    I rarely post comments, but I felt impelled to do so in this case. The property and furnishings were amazing and surpassed my expectations. There were ample supplies including many items that you would never expect in a rental. I think the reason I enjoyed it as much as I did was the feeling that they really cared about their renters. I actually felt like part of the family. I rated this a rare 5 out of 5 stars and truly recommend it.

    A very comfortable stay for our group of 11. The house was at a good location midway between schoodic peninsula and the hills cove visitor center.

    The house is clean, roomy and comfortable for our gang of 12. The kitchen is well stocked to prepare home cooked meals. The appliances are all modern and upscale. Communication with the owner was superb; check in and check out was a breeze. Will definitely stay here again and have already recommended the house to others!

    The home was lovely and very comfortable. The check in and out processes were easy. It took us about 30 minutes to get to Acadia from this house.

    This home was in a great location for our daily trips to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The table for ten was perfect for gathering in the evenings to enjoy home cooked meals, followed by smores around the campfire. It was supplied with everything we needed to make our stay very enjoyable and stress free. Absolutely would stay here again!

    My husband and I, along with our dog, enjoyed a three day stay at this terrific property in Hancock Maine. The house is ideally situated a short drive to Ellsworth, and a half-hour drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. It is at the end of a long driveway and surrounded by grass and lush forest. Our dog loved the yard! The house itself is very comfortable and well appointed, with everything required to make a stay complete.

    We loved the house and property. Only complaint was the laundry room commode leaked and the A/C filters were clogged. Would stay again.

    The Wanderlust was great for our family trip to Acadia. The host was very easy to communicate with, and checkin/checkout were a breeze. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The four bedrooms each had a different layout, which was perfect to accommodate both the adults and kids. The kids also enjoyed playing in the large yard. The house is close to several grocery stores and restaurants and about 30-40 mins from anything in Acadia and Bar Harbor. It was a perfect home base for our trip!

    Home was just as advertised. Clean, comfortable, stocked well. Good option for familes visiting the Bar harbor / Acadia area (about 30 mins away). Beds were very firm and comfortable. Room with 4 beds is perfect hangout spot for the kids.

    The house was a great place to stay with a great location . The house sits off the road so it provides a nice retreat and play area for kids. The house would be good for a big family as there were many sleeping options and was well equipped with supplies for your stay.We enjoyed the restaurant Ruth and Wimpy’s that was close. Short drive to Acadia National Park.
