"Thank you for sharing this beautiful, serene and special place. It exceeded all of our expectations." This is an example of the many comments left by previous guests, many of whom return year after year. The Barnacle, nestled on the waters of Blue Hill Bay, offers breathtaking panoramic views of Western and Cadillac Mountains and the islands surrounding Acadia National Park. From its quiet deck, you can often see seals, loons, and other sea and land wildlife, along with lobstermen plying their trade. Day trips to Deer Isle, Castine, Bar Harbor, and Acadia are just some of the places visitors enjoy exploring. Lovingly maintained and updated, guests will find everything they need for a comfortable, hassle-free stay. The three bedrooms include a king bed with en suite, a full bed, and a bunk bed with full and twin mattresses, accommodating up to seven guests. There is a second full bathroom, as well as a full-sized washer and dryer. The kitchen is equipped with everything needed for meal preparation. A gas grill and lobster cooker are provided on the deck, along with board games and cards for special family days. For those who must connect, fiber-optic Wi-Fi and a TV for streaming apps and watching DVDs are provided. Whether renting kayaks to paddle the shoreline, swimming off the ledges at high tide, exploring the tide pools, or using it as a base to explore Maine’s mid-coast treasures, this quiet side-road location provides guests with the solitude to make life-long memories. 
Please note: Pets cannot be accommodated. A video camera points towards the parking area and entrance.

BARNACLE ON FLYE POINT

Being on the deck looking out at the bay is one of the best feelings ever! The cottage was comfortable, peaceful, and well stocked. Location next to Atlantic Boat was a bonus. Enjoyed seeing the dolphins, eagles, and lobster boats.

The cottage was great and very comfortable...

We spent a week at the Barnacle with my family and everyone had a great time. The house is comfortable, kitchen well stocked and of course the view is spectacular. We sat on the deck for hours looking for seals, porpoise and sea birds. Beautiful location and everyone was able to relax and enjoy the ocean. Look forward to returning next year.

We enjoyed our stay so much we'd like to come back next year...

Wonderful place. Amazing views. We loved it. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

Wonderful place...

Thank you for making our first family trip to Maine so special. This property is so beautiful, well-maintained, and stocked to ensure the guests want for nothing. Adults and children had an unforgettable week! Hope to return again!

Thank you for opening your perfect cabin to us this week! We woke up each morning dazzled by the view, and loved the sunrises, seals, gulls, and all the land and sea wildlife that surrounded us. Day trips to Deer Isle, Bar Harbor, and Acadia rounded out our vacation. But our favorite part of the day was just hanging out here. We feel very fortunate.  Thank you for the memories of this special place, which we will carry with us.
