Overview
3 Bedroom, 2.5 Bathroom Private Home
We built our home in 2004, cut from over 3 acres of woods in the heart of Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. It sits 1 mile north of Somes Sound, and is within easy reach of hiking, biking, carriage roads, boat tours, and all of the shopping and restaurants to be found in the several quaint towns on the island.
We created our space to gather and connect with family and friends, and hope that you enjoy it, too.
Our home sleeps seven easily. The master bedroom has a king bed and is located on the main floor. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are on the 2nd floor. The kitchen is fully-appointed to help you create memorable meals; dine inside on our farmhouse table, or eat on the deck. We also maintain a lovely kitchen garden, and welcome guests to pick what they need to round out their meals - it would be a shame for fresh produce to go to waste! After a busy day of adventuring in the park, relax in the deep jacuzzi master tub, or sit by the fire pit and cook S'mores.

A fabulous family home
This was one of the cleanest most well stocked home we've rented. The owners were absolutely wonderful leaving us a welcome basket and great instructions and helping us out when we left something by mistake! We loved the fire pit, hot tub, and badminton! Very Close to hikes of acadia and bar harbour. Felt very much at home.
Gorgeous and welcoming. Great location for both Acadia and Bar Harbor
Found it with ease and Kirk had everything ready for us. Place is fantastic and comfortable. We enjoyed our 3 nights there. Wish we could have stayed longer. Jim
The best vacation home!
FernHaven is the best vacation rental we have found, ever. The house is meticulously well-maintained; it is perfectly clean. It feels like home because of all of the thoughtful touches that Kirk and Claudine have added. The house is full of Acadia decor and books/maps to study. Not only are there linens and paper products, but there were s'mores ingredients, flashlights, maps of the park, shower products, and condiments in the fridge! Every detail is accounted for in this home. There is a master suite with soaking tub and shower, as well as washer-dryer. Upstairs, there are 2 bedrooms (one has a fun kid's loft!) and another full bathroom. The kitchen is a chef's dream, fully stocked and then some with cooking supplies. The garden is full of herbs and veggies you can add to meals. The fire pit and badminton court are fun extras! The hot tub is perfect for a soak after hiking all day. The property is secluded - you won't see another soul once you turn down the driveway. The house is in a perfect location to get to hiking trails in the park as well as Bar Harbor. We did not want to leave because this house felt like home to us! Kirk and Claudine were so kind; they checked in before and during our trip to make sure we were prepared and comfortable. Thank you, Kirk and Claudine, for a most memorable trip to Mt. Desert Island! We will be repeat visitors to FernHaven, without a doubt :)
A wonderful stay and thoughtful hosts
We spent a weekend in Kirk and Claudia's home and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Kirk reached out several times to make sure we were comfortable before, during and after our stay, we received a very nice welcome basket, and the home itself was spectacular. It is spacious, well-appointed with everything our family needed to eat and relax, and is in a truly peaceful forest-like setting. The fact that it is also just a few minutes away from Bar Harbor and Acadia makes it ideal. Thank you so much Kirk and Claudine - we hope to be back soon!
Perfect for a family vacation.
Many thanks to Kirk and Claudine for allowing us to share their beautiful home. The location was just perfect for exploring all the island has to offer, yet private and secluded in the woods. We enjoyed the hot tub and making Smore's at the fire pit. The beds were quite comfortable and the entire place was nicely decorated with many Acadia and Maine touches. Since we were visiting so early in the season, the garden plants were just beginning to grow. What a great excuse to return to see the very cute garden filled with herbs and vegetables, not to mention blueberries to pick! This was a fabulous place for our family vacation to celebrate our daughter's college graduation.
Wow! great space
It's a beautiful home and very well maintained. Everything you could need for your stay is provided. Will visit again!
