An absolutely perfect stay!We had an incredible time at this property. The space was exceptionally clean, beautifully decorated, and had everything we could possibly need for our trip. The location was fantastic—close to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and everything MDI offers. Having a dock allowed us to swim and canoe. Also, the seals right there, were really amazing and the kids loved seeing them everyday. The host was wonderfully responsive and helpful, providing clear check-in instructions and great local recommendations. The kitchen was fully stocked, which made cooking meals a breeze. We will be recommending this house to friends and would absolutely love to stay here again!

This gorgeous home nestled in the woods with spectacular views of the water was one of the nicest homes I have stayed in. We had 5 adults who spent 4 nights there while we explored the area. It was so peaceful and comfortable, and spotless! We loved it.

Beautiful and comfortable

I stayed for a week with my family and dog. The house is beautiful and we loved the secluded location overlooking the water. We were very comfortable during our stay and we would love to come back again.

Awesome Pleasurable Views

Our stay was spectacular, great location and very stunning views. You could see and hear the seals on the little islands, so if you like wildlife, you'll be excited. It was very peaceful,relaxing and away from everything.

Serene ocean views and spacious comfort.

Much to like about this property but especially loved the large living room opening onto the screened-in covered deck with stunning ocean views. The bedrooms also have this wonderful view. The property was well cared for and and we wanted for nothing except perhaps a few more days of the tranquility this property provided.

This home is stunning and its host is excellent. We stayed for 2 weeks and the property's setting, location, and amenities suited our needs. We spent most of our time on the screened porch, watching and listening to the bald eagles, ospreys, and seals while reading and taking in the incredible views. The kitchen is well appointed - more gadgets than one could ever use - and well laid out. Our host was very communicative and was able to arrange fixing an urgent maintenance issue on July 3rd - amazing. Future tenants should be aware that the walk to/from the dock and waterfront is very steep and not accessible by anyone with mobility issues (one family member with an ankle sprain could not access it). Also the wifi is relatively weak so anyone who needs a strong signal for whatever reason will need to visit the neighboring property or a public space that has wifi. Other than these 2 items, this property is absolutely awesome.

This is a fabulous property! Spacious - views from every window! We loved it. Have stayed twice and will stay again if the opportunity arises. This house was very well stocked. Anything you might need. Plenty of dishes, cooking utensils, glasses, silverware etc. I truly can't praise it highly enough!

Another magical stay

This house and location is superb. It’s well outfitted, absolutely stunning view of the ocean, eagles, seals, and other birds visible from the porch. The dock, accessed via a long set of steep steps though a gorgeous forest, is wonderful. It’s quiet and peaceful. Communication with property manager, Susan, was professional and timely as usual.

Maine Sunsets

This is a beautiful home with spectacular views of sunsets over the the peak of the Blue Hill past the small islands inhabited by harbor seals. I chose this VRBO for the views from the bedrooms so we could wake up to see the bay over the forest's treetops. However, the house is lovely, comfortable and full of treasures to make you enjoy coming home after our Acadia excursions.

Fabulous Home for Relaxation, Great Location for Touring

Spacious home with gorgeous views! The screened in deck became our prime living area, any time of the day or night. Sunsets were amazing! The home was beautifully appointed and well maintained; the hosts were available if needed. An added bonus was a morning visit from the hosts' two wonderful dogs ~ they made us feel right at home! The location was excellent, close enough to the main areas for touring, but far from the crowds. An excellent experience all the way around!

Once again Nirvana

It’s hard to come up with the right superlatives for how wonderful this home is. The location with a fabulous view of the water could not be better. We saw eagles everyday. The walk down to the dock is steep but lovely and the dock itself is a gorgeous place to hang out. The art, furnishings, and completeness of the kitchen just make it even more of a gem. Susan, the property manager is always very responsive on the rare occasion we have a question. We love, love, love this place!

Wonderful MDI waterfront cottage

My wife & I along with our youngest son (16), our corgi Stuart and my wife's parents spent a great week at this wonderful well equiped cottage. The setting was perfect on the quiet side of MDI. Beautiful waterfront location with great sunsets. An amazing screened back porch was perfect for watching the ocean and sunsets. A large group of harbor seals was always in view. My father in law uses a walker and had perfect ramp access into the house with a great first floor bedroom and easy access to living area and back porch which was fantastic. The house itself was immaculate and had great amenities. We have traveled to MDI yearly for the last 30 yrs and feel this home has been the best to date! Can' t wait to return!

A spacious comfortable well appointed high ceilinged home w quaint accessories that suited our 3 gen grown family perfectly. So much space w attention to the views. Also is well planned for the fur babies with a convenient fenced in yard. Workable kitchen. Definitely quiet side. Upscale not the usual tired rental! Eagles at treetop eye level. Birdsong in the forrest. Great sunsets. The only flaw is the multiple staircased steep trek to the water’s edge which is unrealistic unless you train on a stair-master which disappoints but an amazing overall very rare find! A gem!

Such a View!

Our group was composed of 2 parents, 2 adult children, and their spouses. We travel together often and have specific needs and desires in a place to stay. This beautiful home near Bar Harbor and Acadia N.P met all of our requirements! We felt as though we were at home. We loved the screened-in porch and the spotting scope. We all enjoy cooking and the spacious kitchen provided room for all of us. We are hikers and the proximity to Acadia made our treks easy. Strolling through the streets of Bar Harbor, we visited several restaurants/pubs and were served delicious food. After a day of hiking, the home provided the perfect place to unwind and sleep. This trip was an outstanding vacation.!
