Very very comfortable stay for a family of 4 with two adventurous little kids. Our boys loved roaming the large safe property in a great location for everything we wanted to do on the island. We saw turkey, deer, and fox out in the field during morning coffee or winding down at the end of the day. The treehouse was of course a hit and I'm sure we will have to come back for every future visit to Acadia.

This was a great space for my husband and me and our five young adult children. Plenty of space for everyone, great kitchen space and plenty of dishes, and comfortable beds and rooms. The outside temperature was quite cool when we were there, and it took us a bit to figure out the mini-split so we could get heat instead of AC, but we got it figured out, and it was then very comfortable. We enjoyed hiking in Acadia National Park, including Sand Beach, Thunder Hole, and climbing the Beehive. In Southwest Harbor, we played a round of mini golf at Golf of Maine and enjoyed delicious seafood at Eat-A-Pita. We also enjoyed pizza at West Eden Pizza in Bar Harbor. We would totally stay here again!

Perfect Home Base for Exploring Mt. Desert Island

Great property and wonderful location. Only minutes to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The house was well-equiped for making meals for our group of 10 (five kids, five adults). The large field was perfect for playing kickball or aerobie with the kids, between the hiking/biking trips to Acadia and sightseeing/shopping in Bar Harbor. Every morning we were greeted by either a flock of turkeys or deer grazing across the property. Also, a family of chipmunks by the grill provided entertainment while dinner cooked and the kids enjoyed a little downtime in the treehouse or rec room. Would highly recommend!
