Everything about this rental was great from beginning to end. Communication was excellent, the space was clean and comfortable, and check in and out was easy. We highly recommend this rental. We hope to visit again!
Our family of 5 had a lovely stay at Hidden Elm! The property is lovely, was very clean, lots of nice amenities (cookware, soaps, dishwasher detergent, laundry soap, comfy beds, sheets, and towels, etc.). LOVED the location--we enjoyed walking into SW Harbor, and easy driving into Acadia, Bar Harbor, Mount Desert, etc. The primary bedroom is set apart from the other 3 bedrooms which worked for us, and our two older children stayed upstairs. The baby stayed in the sitting room near the primary bedroom. Libby was a wonderful host! The steps are steep and both bathrooms are on the main level, but it all worked out great for our group. Would definitely stay at this house again!!
This was the most well equipped vacation rental we've ever stayed at. We brought a cooking pot and spices from home as we have found in the past that everything was not provided. Not the case here. We could have saved the room. The home was beautiful, the master bedroom and bathroom luxurious, and the village quaint. I would recommend this home without reservation.
Fantastic place to stay. Walking distance to Southwest Harbor and short drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia Park entrance. Wonderful home and great for 4 couples or family.
Great location to beautiful Southwest Harbor and Acadia Park. Owners are awesome and made sure we felt welcome. Would stay here again. Perfect for 4 couples.
Everything we needed was there! A lot of properties say they have everything, but this one actually delivered. The master bedroom and bathroom were beautiful and luxurious. Wish it was in my house!
Nice cottage hidden away close to town. That fact was quite nice - a short walk to town to the bakery and restaurants. It is on the quiet side of MDI. My favorite thing about the house was the shower in the main bedroom. Good hot water and great pressure! It was quite nice on the cold days. Despite being close to town, it was rather quiet at the house, comfortable living room in which to relax. The thing to consider about the house is that both bathrooms are on the same (main) level. This was a bit of a challenge in the night when nature called. The railing on the stairway is a bit awkward (low) especially for those who are tall and/or elderly using the upstairs bedrooms. We managed just fine, but we certainly did not run up and down the stairs. Other than that, the house worked well and we’d stay there again on our next trip.
location was clean and kitchen well supplied. property appeared as shown on photographs. master en suite bathroom was very nice. cool nights made property very comfortable. stairs to second floor are very steep, and three upstairs bedrooms had to use first floor shared bathroom. it did not prove to be much of a hassle for any of the young adults sleeping upstairs. property was set back off main street for seclusion. walking distance to most everything in town. highly suggest doing grocery shopping on mainland before crossing water in Trenton. grocery prices were absolutely outrageous. not too many restaurant choices in town or on the western side of the island in general. Bar Harbor was very crowded, although it made for a good time when it rained on Labor Day. no complaints at all about property or its management. would definitely stay here again.
The house was very clean and comfortable. The checkin process was easy and efficient with a great bottle of wine to welcome us. The kitchen is well stocked for large family meals. The only downsize is not having a bathroom on the second floor. We were 2 families traveling together, a second on-suite bedroom/bathroom would have been great. However the 1 master suite is a great size and tucked away from the rest of the house.
Overall - Great In-town Location and Main Floor Including Master Suite. Second floor - Bedrooms were good, but no second floor bath and stairs were steep.
