Great location

The home is in a great location, close to everything. Its small, but just enough for the 3 of us. The only bad thing i can say about the house is the musty smell. Noticed it every time we can back from our excursions.

Great Location, comfortable , everything you need for a short stay

This house is located within ten minutes of Bar Harbor /Acadia. It is well equipped with all you need for a week long stay. It was very clean when we arrived and provided all you need to maintain that. Checkin and check out was easy. Although we didn’t need it communication with the owner was available . We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Bar Harbor Retreat: Peaceful, Pristine, and Well-Located

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The property exceeded our expectations in every way. The home was immaculately clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect—tucked away in a quiet, scenic area, yet just a short drive to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The outdoor space was a true highlight, with a lovely deck and peaceful surroundings that made it easy to relax and enjoy the beauty of Maine. We appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the home, from the cozy furnishings to the well-stocked kitchen. The host was responsive and made the check-in and check-out process seamless. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing getaway in Bar Harbor. We can't wait to return!

Annual MDI Trip

Janice‘s house was exactly as described. It is a very good location to get to the hiking trails on the busy and the quiet side of Acadia. We had plenty of room for the two of us and our two dogs. The kitchen is well stocked and there are plenty of fans and the living room and two of the bedrooms have some kind of AC system on the wall. It was perfect to keep the place comfortable. We already booked our time for next year.

Dated, but affordable.

Booked this property as a last minute stay and it suited our needs. It was right on Mt Desert Island, minutes from Acadia, and was affordable for our family of five. You do get what you pay for though. The property was dated and things were run down. Incredibly damp inside - towels and clothes didn’t dry overnight - a dehumidifier would be a benefit if installed. Overall, we were happy with the price and location, but feel the rental could use some TLC. You could find everything you need in the kitchen to boil some lobsters though, so that’s a big plus!

Centrally located.

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was clean and comfortable. We didn't spend much time outside at the house because the mosquitos were bad. The only down side was there must have been someone that rented that had a dog or cat because I am allergic to both and there was a lot of hair on the sofa and I ended up getting stuffy and itchy eyes so I vacuumed the sofa so I was able to sit there. I would rent again. It was close to Acadia national park and about 11 miles from downtown Bar Harbor.

Should be condemned

Ruined our vacation. House should be condemned and the owner should not be in the rental business. House smelled of mold and urine, bathroom had mold, sheets on the bed and the mattress under them smelled horrible. We reserved the house for 4 nights as my wife and son were joining my daughter and myself on MDI for a few days. I was already up there with my daughter staying with my extended family. Since we have dogs we needed to get our own place. I showed up with my daughter on Wednesday to get the keys and pay for the place (cash at the insistence of the owner). Upon opening the house, I was overwhelmed with the smell, although the house itself appeared to be clean. Were it not for the circumstances of our dogs I would have simply refused the house but we had no choice. While the owner was there we opened every window in the place. My wife and son ended up not coming up Wednesday night so my daughter and I stayed one more night at my folk's timeshare. The next day I went back and after 24 hours the house smelled marginally better. I then pulled back the bed sheets only to discover they smelled horribly. I then stripped the beds and washed the sheets. I informed the owner of that and that the wifi was not working (neither was the cable). Trying not to be too confrontational when she came over she offered to let us use another house that would be available the next day or offered us a full refund. Again not trying to be a problem I said if the other place doesn't smell and is cleaner...great. By this point my wife and son were there so we had to stay the night. We froze with all the windows open and slept on the air mattress we brought to the timeshare. My son fell off of the deck which is falling apart as is. The next afternoon we were informed by email that the other place was now not available. Thats when it got ugly. The owner renegaded on her offer of a full refund. And charged us for two nights all the tax we paid, leaving us with no options other than to go home of find somewhere to keep the dogs and all sleep on an air mattress in an overcrowded timeshare. Suffice to say I am beyond infuriated at how we were mislead and that we paid a 250 dollars to drive 5 hours and wash someone else's sheets. Horrible place and horrible people. I informed the town chamber of commerce, building inspector and had the police present when trying to resolve this issue. Avoid at all costs.

Acadia National Park Vacation for the whole family

This rental is within a 20 minute drive to the Park Loop Road (Cadillac Mountain, carriage roads, bubble rock, Jordan pond) and a 20 minute drive to Ellsworth, Maine ( grocery stores and additional restaurants and shopping). The house is spacious with windows that open ( great window screens) and electric fans. The couch is very comfortable with two recliners on either end of it. The kitchen has a gas stove and oven and an electric microwave. Both bathrooms and kitchen are sparkling clean. There‘s also a lovely wrap around porch with rocking chairs. It‘s a safe location on a little cul-de-sac. It‘s only a 15 min. drive to the visitors center. Bar Harbor is another fun destination that‘s only 20 min. away.

Cute little house

Positives: Overall was a great little house and suited our needs. Very convenient location, private and away from road. Easy drive to Acadia, Bar Harbor and other destinations. Comfortable beds, and kitchen was nicely equipped. WiFi and cable TV worked great. Wrap around porch was awesome for bbq and sitting outside and star watching at night. Having 2 bathrooms was a definite plus. All 3 bedrooms have full closet space which was great. Laundry was wonderfully located on the hall between all rooms. Cons: couch needs some updating and carpeting could stand to go. Overall I would stay again, and was very happy with the house.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I spent many summers here until we decided to move here in 1989. We love Acadia National Park and the towns on MDI. (And fresh lobster of course). Spend your vacation at our rental property and I'm sure you'll fall in love with Maine too!
