Our stay here was outstanding. It was so quite, so peaceful, so beautiful. It was difficult for us to make ourselves leave just to explore the area. The cottage is charming and well appointed with nice linens, comfortable bed and everything you'll need for a lovely stay. Our hosts were the best; thoughtful & helpful without ever being intrusive. If you want to stay on the Maine coast, don't miss this lovely place. We saw loons, cormorants, ducks and seals every day along one eagle siting.

Lobster, Wild Blueberry Pie—Oh my!!
My husband and I stayed at The Raven’s Nest for 1 week at the end of September, to celebrate our 25th anniversary. The cottage was very clean, comfortable and cozy. We ate the best lobster, wild blueberry pie, mussels and oysters everyday! We built a fire out back a few times and toasted marshmallows. We truly had everything we needed and more. Carol, the host and her husband Les were friendly and had wonderful local information. We flew into Portland and spent the first and last day there. Lots of wonderful shopping and restaurants! We took day trips to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Deer Isle and Ellsworth to the LL Bean outlet store! We would love to come back to Bue Hiill and stay at The Raven’s Nest again! Absolutely awesome experience!!

Our Stay at Ravens Nest
Our stay at Ravens Nest was great! When we arrived it was raining hard due to Hurricane Lee passing through the area. Leslie and Carol came out and offered to help us unload our vehicle. We found the cabin to be very clean with all the accommodations we expected and the grounds, well the grounds are just beautiful. We recommend this rental property to anyone who visits the Down East part of Maine. It’s a jewel.

Raven's Nest-a bit of Heaven
Particularly impressed with kindness and generosity of our hosts, Leslie and Carol. Cottage extremely comfortable and well equipped and setting at water's edge could not be beat. They kept us amply supplied with fresh veggies from their garden which was a real plus. Extremely helpful with discovering the area. Beautiful and serene. Highly recommend to anyone.

Simply paradise
I've been vacationing in Maine with my family for my whole life and it truly is vacationland. The Raven's Nest is a beautiful cottage with full amenities and unbeatable location. I look forward to staying there again next year and the years to come.

Coffee with the seals
We had a lovely week long stay at the Ravens Nest. The amazing view of the water is beautiful in all weather and the sunrise was stunning! We had a mostly foggy stay but it did not affect our enjoyment of the property. Close to lovely Blue Hill and other small towns a short drive away. Acadia is an easy day trip. We kayaked right from the house as well. Nature abounds, bring your binoculars! Carol and Leslie are gracious, lovely hosts

Perfect Blue Hill Peninsula Stay
We loved our stay at Raven’s Nest. The cottage is immaculate and the surrounding grounds are beautiful. The bay view is expansive. We didn’t have very cooperative weather, but even so we enjoyed the beautiful view from the living room. If it had been a little bit warmer, we would have spent our time on the back deck and gazebo. It’s close to grocery stores, restaurants, and most importantly beautiful views and trails in every direction. We hope to return again.

Very comfortable cottage on the bay
Property was comfortable and provided anything you might need during your stay. The owner’s were welcoming. We enjoyed the wonderful views of the bay and spent much of our time on the deck watching the wildlife. It was exactly what we needed to relax and explore the area, including Acadia National Park.
