About this area
Northeast Harbor has the advantage of being quite close to Acadia National Park’s Stanley Brook entrance, not to mention the appeal of the grand, historic summer cottage estates, some of which date to the turn of the century. Northeast Harbor offers high end shopping plus some dining opportunities and boasts an active library, community center, public tennis courts and golf course, and a premier marina.

We have stayed in many rental properties on MDI over the years; all of them memorable, most of them idyllic. Grasslands retires the trophy though: by far the best location, best views, best logistical set-up for our clan of eleven (6 adults, 3 little boys, 2 babies). The kitchen is both generous and modern: two sinks! two dishwashers! two fridges! while retaining its old-fashioned charm; great layout of bedrooms and baths, fabulous wraparound deck, great lawn for the kids to run and play games on. Flower beds and deck planters could win awards at the state fair. We also loved the details of the owner’s family life lived here over the years: books and photographs, a real sense of tradition of Maine summers.
The home is fantastic and well-maintained. The views are spectacular. The kitchen has everything you can possibly imagine. We had plenty of room for our large family to stay for the week. The only complaint we had was the twin bed mattresses were very hard. Also, if you visit during a hot spell, there is no air conditioning. This was not an issue for us as the weather was very pleasant during our trip!
