My mom and I had a great stay at Kathy's place. It was easy to get to different points in Acadia and we appreciated the quiet location nestled in the woods. Kathy was quick to respond and provided lots of information about nearby restaurants and things to do in the area. Both Kathy and her place were a real gem!

Our host was wonderfully communicative in advance of, and during our stay.The house is centrally located for easy travel around Mt Desert Island while still feeling private and secluded.We saw deer and wild turkeys in the woods around the house, and the home was very well appointed with everything we needed to make it feel like home away from home.

House had everything we needed. Plenty of kitchen essentials, towels and hangers in the closets. Perfect location to explore Acadia and the quiet side of the island. The lakes were great for kayaking. Every place we chose for dinner were delicious. Host was always responsive to text messages. Great place to visit. Don’t miss out booking Eden House.

Everything for a family juggling two littles could need! Our 4 yr old loved all the games, puzzles, and books. The parents appreciated the easy single floor layout of the main living spaces, laundry, high chair, quiet and private neighborhood, and a kitchen with everything needed to cook a meal easily. Location is great for accessing the NP park from different entrances and great food options around with a playground right up the street. 10/10, no notes.

Wonderful stay in a charming home!

We loved our stay! Kathy was so responsive and the house had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, check in was a breeze, and everything was clean. It was also in a great location that made it easy to get to any place we needed, the shuttle stop is close by, and it’s away from the crazy busy Bar Harbor area. We would definitely stay again!

Such a great little house, very private and you felt like you were in the forest, so quiet and relaxing and still close to everything. Very clean and the kitchen and bath well equipped. My husband and I loved it and hope to go back for another stay!

Great place to stay!

Kathy’s house was a gem on Mt Desert Island, tucked away from the crowds, yet close to Bar Harbor and the park. The house was well stocked with amenities, basically everything you need for your stay with a bonus of frozen Maine blueberries, pancake mix, butter and syrup to prepare a delicious pancake breakfast the first morning. Highly recommended for your visit in the area.

Acadia home base

We had a wonderful time staying here as our home base while exploring Acadia with our kids. We appreciated the quieter pace away from Bar Harbor while still being able to easily get to all hikes and restaurants in town. Great recommendations from the hosts, property exactly as described, well stocked kitchen, easy communication — would recommend across the board!

Great location for Acadia visit!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Everything was as described (or better). You can't beat the location for exploring Acadia and other areas on Mount Desert Island. The kids really loved the setting of the house in the woods with the mossy surroundings. If we are ever in the area again, we would definitely stay here again!
