We loved our stay! The house has been recently updated and everything seemed fresh and new. The beds are comfy and the owners were very thoughtful in making sure they have everything a guest could need. The owners sent us great hiking, restaurant and shopping recommendations.
We loved our stay. It was a perfect home-base for our Acadia vacation. Jenn and Soren were wonderful hosts with good communication and their attention to detail in the home made us feel welcomed and comfortable immediately. The house is clean and beautifully decorated. We would definitely stay again!
The house had so much character and was in a great location for exploring the area. It is apparent that Jenn and Soren have put a lot of love and thought into this property and have thought of everything that guests might need. We had a wonderful and comfortable stay!
Convenient location close to everything including parks, stores and EV charging station. Nice surroundings, clean rooms with modern facilities. Very responsive and informative hosts! Highly recommend for staying here to explore the Acadia area!
House was very clean, and has everything anyone would need. The host was very helpful and made the check in progress very easy. House is in a great location. Close to lots of outdoor activities and shopping. Would definitely stay there again.
Jenn and Soren present an excellent property close to many excursions. My husband and our adult daughters have fallen in love with Maine! The property was immaculate and felt like home! We would stay again on a return trip!
This place was wonderful. We were visiting Maine for Acadia National Park. Perfect accommodations and access to everything. Absolutely loved the big bright windows with natural light. There were 5 of us in total and it worked well for a girls trip. 2 moms with young adult daughters and their friend. Loved sitting on the porch drinking coffee.
Beautiful and comfortable accommodations. Extremely clean . Very impressed by renovations done to the original building . Perfect location for exploring Acadia .
What a wonderful hidden gem! At first, we weren’t sure about renting a home away from Bar Harbor's hustle and bustle, but now we’re hooked. Surrounded by nature, this property offered a peaceful retreat from our hectic, fast-paced visit to Mount Desert Island, Acadia National Park, and Bar Harbor. It's just a short drive to multiple stores, including Walmart, Shaw’s, and Hannaford. Schoodic Point, which is gorgeous, is even closer.Now, about the house: it was immaculately clean and incredibly well stocked with everything we could possibly need, including a tea kettle, Keurig, high-end appliances, bath gel, shampoo and conditioner, high-quality towels, and a washer and dryer with laundry detergent. The home also has satellite TV, very fast Wi-Fi, and a sweet little office for anyone who needs to work.Upstairs, both bedrooms have air conditioning, comfortable beds, plenty of room to stretch out, and TVs. Downstairs, the home features a spacious modern bathroom, a dining area with a large table and chairs, and a lovely kitchen equipped with everything we could ask for in a rental.Despite our initial hesitation, we’ve found our new home for future visits to the region. It truly felt like a home away from home—and, in many ways, was even more relaxing. Having everything we needed at our fingertips took the stress off our shoulders. To top it all off, Jenn and Soren were excellent communicators throughout our stay, We couldn't recommend this rental more highly.
We had a great stay. Nicely updated and very comfortable. Easy access to Acadia National Park. Great communications with the owners. Would definitely stay again.
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. It was clean, comfortable, and well stocked and a perfect place to relax after spending the day exploring Acadia and Bar Harbor. Jenn and Soren were great hosts and we appreciated all their helpful tips and recommendations.
We had a great time and Jenn and Soren are wonderful hosts. The home is very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It was very peaceful and private after our outings we would sit on the covered porch. We would stay here again.
