Greetings Prospective Renters -This is our second year posting the “Knollen” on VRBO. You will see a couple of reviews from the few weeks that we rented last year. Please see our profile of the “Knollette” on VRBO for ample reviews of the smaller home on this family land.In 1937 our great-grandfather built the Knollen on three acres of land . At that point in the island’s history, innumerable island plots were available to him, including many oceanfront properties, but he chose this spot. The location is wonderful.The property includes a big grassy field, beautiful woods, and a much smaller cottage (the Knollette, also available for rent on VRBO). While the Knollen has not undergone any major renovations (including the kitchen and bathrooms), it’s large (offering ample bedrooms), lovely, quiet, comfortable, and full of simple amenities. With extended family members living here for months at a time, we can attest to its high level of functionality, comfort, and charm. The living room can accommodate large family gatherings. Two particularly special spaces include a first-floor, screened-in porch with traditional wicker furniture and a large, second-floor “sleeping porch” – both of which offer close, peaceful connection to the surrounding woods.The Knollen is located on a quiet, private lane. Walk 5 minutes and you will discover the causeway at Norwood Cove – a spot that offers wonderful vistas of the ocean & mountains; dramatic tidal activity; opportunities for swimming, SUPing, canoeing, kayaking; peaceful sitting spots; and spectacular night skies. Walk 5 minutes in the other direction to the center of Southwest Harbor, a small quaint town where you will find shopping, dining, art, crafts, a bike rental store, and a wonderful public library. You’ll also find access to the Island Explorer, the free shuttle to all parts of MDI and Acadia National Park.Acadia National Park is a playground for walking, hiking, biking, swimming, boating, and picnicking. Explore scenic ocean trails, carriage roads, beaches, mountains, lakes, and nearby islands. There are also opportunities to rent boats of various sizes; play tennis, pickleball, or golf; antique hunt; visit museums and art galleries; eat ample fresh seafood; and more.Keywords: large cabin, large wooden house, quiet private lane, near ocean, near town, Southwest Harbor, Causeway Lane, Norwood Cove, Acadia, Mount Desert Island
