Please note: The Security Hold/Deposit is $750 and VRBO/Homeaway does not collect but instead places a collateral credit hold for this amount, to be released in the event no claims are made, therefore VRBO issues no security refund. Please contact them directly prior to booking if you need further clarity.

Please note: VRBO will generate the cost of your stay when you enter dates and number of occupants, this quote is accurate and has already been adjusted to add taxable administrative fees above the owner's rental rate. The amount you pay to VRBO includes added VRBO and agency administrative fees (the added amount the Agency charges to book this property through VRBO). These added charges will not be reflected on your lease papers, as they are not part of the Lease Agreement between you and the homeowner, and so rates quoted here will reflect a rate higher than listed elsewhere. The rental rate that is noted in the body of the property description is the actual amount that will be reflected in the lease agreement; this amount is without added fees. Please let us know if you need further clarification. All bookings require a separate Lease Agreement and Lease Packet to be completed and signed by both parties within an Agency determined time frame after booking through VRBO/Homeaway to bind the reservation. Please do NOT initiate a request to book until we let you know we are ready, as it will either be declined, allowed to expire, or edited to a higher rate to include an added administrative fee, to cover associated VRBO penalties, since we'll need time to discuss your reservation with the homeowner. Thank you so much in advance for your patience and understanding.

Please Note: Rates are only quoted for the 2026 Season.

    Beautiful property. Light-filled contemporary A-frame looking out on marshes and ponds. Isolated from other homes but only five minutes off of a main road on MDI. Comfortable beds and bedrooms, excellent internet. Good communication with property management company.

    Property was beautiful and the view was breathtaking. The kitchen was well stocked. It was disappointing that the indoor and outdoor fireplaces were not to be used. The 9:00 am checkout was not a problem for us however it does seem earlier than most places we have stayed.

    We had an amazing time in the property. The views and home were great, we had little interactions with birds and local deer and turkeys, and everything was clean! Be sure to take a right into the property and not get confused by the similar address pointing left. Very thankful to get to stay there!

    We celebrated our 30th anniversary in Bar Harbor and Acadia. The trip was incredible and the house we stayed in was amazing! The home was comfortable and very modern. The privacy and seclusion were what we had hoped for, but it was still close enough to local amenities and sites we wanted to see. We enjoyed the wildlife that varied day by day and the sunsets and the stars at night made the home more pleasing. We highly recommend this home and are already planning a return visit. Communication with our host was also very smooth and they were great to work with. Thank You!!!!

    The place was absolutely amazing. The swamp behind the house - we saw the impact of high tide and low tie, instead of bar island path. We wish to stay at the same place if we return to Acadia
