Vacation Rentals by Owner

Wonderful Suite

Date of Stay: 08/06/11 Review Submitted: 08/16/11

A vacation suite with all the amenities of home, except it’s immaculately clean when you arrive, and somebody else will clean it again after you leave. Comes with a fully equipped kitchen, wireless internet access, 2 mountain bikes (with helmets), outdoor grill and lobster pot, even actual live hummingbirds that like to visit the feeder conveniently hung outside the kitchen window. Excellent location, within minutes of Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, lots of restaurants, and the best lobster pound in Maine. Your hosts, Donna and Kevin, are around, but only if you need assistance, advice, or help with making a reservation; otherwise, you enjoy complete, blissful privacy.

Recommended for:Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

A Wonderful Week

My husband and I were very pleased with Hummingbird Suite. Every detail to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable was available. I felt at home as soon as we arrived at the clean and well-maintained suite. The owners provided several local movies about the island and numerous informative pamphlets and enjoyable books. The bed was very comfortable and we loved the atmosphere of the open living area with it's large window. Accessibility to the yard with bird feeders and of course the garden planted with flowers to attract hummingbirds was a bonus. We enjoyed spending time there. I highly recommend staying here. Everything listed regarding the property; location, photos, description is accurate. The owners were friendly, helpful and available if needed. You will certainly enjoy your visit.

My husband and I plus our two young adult sons stayed here in late June. We're bargain-hunter travelers--my husband calls it "indoor camping." Hummingbird Suites is by far the best "deal" we've ever had. It was beautiful, immaculately clean, well-equipped, and roomy enough to feel very comfortable for the four days we stayed here. We loved having fresh eggs from the owner's chickens for breakfast every day. Two bikes (and a bike rack!) were available to use. The only drawback (which was not a problem for us) is that the house is very close to the road that goes into Bar Harbor so you hear some road noise. We all loved staying here and will definitely recommend it to friends and family!

We stayed in the Hummingbird Suite for the Memorial Day weekend. We were very impressed the moment we walked into the suite. It was sparkling clean, bright and nicely decorated. It has everything we need. We particularly enjoyed the hospitality of Donna and Kevin. They were very thoughtful to make the arrangement for our 7 month old baby so he can sleep and eat comfortably. We couldn't thank them enough. I would highly recommend the place when you visit Acadia. It's convenient, comfortable and very well equipped than even a five-star hotel. A best-kept secret in town.

Kevin & Donna: Just wanted to say thanks for such wonderful accommodations during our stay in Bar Harbor(9/02/06-9/9/06). It was all we expected and more. You both thought of everything you would need for a home away from home. From fresh flowers, to the eggs and tomatoes and of course the candy, it was a great place for our vacation. The trail guides, bike path guide and the travel guide to the other side of the island were very handy in our travels. . We had such a great time . When we return to Bar Harbor we don't need to research where we will stay, it will be The Hummingbird Suite. P.S. The wireless is great......

My husband and I stayed in the Chickadee Suite for a week and we were just enamored with this place! The proprietors have thought of every single detail to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I felt like I was staying at home and it was warm and inviting. Sharing a glass of wine by their gardens at the end of a busy day was sublime! They have provided every amenity one would desire and are accommodating with all requests. My husband and I are well traveled for sure, but this was the best place we have ever stayed. I'm sure we'll make a habit of returning to the Hummingbird Suites. We would opt for these Suites over any of the over-priced hotel rooms in town any day!

This is simply the best place to stay for a family. It is clean, cozy, and convenient. The rooms are surrounded by beautiful vegetable and flower gardens. Kids can watch their chickens in the back yard, or see all kind of birds in the gardens. After hiking in the Acadia mountain trails, you can cook a good dinner in the super clean kitchen, or boil lobster in the outdoor pot, or have a BBQ, all provided by the owner. I feel this is the most comfortable place to stay for a vacation. I will always stay in this place whenever I go to Acadia Park. Jay & Mary, Somerset, New Jersey

An impromptu visit to Acadia to hike for a couple of days and a place to stay where we could make a cup of tea was all we were looking for. We found it and more at Hummingbird Suites! All the comforts of home, plus! Fresh eggs for breakfast and at Donna's suggestion, an afternoon visit to Morninglories for macaroons. We don't know how Donna and Kevin managed it but out of week of rain the sun was shining on the two days we planned to hike!

We rented the beautiful Hummingbird Suite for 5 days in July and had a fantastic time. Donna and Kevin have created a warm, beautiful, private suite for guests and made us feel like family. Donna has wonderful suggestions for things to do and places to eat. They have truly thought of every need of the traveler and will definitely be back very soon. Thanks again Donna and Kevin!

We stayed in Hummingbird Suites last July for one week and we had a fabulous time. Acadia and Bar Harbor were great and Donna was an incredible hostess. We have already made reservations for July 2005.

I've visited Bar Harbor a number of times and stayed in various places, but nothing compares to the comfort and convenience of the Hummingbird Suite. Everything was provided to make our stay delightful. The immaculate accommodations, as well as the congeniality of the owners made our visit truly memorable. I'm looking forward to utilizing this marvelous suite at another time in the near future!

Dear Donna and Kevin, Thank you for this perfect home far away from home. We wished to find something special for this weekend but we didn't dream to find such a wonderful place like this. We enjoyed the time here very much! It was fun to discover everything in this suite. You have thought about everything a guest could ever need! Thank you very much for that. Besides it was also fun to discover all the hummingbirds. We wish you many guests who appreciate all this. You created very good memories for us, when we are back in Germany.

Dear Donna & Kevin, How do I thank you for making my 1st trip to Bar Harbor just perfect? From the "Chickadee" to the "Hummingbird" suite & all the gorgeous scenery right down to watching your deer & racoon dining together. This is more than enough!! But most of all I loved getting to know you & Kevin. You're a special team...his planning & building & your warm & cozy decorating. This is more than a home away from home thanks to you. Can't wait to brag about you & my special trip! Love, Pam
