    The place was amazing with a great view of fall colors. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the pans and utensils you would need to cook. There were plenty of linens and the beds were comfortable. Theresa is a great host and very responsive. If we come back to Acadia again we will definitely stay here!

    This property was on the quiet side of Mount Desert Island. Great deck & living areas with well equipped kitchen and linens. Very attentive & informative host.

    This was our fifth year at Gladeview, and we always love coming back to Theresa’s beautiful house. The space is wonderful for reconnecting with nature and each other. The wall of windows in the open family room, dining room, and kitchen makes you feel like you’re out in the woods and the glade. You can't beat the deck for summer relaxation on the hammock.Theresa has all the kitchen tools you need to feel comfortable cooking. This year, she replaced the oven/stove with a brand-new unit, which was a game-changer for preparing dinners in the house. She also provides plenty of towels, extra pillows, and blankets. We especially appreciated the fans in both bedrooms on warm days.We were there for two weeks, and Theresa even texted me a heads-up before the mosquito spraying happened. She’s both responsive and kind. Coming to Southwest Harbor each year is something we think about all year long, and having Gladeview to call home is a big part of why.

    Beautiful home with warm wood and a perfect balance of simplicity and amenities. Responsive host and clear instructions. Convenient to Southwest Harbor and Bass Harbor. Nice setting by marsh on the quietside; you do hear some traffic from Route 102. Only extra we wished for was a second bathroom. We highly recommend this property.

    It was a beautiful, relaxing and accommodating home. My husband said it was the best part of our trip lol. A great place for our toddler because it wasn’t cluttered with a bunch of knick knacks. The only thing to pay attention to that we didn’t is there is no A/C. It cooled off at night and wasn’t to hot, but they do have fans that helped.

    Our stay at this property was great! First of all, Theresa, the owner, was kind and considerate in my dealings with her and her effort to make sure everything was just right for her guests shows throughout this property. This is a beautiful spot to stay at and a wonderful home to experience. Everything could we possibly need to enjoy our stay here was available for our use! Kudos to to the person that Theresa has that prepares this property for the next guests. Every area of this property was so clean that I would be hard pressed to find a speck of dust anywhere! I am amazed at how thorough a job is done in cleaning this property so well in the limited amount of time available between guests! I could go on and on about how wonderful my stay here was, but I will end this by saying this property will be the first place I would consider to stay at should I return to Mt. Desert Island again!

    We have stayed several times on the island and this home has been the best place by far. The on line pictures do not do this place justice. We enjoyed hiking on both sides of the island and the area was extremely quiet! Highly recommend

    The house is in a beautiful section of Southwest Harbor, it is on a private little dirt road with only 3 houses on it, beautiful marsh on the deck side of property. We were able to be secluded but be 5 minutes from town as well. We all had a great stay.

    Beautiful home in a quiet and convenient location. It was a short distance from hikes, Bar Harbor and the Park Loop Road. Plenty of restaurants close by. We loved sitting on the large deck and playing games at the large table. The home was very clean and well stocked with what we needed. We loved that we could bring our dogs with us on our Maine trip. We would stay here again on another trip to Maine.

    This is our second consecutive year at Theresa’s home and we are booking for next year. This home is wonderfully appointed, and in a nice location. Everything you would need is provided. I selfishly hate to admit what a beautiful home and lovely host Theresa is. She is easy to contact and addresses questions immediately. We feel home when we get there. Thank you for another great year!
