We loved staying at this property. There was so much space for multiple families. We all had privacy but also wonderful gatherings spaces. The game room was a hit with the children, along with the spacious backyard. The large dining room accommodated our large crew. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. There was plenty of bathroom linens, spare blankets, and pillows. It was exceptionally clean also. This is a home we will return to!

Kitchen was well equipped. We did have a problem with the water pressure but was fixed right away and didn’t have any more trouble. There were a couple of light bulbs burned out. We did a load of laundry and it took forever for it to dry. It was nice and quiet but the road to get to the house needs to be fixed. At least fill in all the potholes. Overall it was a great stay.

The property is accessed by a rather long and very bumpy dirt road that includes several (very unnecessary in my opinion) speed bumps. The owner warned us not to go over 15mph, but it's nearly impossible to go more than 5 or so. Then there's a bit of a ledge between this very bumpy dirt road and the main road. It was pretty annoying to face this in and out a few times every day of our stay.

We were a large group of extended family and everyone was happy with the house. The game/TV room was a great bonus for the teenagers, during our down time. We enjoyed the firepit and having a kitchen to make meals.

Basketball tourney weekend!

We just got back from our two night stay in this beautiful home. It had everything we needed to make our stay easy! There was plenty of space for all four families to unwind after the kids played in their basketball tournament. The host was very reachable during our stay when we had questions! Would definitely rent from them again!

Highly recommended for large groups!

The property was clean and inviting and had all the amenities we needed. It was also not too far from Acadia National Park, only 9 minutes from Bass Harbor Lighthouse. There were 10 of us plus our baby. Would definitely go back.

Acadia Paradise

The pictures are accurate, the accommodations lovely. Plenty of beds. We had 10 people, if you had a full house, only having 2.5 bathrooms might be tricky. Game room was nice, as was having several gathering areas. Super short checkout list (yay!), great location for exploring Acadia. 100% would rent again!

Special Christmas

The property was nice and private. Didn't get to use the yard as it was cold and snowy. Watching the deer come out of the woods was special.We have a large family and the house was perfect. we even had a Christmas tree.

Our host was very responsive and quick to answer questions! Loved that. All of the rooms had king singed beds and I slept very well in the loft space. It was really nice having laundry on site, especially after burning a fire out back. I do think the pricing is a bit high. While the place is very large, it could definitely use some updating to feel the value met the price. The pool queues were missing tips, so we didn’t get much use of that amenity. It would have been nice to have more cleaning supplies and a vacuum available, to keep up after ourselves. All in all we had a nice stay and I would recommend!

Great house for a family

We had a great time and used almost everything the house has to offer. The fire pit, pool table, bbq, etc. all appliances are brand new. Same as kitchen ware, etc. location was 5 mins away from Southwest Harbor. About 30 mins from larger Bar Harbour and Acadia. It was not a problem for us since we were not looking to be close to a larger city. Host was responsive and instructions spot on. Would totally recommend.

Perfect New Year's Getaway

My daughter really wanted to do the New Year's Day sunrise hike at Cadillac Mountain in Acadia. So, we looked for a home in the area that would accommodate our family. As it turns out, we had fewer people than we originally anticipated but the house was perfect anyway! The property is inviting and the photos accurately portray the lovely decor! The communication from the host is friendly, concise, and clear. They are responsive to any inquiries in a very timely manner. I am now looking forward to returning in the summer months and would not hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Family Gathering

The location was nice, end of the road, quiet. Nice arrangement. Appreciated the refinished attached garage for gathering of adults after children went to bed. Nice back yard, fire pit was nice to have. Check out was easy- no real expectations. Nice to have washer and dryer on site. Just a few suggestions to consider making this a top destination for the price- be sure guests know any needed supplies like toilet paper, paper towels, propane are provided and can be delivered by the host as needed. I’d have enough towels for the people staying, and larger. Include scissors, hot pads, and more kitchen towels, etc. Consider supplying firewood as well. Overall nice stay, but could use some amenities for the price that is paid.
