Perfect stay for Acadia National Park visit!

This property was in excellent condition, extremely clean, and perfect for a family, especially with children. My 2 year old daughter loved The kids room with all the toys. Someone has spent a lot of time decorating the place sooo nicely. The kids room is magnificent with pictures on the walls geared to kids, bunk beds, table and chairs, a tv area, and lots of very nice toys. The location was in the cute little town of Southwest Harbor that has restaurants, shops, coffee shops, and a grocery store. It’s only a 25 minute drive to the visitors center at Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. It’s only down the road from parts of Acadia National Park! Loved loved loved this house with a wonderful history!
