Gate House Gallery

"Our experience with Tranquility Gate House was simply excellent. The  house is very spacious and comfortable and the grounds are terrific. We  had 7 adults and three high school and college age boys and everybody  had a comfortable bed or futon to sleep on. The booking agent and on  property caretaker were easy to contact and very responsive, and the  check in/check out procedure could not have been easier. We had turkeys,  squirrels, chipmunks, and deer visiting the bird feeders in the yard on  a daily basis and a wide variety of birds as well. The kitchen was well  setup for cooking for our group and had a wide variety of cooking  utensils, pots, and pans. The view at night from the dock was  spectacular as well. We could easily see the Milky Way and numerous  satellites and meteors. We had porpoises visit the dock on the first  night we were down there and kept the boys busy one afternoon fishing  for mackerel off the dock. The fire pit was well setup for a family  evening around the fire making s’mores and the bocce court and croquet  area were great as well. All in all, it could not have been any easier  or more effortless for us to enjoy our stay."

"Our expectations, based on photos and the referral of friends, were  exceeded. The property is professionally manicured  with a sprawling  lawn, gardens, all leading to Frenchmans Bay, a short stroll away to a  rocky coastline with pier and fire pit.  We felt like we were in a  magazine setting.  We stayed in the larger Gate House.  It was  immaculate and gracious, the kitchen equipped with everything from  lobster pot to crock pot, screened in porch, lovely outdoor deck with  comfy furnishings and table.  We were greeted with 3 fresh cut bouquets  from the gardens. A property worker brought us tomatoes from her garden.   Bar Harbor and an entrance to Acadia are 10-15 minutes away.  Great  location!"

"We totally enjoyed our time at the Gate House. The description and  pictures make the house sound great, but it is even better. I totally  recommend this property. It is worth the price. We had plenty of room.  We enjoyed cooking and eating on the deck. Also enjoyed breakfast on the  screened in poarch and star watching on the dock. Great location too."
