Great location, close to everything. Very clean, owners very accessible and helpful. My wife and I plus 3 teenage kids had a great time and would definitely come back!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! The location was perfect for going to Acadia National Park. The kitchen was very well equipped. If we’re ever back in the area, we hope to stay here again.
Great stay in a very nice house with a great island location. We really felt the hospitality of the host family and a lot of care was taken in making this house comfortable. Well stocked with linens, kitchen items, overall a very thoughtfully set up home. Would stay again and highly recommend.
The house is so well stocked it feels like home. The owners were very communicative and we enjoyed our stay at Acadia so much. Will be happy to return.
Cozy little place tucked away in the woods but a short 10-15 minute drive from pretty much anything. The place was clean and had everything we could ask for, the owners were very responsive and willing to work with us when our trip situation changed.
We really enjoyed our stay. The location made it easy to access all parts of the island for hikes and sight seeing with a comfortable place to return to.
House was beautiful! House had everything we needed and more! Very clean and up to date! Owners were great to deal with. We saw that there was only an AC in the primary bedroom so we took along small fans, which worked great! Would love to stay there again!
The central location made getting to any sections of the park on MDI a breeze. Being set back into the woods while also close enough to walk to a playground and a few other little amenities was a nice bonus for our young family! Add in the well-equipped kitchen and overall cozy property and I can't imagine a better place to stay for our daughters' first National Park experience!

Thank you for the great review! Please come back anytime!
This was a wonderful property for us in terms of the privacy but not too far from everything.The beautiful outdoor deck with the table top fire pit which we used every night, the closeness to the park and to Bar Harbor, and a very well-stocked home that you needed nothing. Additionally, we text the owners on two occasions and they got back to us immediately. I would highly recommend staying here and I want to thank them for sharing their home with us. We found it to be a privilege to stay there. Definitely would stay there again.

Very good location close to the park and harbor
The house itself was very neat and provided many of the necessary provisions for a comfortable stay. Would stay again in future trips to Mt Desert island.
Had everything we needed and more. Great location for getting anywhere on the island.

Our home is located on Route 102 off the main highway in a wooded lot. We have a wrap around front porch and deck with lots of seating to enjoy the quiet of the evenings or coffee in the morning.
