Stayed Jun 6, 2023Wonderful quaint house nestled in the woods in southwest bar harbor Maine. Beds were great. All redone and beautifully decorated. Fully stocked kitchen and lots of windows. Grill worked great and table to dine outside and cool fire pit. Great lighting and nice furniture and large tv. Everything about this home was perfect. Highly recommend 31 minutes drive to bar harbor and Acadia national park. Minutes from lighthouse. Deer everywhere. Host had everything ready and simple checkout.

Stayed Oct 23, 2025This is a lovely house on a very secluded, wooded road. Clean, warm, just as advertised. We loved it. Deer everywhere and close to ocean and hiking trails. The host, Amy, was immediately responsive to messages. Maine is beautiful - we will be back. Highly recommended.

Stayed Oct 13, 2025Amy’s place was the perfect relaxing spot on the quiet side of Acadia. We loved the comfy beds and proximity to Wonderland Trail, Bass Lighthouse, and Charlotte’s lobster pound. Across from Charlotte’s was a perfect spot to watch the sunrise over the water, away from the Cadillac Mountain crowds.

Stayed Sep 6, 2025I stayed at Stepping Stone last year and decided to stay for two weeks this year. The house is in a quiet neighborhood with deer frequently visiting. It’s a very clean and comfortable home. The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking or there are local places to eat out. There is a fire pit conveniently located just off the deck for roasting marshmallows. I love the Southwest Harbor location and I would definitely stay at Amy’s home again!

Stayed Aug 16, 2025Good clean and functional space. Location is solid for getting into SW Harbor and accessing other areas on that part of MDI. Interesting neighborhood with what appears to be combination of seasonal cottages, year round residences and camp sites. Tons of deer everywhere in this specific part of MDI. Good sized new grill works well and kitchen has updates appliances and all the tools needed to cook just about anything. Garage space is helpful for gear/equipment, bikes and watercraft. Excellent communication from host. Definitely a very solid option for a family of four at a reasonable price point for two bedroom, two bath accommodations during MDI peak season.

From soap and shampoos to a hairdryer and iron, even dish soap and laundry soap provided along with a well stocked kitchen- you won’t have to drag it all from home.

Stayed Jul 19, 2025My husband and I stayed at Amy's extremely comfortable Seawall home. We had everything we needed and more! The kitchen had more cookware than I do at my home! No need to eat out all the time. 2 spacious bathrooms, and the mattresses... we both slept like we home! The location just can't be beat. Its withing walking distance to a gorgeous beach and close to downtown. Amy's house has all the comforts of home and we throughly enjoyed our stay. We'll be back and will happily stay here again!

Stayed Jul 3, 2025Full disclosure, we were charged for damage to the bottom of a door that was not damaged during our visit. If you stay absolutely document the condition at arrival and inform VRBO of any detail. The unit was advertised as air conditioned. There is a single window unit in the dining area which was not shown on the VRBO pictures leading you to believe that it had central air. The rest of the unit relied on open windows to cool which was insufficient. The house was clean except for a very moldy front loader washer and ants, The house felt unsafe. The garage doors were not latched to openers and could just be lifted up at any time. The door from the garage to the house could be locked but no key to it. The house itself was unlocked on arrival and we were told to leave unlocked upon exit. Additionally, the construction is obviously unprofessionally performed. This evidenced by the visible framing in the garage was not to code, poorly painted cabinets, and unpainted wood filler in the bathroom trim. The location is advertised as in close proximity to Acadia NP. In reality there is a small camp ground and rocky beach that is close but the bulk of the park and Bar Harbor is over 30 minutes drive away.

Stayed Jul 8, 2025This property was comfortable and clean with everything you need for a restful retreat from the business of Acadia and Bar Harbor. Very convenient for Bass Harbor Lighthouse. We loved being away from the crowds and chaos of Bar Harbor. I highly recommend staying here!Would recommend dinner at nearby Peter Trouts. Lots of locals there. Coffee and bagels and Milagro was also a treat.Only suggestion I have is adding a mattress topper to the master bed.

Stayed Jun 22, 2025This property was beautifully decorated with attention to details. Everything was stocked as advertised. i’ve stayed at many VRBOs that did not have the items they listed in their description and then you need to run to a store to pick up needed items. This is also the cleanest vrbo that i’ve stayed. The bed linens and pillows were really nice. We loved that after a busy day hiking or in the nearby towns, we could go back to this peaceful retreat. Most evenings we would sit out at a fire before going to bed. It was also neat to see deer and their fawn passing through the yard. Amy was an attentive host prior to and during our stay, answering any messages or calls promptly. I would highly recommend this location

Stayed Oct 15, 2024We were not aware of the drive into the property at night. That was a little. Concerning, But by morning, we were much more comfortable about where we were. When we drove into the driveway the first evening, there was a very large deer sitting in the yard and that’s what we drove into. Funny but also scary. It is a beautiful home and decorated very nicely and the rooms worked out great for my friend and I. Very well stocked with all you need for your stay.
