Acadia family vacation

We loved the house and neighborhood. Great access to the carriage roads, hiking trails and the beach at seal harbor. The house was very comfortable for relaxing after a long day’s hike. Jordan pond road was a convenient base to explore bar harbor, northeast harbor and southwest harbor from. Rosemary and Charlie were the perfect hosts!

Perfect Stay in a Beautiful Spot

I loved my stay here! The house was just as described, walking distance to Acadia and carriage roads, and a beautiful home immaculately maintained. Located in a neighborhood of locals who knew each other and walked dogs and kids in the mornings and evenings. Felt like home. Grilled burgers on the patio to the sounds of a babbling Stanley Brook. I was warmly greeted on arrival by Rosemary whose emphasis was ensuring that I would enjoy my stay. I would stay there again as my absolute first choice on MDI, it was perfect for me. Thank you to Rosemary and Charlie for such a great spot and warm hospitality.
Patio over Stanley Brook
Eagle Lake, a fairly easy bike ride entirely on carriage roads from the house. Rental bikes from Acadia Outdoors Center just up the road from the cottage. They also have coffee, fresh baked muffins, gelato, and gifts. Worth a stop!

Fall in Acadia

This home is perfect in every way. The house felt brand new and was immaculately cleaned. They have literally thought of every detail. The location was convenient and peaceful. I wish I could rate it more than five stars! Charlie and Rosemary are incredible hosts. We are seasoned travelers and this was our best VBRO experience yet!

Wonderful time at Sunscape

We can’t say enough good things about our stay at Sunscape. This solar-powered house is lovely, comfortable, and immaculately kept, nestled in woods adjoining Acadia National Park. You can walk onto a park carriage road, or to a nearby pond. Bar Harbor is a short drive from the house. Rosemary and Charlie are wonderful hosts, kind and full of helpful information. We hope we will be able to return.

Delightful

The house is immaculately clean, with clear instructions for its use, and comfortably fit our family of 3 (two adults and one toddler). Seal Harbor is the perfect location for access to Acadia and everything the area has to offer, and it’s also close to Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor and other coastal Mt Desert Island towns. We were also able to catch one of the local free buses from Seal Harbor and Jordan Pond. Carriage trails for biking are also within a short walk, and several hiking paths are accessible from the property as well. Rosemarie and Charlie were exceptional hosts and the location is as social or as secluded as you want it to be. We’ve been coming to Acadia for over a decade and this has been one of this best visits to date.

A once in a lifetime experience

Flawless vacation home in the heart of Acadia. The owners have created and maintained a masterpiece that combines comfort and convenience while adhering to a philosophy of environmental sustainability and harmony. From the soothing sounds of a backyard-babbling-brook to the delightfully comfortable beds, it is challenging to motivate yourself to walk out the front door and begin any number of great Acadia adventures. Walk to Jordan Pond House; Seal Harbor beach; or the Island Explorer bus-stop in less than 30 minutes. A few decent options for food and drink near the home, but easy to hop on the bus (in season) for even more excellent choices in Bar Harbor. Or you can choose to utilize the fully equipped kitchen and cook yourself a nice meal. The options and possibilities offered by the home and the area will accommodate any vacation style. The owners care for their home and ensure that your family will have an enjoyable and safe stay. Book it, you will not be disappointed.

We really enjoyed our stay. House is everything you could want. It is in a great location (we walked to Jordan Pond House and the carriage roads are even closer). Kitchen is fully equipped, bedrooms/baths were great and the outdoor area has a grill and great seating area overlooking a creek. Couldn't be happier with the accommodations.

Fall in Maine

The location, property, and hosts were excellent. It is practically in Acadia Park and so close to great hiking and carriage trails. The house is super clean and charming, away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. My family and I feel lucky to have found this place. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Location for Park

This is a wonderful property and very convenient to the park, with only a short walk to the carriage roads for a bike ride or hike, and also close to Jordan Pond and the coast. The property is immaculate with tasteful and simple decor and a wonderful view to the quaint patio and woods of Acadia beyond. The owners are a wonderful and kind couple who live just up the road if any issue were to arise. We highly recommend this property.

Amazing Home and Location!

We loved this home, its location, and the owners, Rosemary and Charlie! The carriage roads of Acadia NP are literally a 2 minute walk from the front door, and it is a very short walk to Jordan Pond. So, we could leave the car parked in the driveway and just walk magnificent Acadia. The home is a new, beautifully-constructed and maintained, energy-efficient masterpiece. Our stay exceeded our expectations.

Lovely house, great location

We had a wonderful stay at Rosemary and Charlie's property. The house is immaculate and very tastefully decorated. We could walk to the carriage roads just a few doors down, and in the other direction could walk into the small cute town/harbor. Our hosts left us a few treats from their garden. I highly recommend staying here!

Didn't want to leave

When we go on vacation, we like to stay in a place that's nicer than our own home. This place is in immaculate shape and it's very easy to get comfortable. It matched our expectations and it was hard to leave. The owners have an eye for detail. We also enjoyed the quiet, leafy neighborhood and close proximity to the Jordan Pond House and biking and hiking trails.

Lovely home in a great little neighborhood. Close to everything you’ll want to do and explore. Friendly and kind owners willing to help with advice on things to see and do. Loved the little creek and woods in the back. Just so relaxing. House was super clean and had everything you would need. Owner is an artist and beautiful touches of artwork in the home. Would absolutely stay here again! A mile walk to Jordan Pond to the north and a mile walk to the south to Seal Harbor beach. Cute cafe on the walk to Seal Harbor. Short drive to Bar Harbor.

We loved this house! The location is as good as it gets--easy access to the park, carriage roads, a family-friendly beach, and nearby towns.

Why they chose this property

To build a house was a lifetime interest--and we did it. We are sure you will appreciate the thought and effort that went into our endeavor, and find yourself immediately at home! We visited Acadia National Park for years and were fortunate to be able to eventually live here year round. For us to live among mountains, forests and lakes all while being on the ocean is wonderful almost beyond words. We built a home of classic design but with sustainability and comfort as our priorities.
