The Island House

Coming Home to the Coast

Perched atop the rocky shoreline and connected to the mainland by a private footbridge, the Island House offers a front-row seat to the rhythms of the coast. Once part of a historic working waterfront, it now serves as a peaceful retreat where guests can wake to sweeping views of Mount Desert Island, watch the tide roll in, and experience a quieter side of Maine.

Historic Maine charm meets modern comfort.

Sleeps 6

1 king, 1 queen, 1 queen futon, 1 queen Murphy bed

This 3-bed, 2-bath home offers generous space and contemporary comfort throughout. A renovated mudroom transitions into a modern coastal kitchen, and the main-level bath includes a brand-new laundry area for convenience.

The open living room features gorgeous original wood and a functioning stone fireplace, while the adjacent dining room overlooks Mount Desert Island. An oversized deck sits perched above the water, framed by windows that bring in endless natural light and views.

Upstairs leads to a renovated bath, a queen guest room, and a spacious primary bedroom with a king bed and a serene outlook so beautiful it feels like a painting.

A winding boardwalk leads guests through the forest and out to the Island House—setting the tone long before you arrive.
