Beautiful, clean, comfortable and close to Acadia. We wanted a spot on the quiet side of the park to retreat to each afternoon and this was perfect. The house had everything we needed to cook and relax after long mornings of hiking. The yard was perfect for viewing the sunrise and the stars at night. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

We had a fantastic stay the week between Christmas and New Years. The location is perfect for day trips into the heart of Acadia or a quick trip to Seawall Beach to view the sunset. The host provided books, games, and puzzles for every age. We could also sit back with a fire in the fireplace, a view of the sound, and deer wandering by. We would definitely stay here again.

We could not have asked for a better place to stay while visiting Acadia National Park. The house was lovely, clean, well equipped, furnished nicely and conveniently located. Loved being able to walk down to the water, watching deer grazing around the yard, and winding down by the fire after a fun day of exploring.

We had a great stay. Owners have made upgrades to kitchen and baths. It was well-equipped and clean. The location is terrific: quiet with ocean/beach access down the private lane and close enough to town to put food, ice cream and shops in easy reach. The sunrise was perfect.

Nice quiet place close to Acadia NP

My family and I enjoyed our stay here while we visited Acadia NP. It was far enough away from the crazy busy main park area but close enough to get there quickly and easily when we wanted to do so.

Host profile image
Our family purchased this home last June with great excitement. It is the neighboring property to our home and our plan from the start was to fix it up and rent it seasonally. We have done just that and are looking forward to the upcoming summer to have people enjoy this beautiful part of the world in a very comfortable and peaceful setting.
