The house was nice and the location was good because it was only 40 minutes from Acadia national Park and about 25 minutes to Schoodic Peninsula. The kitchen was well stocked, and the host was easy to communicate with. We enjoyed our stay..

This house is really cute. Though we did not use it, the yard is equipt with a firepit and plenty of sitting room. Nice garden around the house itself. Indoors, we had plenty of space for our family of 5. We were comfortable and settled in well.

This place was cozy, bright, and clean! There was plenty of space for our family of 6 and we loved the game room in the basement. The deck was the only thing that seemed like it could use tlc (and a hot tub *wink). We would definitely recommend staying here and would love to visit again some day!

This was the perfect place away from the crowds of Acadia and Bar Harbor. The house was well provisioned and the five of us and our little pup had plenty of room to enjoy. We would definitely return for a future trip!!

We took a family trip to visit Acadia and show some Texans and Californians some real fall colors. We had an amazing time and the house was so cozy and fully stocked! We’d highly recommend staying :)

We are a family of 5, with 3 teens. This house was a great space for us. It had separation for us to spend time apart and good space for us to be together. A few notes.Some reviews complained about the house being close to the road. This wasn't an issue for us. There are bushes separating the house from the road, and the road just isn't busy. The basement has the only TV, which was great, and it had a pool table. The basement was a bit cramped for a pool table but we made it work. The pool cues need replaced, most are either broken or need new tips. Also the plastic darts for the dart board have bent tips and need replaced. All these are minor issues that we worked with.The distance from Acadia was perfect for us. We don't mind 45 minutes on the road. The house does not have AC, but our week was mild temps, so it was beautiful. The house does have some quirks. The light switches are super confusing in some places. I don't think we ever figured out how to turn some lights or fans on. The host was great! We didn't have any fluid to start the charcoal grill, and she brought some over. There are restaurants and grocers nearby, so it's not in the middle of nowhere. All in all, this was a great stay. Highly recommend!

Thank you, Chip, for your thoughtful review! I'm thrilled to hear that our space worked well for your family and that you enjoyed your stay. Your feedback on the pool cues and dart board is appreciated—I'll make sure to address those. We hope to welcome you again in the future!
Had a wonderful long weekend stay. Plenty in the house to keep the kids entertained, and relaxing environment for the parents.

We had the best time in your serene location. Cute house, as advertised, and centrally located to both parts of Acadia National Park- though both are about a 20-30 minute drive.
