Clean, quiet, and relaxing

This place was very clean, bright, roomy (for 3) and relaxing. The host responds quickly to messages and check in is simple. We appreciated the simplicity of the check out process as well. The location is on the "quiet side" of the island with quick access to the the Bass Harbor light, Wonderland, and Ship Harbor trails as well as Seawall.

Clean and quiet

Property was clean and well-stocked. Mary was responsive. When the power went out on the island, she even came to the property to check in with us. House is less than 10 minutes from Southwest Harbor, which has a cute little downtown and awesome restaurant (Drydock Cafe). We would definitely return.

Great stay!

The house was just as described. Very clean, organized, and comfortable. Mary was very communicative and easy to work with. House was a great location, convenient to Acadia, towns, and restaurants. Wish we could have stayed longer. I would definitely recommend staying here and would come back again.

Quietside Gem

This home was perfect for my family of three and there was room for more. It was situated very close to Bass Harbor so we walked down a block every night to watch the boats come in and saw spectacular sunsets from there. The house is very clean and well-outfitted with everything we needed. Definitely will rent again when we come back to Acadia.
