We just spent a magical week here with our four boys (aged eight and under) and we’re already scheming our next visit. This house is genuinely one of the best places we’ve ever stayed with young kids, and we don’t say that lightly.The location was ideal for everything we wanted to do — close to Bar Harbor, Acadia, and all the spots that made our week so special. It’s a beautiful, thoughtfully equipped home that clearly was set up by people who care.The setup for families is exceptional. The yard was perfect for the boys to run around while the baby napped, and both the yard and the porch felt so safe for the kids to play on. We especially loved that the landscaping created a clear, natural boundary from the water — as parents of little ones, that gave us real peace of mind.And the chipmunks! The kids were absolutely enchanted. We loved that they had names, and the boys were convinced they could tell them apart and spent the week calling them by name. Feeding them became one of the highlights of the whole trip.We also have to mention the binder — we read the entire thing, and it’s hands down the most helpful guest binder we have ever come across. The local recommendations were spot on. Sweet Peas, in particular, was a fantastic call: they have a whole field where the kids can play with soccer balls while you eat, and the food was excellent!
