    This house was perfect for our family vacation in every way! The house was spacious, comfortable and beautifully equipped with everything we could possibly want or need. The views are spectacular from every spot on the property and the entire property is amazing! We had such fun kayaking, swimming, hiking, paddleboarding, cooking and playing games that we didn't need to go anywhere else. We did, of course, because there is so much to see and do on Mt. Desert Island and this house is perfectly situated for everything.Also, I can't say enough about our host, Sam! He was so welcoming, responsive and helpful! We loved this house and the surrounding property so much that we're all trying to make our houses feel the same way. An impossible task but we'll work on it until we have the chance to rent this house again!

    We stayed for 2 weeks in June and absolutely loved the cabin and property. We had 3 generations of family and everybody raved about the experience. The house was wonderful, the deck and sunsets were spectacular and the kids loved swimming, kayaking, and exploring on the beach and property. I can’t recommend it enough.

    The house and the views were wonderful. It was secluded and yet convenient to the park and restaurants and hiking. It was perfect.

    The property exceeded my family’s expectations and provided the perfect location to enjoy all that Mt. Desert island and Acadia have to offer. The rooms are comfortable and provided ample space for everyone to spread out. The kitchen was perfect for cooking and allowed for our large party of 10 to eat meals together. The kayaks allowed us to explore the sound and hunt for schools of mackerel in the morning. The large deck and wooded property were perfect for bird/nature watching, including waking up to the sounds of loons each morning. Samual was incredible to work with during the booking process and was very responsive to all our questions during our stay. He clearly enjoys being able to share a place he and his family love with others. In addition, Garrett (the onsite grounds keeper) provided quick, in person help when needed. My family has a long, multigenerational history visiting the island, and we had a truly wonderful and magical week that meant a lot to everyone.

    This is an absolutely beautiful location with a comfortable house and many amenities. Regardless of age or interests, everyone of us enjoyed our stay. The rocky shoreline was a big hit with our younger set, while the adults marveled at sunsets from the deck. We had easy access to Acadia; bird watching throughout MDI; a boat trip to see nesting puffins and playful seals; hiking to Cadillac Mountain to watch the to the sunrise; and a catered dinner on the deck. This was a very special vacation for all of us.

    The house is perfectly located on a beautiful sound that gave an amazing way to begin and end each day. From the wildlife to the sunsets, it created an amazing backdrop for a great family vacation. The house was well equipped and provides comfortable accommodations for the entire family. Located right across the street from a trailhead for hiking and convenient to bar harbor, but not in the all the traffic. The owner and caretaker were super responsive and made the entire visit seem less. Great place and would recommend.

    We just arrived home after our stay and amazing is an understatement. The house is the most well stocked VRBO I’ve ever stayed at, especially with things for families with small children. The location was perfect with a short drive getting you to several great places around the island. Definitely recommend. Pick this place for the sunset views alone.

    We could not have loved this home more — with 7 adults and 3 toddlers, we all had our own space inside while nestled in an idyllic park-like environment. Kitchen had everything we needed for many family-style meals around the huge eat-in kitchen table. Communication with the owner and on-site caretaker was a breeze both before and during the trip, and they made sure travel cribs were available for the kids so we could travel without. Can’t recommend this home enough!

    The house is just as it looks in the pics. You can tell from the minute you walk in that there have been a lot of fun times had here. The location is amazing and the view from almost every room is spectacular. We had several fires out on the point as the sun set over Somes Sound, which I will never forget. The owners were easy to work with and the property manager was great. We did use Chef Greg one night, which I'd highly recommend. Having said all this, there are some rustic elements. This house is a grand old dame, but she's probably due for a facelift, particularly when it comes to the bathrooms. Don't hesitate to book this place. We are a family of 8 that created some priceless memories here that we will never forget. Thanks to the Hargraves family for sharing this treasure with us.
