However, just a 10-minute drive from the house, there is a ferry (passenger only) that offers you easy access to Bar Harbor (the drive to Bar Harbor from the house takes about an hour).
Other spots to visit within a 10-minute drive are Jones Pond (perfect for swimming or kayaking), The Pickled Wrinkle (delicious food and friendly people), Me & Ben's Ice Cream (try the blueberry soft serve, they make it fresh daily!), and the charming village of Winter Harbor with shops, cafes and a Five-and-Ten general store.
