About this property

Home with deck, great location in the heart of Acadia National Park

Find a bright, airy retreat in the midst of Acadia National Park at this 3-bedroom Mount Desert home, a family-friendly escape with a sunny deck and an outstanding location for hikers, kayakers, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts!

You'll find this home in the small community of Otter Creek, which is bordered on all sides by Acadia's serene landscapes. Get up before dawn to catch the sunrise on the Cadillac Mountain South Ridge Trail down the road, hop on the nearby Park Loop Road to see Acadia's highlights, and sit down for a wonderful dinner or two in downtown Bar Harbor five miles north.

The living space was seemingly designed for a family, offering casual, comfortable furnishings, and free WiFi. Begin each morning with coffee and breakfast in the kitchen (with a dishwasher), and spend the day hiking the Ocean Path or whale-watching off the coast. Come home to enjoy dinner on the deck, and retire inside for a night of board games and movies on the two flatscreen TVs.

Come and discover one of Maine's most majestic landscapes!

Great Place in an excellent location.

This place has the best value for money given its location! We had a wonderful stay. However, 2 bathrooms for a 11 people was the only shortcoming could think of about this place but other than that we had a great time!

Weekend Getaway!

Good big property for a family vacation! Peaceful and quiet atmosphere. Good price for the area. Be aware, there is only 4 private bedrooms, 2 are in the basement and you need to run dehumidifiers and empty constantly.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, we are glad you enjoyed our lovely home. We apologize for any inconvenience the dehumidifiers were to you. However, they are necessary. We hope to host you for another truly carefree and great vacation in the future! Thank you!

Great Location

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and looking forward to staying here whenever we’re back in Bar Harbor! The house is a great location - it’s has great privacy while being just a few minutes to Bar Harbor for shopping and restaurants and to Acadia for sight seeing and hiking trails. The house was well stocked with ample sets of towels, shampoo conditioner and wash, kitchen supplies, and board games / entertainment. Was spacious enough for 5 adults and clean.

Awesome Location

This property is located very near an entrance to Acadia National Park. We were able to easily access the park loop road, and get right to attractions like Cadillac Mountain, Thunder hole, and Sand Beach. The deck is great, comes equipped with a grill, and could easily accommodate a large group.
