Very nice property that hosted 5 of us very comfortably. The host is great with communication and has clear instructions for check in / check out. The yard is great with plenty of firewood to keep a great campfire and stare at the wonderful starry sky. Close to nearby towns and the national park. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your kind words. It is my pleasure to make each quest feel at home (away from home) and help however I can. The light house is a beautiful spot and while parking can be an adventure, walking there is more delightful, in my opinion. Glad you felt the same way. Come again!

Beautiful home base for all Acadia adventures. Excellent property to stay with families traveling together. Tina is a great host who is attentive, kind and thoughtful. Appreciated the practical extra items available like night lights. Beautiful deck for sunsets, kitchen window with the hummingbird feeder is a big hit! Walking distance from the lighthouse.

The property was clean and we loved all the deer in the yard each day! We enjoyed our stay. Tina was very receptive when we sent a text asking a question. It was spacious which was good since it was two families traveling with two children under two.

So glad you enjoyed the house and that it met your needs. It is great for generational travelers as well as couples that want their own spaces. The deer enjoy the yard and in the late spring/early summer their babies are a delight to watch play. Hope you will come again!

Perfect Place To Stay for Acadia Visit

Our family of 6 were very comfortable in this home. It had all the amenities we needed and the host was super helpful with local tips, etc. It is a short, easy drive to local attractions. Also a short walk to the nearby lighthouse. Peaceful property to relax inside or outside. Would definitely recommend!!

Wonderful Stay In Beautiful Bass Harbor

We were blessed to have found a perfect place to stay for our vacation. House was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed during our stay. We were just a short drive to Bar Harbor and many other places we wanted to visit. Hoping this home will be available the next time we visit Maine. Thank you for letting us rent from you!

Comfortable and spacious

We very much enjoyed our stay here -- the house is spacious, clean, quiet, and exactly as described. We loved roasting marshmallows over the firepit and sitting on the back deck, either with the birds for coffee in the morning or watching the sun set over the trees in the evening. We love the quieter side of the island and hope to be back!

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. There is something to be said about peace and quiet. The house is definitely on the quieter side of the island and yet not that much of a travel. How can you not love the opportunity to have a marshmallow while seeing the sun set. Come again.

Great location and wonderful house

The house was away from the crowds but close enough to be convenient. It was perfect for our multifamily group and really felt like we were in Maine. The house is in a quiet area with lots of woods and away from any crowds, but easy to get to the activities and places we wanted to visit. It was the perfect balance of the what we wanted for our Maine trip. It was family friendly, spacious, clean, and comfortable. Would definitely stay there again on our next trip.

I love the island but thankful that my place is on the quieter side. You are right that it's still convenient and there is plenty to do in the neighborhood (tours and trails). Glad the house met your multifamily group and your trip to Maine was what you hoped it would be. Look forward to you coming back!
