Really good house with all needed facilities. Very remote ad quite , but close to ocean access, kayaking and hiking. Very friendly and welcoming host, welcomed us with some treats and all necessary information. While staying there house had everything we needed and more. Host were very helpful to recommend local places to eat and answered any questions or inquiries we had via text message. Really enjoyed the trip. The only thing if you have small kids, you will not to watch them when they run on backyard as it is close to front yard and busy road. We loved the quietness, also no hassle check out.

A wonderful time on Mount Desert Island

This was our first time on Mount Desert Island. A true discovery! Staying at Nicole’s and Andrew’s farmhouse was wonderful. Tremont is located on the more remote side of the island. So be ready to drive everyday when you want to explore all the hikes. But there are also beautiful hikes close by and our most favorite swimming spot was around the corner. The house is spacious, clean, and equipped with everything you need. The neighbors are friendly and during the nights you can hear the loons. Communication with Nicole was wonderful. She has a lot of recommendations and gets back to you immediately.

Lovely location, super clean and the most accomodating hosts

Bright and airy property with plenty of space for 4 of us to spread out and relax. We felt very confident that everything had been meticulously cleaned. It had everything we needed, except not enough time to explore every book in the interesting bookshelf! We love the quietside as it's close to SW harbor, Pretty Marsh is 5 mins up the road for beautiful sunsets and eagle sightings. It's close enough to the other side and the drive is always a pleasure anyway. We found some of the hikes were just as entertaining over here (Flying Mountain was an easy going favorite) and Beech was good too. Nicole and Andrew couldn't have been more willing to help. We arrived with almost no charge in our electric vehicle and between all of us figured out a way to plug into their tumble dryer outlet to get a higher voltage charge. I am very grateful for them allowing us to park on the grass every night to get a charge!

New England farmhouse, quiet and close to everything!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at this charming home! The property was easy to find and in a lovely setting that made you feel like you were really on vacation and not in the hustle and bustle of a tourist destination. It hands down has the most comfy beds of any VRBO listing we've used. There are plenty of towels, linens, and extra blankets. The kitchen was very clean and well stocked with anything you might need and we made good use of the laundry room with all our hiking clothes. With four kids ranging from 6 to 10 years old, it was a perfect house for us to spread out in and have space. And while we packed for the day each morning, we could turn the little crazies in the back yard to run off energy until it was time to go. If you have kids, you know what I mean! :) It is on the "quiet side" of the island so it feels very private. Yet it is close to all the main areas of interest including Acadia, and we didn't have to drive anymore than 20 minutes to go anywhere we wanted to go. As far as getting your money's worth for a relaxing, easy stay, this place would be hard to beat. I'm really hoping we can come back to this gem and enjoy more of the beauty of the area. One visit was not enough!

Fantastic owners, perfect location

The owners of this property were awesome! Whenever I had a question about things to do in the area or where to find something in the house they always answered quickly. The house was perfect for our family and we really really liked that it was on the "quiet" side of the island! We would definitely stay here again!

Cute farmhouse, great hostess

Cozy former farmhouse, full of hostess' art, great local restaurant and activity suggestions, great selection of kitchen/other amenities. Away from crowds-wonderfully quiet. Plenty of room for family and dog. What we enjoyed the most was the friendliness and availability of the hostess, who lives next door. Genuinely nice people are the real treasure when traveling. Would certainly return!

Comfortable spot on the Quietside

We loved being off the beaten path but still 20 min or less from anywhere we wanted to go. Nicole and Andrew were very helpful, and even got us a park pass to speed our entry when our trip was delayed. Home was very clean and had everything we needed. Our boys loved getting their own rooms too! I'd recommend to anyone visiting Mount Desert Island/ACN

Our first time on the quiet side

Super clean property lots of living space, loved the sunroom and deck. All the extras were lovely: maps, suggestion binder, books, fresh cut flowers, paper products, etc. Quiet area. The master bedroom with the sky light that let in the morning sun to wake up to every morning was perfect, not alarms needed.

Great weekend getaway

Nicole was an excellent host and house was fantastic. It was well stocked with cooking supplies (rich assortment of spices, aluminum foil, cooking/grilling utensils). Also, towels were neatly placed on each bed prior to arrival. Nicole was very communicative and accommodating. Overall, very clean and wonderful house to stay in.

Comfortable Cozy Home

This was the perfect location for our group of friends to stay while exploring Bar Harbor, Manie. The home was very clean and well prepared for guests. Nicole and Andrew put the extra effort in to make you feel welcomed, from towels laid out for each guest to a resource guide of the island. Our group felt and home and comfortable staying here. The location is great and is close to many of the island attractions. I would stay here again!

