Midnight Dip

Recent travelers rave about Acadia. Now it's your turn to explore its wonders—for free! Beginning in 2025, all reservations come with a free pass to Acadia National Park.

Welcome to our large family reunion-friendly retreat, designed to cater to every generation, from the tiniest giggles of babies to the warm laughter of seasoned adults. Located next door to the iconic Prospect Harbor Lighthouse, this exceptional haven invites you to create unforgettable memories in an idyllic setting. Perched right on the waterfront with an unparalleled view of the harbor and open ocean beyond, our home has a sprawling patio with al fresco dining and a vast stretch of lawn for for family games and dog frolicking. The inviting pool has spectacular views of the ocean. This retreat is a haven for stargazers. Let the lighthouse guide your way to a vacation full of great memories!


Four bedrooms are comfortably appointed. The main bedroom with king bed and the large ensuite has access to a private patio with the ocean view. The kids will love the breezy bunk room, it too has great harbor views. The third bedroom has two twin beds and has views of the large lawn, perfect for outdoor games, with apple trees beyond. The fourth bedroom has a queen bed and a view of the lawn and orchard. One new pullout sofa bed is set in the den at the far end of the house and the other new pullout sofa bed is in the living room. Both are in front of more patio doors – leave them open at night to feel the breeze and smell the fresh sea air.

The kitchen and large dining room are fully stocked with every appliance, pot, pan and dish you will need to accommodate your large gathering.
But outdoors is where you will want to be! It is spectacular! Expansive, FLAT lawns surround this home. Perfect for games. Easy for walking or setting up your chairs to watch the lobster boats come and go. All of this and there is more – an OCEAN FRONT OUTDOOR POOL. Set right on the edge of Prospect Harbor with a roomy deck to accommodate all of your lounge chairs. What a spot!

Late at night, its time for your Midnight Dip. Tiptoe out of the sliding glass doors where the pool is waiting. There, you can float on your back and count the hundreds of stars -- so close you can touch them. Everyone is asleep. There is no sound but the nearby waves.

Visit Bar Harbor - a beautiful drive from Prospect Harbor (about 41 miles) from one peninsula to the one next door. Or take the ferry across. The ferry is located only five minutes from this home in Winter Harbor.

If home is not large enough for all your friends & family, Joy Cottage is located directly across the street. You could easily add another 6 to your reservation!

This home is located all on one level. Easy access for everyone!

  Our family enjoyed our stay at Midnight Dip! The breeze was perfect off of the ocean. The house had everything we needed. The yard was wonderful for our family to play games with a beautiful view of the harbor and ocean. The only small gripe is the coverings on all the furniture becoming easily out of place and a bit annoying to constantly fix. We would definitely come back however.

  The house and pool were great
  A bit of a distance from Bar Harbor but we enjoyed the privacy. The screen door needs repair to keep the bugs out because you need the ventilation at night to cool the house down since there is no AC and we had a hot temperature week.

  Had a great time with family that flew in from around the country. Everything was as advertised. The covers on the furniture we a little annoying since they didn't stay in place, but that didn't ruin the great time.
