The condo was in a great location with easy access to Acadia and Bar Harbor. It was very quiet there and we had deer in the front yard one day. The walk trail across was a great place to get some exercise.

Incredible gem We LOVED this beautiful private home! Thank you to Paige for such gracious hospitality! We loved coffee on the back porch with gorgeous views of the forrest. One morning I heard a moose snorting. We loved the cute modern, warm interior. Spotless and beautiful. Close drive to Acadia, Bar Harbor and all of the amazing sites.

Very private new home. Beautiful views and nice walking trail across the street. All beds comfortable and plenty of space for relaxing upstairs. The deck also provides a place to relax and stargaze. Grocery store and Walmart are a 20 minute drive. Acadia National Park is a 30 minute drive and Schoodic Penisula is 40. We did a lot of exploring. This was a great place to come back to each evening.

Amazing house and so close to Acadia

The stay was incredible and everything about the description was spot on and more. It made for a perfect stay for us. The location has the perfect mixture of solitude and proximity to grocery stores/restaurants and the National Park. Our hosts were incredible - thank you!
