The house is as advertised. Clean home. Comfy king bed. It was perfect for my husband, myself, and our dog. It is between Acadia (40-60mins) and Schoodic(20ish mins). Be sure to check out bar harbor lobster pound for a lobster roll. Ironbound down the road has reallllly good food too. We would book again.

We were so impressed with how clean and lovely the rental was! The host went out of her way to make sure we would have everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house and yard were nice for our dogs, and I think it was a great location for trips to Acadia and other local spots. There is one other rental house that shares the area, and if you want to walk around a bit more you do need to take a car to get to quiet trails or the water. However, it’s a very convenient location to get to local restaurants and shops.

Beautiful home, every amenity was taken into consideration. The house was clean, smelled nice, pillows were comfortable and all appliances were in working order. We came to hike Acadia National Park and the distance from the park and access to other small towns was perfect. Highly recommend this listing

The house was in a great area, close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor but not in the hustle and bustle of down town. House was pet friendly and we had a nice size yard for the dog to play in. The house was clean and comfortable. It would have been nice however if the host provided things like salt & pepper, coffee, etc. little things that were needed / wanted but annoying to bring with us from several states away.
