Cozy little place tucked away in the woods but a short 10-15 minute drive from pretty much anything. The place was clean and had everything we could ask for, the owners were very responsive and willing to work with us when our trip situation changed.

House was beautiful! House had everything we needed and more! Very clean and up to date! Owners were great to deal with. We saw that there was only an AC in the primary bedroom so we took along small fans, which worked great! Would love to stay there again!

Perfect Acadia base camp

The central location made getting to any sections of the park on MDI a breeze. Being set back into the woods while also close enough to walk to a playground and a few other little amenities was a nice bonus for our young family! Add in the well-equipped kitchen and overall cozy property and I can't imagine a better place to stay for our daughters' first National Park experience!

This was a wonderful property for us in terms of the privacy but not too far from everything.The beautiful outdoor deck with the table top fire pit which we used every night, the closeness to the park and to Bar Harbor, and a very well-stocked home that you needed nothing. Additionally, we text the owners on two occasions and they got back to us immediately. I would highly recommend staying here and I want to thank them for sharing their home with us. We found it to be a privilege to stay there. Definitely would stay there again.

Our stay was perfect except for the fact we couldn’t stay longer. The house and property were exactly how they were pictured and was the most well stocked & equipped home we have ever stayed at. The peacefulness outside whether it was on the porch in the morning or near the firepit in the evening was exactly what I hoped for. Annette and Jim were fantastic hosts and very easy to get in touch with and responsive.

Can’t say enough night things about this house!! It’s in the PERFECT location. It’s nestled in a quiet street off Main Street with Acadia, Bar Harbor and all other desirable spots within 15-20 mins drive. The house itself is perfect. It’s very clean and well maintained with a deck (grill and fire pit included), nice lawn and yard. Fantastic chefs kitchen, open living room and 3 bedrooms, it’s ideal for a family, couple little kids and a dog! House is very clean and decorated. Aid burning stove and in house washers and dryers were great. We absolutely look forward to staying here again. Thanks Jim and Annette!!!
