We had an amazing stay! The pictures dont do the cottage justice! The view is picturesque and Laura was extremely welcoming; a wonderful host. Perfect location for us to experience multiplie different places throughout Acadia. couldn't recommend this cottage more! Thank you Laura and Robert for helping our family create unforgettable memories!
We had a fantastic stay at this property! The home was very clean and well-maintained, making us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The location is both convenient and scenic, providing a perfect balance of relaxation and accessibility. Communication with the host was excellentâresponsive and helpful throughout our stay. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great getaway!
We had a fantastic, relaxing week with the family in Lauraâs home. Communication prior to the stay was easy and quick. upon arrival Laura left us some goodies. The home had everything and was better supplied than most other VRBOs we have visited. The view was amazing and the rooms were large and welcoming. if we go back to Maine we will stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay at Beau Se Jour. Quiet peaceful serene setting overlooking the water with the most beautiful sunrise. There is so much to do within minutes of the cottage. Laura and Robert were wonderful hosts and their attention to detail made our stay one we will always remember. If you are looking for the perfect place to stay near Acadia National Park, this is the place.
This was our first trip to Acadia and we had the best time taking day trips as it was central to everything we wanted to see. But the best part was coming home to this little slice of heaven. So peaceful and picturesque. Thank you for letting us stay.
This cottage was just lovely from the moment we pulled in. The view is so peaceful and all the little quaint and special touches made it feel like home away from home. The cottage was very clean and well stocked and they also provided so much information for the area with things to do and places to visit which were so helpful. Laura was so kind and helpful with any questions and very quick to respond. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Beau Se Jour is a special place. The pictures canât do it justice. Itâs very spacious and well stocked. Truly the quintessential Maine cottage. Worth every penny. Laura is a fabulous host who truly cares that you have a wonderful stay. My only advice is you will need to book this one early to get it, and you be glad you did! Iâd give it 20 stars if I could.
The house was perfect in every way....like stepping back in time. The furnishings and whole aura are of a grander period of life...just beautiful.
The view of Frenchmans Bay from every window are calming and serene as the tide drops and rises twice a day.
We headed out on an adventure in Acadia National Park every day which is about a half hour away. We did it all but wers always happy to head back to the quiet and solitude of our rental house.
I can not say enough how wonderful our stay was at Camp Beau Sejour! The pictures on the website are wonderful, but they donât do the real life cottage justice. It was spectacular, and away from the crowds at MDI
Laura responded immediately to any questions we had preparing for our trip, and was as warm and caring as an old friend. She took care of so many details in the cottage, and we could want for nothing. The flowers outside were beautiful and so were the fresh cut flowers inside. The music playing when we came in was calming, and our furry family enjoyed the fresh water that she provided upon their arrival. We could have spent a full day enjoying the antiques, pictures, and crafts in the home. The house was spotless and the views couldnât be beat. Laura, thank you for your hospitality and sharing your cottage home with us.
The weather wasn't the best for this week but if you had to have rainy weather, I can't imagine a better spot to be at. The house is well appointed with comfortable beds and beautifully decorated in a coastal theme. The view from the main bedroom upstairs is breathtaking in the morning, you do not have to get out of bed to enjoy it. It's equally dramatic on the first level and there are plenty of spots in the house to sit and read and still enjoy the view of the water. The screened in area would be a huge bonus when the bugs are out, fortunately the rain and cool temperatures kept them at bay for our visit. The waterfront/beach area can be accessed by a long set of stairs down to the water. It is very private and while there are a few neighbors, you don't really see the homes through the foliage. It really is a beautiful location.
Although our trip was cut short, we had an amazing stay at Beau Se Jour. This is the quintessential Maine cottage, full of character and surrounded by natural beauty. We couldn't have picked a better vacation home. The views are surreal and the solitude is priceless. If you need to disconnect, this is your spot.
Our host Laura was on point. Everything was carefully orchestrated and planned right down to the beautiful soft music left playing for us as we entered the cottage. It really set the vibe.
We were delayed and arrived much later in the evening than originally planned. Laura stayed in touch to make sure we would have no trouble finding the place as we would be arriving after dark. The weather had turned pretty chilly that evening as well. With these things in mind, she thoughtfully made a trip to the cottage to turn the lights and heat on for us. It was so incredibly thoughtful and appreciated after a long drive.
She even checked in with us to make sure we made it back home safely. These are the small touches that go a long way with me.
The communication was excellent and it's apparent how much time, thought, and preparation Laura puts into each visit. We wanted for nothing. If we ever get the opportunity to return, we will definitely be staying with her again.
Thanks Laura!
Much appreciation!
