    There is so much to see and experience in the area. If you enjoy hiking, biking, and kayaking, this is the best place to do it. The vacation rental owner suggests:

    Pack a picnic and find a spot along the loop road to watch the waves crash on pink granite cliffs. Drive to the top of Cadillac Mountain where the 360-degree view will leave you speechless. Drive over to Northeast Harbor, one of the most picturesque anchorages in New England. Southwest Harbor is home to some of the most prestigious yacht builders in the world. Go to Beal’s Lobster Pier to eat – the only place where you can get a better lobster is at the Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound, which is only about 10 minutes from The Barn. Enjoy nearby whale watching, puffin cruises, seal sightings, try your hand at lobstering, and so much more.

    After a busy day of outdoor activities, come back to The Barn for some quiet time.If you are there in August, you will see the Perseid Meteor shower. The view of the Milky Way is beyond words. Because of the clarity of the clean ocean air and the purposeful reduction of light pollution on Mt. Desert Island, the night sky is filled with stars so lovely it will remain a treasured memory forever.
