Delightful retreat

This unique and comfortable house was the perfect home base for a week exploring Acadia. It had everything we needed, from a well stocked kitchen to a beautiful outdoor space, we couldn't have asked for more!

The property was just as described. we really love the house and location. The hosts were great and the house was very unique and cozy. Very close to Acadia. Although the house is so nice it was hard to leave. Would absolutely love to stay there again in the future.

Great location, house, and host

We had a great time staying at Sarah's property. She was very communicative throughout our stay. The property was very private and had good amenities, though it's worth noting that there's only one shower. The kitchen was well stocked and the outdoor grill and firepit were great features. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Acadia or Bar Harbor, as it's only 15 mins away from both.

The retreat is a very special place. The setting is so serene. The house itself is wonderfully rustic and so relaxing to spend time in. The location is great, one can access Southwest Harbor, Northeast Harbor and Bar Harbor with a relatively short drive. Sarah and Nick are great hosts and responsive to any questions. Highly recommended!
