    Great deck with a great view was the best part. The cabin was pretty clean. They allow pets which is unfortunate cuz they don't do a deep clean after a dog has been there, leaving dog hair behind on furniture and blankets. Food from previous people was left behind. Food wrappers and trash left in bedroom drawers. Spiders, cob webs, holes in screens, overgrown grass. It is what I anticipate the end of the season not beginning of season to be like. Washer was broken but Pete got it fixed. The host Pete was very nice and responsive but I don't want to have to keep asking for things to be fixed and dealing with repair people all stay.

    Stunning bayside views of sunrise and water birds. Gourmet kitchen that is well stocked. Comfortable beds, linens, and living space. Only one problem, very poor water pressure. I don’t recommend showers. Sponge bath works for us. Made it feel a little more rustic. We had a wonderful family vacation! Very pet friendly.

    We spent a great week at Overlook in late March. Location was perfect for both on and off island activities. Beautiful views at any time of day, but sunrise was particularly good.

    Ideal location for all the bar harbor and acadia attractions. Close to town as well. Beautiful home on the water with access to watch to the tides, sunrises, starlit nights. Peter was in constant contact to make sure our stay was an amazing visit. Cant wait to make our next trip up and stay here again

    We had a wonderful six night stay in early October. Three generation family and we all agreed, it was the nicest VRBO stay we have ever had. Great house - great location. The communication with the host prior and during the visit was thorough and helpful. The house is really well laid out with a large common area and a great porch to gather. Great accessibility to Acadia. Cannot recommend highly enough

    The property location was very nice. Easy drive to everything on the island but remote at the same time. The sunrises are amazing. Plenty of room and comfortable for 8 people. Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Peter was always available, check in was easy. Driveway is quite steep, I recommend having a 4 wheel dive car if you plan on staying here.

    The view off the back porch and the overall charm of the property makes this place special! We saw seals everyday while sitting in the back porch. At night you get a great clear view of the stars! We had everything we could need available to us! With Acadia and bar harbor just a short drive away it makes this house a home run!

    This rental absolutely lived up to its high rating. The location couldn’t be better—just minutes from the park entrance, yet the cabin felt private and secluded. It was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, and the views were truly stunning.We loved the digging for mussels down at the beach (delicious!) and found the kitchen to be well-equipped for cooking. Peter was communicative and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire stay.Our only (very minor) issue was that the tap water had a strong metallic taste, so we ended up buying bottled water during our stay. Definitely not a deal breaker, but worth mentioning.Overall, a wonderful experience—our family would happily stay here again!

    This is an incredible property in a pristine location. Peter is a 5-star host--absolutely the best. Everything about our stay was perfect. You are near everything on MDI and yet completely secluded. There is really no need to leave the house! The deck is the perfect place to soak in the calm and peacefulness that are abundant just out the back door. The kitchen is terrific for meal prep and we loved having dinner in the screened-in porch. Can't recommend this strongly enough!

    The house was a wonderful post and beam design with lots of windows. It has a beautiful view of the ocean and is surrounded by nature. We saw deers and fawns, otters and several bald eagles, one of which would sit in a tree 50 ft from the house. It was easy to get to Bar Harbor and the park as well as local grocery stores and restaurants. All around great place and vacation spot. We were lucky to catch a beautiful sunrise at the house and sunset from Cadillac Mountain and also experience two nice cool foggy hikes. Now back home and 95 degrees we wish we could have stayed longer!

    We were 3 adult couples visiting Acadia Park. Layout allowed us to spread out - 1 bed/bath on each floor, 1 bdrm was unused. Older home so you can hear people going up/down stairs at night. Location was quiet, away from hustle and bustle but close enough to Bar Harbor, Acadia and some convenient restaurants nearby. Beautiful view from deck and fun to walk down and explore the shore. Kitchen was well stocked and we appreciated items in pantry, condiments and plenty of spices. House could use some general minor maintenance but overall we enjoyed our stay.

    It was a vacation for a grown family with 2 young grandchildren. Nana, Papa and aunts and uncles. Kitchen was terrific as we did all our own cooking. Nice size fridge for a weeks groceries for 10! WiFi worked well for a few that had to work remotely. Great time in a large comfortable home. If I were to offer any suggestions, making more bath towels available would be nice.
