Loved sitting by the water. The beds were so comfortable and the kitchen was great. Very clean too! We love this part of the Island… took some wonderful hikes too! Thanks for a wonderful getaway!
My family booked this home for a few days during our vacation in Acadia National Park. The home was exactly as described, and everything about the stay was perfect. The home was clean, comfortable, accommodating, and in a beautiful location. We wish we could have stayed longer!
Great Stay - tucked away in the quiet part of Mount Desert Island.
Loved our stay in this location! Quiet, clean and cute property was great for our family of 4. We did a number of hikes and kayaking close to Echo Lake and Long Pond. Great location for those that don't want the crowds of Bar Harbor, but want the beauty of the Island.
A quiet, quaint and relaxing place to stay with my family. The owner gave us great suggestions for local restaurants (which were fantastic) and the vibe of the town was low key and chill (especially compared to Bar Harbor). The house was very clean and cute! I already miss morning coffee from the deck!
Great location for us. We spent three days exploring Acadia National Park and surrounding area. Easy access and plenty of nearby restaurants, coffee shops and convenience stores. Stacy was quick to respond to a couple of minor things that occurred. Would highly recommend this rental. House was clean, well furnished and very comfortable for four adults.
The home was warm and inviting, clean and peaceful. Our only difficulty was the internet which was intermittent, which meant we had difficlty logging in for work and watching television. We did get quick responses from the manager but did need to call in for a work order.
We had a lovely stay! Everything was clean and well-stocked. There are a few hikes and sights nearby as well has places to get groceries and the like. Acadia National Park is a quick car trip away. We enjoyed the sunset from the backyard. Highly recommend!
This place was an oasis of relaxation amidst our hikes, swims, bike rides within Acadia and visits to Bar Harbor. Waking up to have coffee on the deck, read by the water, watch my teens slog through the mud at low tide. Saw many deer, hawks, fireflies. House was well-equipped for cooking and grilling. We even had space to do a jigsaw puzzle together. Highly recommend.
We loved this beautiful home so much! It is just perfect for visiting the area, or staying in and relaxing. There are also grocery stores nearby with a good selection. The view is lovely and the landscaping creates a beautiful scene. Thank you for an amazing experience!
