Perfect house

The house was perfect for our stay. A great location for Acadia National Park, just minutes away. The home is older and we loved that! Communication with the owners was very quick whenever we had questions.

Lovely house close to Acadia

This is a very well kept old house, full of New England charm, well stocked, with very comfortable beds. It's super convenient to Acadia and Bar Harbor without being in the middle of the hubbub. We had a lovely time!

Nice stay close from the National Park and Bar Harbor

We liked our stay at Edie's place. We were a large group of 8 and were easily accommodated in the house. The house is quiet and well equipped for a large group and is conveniently located from the National park and Bar Harbor. I would definitely recommend the place.

Great for equestrians using Wildwood Stables

This home is quite comfortable with well equipped kitchen and many other amenities. The host was extremely accommodating and easy to work with. The location is perfect for accessing the carriage roads and the many trails from Jordan Pond, as well as the popovers!

About the host

Hosted by Edith Dunham

My family has spent summers in Seal Harbor for 5 generations. My daughters and I have spent many winters here as well, enjoying Mount Desert Island in all weather. I love to share the beauty and magic of Seal Harbor, and I hope you have a great experience!

Why they chose this property

After selling the house I grew up in here, I bought this house from my cousins who were moving into assisted living. I love the feeling of the woods off of the deck and the quiet street. I am improving the house constantly, trying to upgrade the furniture, upholstery, and rugs. I have bought all new mattresses for the beds, new couches, a dining room table as well as the deck furniture.

What makes this property unique

Every direction you walk in from my house brings you somewhere beautiful. You can walk to the beach and the village green any time of day, or walk up the hill towards the Jordan Pond house and the carriage roads, or walk up Mackenzie Rd. to the Dunham School and the small playground.
