Enjoyed our stay here immensely

I love this house! It was very clean, the location is beautiful, the decor and the rugs are amazing. The rooms and the furniture are so accommodating for a comfortable stay. In the evenings after sightseeing all day, we had so much fun playing games in the basement or cards at the kitchen table. We greatly appreciate that there were ample supplies of all the necessities. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

cozy maine house

I loved how homey the house was! We had so much fun relaxing and playing ping pong and watching VHS tapes after a long day of hiking in Acadia and touring around the area. The house is on a quiet road and is an easy drive to the Maine road, which we were able to take to Acadia and Campo Bello Island (our two big trips).

A great place to get away for sure! The place was real clean, cozy, and comfortable. The ping-pong table, dartboard and downstairs area was a great place to hang out. It was nice to get back to watching movies at night and playing games with the family. Look forward to staying again!

Nice home base for Acadia park region

Nice quiet north woods property within an hours drive of Acadia national park and surroundings. Comfortable family rooms, kitchens and beds. No wifi or live tv if you need that but cell service was adequate for most needs. Good place to disconnect from the grid for awhile and enjoy this part of Maine.

Will not rent here again, need to check out all appliances.

Our stay here was not fully what we expected. The location was definitely too far from Acadia and Bar Harbor. It is a nice country setting but you have to drive an hour to hike Acadia and see Bar Harbor, not 30 minutes. The basement game room was a nice feature. My biggest complaint is that it was hot during our stay, there is NO AC and the one ceiling fan in the living room was not working!! This made for a very uncomfortable stay. Then our code for the house stopped working, they did help us promptly with getting access to the house. I requested to check out just an hour later, and they didn’t allow it. So not happy with the customer service to at least try to compensate for the fact that we had no ceiling fan to move the air around. One more inconvenience was the newer coffee makers on the counter did not work. Please check all appliances before renting this property so that what you advertise is actually functional.

Clean House

Do not have enough room to write everything that was wrong. In a brief, house was clean. Things that were wrong, broken knob on only window ac unit in the kitchen could not turn off could only unplug, microwave turn table does not go around and makes a loud humming noise, dryer broken (we were there 8 days on the next to last day the sent someone to fix it.), lots of large black ants, bi-fold doors to laundry area do not stay in track, window track does not hold window open in bedroom, screen old on different window and ripped out same bedroom , chair fell through deck/porch never sent anyone to fix it, luckily no broken bones for the older gentleman was only bruised up, TV could not get any channels, DVD player broken, no grill, no fire pit ring had to asked for that neighbor brought one over or got it from somewhere, ground fault breaker for coffee maker keeps tripping, the screen door to screened in porch it rotting away needs to be replaced, coffee maker did not produce hot coffee found a different one coffee was a little hotter. Exterior appearance from add to actual, exterior needs to be power washed, landscaping needs some TLC and fenced back yard for pet needs a lot more trimming up and dog house needs to be cleaned and presentable. They did bring a 20’ retractable clothes line and pins (not long enough could only do eight T-Shirts) Exterminator showed up day after we arrived to spray for ants unannounced. Not happy with this Vrbo - Vacasa.
