Deep water Retreat on Dyers Bay/Amazing Sunsets, King bed on request, quiet

Spring of 2022 NEWLY RENOVATED BATHROOM, WINDOWS AND SIDING.

FYI, Long Term Bookings......If booking more than 10 days, the cleaning fee will be adjusted depending on the number of nights. Inquire before booking or the adjustment will be submitted and your card will be charged the difference after booking.

We practice very high standards in regards to cleaning, disinfecting and sanitizing!
Sincerely,
Wanda (housekeeper) and The Francis Family

Sunsets are amazing!
FYI, BAR HARBOR IS APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR DRIVE FROM THE COTTAGE. It is a great day trip and we suggest you drive to Winter Harbor (30 minutes away) and take the Ferry to Bar Harbor and avoid the parking dilemma (downeastwindjammer.com). Awesome 45 minute boat road and bikes are welcome.

A Quiet shoreside cottage nestled amongst the trees on the shore of Dyers Bay. The only traffic you will see is an occasional lobster boat passing by to haul their traps.
The deck is the perfect place to watch our beautiful Downest sunsets as well!
Also a great spot to eat a fresh Maine Lobster on the picnic table!

The cottage is quaint yet newly updated to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Our two bedroom cottage has a queen bed, two twin beds (king upon request prior to arrival) and the living room has a double size pullout couch (couch is best for children). Please advise us in advance if you require bedding for the couch and or would like the king bed vs the twins.

Located just a few miles from hiking trails on Pigeon Hill and Petit Manan Point. You won't be disappointed. Please see our reviews for messages from our previous guests.
We strive to provide a comfortable and spotlessly clean "cottage" for your visit to Maine and the most beautiful sunsets over the bay.

The cottage is most comfortable with 4 guests but can accommodate up to 5 if double couch is used....couch is best fit for children.
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
This smoke-free cottage features hiking/biking trails nearby and kayaking nearby.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Maine Lobsta shack
Old school warm cozy cottage! Great host and very clean! Love the view and the sunsets. We saw seals and an Eagle. Watched the Lobsterman return from their journey. This was our 3rd visit and will definitely be coming back.

The trip was booked for the view and it did not disappoint. The ability to watch lobster fishing from the deck is worth the stay. The property is exactly what we read about and what we enjoyed during our stay. Arnold delivered as a host and we would choose him again.

We had such a nice, relaxing time at Camp Wind. The beautiful scenery and the quiet atmosphere was soothing to the soul. The cabin is nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable- a perfect ending for a perfect day. Thank you Arnold for sharing your property with us, and Wanda for all your help

Excellent Stay
We had an excellent stay for our family vacation to Maine and the Bar Harbor/Acadia area. The house was exactly what we needed to put that little exclamation point on our great week. The views are amazing from sun up to sun down! Comfortable house from every aspect. Cleanliness was spot on as well. Wanda , the property manager/house keeper checked in a couple times to make sure everything was good and was very responsive when we had questions. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again if/when we return!

Worth more than 5 stars!
I wish I could give this rental more than a 5 star rating. From booking (my first using VRBO), to payments to communication, to week stay to communication was nothing more than 100% satisfactory. Arnold is a gem and has a gem of a property so close to Bar Harbor. We came prepared to hunker down and his kitchen was large enough to cook, store our groceries, and have a few of us linger at the side bar....but no one wanted to because the wrap around deck was where we spent most of our time! Truly a gem if you are headed to Bar harbor!

A little piece of heaven
This place is beautiful! All I wanted to do was sit on the deck and look out over the ocean. We got to see an eagle several times, and a seal! The cottage was well stocked and very clean. We were very comfortable there. Wanda was very friendly and easy to communicate with. I definitely recommend this property, and would love to get to go back there someday

Quiet. Seems like you’re all alone.
There are neighbors but you can’t see them and it feels remote. Listened to the seals and eagles fishing at sunset. Truly lovely.

Off the Beaten Path
We stayed here for our family vacation and it was perfect for us to lay our heads after a long day of hiking. We loved the seclusion of it and we even got surprised by seeing some pilot whales while hanging on the deck. The stars were absolutely amazing!

First Trip to Maine
This was our first time actually renting a property. Normally we stay in hotels. This property was exactly like it was described and the photos truly showed the property. The host was very responsive to all of our questions and even checked in on us to ensure we were enjoying our stay. They also provided excellent selections for excursions and restaurants. I would highly recommend this property if you are looking for peace and tranquility.

Peaceful and secluded
Nice property the deck and view is absolutely breathtaking. The house was very clean and well stocked. Wish the signage was better for those of us that arrive after dark. Even with the directions given online, the portion once turning onto Francis Road was confusing. The signs were attached to a tree and not reflective so it took us some extra turns and mistakes before finding the house. Probably not a problem during the day but our delayed flight made our late night arrival beyond our control. Upon arrival, we almost tripped on the small step leading up to the living room. There are small steps throughout, to the living room, to the bathroom from the living room and to the hallway from the master bedroom. My partner fell when he got up in the middle of the night because he forgot about the steps. If we would have known, we would have brought night lights to bring attention to these areas. Lastly, the shower is tiny. Granted we're not tiny people but we couldn't waah our feet without opening the shower door due to the small space. The peace and quiet was relaxing and enjoyable. But this is probably not a property that we would rent again.

Perfect quiet cove
The house was very clean. It was perfect for my husband and I to enjoy a quiet time within easy driving distance to bar harbor, Acadia, Schoodic. At 6’1”he felt a little tight in the shower. Just fyi. It’s a cute little house with a great porch to sit and view the ever changing weather and beauty of nature. So thankful for our time here. Gorgeous views.

Beautiful spot and so peaceful
This was mine and my husbands' first trip to Maine and Wanda made us feel right at home. She was always quick to respond and helpful with advise and recommendations. This little Dyers Bay cottage was such a nice place to come back to after an afternoon of exploring the area. We were blessed with perfect weather and temperatures and the sunsets were beautiful. We missed the sunrises because, being from KY, we never realized that it gets daylight at 4:30am, lol. We wish it was that way in KY :) Thanks for sharing Camp Wind, this special cottage by the sea.
