  Great home! We enjoyed ourselves immensly. Quiet, well appointed property with 4 comfy sleeping rooms and open kitchen and deck that backs up to the forest. Close to Eagle Lake and all Park locations. There is even a trail out the back of the property that we walked a number of times. We are considering coming back next year and bringing our parents. Thank you for a great stay.

  Owner response: Thank you for your feedback... whether positive or negative we try our best to make any necessary changes to our home to make your stay the best that it can be... sometimes we succeed and sometimes we don't, but we certainly try our best to be there when you have a need.

  This was our first visit to Bar Harbor with our family and we enjoyed the area as well as our stay at this home. What a beautiful location as we were truly one with nature as we had acres of land to run around on so it was just great for the kids.. the home was near our favorite park entrances Cadillac and Eagle lake which we went to every day... the kitchen was comfortable and had everything we needed. With a den and a living room we were able to sit in the living room and read a book and leave the kids to watch TV. We have already contacted the owner to return next year.

  We loved visiting Bar Harbor and had a beautiful week.  It is a great place for families to enjoy the outdoors.  There was plenty of room for our family of 7.  We were a bit disappointed in the home we chose because it was dated and run down.  The communication in and out of the house was difficult for 2 reasons. First the WIFI did not work and even when we called the owner it was not able to be resolved while we were there...Since there was no cell phone reception using the landline was necessary. The kitchen phone was difficult to hear because of excessive static.    It was 4 days until they could come to resolve the WIFI problem.  We were on vacation and did not want to deal with waiting for them to arrive, so we went without WIFI for the week.  This made it difficult when we couldn't check flight status and updated information about the Bar Harbor area. Since there was no cell phone connection,  the kitchen phone should have been updated.

  Owner response: I always enjoy reading our visitors responses as it always help us improve our homes. We want to make everyone's stay as pleasant as possible and for the most part we succeed. The following are responses to the critique of Acadia Woods. Acadia Woods is only 8 years old and everything in the home was brand new at the time. Every year we upgrade whatever we feel needs upgrading. This past year we put ceiling fans in all of the rooms and upgraded 2 bedrooms with curtains, quilts and linens. The entire home was repainted internally 5 years ago with satin paint for easy washing if there are any marks on the wall.. The home has not one scuff mark, stain on any of the walls..... New washer and dryer was put in this year. The master bath was upgraded 3 years ago. The deck was re-done last year. The pictures of the home are also upgraded every year. So for the most part whatever you see in the picture is the exact way the home will look upon entering. Bar Harbor is also an area where cell phone use varies from end of the block to the next so signals fade in and out. As a hands on owner I pride myself in making changes quickly when there is a need. The phone was replaced this year in the kitchen and unfortunately there continues to be static on the line. Fairpoint is working on the problem as it's not the phone. We never heard anything about the phone being a problem. WIFI - Sometimes we hear from a tenant once, notify the utility or repair company, provide the tenant with the information and if we don't hear back from the tenant we assume the problem was corrected. If there continues to be a problem we assume the tenant will call us. We never heard back from this tenant. We found out that there continued to be a problem from the next tenant... we worked with the tenant and Fairpoint and WIFI was corrected immediately. Seems the problem was related to the carrier turning off WIFI for whatever reason.. so the call to fairpoint corrected the problem.

  This was our first trip to Bar Harbor. We couldn’t have asked for a better house to stay in. It is very clean, comfortable and quit. The house had all the amenities we needed. My family especially liked the easy access to Bar Harbor and to the Park. We are planning to return in 2012.

  Owner response: We are very happy that the family enjoyed their stay at Acadia Woods and Bar Harbor and most importantly we look forward to having you stay with us again in 2012. We do our best to make sure our houses are the best they can be for all of our tenants.

  we rented this house for the first time ,even though we have been to Bar Harbor the last 5 years ,the pictures don't do the house justice,it is beautiful and ,inviting, plenty of things in the house ,kitchen was well stocked and we all had a wonderful time ,my only concern was no cell phone service until we were a mile and 1/2 from the house ,other than that our vacation was the best , a great house to rent and it is on the top of our list for future trips to Bar Harbor!!! we highly recommend staying here !

  Owner response: Since I have been involved in opening my home to families I wanted to make sure that they have everything they need to enjoy their vacation. We enjoy providing "everything" and then some. I tell my visitors only bring the family and your luggage and we will provide everything else. We are very thankful for the guests who chose our homes and we want them to have a great time.
