3 bedroom duplex with ocean views, no dog fees, and on a private road.

The Hytta duplex was inspired by a Norway trip where mountains and ocean meet as they do in Acadia. Escape the traffic and crowds. The house with an in-law apt allows guests to connect yet have their own retreats . A large yard has plenty of space for your dog(s). This gateway to Downeast Maine is minutes from the rugged cliffs and mountains of Acadia's Schoodic Peninsula. Take the ferry to Bar Harbor (10 mins from the house), then take the free Island Explorer bus to Acadia's popular spots.

The Hytta Duplex includes both the Hytta House and Hytta Loft apartment with a total of 3 full bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms with a large, private yard and firepit area. This property was inspired by a trip to the Lofoten Islands in Norway where peace, simplicity, and tranquility are at the forefront.

The Hytta House is a 2 bedroom 2 bath home. A bedroom (queen bed) and one full bathroom is on the first floor which makes it ideal for folks who struggle with stairs. The second floor has a master bedroom with a king bed and connected full bath. A desk can be moved from the master bedroom to the loft area above living room for a work space overlooking the ocean. Or move the desk to the master bedroom to make room to open up the queen-sized sofa bed.

The Hytta Loft Apartment is connected to the house by a mudroom. This 1 bedroom 1 bath fully stocked space is above the utility room/garage area with its own mini but full kitchen. There is additional sleeping space in the Hytta Loft with a pull out sofa bed. The cathedral ceilings and ocean views from the porch are stunning! Note that the steps leading to the Hytta Loft are a bit narrow and steep and not appropriate for pets or people with mobility issues.

A large porch overlooking the ocean (Frenchman's Bay) is accessed through the Hytta Loft Apartment.

The property is dog friendly with a large private yard and two crates available. We do not charge pet fees (but will add on a cleaning fee at the end of your stay for any pet messes/excess hair left behind).

These separate but connected units are ideal for large groups that want to be together but also have their own space at the end of the day. It is not appropriate for parties, and if everyone is gathered in the main house it will definitely feel cozy. There are two refrigerators and two sets of washer and dryers.

Maine weather can be unpredictable and the entire home is protected by a back-up standby generator which will kick on and off automatically as needed if there is a power outage.
