Property was great - just what we needed for a home base. Very clean with many amenities. Having laundry available was wonderful! Amy was very responsive to questions. We spent much of our time at Acadia and this property made that a quick and easy drive to both Mount Desert Island and Schoodic Peninsula.

Acadia visit

Cozy, private house to stay in, plenty of room for a family of 5, great for Acadia. Small town near restaurants (about 15 minutes), and also very close to Tidal Falls (a hidden gym). Kids loved the swing out front and the wildlife.

Fantastic stay - well appointed property!

Recently stayed at Amy’s Gull House and we had a great time. Had all the comforts of home and very accessible to the beach and a family reunion we had in nearby Lamoine. Amy was very responsive and would definitely stay again!

Excellent Vrbo experience

This was a clean, peaceful, comfortable house that I would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends. It was nice having the pamphlets for area attractions and the guest journal so we could see what previous guests recommended in the area.

Great house on a quiet street

We spent 4 nights here for our trip to Acadia National park. It was perfectly located between the main part of Acadia on Mount Desert Island and the Schoodic Peninsula part of Acadia. Check-in was a breeze the house was super clean and comfortable. The kids enjoyed hanging out in the yard playing on the swing or lounging in the hammock. As a bonus, Tidal Falls is right down the street where the kids loved hanging out searching for crabs and sea stars every evening at low tide

Great stay at Amy's house

We enjoyed our stay in Amy's house. Everything in the house was nice, clean and new. We stayed for few nights and did not have any problem at all. The house is very well equipped with all that a visiting family may need. The owners are very friendly and provided all information and instructions we needed. Overall, I can highly recommend this place.

Beautiful cottage in great location!

Lovely, updated two-bedroom house in a beautiful setting! Situated half-way between two Acadia National Park destinations - the more popular (and more crowded) Mt Desert Island/Bar Harbor and the beautiful (less crowded) Schoodic Peninsula. The house was clean and well-cared for with newer appliances and the convenience of a washer and dryer. Check-in and out was simple and Amy made herself available but we had absolutely no issues during our stay. Would definitely stay again!

Awesome Rental

This little gem of a rental was perfect. Great location for visiting the area as it’s on a very quiet street set back in the trees. Seen deer and turkeys in the backyard. Away from the very busy Bar Harbor area. 45 min. to Acadia. Has everything you need and air conditioning worked great. Nice seating area outside. Very much enjoyed our stay.

We had the best stay at The Gull House! Check in was super easy, the house had everything we needed and we were very comfortable for the entirety of our stay. I appreciated the extra touches…like the Keurig and assortment of k-cups! The house is in a super quiet neighborhood, it felt very peaceful and serene. We discovered that there were a few turkeys the first morning we were there and loved looking for them as we had our coffee each morning after that. Tidal falls is absolutely beautiful and such a bonus that the house is within walking distance. The house is situated perfectly between MDI and the Schoodic peninsula…we visited both areas of Acadia and thought the proximity between the 2 made for an easy trip to either. Thank you Amy for providing everything we needed for a wonderful family vacation in Acadia!
