    Our family enjoyed this beautiful home to stay at for our vacation to Acadia National Park . The host Stephanie was very responsive . The home was spacious and extremely well stocked with everything you could ever want or need to make your stay even more wonderful . It was quiet, secluded and within 15 minute drive to Acadia National park. We enjoyed all of the amenities such as the outdoor fire pit with wood included , grill , game room and many pots and pans for cooking , bath towels . Honestly it was a wonderful stay and we would definitely go back again .

    His vacation home is amazing! Very clean and had everything we need plus more. The beds are very comfortable and plenty of furniture for everyone to sit together in living and dining areas. The basement activity room is amazing and we could barely get the kids to leave the house! This was our third stay. We love it at True North.

    Beautiful and private property! So much room to spread out in and had anything we could possibly need! It’s close to the park but far enough away from the hub bub of Bar Harbor where you can enjoy the peace and quiet. Communication with Stephanie (the owner) was promp and informative.

    An amazing, roomy house with a ton of amenities and ways for families to spend the time, and in a really central location to most of the things you will want to do on the island. Great hiking, paddling, and restaurants within a 5 minute drive.

    This was the best rental my family has used for vacation throughout New England. It was a perfect location for exploring the Bar Harbor area and Acadia National Park. Set back from the road, the property was quiet and welcoming for humans and animals. Well supplied for young children through adults. Definitely worth the price ( which actually was pretty low compared to smaller rentals!).

    The description of the property is accurate. We really enjoyed our stay. The house was a great fit for our family. It was easy to travel to different areas on the island. If we ever make it back to to island, we hope to stay here again.

    Tons of room for everyone. Could make our own lobster, so yes the kitchen is fully stocked. The basement is great for a raining day. Steph was easy to communicate with.

    This was on of the best VRBO rentals we ever used. House was conveniently located on 20 acres of great forest, very quiet, close to Acadia park and many local attractions. For 6 adults it was just perfect, 3 large bedrooms, very clean, kitchen had everything we needed ( I mean everything! - special thank you!). Very comfortable beds! Basement with many activities! After long hikes in Acadia it was very nice to cook home dinner and enjoy a cup of tea on the deck and a good movie with friends. Stephanie is great host, she responded to all my questions, right away, and we did follow many of her recommendations with great success. So, we had a dream vacation mostly because of this great property and Stephanie.
