Everything was very nice….the kitchen extremely well equipped. Location is excellent. Close to town without the crowd. My only reservation was the laundry. Guests are asked to start a load of their sheets. I thought rentals had strict requirements (especially since COVID) regarding the temperature the sheets are to be washed. The washer was set on cold when we got there. Although, I have to say, the beds and pillows were extremely comfortable.If we come back to Acadia we would stay here again.l

This house was awesome. It was spacious with a big kitchen and cooking materials. The grill was a huge plus, we used it three nights. The beds were comfortable and the laundry was such a great help for the week. It was super close to Bar Harbor and Acadia, and the woods behind the house were peaceful and full of birds. We stayed here for 6 days and it was fully worth it!

The host Janice allowed us access to the house two hours early. The house was just as described. Two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a large living room and full kitchen. Plenty of room for vehicles, shared driveway with other homes. Several minutes from any place on Desert Island. There is a washer and dryer in the basement, but watch your head on the stairs.

Good central location to explore both sides of Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. House had plenty of room and all supplies we needed. A nice quiet place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor.

Great stay

This was our second time staying in Janice's house. It is spacious, clean and comfortable, and Janice is a great host. The location is perfect for getting to the Hulls Cove Visitor Center for hiking and Bar Harbor for shopping and dining. I hope we'll be able to return for a third visit!

Cozy, comfortable, and clean house nicely located to get to any destination on Mount Desert Island. Host made things convenient and easy for check-in. Any items we felt we needed were provided (dish soap, sponge, towels, tp, etc). I would certainly choose to stay again for any follow up trip to Maine.
