! We'll definitely return!

We loved the down-home feel of the island and the house was even better than the spectacular pictures! The owners are great to deal with and when our car broke down in Boston and we needed to miss our first night in Maine, they were understanding and helpful as well! We left a deck of cards to go along with the many puzzles and magazines that were present in the house. Our favorite spot was the loft and it was here where we gathered each evening to just hang out and relax. We hiked the Great Wass Preserve which is right down the road from the house and spotted seals out on the rocks! The house is centrally located and we were able to drive north up to Lubec to visit the Quoddy Head Lighthouse one day and then to Bar Harbor another day!

We loved the house, the view of the bay and the people of Beals Island...the lobsters, too
The house is beautiful and thoughtfully equipped for guests. The view from the decks is priceless. Definitely a place to return to for a longer vacation.

Quiet and private
Truly loved the peace and quiet of this cottage. Our main goal was to have a relaxing vacation away from the tourist areas of the coast of Maine, but fully enjoy a place right on the water. This place was all we hoped for! Early mornings we sat on the front deck, had breskfast, and watched the lobster boats checking traps, evenings we watch the beautiful sunsets. The view from the dock is breathtaking.

Amazing!
What a beautiful cabin on a quiet cove with nature surrounding you. This was everything we hoped for and more. The description was spot on and they have anything you would need during your stay. Fully equipped with all the essentials to make our stay feel "like home". The outside seating and decks were perfect for enjoying the view, watching the boats check the lobster traps in the mornings, and watching the moon set into the ocean. You will not be disappointed.
