HIDDEN GEM !5 MILE TO Beach, 14 Mile to Acadia, Shopping, Bar Harbor, Hiking,

I am normally a bit apresesive if a place has too many excellent reviews. This place deserves all of the good reviews.

The host was very attentive and even gave us plenty y of tips on where to go in town of Bar Harbor and vicinity of Acadia NP.

Great place to stay that was off the beaten path. Roomy with a good lay out of the property. The host was awesome, the homemade blueberry pie in the fridge was a huge bonus!

Beautiful place nearly flawless, all decorated wonderfully and has everything you need. Quite spacious and loved the king bed and the two full beds, fully equipped kitchen and open space living room. James is very friendly and communicative. The place is only 20-30 min drive from Acadia, and has many stores nearby. The heater was useful as the weather got chilly.

I really enjoyed this place. The owner, James is very kind and replied promptly when I requested something. The location is very convenient to access Acadia National Park and there are many good lobster local restaurants on the way to the park. You will not regret it if you stay here.

It was very clean and cute! It was close to shopping and food. Host was very good at communicating and thoughtful!

Truly a “Hidden Gem”. James was a great host. He told us about points of interest and local places to eat at. The apartment was spotless and very comfortable.

We so appreciated James and his in person greeting as we arrived and his great recommendations for places to eat and to visit in area and in Acadia. Very clean, cozy and comfortable apartment! Kitchen was beautiful and well stocked. King bed was very comfortable. A wonderful place to call home away from home!

Couldn't have been better. Everything was very clean and we had more than what we needed. We slept great. James, our host, was very attentive and gave us great advice on where to park, eat, and even where to see the best sunset. (And it was beautiful!). There were even snack bars, apples, tangerines, condiments, and other food stuff for our use if we wanted it. Definitely A-1!

Great place, perfect location, and James is an amazing host. He truly went above and beyond!

Awesome 2 bedroom with everything you need close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. James the owner was very helpful and informative. We will for sure stay here again for our next trip to Maine.

Outstanding value, 25 min from the park in a clean quiet space. Wonderful host.

We had a great stay. The place was very clean and cozy. Many of the main items needed were supplied. James the owner was vey nice and welcomed us upon our arrival just to introduce himself and let us know he is available if we needed anything. He also provided us with places to eat and visit. If you want to get some souvenirs, the best place to do this is at Bar Harbor. If we ever come back to main, we will definitely stay here.

Nice comfortable place. Host was very friendly

It was a wonderful stay. Felt like home. James is the best

James was very hospitable with a welcome greeting in person and local dining and sightseeing recommendations.

We hiked Acadia, traveled to Quoddy Lighthouse, Lubic and to Nubble lighthouse. This was such a retreat to come back to in the evenings.James provides extra touches that truly make you feel like his personal guest.

My wife and I, from Atlanta, stayed 3 nights here prior to going back to Portland for 2 more nights. We had a wonderful experience from check in all the way thru check out. The property has everything you could want, and more. James was a great host. He helped us bring our luggage up the stairs and recommended plenty of attractions and nearby restaurants. We loved how close this was to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The quiet street this apartment is located off of was great. We had some rainy weather during the first part of our stay and James even offered to let us stay another night on him. We had plans back in Portland so we could not take him up on the offer. We were surprised and very gracious for such a kind offer. Next time we are back in the area, we will stay here again. It is large enough to sleep even more. Perfect place to stay with a perfect host. Thanks, James!

My husband and I took our kids to Acadia to celebrate our 15 year anniversary. We had a great trip overall, here are our pros and cons. Pros: Our host was very responsive to any messages I sent him. He kindly made sure the apartment was open for us when we arrived late on our first night. He also recommended Ana amazing pizza place for dinner (Pat’s Pizza- definitely give it a try). The unit is very convenient to Acadia National Park, which is what we were looking for. Cons There were large black flies flying around the kitchen and living room. The dishes were dirty and needed to be washed before the first use. The bathroom was old. The master bed was very hard and uncomfortable. We didn’t spend much time in the apartment, and it was worth it for the location, but I would look for a different place in the future.

We loved this place! Great location, comfortable and clean apartment. James was a lovely host. He welcomed us and gave great recommendations for things to do nearby. He even made us some delicious cookies. We hope to visit again soon and would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for your warm and friendly Welcome, James! Loved the place and James, who took special care to make our stay a wonderful one! Very quiet!. Easy access to Acadia. We highly recommend.

Great location with a host who is attentive to needs and incredibly helpful. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here

We enjoyed everything about our visit to Bar Harbor, but it was definitely good due to James friendliness and his beautiful yet comfortable home. I would definitely recommend staying there!!!

James is an excellent host. My husband and I recommend this stay. Very clean. Full size kitchen is like home++. The upstairs 2-bedroom apartment is comfortable and quiet. Thick towels. Beds and pillows excellent. Water pressure in shower and washer/dryer downstairs in the garage -- both great. James will offer quarters for the washer/dryer if you forget to bring. The location is not far from Acadia National Park and the Quietside of Mount Desert. A terrific home base from which to explore Acadia National Park and the Quietside of Mount Desert. Also not far from the Schoodic area, the Charlotte Rhoades Butterfly Garden, Somesville, Blue Hill (check out the Blue Hill Co-op), Deer Island, Bass Harbor, Stoneville, and more. We bought fresh fish in season from the local grocery store on James' specific recommendation and saved. Taking advantage of the gas grill provided. Ellsworth has much to offer, too -- Union River Lobster Pot restaurant (where we saw a Bald Eagle), Lamoine Beach, Woodlawn historic site. Bottomline is, why stay in an overpriced hotel when you can have the convenience of home?