Our family of four had an amazing week at Laura and Rob's cottage. The cottage was cozy and ready for us when we arrived, complete with a homemade quiche from Laura cooling on the kitchen counter! It was delicious, too! No matter what we needed during our stay, the cottage provided it (extra pillows, an extension cord, paper plates, binoculars, area maps, fans, & a wine opener, to name a few). We took many day adventures during our stay (Acadia, Bar Harbor, Schoodic Point) and always appreciated where we rested our heads at the end of the night. Highlights of our trip included meeting Laura and Rob at Schoodic Point, seeing bald eagles soar outside of the cottage, hiking Cadillac Mountain with our kids, dinner at Havana, contributing to the cottage's heart rock collection, and making the trip to Gull Rock Pottery in Hancock. Thank you for everything!
Great place to get away and rewind. House is very clean, full of charm and spacious. Views are surreal. Pictures don't do it justice. Location was great. Peaceful, away from summer crowds yet close to multiple attractions (MDI, Acadia, Southwest Harbor, Schoodic). Fabulous hosts! Laura and Robert truely care about their guests. They are very responsive to text messages and provided tons of information about local attractions and restaurants (our favorites Red Sky, Beals Lobster Pier and Mortons Moo Ice Cream). This is one of the best VRBO homes that we have stayed at. Beautiful views, cozy house, solitude, great hosts!
Lauraâs property was lovely! Laura is also very lovely herself. She was very attentive, helpful, and just genuinely wanted to make sure we were having a good time. The home was very well kept and cozy. The views from the property were surreal. We woke up every morning to watch the sunrise. We enjoyed taking walks from the property at low tide and also rented some kayaks that were delivered right to the property. Lauraâs place is about 30-40 minutes from Bar Harbor and most Acadia hikes, but this is exactly what we wanted (as we find Bar Harbor a little too busy and tourist-trappy). There are a few quaint, but excellent restaurants nearby (Provender in Ellsworth and Ironbound in Hancock were our favorites). You are also not far from the Schoodic peninsula hikes, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We hope to revisit Lauraâs place again soon!
This property was one of our favorite VRBOâs! The cottage is in a beautiful setting, was very comfortable and is filled with character. Highly recommend!!!
Beau se jour was comfortable, well appointed and clean. It has beautiful views in every room and screened seating, outdoor seating and indoor seating to enjoy these views. It is private yet also conveniently located to Bar harbor and Acadia national park. Laura was so helpful and responsive to any tourist questions we texted her. We couldnât have asked for a better experience!
Spectacular Stupendous Outstanding Gorgeous Fabuloso
Magnificent Superbly appointed, extremely well provisioned with all of the necessary items for an outstanding stay. And extra items that could be necessary. Laura thought of everything. Our entire family enjoyed the celebration and my husband and I enjoyed the peace and quiet for a day and the great beds and peaceful sleeps to wake to a beautiful view and the Full moon and the stars in the sky though the panoramic windows and skylights.
Thank you for everything
We look forward to coming again and also enjoying the house in little Gasparilla Island Florida in November.
Where to begin describing how wonderful our stay was at Beau Se Jour Cottage? Mornings sitting by the fire having coffee, brilliant sunrises to wake up to or quiet evenings with a glass of wine on the porch. All of these include incredible views of Eastern Bay and Cadillac Mountain. Those memories would be a great start!
The cottage is warm, eclectic, bright and oh-so cool comfortable. I We had to pull ourselves away each day to explore the area! The location is so convenient to so many wonderful sites, that every day we explored a different direction.
Acadia to Blue Hill, Schoodic Point to the Bass Head Lighthouse, Gouldsboro to BrooklinâŠall were in easy drives from the cottage. Discovered new and amazing places each day, but made sure we were back at our favorite home to enjoy its views and amenities!
Many thanks to Laura and Robert for making their jewel of a home available to us! It was such a pleasure to meet them in person and hear the love for their place! We hope to be back again soon!
A Wonderful Cottage that is secluded from the crowds of Bar Harbor And located perfectly between Acadia National Park and the Schoodic Pennisula. A great place to decompress and enjoy the Cottage( decorated so beautifully ) or relax outdoors . The host is terrific to work with and gives you wonderful suggestions of places to visit or Restaurants to dine at. The best VRBO we've ever stayed at. 5 STARS!!!
We love the coast of Maine and know you will too! We will do our best to make your vacation in the Acadia Region special so that you leave with many wonderful memories and will want to return.
We want you to feel right at home at Beau Se Jour Cottage and enjoy all that Downeast Maine offers, most especially our crown jewel; Acadia National Park. We invite you to come visit and explore a most special place in America; "Where the ocean meets the mountains".
