Seacat's rest is a modern 900 sf suite with full cook's kitchen. It looks toward the maine shore through thirty feet of windows, and comprises the private ground level of a large two family home. Step outside and you will be 100 feet from the great north atlantic with views toward cadillac mountain and acadia national park. Dig clams on the shore or kayak in the pristine waters between short trips to bar harbor or the park's many attractions. Walk up to our local pond for a refreshing swim or check out lamoine state park one mile away. Settle in for the night with all the comforts of home with our full modern granite kitchen and entertainment center. There are two bedrooms, both with queen size beds.
by making a half hour hop to lamoine from acadia national park many advantages can be found. Prices are lower, beaches and trails are less crowded and you will not need to sacrifice any bit of the downeast experience. You could even kayak one mile to the island or drive 8 miles and hop onto the free 'island explorer' bus to avoid crowded island driving altogether. Our breezy location just about guarantees pleasant and bug free picnics or clambakes. Our 1/4 mile gravel driveway removes us from summer traffic noises. Come and see what seacat's rest has to offer! September-the other august!: here on the downeast coast of maine september is slow to yield to the cooling canadian winds and we often have a full month of sun and warmth after most tourists have gone. This is the season of ripening apples, cranberries waiting to be gathered and the first hints of fall color. Prices are marked down--including ours, but few seasonal restaurants or shops are ready to close for the year. Stay until the middle of the month for the garlic festival or the first saturday in october for southwest harbor's oktoberfest where dozens of local microbrewed beers are offered. Find out what locals do when the tourists leave!
a few guest comments: we just completed our first year of service and have received universally positive comments from our guests. Since we didn't have a guest book set up, we received these in the form of notes or emails. We didn't ask permission to include email addresses so we must offer these without. Bracketed items contain text altered to preserve anonymity. Bruce and kathleen, our stay was wonderful, as where the accommodations. However, i believe i left the charger for our toothbrush on the counter near the dish drainer. If you would be kind enough to send it to us i'll be glad to pay the shipping you incur. Thanks for everything, the mint tea, being the perfect host, and whatever i forgot to mention. [r and j] i took this pic yesterday to send to friends in texas who will probably all now be calling you for reservations. This was so lovely we thought you would enjoy! [l. p.]
wow!! What a beautiful place you have. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of time we spent at your sea cat apartment. We took the girls down to the waters edge and they just could not believe it was the ocean. They were able to see the shore at high tide one day and low tide the next so that was a lesson in tides they don’t get to see too often. The sail boat tied up to the shore also added to the mystique of the moment as they explored the rocky shoreline.... Tami, she just inhaled the whole place and the wonderful view....the apartment was very, very comfortable and the beds were great. ..we had a great time while we were there and want to thank you so much for letting us stay. It was super. [d. m.)
