Wonderful house for our family of four visiting Bar Harbor / Acadia for the first time. The house was clean, well kept, and the check in process was hassle free. Location is terrific … convenient to both Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor. The views from inside and outside were beautiful … enjoyed watching the sunset shimmering off the water each night to close our day.

Nature lovers paradise! Loved the double sunrooms. Used them everyday to spot wildlife. Harbor seal, ducks and foxes come to the cove daily. Red foxes early in morning run through the yard. Harbor seal and ducks all day eating in the cove. Chipmunk came up to us while sitting in the chairs overlooking the water. Beach access was used daily to explore the rocky beach and walk in the cold water. Bring binoculars - you will need them if you take a wildlife cruise in town. House very clean and comfortable and I am picky. Host accommodated extra days that I added mid stay because we didn’t want to leave and gave a discount! BBQ pit works well. My family of 3 will stay here again when we come back to Maine. The house can accommodate many more people as the couches in sunrooms are also beds.

We could not say enough great things about this stay! It was the perfect home base for us to explore Acadia National Park. We enjoyed bonfires by the water, played games around the table, and had amazing views from the large windows. We had 5 adults and there was more than enough room for everyone! It was decorated so cute. Had everything we needed and more! Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Really nice house in a great location. I’ve stayed in a bunch of places around MDI and this ranks as one of the best. The yard and views are fantastic, the house had everything we could have wanted, and access to both the park and town were super easy.

This vacation house was the perfect spot for our trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The location made it easy to explore both the park and downtown, while still feeling peaceful and quiet. The home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We especially appreciated the outside seating area overlooking the water, it made for beautiful sunset views! The host was responsive and made the whole process smooth. We’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
