We had a wonderful time here. The place is very sweet. It is well located - outside of Bar Harbor but very close. It is definitely not fancy - but has everything you need.

Woods and Waters - Great Place to Stay!

Woods and Waters provided a convenient and comfortable place to stay while we explored Acadia. There was plenty of space for five people and the host was polite and accommodating. The washer and dryer was a huge bonus for us. Thank you for providing this wonderful place for our family’s vacation!

Great location

Home was just as listed! Everything you need to be close to Bar Harbor but also close to the national park. House was clean and spacious, owners even dropped off extra toys for my little ones. Beds were very comfortable and house is equipped with everything you need to get your vacation started. Would stay again.

Great Home and Location

The home is beautiful, in a wooded area with lots of room for our family. It is conveniently located close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Some of our family camped at Blackwoods Campground which was just a 5 minute drive away. I would highly recommend staying here. The owners were quick to answer any questions and even had some suggestions for things to to in Bar Harbor.

Great location! Fun time!

Had a great time. Kids had fun at the hidden water pond. Kyle was great to deal with. Very easy check in. When we had issues he replied quickly and was helpful. Would just say the house maybe could have been a little cleaner. Overall, a good stay and super location.

Nice House

Comfortable house in a perfect location close to but outside of town. Clean and spacious, it served us well for our family vacation. Our little one especially appreciated the toys left at the house. Although the trail was not well marked, we found the water and rocks, which were amazing.The house was so nice, I wish we could have stayed longer.

Great house, perfect distance from Bar Harbor. Secluded. The water was not what it was portrayed in the picture. Not a big deal for my family but I would not use it on the opening page.

Thank you for your review! Just so other people know, we were in an "Extreme"-level drought at this time with no significant rainfall for 3 months. There was still water to float in at the swim hole, but the stream flow was very low.

Highly recommended

Great location. 4 miles to town and right next to jogging trails. Acadia park is close by. Felt like we were in the middle of the woods. The cabin was bigger then expected. It was clean and very nice.. It was also well supplied. It has a brand new grill and fire pit too. We really enjoyed our stay.

Nice Home in Excellent spot

The location of this home was great, surrounded by green woods, right by the beautiful Otter Creek. The house was spacious and very pretty with beautiful wooden ceilings. They had a collection of books, toys, and games that my kids happily dig into. Owner very responsive to some general inquiries I had. I recommend this property and would rent it again if we are lucky enough to come back.

Acadia Heaven

My crew came up to enjoy the beauty of nature with several planned hikes throughout Acadia. The most appealing aspect of this property was the proximity to Acadia. It was LITERALLY a 4 minute drive to the Acadia entrance and probably 5 minutes to the center of Bar Harbors shopping area. Communition with the host was flawless.

This house is more expensive than its competitors in the area, but it’s well worth it if you prize “bright and spacious.” It’s truly bright and spacious, and very well designed for a group. This is especially important if you think you might not be spending all your time outside.

Hiking in Acadia National Park

The hosts were superb! Communications started well before we arrived at their house on Otter Creek Drive. Everything that was expected was there upon arrival. Amazingly, hiking trails were found right out the front door. We were able to walk to other trails nearly by and made it to the top of Cadillac Mountain! We give the Spruces our very best wishes and hope that we can arrange for another visit next year.
