Luxury 6BR New England Home, Near Acadia + Bar Harbor, 3 Kings, Sleeps 12

Bufflehead Camp is located in a peaceful meadow. This recently built home provides an elevated stay in luxury and comfort. Within easy reach to main village centers and park trails, providing a private retreat with lovely outdoor spaces and modern conveniences. Somes Pond Swimming and Blagden Preserve, two of Mt. Desert Island's best kept secrets, are just a short distance away!

FIRST FLOOR: Enter through the Breezeway from the driveway to a large Kitchen featuring double oven, cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, cork floor, and large circular table that seats eight comfortably. From the Kitchen, a cozy family room with TV leads to an expansive Living Room with showcase fireplace, plenty of comfortable seating, and TV. This space is combined with the formal Dining Room with table that seats 10-12 and includes a door leading to back to the Kitchen. Of note in this space is a lovely Craftsman Style stained glass clerestory decorative window dividing this space from the Family Room. Beyond the Living Room is a large Primary Bedroom with King bed, fireplace, and TV. Across the hall is a large Full Bath with separate whirlpool tub, tiled shower, double vanity, bidet, and commode. At the end of the hall is a club style reading room. Also on the first floor are laundry facilities and a half bath.

SECOND FLOOR: Carpeted stairs lead to the second floor, accented by a large sitting area with TV that divides this level in two. To the north are three bedrooms: two with Queen Bed each, and one small bedroom with two Bunkbeds. Note that this 3rd bedroom does not have a separate egress, so there is no door to close it off. These three bedrooms share a large Full Bath with tiled walk in shower. At the south end of the house, there are two magnificent bedrooms, each with a King Bed. At the end of a hall, a roomy Full Bath includes a soaking tub and walk-in shower. All bedrooms feature a TV and ceiling fans.

BASEMENT: Carpeted stairs lead to a finished basement entertainment room with enormous TV and a fourth Full Bath with tiled shower.

OUTDOOR SPACES: Doors from the Kitchen and Family Room lead to the deck and terraces outside overlooking the back meadow and woods. Don't be surprised to see deer, turkeys, and other wildlife wandering through these quiet grounds!

This lovely house was all we hoped for! Perfect location for us, super comfortable, great beds and really roomy for our group of 6 ladies. Wonderful to have morning and evening visits by a local deer family. Most loved having multiple seating areas to hang out inside and out depending on how we felt and how the weather was doing. Great choice!

Great Family Vacation Home

This property is spacious, clean and convenient to many locations on Mt. Desert Island including Acadia NP and Bar Harbor.The home had plenty of room for us to spread out with large bedrooms and comfy beds. We could eat together in the large dining room and gather in the living room. The kitchen was huge and had everything we needed to cook for a large family. The basement was a bonus with a big screen TV and room for the kids to play. The outside was gorgeous with trees all around. We saw deer and a marmot in the yard while we were there. Beach towels were provided and the kids enjoyed swimming in the ocean as well as the small lake near the house.Check-in and checkout was easy and communication with management was good.We would recommend this property to others and would stay her again if in the area.

Wonderful Trip To Acadia

Our family had a great 4 day stay in Acadia! The home was pristinely clean and exactly as described. All of our communication was timely and helpful. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home to friends or family.

Close to Acadia/ perfect location

The home is beautiful, situated on a lovely private lot and it is LARGE! We had a group of 10 with ages from 16 thru 80 and had plenty of room to spread out which was great! The beds are quite nice and the decor is lovely and quite comfortable. The home is close to all of the harbors which was a really great convenience to be able to get out easily to see all of the beauty around Acadia. Host is very responsive and check in was a breeze. All in all, a great place for our family of 10 to stay and experience Acadia National Park. Our favorite restaurant ended up being Seafood Ketch in Bass Harbor with Nor’Easter also quite good. Be sure and get some blueberry donuts from Colonels.

Absolutely gorgeous!

This house was absolutely gorgeous and immaculate. I would highly recommend this place. The Knowles Company was easy to work with and communicated appropriately. Only hiccup was that our code would not work so had to use the hard keys all week. Its well located to everything on Mount Desert Island and had enough parking for us all. Linens were very nice too.

Beautiful Vacation Home!

We had a group of 9 adults from all over the US meet up in Bar Harbor for a friends vacation. The property was absolutely perfect for our group. Very spacious and perfectly stocked. We loved some of the higher end luxury items, like the heated floors, and the towel warmer in the bathroom. We even had a fun evening listening to the record player. The kitchen was perfectly stocked... there was even a large pot for us to cook our fresh lobsters in. I somehow missed or accidentally deleted the check in email instructions (through email not VRBO message) so I had to contact the property manager to get our check in instructions. She answered right away and sent me a new email. We had no other situations that needed attention while at the property. Thank you for the wonderful property.

Family/Friend Get Together

We loved the home! It was so lovely and perfect for our group. We enjoyed cooking meals together in the beautiful kitchen and the beds were the most comfortable to come home to after our hikes. I would love to come back and stay again. Thank you so much!

Great house and quiet location

Bufflehead Camp was great spot for our large family to stay during our vacation to Acadia National Park. During our initial search, it was hard to find a house large enough that felt like it could manage multiple family units but this house had separate wings, which provided everyone space to relax. Plus the kitchen and dining room was large enough to host us all at once. All the beds and linens were comfortable, and there was a first floor bedroom/bathroom, which was easily accessible. We also enjoyed having a grill and fire pit outside.

Beautiful, Private, Spacious and Incredibly Well-Equipped Cottage Conveniently Located

This was an absolutely beautiful and extremely spacious cottage that is located within minutes of all the sights we wished to visit. We have never seen another VRBO rental that was so well equipped with everything you could wish for--and more! There were ten of us, including four children, and we all had plenty of space within the cottage. Both of our sons appreciated the office space for some remote work they needed to do. The property is secluded and private and also includes ample room for parking. Communication with the host was excellent and extremely helpful whenever we had a question. We all agreed that we would eagerly stay at this cottage during future visits to Mt. Desert Island.
