    Great access to Acadia, and not a bad drive into town.

    We had a great stay! This rental is well located in a beautiful area of Mount Desert Island with great access to nature and Bar Harbor. The house is incredibly spacious (the photos don’t it justice) and is well stocked with everything we needed.

    What was especially nice about this property is that it was both conveniently located in proximity to many locations in the park, yet it felt sufficiently secluded, particularly in the backyard. Two huge bedrooms upstairs and just a neat old house that has been updated well. I also appreciated that the owner had an easily visible binder with check out instructions as well as a lot of information about local sights, services, and restaurants. I would definitely recommend it to others and would stay there again.

    Cabin was good size, large bedrooms and living area. Location was ok, better signage would help as it’s a little hard to see. Furnishings and linens are dated and worn, updating would be a good thing

    The location of this house was spectacular! Rooms were large and the kitchen was well appointed. We really enjoyed the deck and the fire pit! Sue was very responsive and took care of a small issue right away for us. Highly recommend!

    Spacious rental, and it was nice for our party of four to each have their own rooms with queen beds. The beds are quite firm. Furniture was dated but we had everything we needed. A great location. The hike down to the Otter Creek cove at low tide was lovely when you just cannot get yourself to get back in the car. Washer/dryer worked well.

    Everything was provided. Plenty of dishes, pots, pans, etc...Check in was easy. Host was there when I needed help and even left out a crock pot when I had asked if they provided. View was exeptional. I loved sitting out on the back deck listening to wildlife, watching the birds, and looking at the mountains, and stars.

    Location was amazing! The home is cute and my family enjoyed the outdoor fire pit in the evenings. Close to Bar Harbor and Acadia was a plus. The homes furnishings need updating immediately. For the cost it would have been nice to have living room furniture that welcomes you each time you return home. Unfortunately that is not the case. I looked at the reviews from previous folks and although I loved the location and the layout of the home, with the condition of the furniture and the bedding I can’t give this property a high rating. I was very honest with the owner and advised about missing window screens (2 in the living room, 1 in the first floor front bedroom, upstairs bathroom as well). broken front lock on home and dirty pots and pans at arrival. Although I loved the location, I won’t be back. No worries for them, they are booked solid. It would be nice to reinvest some of the monies they are receiving into improving the furnishings.

    There were 7 adults for a long weekend. The house was comfy and had everything we needed. Great location to access the park and not far to Bar Harbor. Had a fire each night out back which was great. Saw deer and turkeys every morning. Would definitely stay here again.

    Great location and home! Great yards for kids. Great stars and quit. Owner went above and beyond to quickly resolve a minor issue! would describe this property as a family home in the woods but close to everything with market across the street. Slightly older home but a great home base for Acadia! Great stay!

    Myself and my three close friends enjoyed a peaceful getaway here, and the house is so well located. Walking distance to a market, easy driving to trails and sights, and on a quiet road with tranquil woods around it. No complaints.

    The house was perfect for our stay! We had 8 adults in our party and every couple had spacious bedrooms. We enjoyed time around the fire pit and taking in the beautiful Fall scenery. It was very convenient to get into Acadia and only a few minutes to Bar Harbor.

    Had a great week on Mount Desert Island, Maine! Stayed in a house that was perfect for our large family. It was spacious, neat and clean. Our host always got back to us in a very timely fashion to any questions we had, from the booking process through our stay. Its location was in a peaceful area that was easy access to everywhere on the island. We hope to return again!

    The house had lots of room to spread out but stay together. Big open space concept living area (kitchen/dining/family room) and enough bedrooms and bathrooms for my wife and I plus our 2 adult sons and guests, and Don't forget the pup. The location is beautiful. It's set well off the road with a nice back yard and a fantastic view of Cadillac Mt. from the quiet deck. It's 10 minutes from Bar Harbor if you want to dine out or shop but far enough that traffic and crowds are left behind. If you want to hike (that was our goal) you are a 10 minute hike down the road to the Cadillac South trail head and a 2 mile hike to Thunder hole and the Gorham Mt. trail head. Although we could have taken the Free Island Express shuttle to almost anywhere on Mt Desert Island we never ended up needing it. Did I forget to mention you can get a lobster roll right across the street at the Otter Creek Market. Our only complaint (and it's not really a complaint) is that Air conditioning would have been nice cause we were there during a very hot week but there are plant of fans in the house and it cools off a bit after dark. Susan was quick to answer any questions. We are planning vacations to other National parks but if we decide to return to Acadia we would very much like to stay here again.
