We had a wonderful time with family celebrating my husbands 70th birthday!The house was perfect for 8 adults and a dog. It was well appointed, with very comfortable rooms great for hanging out and very close to Acadia Park and shopping. The property was lovely and very private I would definitely stay here again.

Very comfortable house for our extended family of 5 adults and 3 children. Excellent location - close to Acadia and Bar Harbor - making it a very convenient vacation location for our Acadia adventures. The house is very well equipped - kitchen, bathrooms, and fun playroom for the kids. All appliances are in good working condition & the kitchen is stocked with everything you need. They even provide coffee! I highly recommend this house for a comfortable stay & a convenient location while visiting Acadia & Bar Harbor. The only issue we had was that the downstairs bed was covered with dog hair, as was the carpet and the washer and dryer. Interestingly, the previous guest left a comment in the guest book saying how the house accommodated their dog. I would definitely stay here again but I would ask for more consideration in cleaning, especially considering the cleaning fee.

There is only in TV in the home and trying to get logged into the tv for watching tv is a hassle so be prepared for that if trying to watch various shows or programming for the kids. The location is convenient. The kitchen is stocked well. The main floor bedroom is not a bedroom; it’s a converted room that’s off the main area so there is issue with noise and privacy since the sliding doors do not fully close The home does show some age. The carpet needs some love or changes out. We had issues with the master shower upon arrival and they were informed by the cleaning staff however it was not addressed so we again had issues later on. We were told there was a plumber that to fixWould be stay there again we would if we only needed 3 bedrooms instead of 4.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Nov 2025
We are sorry your stay was less than stellar. We would hope to do better for you next time. However, we also believe in accurate and honest reviews which this is not. There is some context missing. We never received any complaint from you regarding the TV. We would have assisted immediately. We did hear from you regarding the shower…the last night of your stay. I immediately addressed with you and told you we could get a plumber in the next day or two as it was out of our control. And, we did have him come, regrettably, the afternoon you checked out, and Jen he became available. The rest of your review was in-coherent so I’m not sure if I addressed everything you mentioned. Regardless, we will look to work harder with the things we can control.

Spacious, pet-friendly home. Quiet retreat with close proximity to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, trails, and activities. Kitchen is fully functional and spacious as well. Private, large backyard adds to ambiance. Lack of a/c on warm summer days can be problematic, but cool mornings and evenings are wonderful.

We had 7 family members staying for 4 nights. Everyone commented on how spacious and comfortable the house was. The beds were very comfortable, plenty of linens, good kitchen appliances, etc. the grounds were beautiful and flowers blooming. We hadn’t seen each other in a few years. So we hung out in a great space. Thank you for your attention to detail and keeping up this house! Enjoyed it!
