Esther, August, 2015 "Marion and Pat live in one of the nicest landscape areas we have ever seen and it is only a 40 min drive to the Acadia Park. Their house is very pretty and lovely decorated inside and outside and they both put a lot of effort on the details……." This room has the “wow” factor!! Light and airy room with white cottage furniture and vintage touches has three windows with an expansive view of Bar Harbor, Frenchman's Bay, Flanders Bay and Cadillac Mountain. Our home is steeped in the history and tradition of East Sullivan and was previously the site of the Island View Lodge during the earlier part of the last century. Over the past eighteen years we have completely renovated it in a way that captures the idyllic and unique ambiance of maritime Maine.

The road trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park is approximately 30-40 minutes of exquisite, tranquil views of the Mountains, Bays and the rocky coast of Maine. We live between the Scenic Byway and old Route 1 on Flanders Bay (Grange Hall Road),so that says it all!!
