House was exactly as described and perfect for our family vacation. Clean, spacious, private, and a well stocked kitchen meant we didn’t need to go out for every meal. Well located on the island for ease of access to Acadia, Bar Harbor and other towns. Would stay here again for sure

Perfect stay!

This was a great house for a larger family — plenty of space and the outdoor area was so enchanting. It was easy to get to several restaurants and locations, but also felt secluded and quiet. Best of both worlds!

We had a nice time in Acadia, and house was close to Southwest Harbor and the carriage trails at the park. We enjoyed watching the deer eat under the apple trees each morning.

Amazing Getaway!

Our group of 7 (3 adult couples and 1 toddler) loved this house. It was just as described and beautiful in person. It was very clean, welcoming and comfortable. We appreciated the privacy of the location as well as the proximity to downtown Bar Harbor and all that Acadia has to offer. There is so much to see and do in the area so we hope to be back!

The Best!

The house is even better than the pictures. The location is perfection. You feel away from crowds, but easily accessible to restaurants and activities. It has all the amenities needed for preparing meals, great outdoor space. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. This house is just “the best”

What a lovely home in Acadia! Very short drive into Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The house was beautiful and very quiet. Just what my family looked forward at the end of the day in the park. Can’t wait to return!

Fantastic

We enjoyed the house (especially the kitchen and the old fashion bath tub in the master bath). The house was nicely furnished and it was a beautiful place to relax with the family and play board games. We enjoyed the private setting and the central location close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National park.

Awesome house with everything you need to make it a real family vacation!

The house is large with a lot of common space for everyone. Kitchen is well stock with all you need to cook and bake all your fave food. Location is prime where you are away from the park’s crowd but close enough for you to get there when you need a great night out in town. Host communicated really well and making sure we understand the process from booking to checking in. The place is exceptionally well kept and super clean.
