What a magical and special week we spent in New Harbor, ME. The owner was more than helpful from the moment I first inquired about the property. He sent me so many wonderful tips and ideas to make our vacation even more special. We loved the location. Quiet, peaceful, and restorative. The house was fabulous. I slept in the small upstairs bedroom and it was probably one of my favorite places in the whole house. The kitchen is a cook's dream. We cooked many meals that week and used the outdoor gas grill several times as well. We loved the Pumpkin colored hardwood floors, the wood stove in the kitchen, the fireplace in the LR and used both pretty well everyday. The beds were super comfortable with nice linens. The furniture was comfortable and the deck got a lot of use even though we had several days in the 30's with high wind. It didn't stop us from sitting out there enjoying the great view and fabulous sunsets each evening. We clamored around on the rocks and explored the whole area. We visited Eastport, Bar Harbor, Bath, New Brunswick, Camden, and many of the smaller little villages all up and down the coast. We went whale watching in Bar Harbor and enjoyed breakfast at Moody's diner two mornings. The Cupboard Cafe was a great place for breakfast and we really enjoyed the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. We also visited the Point Quoddy Lighthouse furhter North. All in all a great trip, wonderful accomodations, and a very accomodating owner. The only warning I will give you is the rust in the water due to the granite coast in ME. We washed white clothes and they turned orange. The owner has told me he will soon be adding a type of well system that will take care of that. He left us 4 large containers of water in the pantry that we used throughout the week for drinking and coffee. A wonderful experience and we whole-heartedly recommend this property.

Owner's Response: Jean, Thank you for the review, sorry about the water, we drilled a new well March 1 2011. The old well was only 40 feet deep in porus soil that allowed vegetation to seep in and was on an iron vein. At 57 feet we hit solid granite and continued to drill to 180 feet. We also beefed up the filtration adding two 120 gallon rentention tanks. Now the water is totally clear! We hope you return soon!
