    This was a very cozy and comfy place to come back to after some long, cool, and sometimes rainy hikes and outings. Location is great as you can walk to all of the great places in Bar Harbor while staying on quite street. Susan was a great host who was very responsive and friendly. If we ever make it back to Bar Harbor, I would definitely stay here.

    Staying here when I visit Bar Harbor is always a treat. The property lives up to its description. It’s located a short walk to all the action in town but on a quiet side street and inside has all the comforts of home away from home. It was spotless and everything worked. There was even coffee in the cupboard!

The wooden blocks kept him busy in between our ventures out around town and to Acadia National Park. You can easily walk through downtown Bar Harbor and to a playground at the Mount Desert Isle YMCA. Only a block from the start and finish of the YMCA Acadia Half Marathon. If we could give 10 stars, we would!

    My friends and I planned a girls trip to Acadia National Park, and Susan’s home was perfect for both exploring the hiking trails and the beautiful town of Bar Harbor. It’s a few steps from Main Street, and made for great nights out to dinner or days shopping the town. The home itself was very clean and the perfect size for the three of us, and we made so many lovely memories there. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a stay, and we will certainly be back :)

    The apartment is in a great location, with parking on site, and it had a lot of character. We generally enjoyed our stay, but the very detailed instructions we received before we arrived made us a little nervous, making it hard to fully relax. The bedrooms were much smaller than we were expecting - as there was just two of us, we managed OK, but it would have been difficult with any more people. Also, a small point, we are always willing to be helpful, but we did consider it a bit of an imposition to ask us to change the (out of date) battery in the smoke alarm (the host did provide the battery).

    We recently stayed at this property and had an overall pleasant experience. The home is in a great location, close to Acadia National Park and is well-appointed with comfortable furnishings and everything we needed for our stay. The space was clean, cozy, and well-maintained. The photos do not do the property justice. While the host was very responsive and friendly, they have a lengthy list of cleaning/check-out responsibilities that created high expectations and made the post-stay interaction a bit stressful. Overall, a great place to stay, but be sure you allot time to do some extra cleaning before your departure.