DID NOT DISAPPOINT....

The house was a comfortable, clean & spacious retreat. On our first day we saw deer grazing in the field across the road. On our last day there were deer in the fields behind the house. It was located far enough away from the crowds in Bar Harbor & Acadia NP to feel remote, but generally only about 20 minutes from both. The sun room & back deck were awesome places to do our Yoga & Thai Chi. with the backdrop of the mist covered mountain. Nicole & Andy were amazing hosts and made us feel right at home. We heartily recommend the Misty Mountain Retreat.

The house was neat, clean, and quiet. It was a short drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia. We were pleasantly surprised that the owners supplied extras such as shampoo, soap, and kitchen staples. In addition , the owners were very easy to work with. We would definitely rent this house again.

A True Retreat!

We had such an amazing time at the Misty Mountain Retreat! Nicole and Andrew are the perfect hosts, so accommodating - everything you could possibly need was provided for. This was more than what you would get at a five star hotel! The house is beautiful and had plenty of room for our family. The location is so convenient to Acadia and Bar Harbor, it made our days enjoyable and we were able to get the most out of our time there. I wish we had had more time to spend there, we will definitely plan to return! Thank you Nicole and Andrew!!

Home away from home

Nicole and Andrew were great hosts. They gave us great tips prior to arrival for restaurants, hitting up a grocery store prior to arriving, local hints that made everything easier. I was surprised at all The little.things that was included....from shampoo and conditioner in The shower to dishwasher tabs to coffee and sugar. It was those little touches that made it great. The house was a beautiful old farmhouse with a lovely interior. The bedrooms are great even with the bathroom being a little small. The entire house is hardwood and tile, so everything stayed cool. Our elderly dog loved just hanging out and sleeping while we went exploring. Can't thank our hosts enough.

Nice, Relaxing House

My friends and I stayed here for the long Labor Day weekend and had a great time. The house was a comfortably large size for the 4 of us and very clean. We enjoyed the beautiful space/yard and convenience to all of Acadia's major hiking and swimming spots. Nicole and Andrew were very friendly hosts and gave us some great recommendations. I would definitely recommend to any group or family who wants to come to Acadia for a nice and relaxing vacation.

Nice place for a larger family. Away from the crowds with a rustic feel

A nice rustic property that worked well for our family of 5. The house is off the beaten path and about 25 minutes away from Bar Harbor. After a day of hiking and sightseeing it was great to get away from the crowds and come back to the quieter side of the island. We used the grill and fire pit every night. There is no AC and the hot tub wasn’t working but to be honest the place cooled off nicely at night.

Misty Mountain Retreat Review

Our stay at this home on Mount Desert Island was quite the treat. All the accommodations at this beautiful three-bedroom home were professionally provided, from the comfort of the beds to the spaciousness of the two-level home to the fully-equipped and modern kitchen. Outside, the deck was used for both morning activities (sunrise anyone?) and night (there's no better place to stargaze in New England than Maine). The fire pit, outside grill and hammock also got some use. Access to the island's many attractions is fairly easy. The longest ride (to Bar Harbor) was only 20 to 25 minutes and many great hiking trails and swimming, biking and boating locations are much closer. Another great feature of this home is that it's on the "quiet side" of the island. We enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the hiking trails and the busy streets of Bar Harbor but it was quite nice waking to the bucolic comfort of the Misty Mountain Retreat and returning to it at night. I would definitely return to this home for any future treks to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.

charming house to stay in

We had a nice time staying here and will definitely return. The house is on the quiet side of the island which we liked because we could sit on the deck & have campfires in the evening and listen to loons call from Long Pond, just behind the house. The house was clean and very roomy, with a kitchen, dining room, living room & windowed porch downstairs. We got a message that the house was ready for us early and when we arrived, we were happy to find that toys for my kids along with campfire wood and s'mores stuff were left out for us. She also had maps of the island for us to use, which was awesome because we had such a long drive we didn't feel like stopping on our way in for maps and brochures. Also, trails maps and books about the island were left for us to borrow while there. My kids liked the big back yard to play in and the views of the mountain behind us was beautiful. There is a dishwasher, washer and dryer which you can use and lake towels & bath towels were provided. We had a nice relaxing time returning to this house after busy days of exploring the island. It was very hot when we were there and there is no AC, but the house cooled down nicely at night for sleeping and the back of the house stayed cooled during the hot afternoons because it was shaded. I would definitely recommend this rental!
