About the host
Hosted by Stephanie Fountaine
I was born and raised in Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island. I am a 20 year paralegal and office manager for my husband's business Bar Harbor Building Contractor's, LLC. I have been in the weekly rental business for over 15 years. I am a devoted mother to a wonderful 11 year old boy and 17 year old niece. We travel frequently and rent weekly rentals so I understand what people need and want in a rental home.
