Property was clean and well stocked. Phillip met us at check in and showed us around the place. Had a blast on the kayaks during high tide. Everything was true to the photos. About 50 minutes to Bar Harbor. Would 100 % book Mud Flat Manor again.Thank you Phillip for making our Maine vacation an awsome experence.

Best month ever. We booked a month and it was too short. The communication with the hosts was immediate and totally responsive to our requests. The home was immaculate and stimulating. Every decor detail was on theme. The views from the panoramic windows changed multiple times daily with the tides. We were visited by deer, porcupines, rabbits, and 3 majestic Tom turkeys. We also were visited by three sets of friends who were equally impressed with the home, location, and beautiful views. And the custom firepit was a huge bonus as the sun set and temperatures dropped. Bundled in afghans with a favorite adult beverage, it's difficult to imagine how it could get any better. The Gouldsboro location was PERFECT if you want to be away from the mad tourism crowd, but just a short drive or ferry ride to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park with Cadillac Mountain, and Ellsworth. If you want exceptional, this is our recommendation for you.

Fantastic Property and Great Owner!

My family and I spent a week in this quiet home right on a bay. We enjoyed fires by the water, the beautiful accommodations and very responsive owner. We were thrilled with the property and my wife and I agreed that it was one of the more relaxing vacations we have ever had. My 7 year old loved it too.

We had a great time at this home. It was in a convenient location and the use of the kayaks was great. The property is well maintained and beds were very comfortable. We cooked often and had all the kitchen essentials. The property owner and his wife were very helpful with tips on good local restaurants. We had a breakdown with our vehicle but a local garage Balzarini Boyz Automotive were able to get us back in the road in no time.

Amazing family vacation!

Overall loved this property. We enjoyed being near Acadia but far enough away to be away from the crowds. Drive into Acadia wasn't bad, and the ferry from winter harbor to bar harbor was also easy and enjoyable! The property is on the water so make sure to bring mosquito spray and warm clothes as the evenings got cold but enjoyable.
