This was the perfect place away from the crowds of Acadia and Bar Harbor. The house was well provisioned and the five of us and our little pup had plenty of room to enjoy. We would definitely return for a future trip!!

We took a family trip to visit Acadia and show some Texans and Californians some real fall colors. We had an amazing time and the house was so cozy and fully stocked! We’d highly recommend staying :)

The house was perfect for our getaway to Maine! We loved having a quiet place to stay and it was even more special to have our dog with us. Having a full bath for each bedroom was also great! Would definitely recommend staying here.

Quiet and peaceful oasis

We had the best time in your serene location. Cute house, as advertised, and centrally located to both parts of Acadia National Park- though both are about a 20-30 minute drive.

Overall, we all enjoyed our stay at the home. There was enough room for each couple, the house was spacious, well stocked, and decorated nicely. The location was lovely.Unfortunately, there are two areas of concern. First, the plumbing in the house had some issues. I’m sure this happens over time and is hard to manage with different tenants coming in and out. There were numerous drips and leaks in the bathroom faucets, and the upstairs shower drain was blocked up. Lastly, the house was not cleaned well upon arrival.Again, I think this place has so much to offer and we would love to return, but hope that these few minor details would be addressed.

Good location, great outdoor space

I stayed in this house with my husband an four year old daughter. It was a good location in that it was near many things to do--we drove about a half hour for a Puffin tour, and about 40 minutes to Acadia and Bar Harbor.
