We had a very nice time staying here. Everything was very clean and spacious. Great location for food and attractions. We will definitely be coming back.
We had a great stay here! It is large, clean, and very comfortable. Location near Southwest Harbor is great for those wishing for a quieter retreat. The town has everything you need (restaurants, lobster pier, cute shops, ice cream, groceries) without the tourist crowds. Hosts were helpful with all our questions!
This is a stunning specious house surrounded by a forest. The hosts thought of every little detail in this house, including books and games. More than recommended!
We especially loved the beautiful outdoor space in back where we spent our early morning hours enjoying some coffee and quiet time with the birds and squirrels! The house was lovely, and beds luxuriously comfy. Highly recommend this property!
This house was perfect for our family trip to Acadia. The set up worked really well and it was both secluded and convenient to all that the park has to offer. Highly recommend.

We are so glad to hear you all enjoyed your stay. Welcome back anytime!
Every previous review of this property is 100% accurate. Lovely home in a quiet neighborhood and super accommodating hosts. We loved everything about the property and the area.
Our group very much enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and well-kept, and there is plenty of room inside and outside (including a large back deck and yard) for a small or large group to relax. The hosts Sarah and Paul were warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this property and would happily stay again on our next visit to Mt. Desert Island.
The house was very roomy and comfortable. Lots of space for everyone. Having a bathroom in each bedroom is a benefit. Great access to all of Mt. Desert Island.
My husband and I spent an idyllic few days at this immaculate and roomy home. We agreed that it's one of the best rentals we've experienced. The house had absolutely everything we needed and the decor was lovely. Sarah and Paul could not have been kinder or more responsive. We'd love to stay here again.
Lovely lovely home - very spacious, clean and relaxing with all the amenities you may need. About 20-30 min very scenic drive to some areas of Acadia and the town of Bar Harbor, and 10-15 min scenic drive to the south west side of Acadia and the town/restaurants of Southwest Harbor. Sarah and Paul are excellent hosts and we would highly recommend this rental! (And dog friendly too!)

About the host
Hosted by Paul and Sarah Lunsford
My husband and I moved to the area in 2015 due to job relocation and absolutely fell in love with the area. We enjoy opening our home to people from all over the world to allow others to experience the true beauty that Mount Desert Island has to offer.
Why they chose this property
Our home is located on what locals call "The Quietside"--not in the hustle bustle of Bar Harbor tourism but just a short drive away. It's close to various access points to Acadia National Park such as Long Pond (1 mile away), Echo Lake (short 3 minute drive), Bass Harbor Head Light House and Seawall, to name a few. The town of Southwest Harbor also has many restaurants and some cute little shops. After a long day of adventure and/or shopping that the Island has to offer, it's lovely to come home to a calm, relaxing environment and sit in the sun room with a cup of coffee to enjoy the wild life in the back yard.
What makes this property unique
We provide guests with linens, towels, fully equipped kitchen, laundry detergent, coffee, and tea to name a few.
