The house was perfect for our needs. The location was great—away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor yet close enough proximity to everything. We enjoyed the small town feel and getting to know some of the locals during our walks to to nearby restaurants and shops. We loved sitting outside with the hummingbirds and enjoying the garden.
Great property and responsive host. Though the property was renovated several years ago, it feels brand new. Beautiful home, well stocked, and lots of thoughtful touches. Mrs. Meyers hand soap in the kitchen and bathrooms, dove soap for all the showers, extra towels, gift card at the local wine and cheese store. We had a little trouble with a leaking wall ac unit in one of the bedrooms. Fortunately the weather was lovely and we didn’t need to use the unit. Walking distance to multiple coffee shops and restaurants. Highly recommend happy hour and dinner at vacation land coffee roasters. Delicious food by Chef Mike and tasty beverages.
