The location is perfect for access into Bar Harbor and Acadia! The home was a wonderful getaway after exploring the local sites. We really enjoyed the fire pit and all the beautiful stars in the sky. ! It was quiet, comfortable, clean and cozy; well stocked with all the “extra” things we needed!

A well appointed and lovely property. Close enough to Acadia but secluded and quiet. The outdoor spaces were wonderful. Our dog felt relaxed and comfortable on the 1st day. We're not hot tub folks but if we were, the privacy would be great. Loved the 2nd story balcony for coffee in the morning and star gazing at night. Highly recommend.

The Acadian Gateway House has everything we needed for a comfortable vacation. Nice and private location. Great to have a full kitchen to cook a homemade meal after a long day of exploring Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor.

Had a great relaxing long weekend. The house was perfect for our needs and had everything you could possibly need. The hot tub was awesome for the snowy days we had after hiking. The host was super responsive to any of our questions and needs. We will certainly be making another trip out there

So glad you enjoyed your stay! Happy to help, with the extra cooling on the weird extra hot days (usually it’s not so hot here 😅) glad the extra fans and ac did the trick the night of your arrival! Happy traveling Linda!

To say we enjoyed our stay would be an understatement! The house is just as advertised and then some. We enjoyed all the space and comfort, with plenty of room for our family and dogs, as well as all of the amenities, especially the hot tub which is pristine. The kitchen was well stocked with all we needed to cook a few meals to save on eating out. The location is fantastic, being only 20 minutes from Bar Harbor/Acadia, while far enough to offer close proximity to more standard/affordable grocery, seafood, and restaurant options. Just far enough off the road to stifle the highway sounds and a nice drive to walk the dogs on. Walking distance to the Park Gateway Center and short drive to a disc golf course was a big plus. We would recommend this stay to any who are traveling to the Acadia area!

We stayed at this property in the beginning of September. The property was perfect for relaxing after a long day of hiking in Acadia national Park. The kitchen was well equipped. The hot tub was a pleasant surprise! The property is close to everything would want to do in that area. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect location to explore Acadia NP

Property was as expected & clean and the owner was responsive to us during our stay. Just far enough away from the hustle of Bar Harbor yet close enough to visit & appreciate the small village. Acadia National Park wS our main destination & didn't disappoint!

Perfect home for our Acadia trip!

It was lovely to have such a comfortable home to go to after spending amazing but tiring days at Acadia. Plenty of space for us to stretch out, cook some quick meals and exhale. Thank you so much for the hospitality.

My twins and I had an amazing time! The house was spotless and has incredible artwork throughout. We enjoyed going out and having lobster dinner and marshmallows by the fire at home. We are so grateful for the hospitality and time spent together there.

Family trip to Acadia

We loved staying at this property. We saw more wildlife on this property than we did in all of Acadia. It was 20ish minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia was on the way there. The lobster pounds nearby were delicious and it was a nice and private location. Mature trees and tall field grass separated the house from the busy road. Host was friendly and accessible.

Family weekend

We had a great weekend visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia, while staying at this property. The house was bigger than what the pictures show. The air condition g unit upstairs is very loud, but we were so tired from hiking all day, that we slept through it. The bathroom is small, but it was clean.

Pefect!

This was the perfect little spot for our weekend in Bar Harbor and Acadia! Everything was a 15-20 min drive. The house was set back off the main road but you can still hear the busy traffic at times. My only complaint is that the shower was TINY and there is no where to put your shampoo, soap, etc in the shower itself.
