Wonderful chalet. Close to Acadia/Bar Harbor. Game room in the basement was great for the kids (and adults). Owner did a wonderful communicating when we had questions.
Weekend with family with adults and kids. Water access with kayaks, games indoors and fire pit and grill outdoors. Also has a large kitchen and living room the overlooks the bay. Very nice facility
This very-well equipped house is spacious with plenty of space for our three-generation family group. The pictures are accurate and the house is every bit as nice as it looks. The private aspect, overlooking the water was particularly nice. The hosts were quick to respond to queries.
The house was great! It was quiet in a beautiful setting. Very spacious which was great as we had our adult children with our 5 grandkids ages 5 to 10. There were 2 bedrooms on the second floor with a queen bed in a loft in between the 2 bedrooms. One bathroom upstairs. On the ground floor there was a cozy bedroom and a bathroom and then the primary bedroom on the other side of the great room.The back yard was great to run around. The basement was loaded with kid-friendly games...also great for the adults. We spent most of the time in Acadia which was not that close of a drive. But we loved being in the house and sitting on the deck or playing on the lawn! House was very clean. Kitchen was not totally equipped if you want to seriously cook but we had breakfast in the house and we were then out for most of the day. Had 2 dinners in the house and then ate locally in the restaurants. It was a great week!!! Our hosts were very responsive and helpful. The extensive lists of local restaurants was welcome. Thanks so much!
Wow. Beautiful views, plenty of space, super-clean.
This property was a hit with our group. It was conveniently located to visit Acadia National Park while avoiding the crush of Bar Harbor, which can get loud and congested.
We absolutely loved this house. The location was perfect. Quiet area, all the amenities and best of all the kayaking. If we are ever back in Maine this would be where we would want to stay again. Thank you for the memories
This house was great for us 7 adult sisters & our 87 year old dad! Lots of room to cook & be together in the kitchen, at the dining table, & in the spacious living room. The 8 of us easily gathered to plan our next day's adventures, including visits to Acadia & Bar Harbor. Lovely to take the kayaks out. Great communication.
11 family members stayed for the Labor Day weekend to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The property is beautiful, better than the listing. Wonderful weekend!
We loved this house!!! Our extended family of 9 stayed here on our recent trip to Acadia National Park. It’s a very spacious house with ample bedrooms & bathrooms, and the basement has lots to do with air hockey, foosball, and pool tables. You can’t beat the view of the bay. And having access to the kayaks was a real selling point for us. I would rent this place again.
I rented this house for our family weekend trip to Bar Harbor/ Acadia Park due to it's close proximity and great location to the surrounding areas. We really enjoyed the kayaks that came with the house and could use on the surrounding bay. The homeowner was great and very easy to communicate with throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone going on vacation.
Thank you,

Thank you for the use of your beautiful home. It was very clean and spacious. If I had to critique anything it would be to replace and update all the bedding and have a clean extra blanket in every room. Thank you
Great property for families - access to the water was used each day. Plenty of space, kids were very entertained in the basement. The kitchen was well stocked to make all our own meals. Steve was very responsive to my questions.
*Of note - reminder that the house does not have AC which we assumed would be fine until the temperature was in the low 80s our entire stay (!). Got a bit uncomfortable, but the fans in the house helped!
Large back yard right on the water, with kayaks and equipment available. The entire home is child-proofed. Huge kitchen, large comfortable living room. Four bedrooms with fifth day-bed hall upstairs. The master suite on the ground floor is gorgeous. We only needed three of the rooms. The unfinished basement is full of things to keep kids entertained.
Lots to see an do in nearby Acadia and around the area. Some great biking in the area.
WOW!!! The house was just perfect for our long weekend get-a-way in Maine. The house was well equipped, spotless when we arrived, kitchen fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals, the beds were comfy, strong wi-fi, amazing views, and the owner, Shawn, was friendly, available for questions, and even delivered fresh lobsters, right off the boat, to the house. The house is perfectly located for trips to Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mountain, Tidal Bay, Ellsworth, and phenomenal restaurants where you can eat all the lobster, crabs, scallops, and oysters you want. We look forward to returning to the host on our next trip to Maine.
