Nicest and cleanest VRBO that we’ve ever stayed in. We loved how child friendly it was for our toddler. Great location for visiting Acadia National Park and surrounding areas. Property is quiet and secluded, we enjoyed stargazing on a clear night.

Excellent home away from home. Close to national park attractions and far enough away from the crowds. I loved that our pup could join us and have a comfortable place and yard away from major roads. The home was clean and host was friendly and accommodating.

Our stay at the house was perfect for exploring Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The house had everything we needed. Tiffany was easy to communicate with and responded so quickly to any questions I had. I would highly recommend staying at the house to anyone looking to spend time near Acadia.

Great location! My wife, son and I were visiting Acadia for the week. We like to be close, but far enough away we avoid the crowds. This was perfect. Close to the park and ten min from Ellsworth for anything you may need. The house is exactly as described and very cozy. We enjoyed using the grill and the bed in the master bedroom was so comfortable. Great place to sleep off a full day of hiking. Would stay again

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.

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

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.

Very clean welcoming home. Nicely situated near popular attractions, but far enough out that you can enjoy peace and quiet after a long day. Tiffany is super responsive and goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay!

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.
