Exactly what we wanted

The view was even better than expected. Gorgeous sunset and (a way too early) sunrise views. We loved sitting on the porch morning and evening. 25 minutes from Bar Harbor but it was so nice to be away from the crowds. Kitchen is very well stocked. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. I would return!

Perfect house & amazing view!

This house will not disappoint! We’ve stayed in a lot of great places with VRBO, but this was the best. The minute we walked in, we knew this was a special place. It was so tastefully appointed from the furnishings, to the high end well stocked kitchen, & everything in between. The amazing view of the harbor is quintessential New England. We had great weather. We did sunrise on Cadillac Mt, all kind of hikes, e-bikes in Acadia, sunset boat tour & shopped Bar Harbor. Lots of restaurants in area, too. We hope to be back. Just a lovely vacation for all of us. Our host was very accommodating. Thank you!
