Raven's Roost was perhaps the best find we've ever had on VRBO! We were looking for a quiet spot in Maine to enjoy the outdoors and see the sights around Bar Harbor. We could not have found a better place!
This charming little one bedroom cottage is maybe 50' from Blue Hill Bay. It is newly renovated, eclectically furnished, and impeccably equipped, with amazing eastern views (if you're an early riser, the sunrises are spectacular!). The newly constructed deck is a wonderful place to have your meals, and if there are any bugs about, the screened in gazebo serves as an escape. The fire pit is right on the water, and there is ample wood/kindling for cooking some fresh lobsters (available at very reasonable prices just a few miles down the road at Annette's Sleigh Bell Shop) or just toasting some marshmallows for s'mores. The town of Blue Hill is maybe 8 minutes away with everything you need, and Acadia/Bar Harbor is only a 50 minute drive.
Leslie and Carol are the most gracious and responsive hosts we've ever had, and they have created an amazing getaway that we fear will be difficult to book in the future once it becomes better known. Raven's Roost is da bomb!
