    We had 11 in our group (5 kids) and were very happy the house was as pictured with great common gathering space. Great location to walk to downtown and an easy drive to multiple Acadia trail heads. Beds were comfortable and the host was responsive.

    It is a beautiful, spacious house in a gorgeous area! Our family really enjoyed staying here with Acadia & Bar Harbor so close by.There was no air conditioning at the house, which is common for the area, but it made leaving windows & doors open for air flow in the Summer difficult…The house is right off the Main road, so the auto traffic going by is pretty loud, especially with leaving windows open to cool off at night. We did not have garage access, just noting here in case that’s something needed. We slept 12 pretty comfortably, using the pull out. 14 people would have not been as comfortable especially with few bathrooms. Overall, it’s a lovely place in a fantastic location for experiencing Mount Desert Island!

    Located within easy walking distance to town of Southwest Harbor and an easy drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia park. Zane had good communication with us.

    Our family had a wonderful time visiting Maine, specifically Acadia NP and Bar Harbor areas. This house is easy-to-get-to, but away from the crowds of the park and Bar Harbor, but we were able to access both with ease. Zane, our host recommended several beautiful hikes near the house that we very much enjoyed. The house was clean with plenty of beds, showers, seats (couches and table) to meet our needs. We will return!

    This house was very convenient to Acadia NP and Bar Harbor. It had plenty of room for our party of 4 adults and 3 kids. The beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, and there was plenty of seating. Our grandkids loved the games! The arrangement of the bedrooms with a separate entrance from outside on the back deck for the two bedrooms over the garage was unusual. Good to know for those families with many young children. I would highly recommend you bring earplugs as the traffic on Main Street was loud at night. With the A/C window units (which we were thankful for), the windows couldn't be completely closed to help lessen the road noise. The first floor doesn't have A/C but there are fans which helped with our July visit. Zane was super responsive when things needed attention. He gave us restaurant recommendations which were great!

    Zane helped us immensely for local information and he was available always. Great house for multiple young families with main house and apt above garage. It was helpful to have window ac units in all bedrooms since it was a little warm during our week. Walking distance to downtown with ice cream shops and coffee houses. Because the house is on the road-there is a lot of car noise at night but always felt safe.

    Absolutely perfect location in Southwest Harbor. Everything was great from check-in to check-out. Zane is super responsive, answering all questions/needs. The house is exactly as described and pictured, definitely recommend for any groups or families staying in the area!

    Property was perfect for multi generation group. There was plenty of space for privacy, but communal areas fit everyone. It was right on main road leading into Southwest Harbor about 20 min from Bar Harbor and 25 into Acadia depending where you are headed. It was really nice to be away from Bar Harbor crowds and being close to Echo Lake (5 min) was perfect for our toddlers and the grandparents. Highly recommend and Zane was attentive throughout stay.
