IMPORTANT NOTES:
*We are located in a forested area, which means you may encounter wildlife. We ask that you give them space, and do not feed any wildlife. We also recommend packing insect repellent, as mosquitos and ticks are prevalent during spring/summer months.
*Our home is not air conditioned, as the NE summer coastal climate does not demand it. We do however, have multiple ceiling fans in place, as well as provide additional fans for cooling and circulation during summer months. An extension pole for opening recessed windows on the ceiling can also be found in the upstairs twin bedroom.
*Our home has a doorbell camera, which is located at the front door. It is for the security of the property, as well as guest safety. We ask that it remains unobstructed in order to function properly. In addition, the modem/router must stay plugged in at all times as well to maintain proper WiFi connection.
*We do offer a firepit for campfires, but there are frequent drought/burn restrictions in our area. Please be aware due to circumstances beyond our control that it may not be available for campfires during your stay

Summary: Our family stayed at the Sylvan House and had the best experience on vacation. The house, quietly nestled along the water, is very private but is actually only 15 minutes from town amenities and 30 minutes from Acadia. The sunrise across the water is postcard worthy to admire from the well-placed adirondack chairs with a cup of coffee. The house is well stocked with kitchen, bathroom and laundry essentials. Everything conveniently placed, easy to find. Depending on weather, the house can be overly warm but there are multiple fans that can help keep the air moving. Michèle was very helpful and communicative to ensure that we were comfortable on our stay. We would 100% recommend this location.
