Acadia Vacation

This house was a great place to stay while we explored Acadia National Park. My wife and I stayed with our German Shepherd dog. It was a quiet and comfortable place to retreat to in the evenings after a busy day exploring the area. The house is well stocked with all the amenities to make you feel right at home. We would definitely stay here again if we vacation in the area again.

My husband and I went to Maine for our Anniversary. We love Maine. This house and property are perfect. The yard is beautiful and very private. The house was extremely clean. It was easy to ask Tiffany anything and she returned the answer promptly! We explored during the day and retreated to the house for relaxing nights. The firepit is very nice. I recommend this property to anyone that needs to get away and relax. You are close to everything. We loved our time in Maine. We will return. Jill & Gregg RI

Maine Adventure 2023

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this Hancock ME property, although it wasn't long enough. It appears to be a relatively new build, furnishings are nice, kitchen also. Very clean. Close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park plus many excellent seafood restaurants.

Wonderful time!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cottage. It was new, clean and Tiffany was very sweet when I spoke with her on the phone. It was our first time in Maine and I couldn't have picked a better place to stay. We enjoyed Acadia National Park with many hiking trips. Its beautiful country. We hope to visit again soon. Thank you Tiffany and Richard for allowing us to stay in your home.

Great VRBO experience

The house we stayed at was in a wonderful location. Only about 30 minutes from Schoodic Point and 40 from Bar Harbor and the other side of Acadia. It had all amenities and the host definitely had a mind for details. She thought of everything. Great spot out back to sit by the fire and make s’mores. This was the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. If you want a higher end experience for not a lot of money, stay here. We also had the opportunity meet the host/owner and she was very pleasant. Great vacation!!

Maine getaway

This cottage is very clean with all basic amenities we have come to expect at a rental property - linens, towels, enough kitchenware, laundry. Nice fire pit and grill, too. Local art on display. It was some distance to Acadia NP on Mount Desert Island - 25 minute drive. This led us to explore an unexpected treasure of another part of the NP on Schoodic peninsula, and that ended up being our favorite part of the park.

Acadia/Bar Harbor Getaway

This house is in a great central location to Bar Harbor, Schoodic, and Acadia. Many amenities nearby for supplies or whatever you might need. The house itself is great. It is well-maintained and clean. It has everything you need. The yard is private and well-maintained also. You can’t beat sitting by the fire pit and relaxing after a day of hiking. I appreciate being able to bring my dogs along. Owners are available if needed. This is our third year staying here and we will be back next year. It offers exactly what we need.

Weekend in Maine

This house is the perfect fit for those who are looking for the comfort of a home that you will not spend a lot of time at. Yet it is perfect for those who would spend a lot of time there. Easy drive to Acadia National Park. Tidal Falls is right down the road. There wasn't anything that the owner did not think of. Plenty of Towels, hand towels, and wash clothes. They provided all the essentials for our length of stay. It should be noted that the coffee maker is a Keurig. Upon our arrival there was a handwritten note to us with a jar of Blueberry Jam and a Dog bone for our boy. The only suggestion that we have is to provide a stick vacuum to run on the floor for those who are coming with pets. Thank you for a great weekend stay.

Perfect to explore Down East Maine!

My wife and I and 2 hounds spent 2 wonderful weeks at this property. It was so clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. New appliances and very well stocked kitchen. Great communication when needed. We would recommend to 2 couples or small families looking for a central location to explore, Acadia, Ellsworth, Schoodic Point, Petit Menan, Machias, Milbridge, and beyond. R and J Butcher
