for an astronomical look at the night sky, or awake before the crack
of dawn, and from the pink granite of Cadillac Mountain be the first
in the U.S. to watch the sunrise.
You may choose to experience Mt. Desert Island by car (or from
the window of the park's convenient, and ecologically mindful, shuttle
busses) on the 19 mile loop road. Either way, you will want to stop
and take photos beside a legend or a scenic overlook. From any perspective
on land or sea, the majesty and the intimacy of this park will inspire
you to stand in awe, as well as to enter into it.
 Bar
Harbor, as well as the other towns on and near the island, has excellent
restaurants, shops, concerts, museums and interesting seasonal events,
such as music, art and film festivals. Mt. Desert Island and the
area referred to as "Downeast" – where the trees
outnumber the people and the night sky is brighter with stars than
city lights – has become famous for its clean air, clean water
and its natural beauty. It has been preserved and protected by all
those who have treasured this area for generations, both those who
make their home here, and those who return year after year.
We look forward to sharing with you the exquisite pleasure of being
here.
"This is a wonderful house in a great
spot. A really special place! Many Thanks."
