Three kayaks, one double with rudder, two lake Otters plus PFDs and paddles available. (Use at your own risk.)
The garden is professionally landscaped with native plants, including wild blueberries and ferns.
There is a lawn for play and games. (Look for deer at dawn and dusk, fox, eagles, wild turkeys and raccoons.) On the water, you may see seals and dolphins. In the basement is a ping-pong table, lawn games and other amusements for children and adults including many books.
Sail up to the house (you will need a dinghy to get to beach), on this pristine shore with edible mussels. Free Island Explorer bus stops right outside the driveway during peak season (consult Downeast Transportation website for schedule). Within walking distance of historic Salisbury Cove and 1.5 miles from Acadia National Park Hulls Cove entrance. Seven minutes by car from Hancock County airport, one hour from Bangor. Pirate's Cove mini-golf down the road as well as Mainley Meats (Bar-B-Que), Udder Delights (deserts and ice cream), and the Trenton Lobster Pound and Bar Harbor Lobster Pounds (set the table, order your lobsters, go pick them up and enjoy on the deck) or eat on their picnic tables.
You can fish in the ocean without a license or get a license and fish on Hamilton Pond which is within walking distance. If you are familiar with kayaks, paddle across the cove to the MDI Biolab and float through the stone arch at high tide, or paddle further around the point and picnic in 'The Ovens' which are shallow waterside caves with pebble beaches, best at low tide.
In a boat, you can sail or motor to docks in Bar Harbor or drive (7 minutes) to town.
The Hulls Cove entrance to Acadia National Park is 2 miles away. Drive there, bike there, or take the bus (you can put your bikes on the front grill of the bus). Ranger programs, hiking on graded paths up the mountain, or biking, or walking on the carriage trails (no cars) are fun things to do. You can swim in a lake with a lifeguard or dare the 'Ledges' and enter Echo Lake by the cliff. The Oceanarium is nearby. There is a lobster hatchery there.
A local, historic church within walking distance is Eden Baptist Church but many other churches are in town.
Kebo Valley golf Club is a historic course in Bar Harbor. Lessons, pro shop are up to date. Other, local golf courses are also close by.
In Ellsworth, a seasonal locomotive takes visitors on a scenic ride in the spring, summer, and fall.
Restaurants for every taste abound from the Chart House, a seaside fish house, to Havana's, a Latin restaurant with a wine list of note, to Sweet Peas Farm Kitchen (pizza), to Nostranos, a private Italian restaurant. Most have outdoor seating.
During July and August, music abounds with the Bar Harbor Music Festival (with live opera) and the Northeast Harbor Chamber series. The repertory theater is good and the local cinema, Reel Pizza, is where the locals hang out.
I can help suggest dining and activities for you including activities for kids. I know caterers and can refer you to a variety of helpers, including additional housekeeping.
It is close to the road but quiet. You'll hear lobster boats in the morning, but the black-out shades will help you sleep late.
