I built an apartment next to our house, thinking someday i would live in the apartment and rent the house. The apartment is accessed by a wide set of stairs made of oak. Upon entering the apartment there is a teratine tile floor in the kitchen, that transitions onto an oak floor in an open layout. In the middle of the space is a small table that seats four, including an oak church pew . A small siting area (with fold out futon) in the family room area has several windows that look intothe trees.

Three sky light tunnels bring light into the room. The oak, tile, and warm paint make the living/dining/family area relaxing, and the perfect spot for 2-3 people.

The front half of the unit has a bedroom on one end, an office/study/den/sleeping area in the middle and a tiled bathroom with custom built walk-in shower, along with washer and dryer on the other end.

The office/study/den has a full sky light that brings light into the center of the unit. The kitchen is fully equipped with oak kitchen cabinets and all the basic kitchen necessities.

    Michaels place was very nice. Well-equippped, good location for a base to explore Acadia and the nearby coastal destinations. Michael was very responsive and eager to accommodate. Would definitely stay again.

    The property is the last house on a street surrounded by woods. The apartment has its own side entrance.

    This place was very clean and might be the perfect location for a trip to Acadia National Park. Super cozy and comfortable. It is centrally located on the island so driving to either side of the park is only 15-20 minutes to any point. Perfectly located between Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor. Great communication with the owner. The area is super quiet. We stayed 4 nights but would have no issues if it was for a longer-term rental. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    This property was listed as having a hot tub. It was the one filter that i used for our vacation and it was not on the property. I heard about it my entire vacation. This should probably be fixed going forward. Other than that, the property was clean, neat, and secluded. It was also the perfect distance to Bar Harbor and other activities.

    Loved the place. We stayed here a couple days so we could explore Acadia. It was a great location for our needs. Michael stayed on tops of things as far as communication goes. I needed something that wasn't at the apartment and sent him a message and it appeared on the steps within just a few minutes. Couldn't have asked for a better host Would definitely stay here again if we ever come back.

    A fantastic location in a bucolic setting of tall pine trees and a long, winding gravel driveway. The apartment was way more spacious than I thought it would be and with everything we needed The location was great Five or ten minutes to points in Acadia National Park and 15 to Bar Harbor. The host was friendly and helpful. I will definitely book next year. .

    We loved staying at Michael's place! It was quiet and tucked away, but still super accessible to Bar Harbor and all of the best hikes.

    A great little spot on the quiet side of the island. Close to town, but tucked away in the woods. Quiet, with everything I needed for a nice getaway. Fully equipped kitchen, laundry, comfy bed and plenty of space for me to spread out. Michael was a great host, and easy to communicate with. Good wifi.
