Great place, beautiful setting, perfect for our family, great outdoor space as well and super close to everything! We loved it and would stay here again if ever in the area!!
Great place for a family of four and our dog. Close to everything - about 20 mins from most park spots and less than 15 mins from Bar Harbor downtown. Property was great - clean, convenient, well-kept with plenty of storage space for our trip.
Property was clean and the right size for our family of 3. The air conditioning units in the bedrooms kept us comfortable. Location was very convenient to Hulls Cove Visitors Center and Bar Harbor. Kitchen was stocked with cookware, and there is a gas grill on the deck. Unit is above a garage so make sure you are comfortable taking stairs. Communication was great, and we’d stay there again!
We stayed here on our family vacation to Bar Harbor! We went to various toddler friendly hiking locations at Acadia such as Cadillac mountain summit, Jordan pond, echo lake, jesup trail and wonderland trail. Our children are 3 and 5 and these trails were perfect for them. We caught the tide pool in wonderland trail and got to see so many sea creatures. We also went whale watching and got to see tons of dolphins and some hump back whales! It was such a great trip despite it pouring the entire time and not getting the best hiking views from a nor’easter! The hosts of this property were extremely helpful, responsive and friendly. They really try hard to limit the amount of things you need to do for checking in and out which we appreciate! Any questions or issues we had they answered very quickly. It was a great experience!
Great location and great TV for World Cup viewing. The fire pit was a standout feature. Great yard space for our dog and for the kids to play soccer etc.
We enjoyed staying here so much that we came back to do it again this year. Its location is great, it is clean, and it had little things in the kitchen that were very much appreciated!
This property was so clean and in an ideal location for us. The property manager had amazing communication and replied to our questions immediately. Will absolutely stay again!
We stayed at this lovely place and had our dog join us. It is clean, well-stocked and is located on a quiet street. We liked hanging out on the deck. We would definitely stay again.
We stayed here with our daughter and very much enjoyed our stay. The place is well equipped, clean, and comfy. We were in a good location to get to Bar Harbor and Acadia easily. The road noise did disturb the quiet beauty a bit but didn’t keep us awake at night
This was a great spot to jump off from and see all that the Bar Harbor area had to offer. Short drive to Acadia and shops and restaurants. We appreciated how clean the space was and that dogs were welcomed. It did lack amenities which made a rainy day inside a little rough but otherwise a pleasant stay.
We had a great stay at the Main Escape. They provided great instructions for an easy check in / out. A couple of personalized tips definitely helped our adventure. Close to the park but nicely outside of the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. It was private and nice to have so good space to relax after a day at the park. We didn’t want to leave :)
Very cute place. Very clean, had most amenities, just no spices if you are planning to cook. Very quiet neighborhood and close to Bar Harbor. Also, is right next to the main road. Wasn’t too much of a bother since the traffic was low.
The unit was very clean and the beds were comfortable. It was very nice to have extra supplies given to us upon our arrival. The kitchen had things needed to create meals, including salt and pepper, Pam spray, and supplies such as coffee filters, foil, trash bags, and dish soap. The location was perfect for us, as it was easy access to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, yet tucked away from crowds. We had a great time!

Decent
Place was a little quirky and more noisy than hoped for. Did have a bit of odor. No remote for tv. Tree over deck dropped a lot of debris.
This is a tidy, well looked-after place to stay on Mt Desert Island, conveniently close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. We spent most of our time out of the apartment, but it was nice to have a comfortable place to relax in the evening. The kitchen had everything we needed - no dishwasher but that wasn't a big deal. The only minor complaint was that it is a little close to a main road (Route 3) and we could hear the traffic passing by. But otherwise, it is a nice place to stay.
We were pleased with the stay for the most part. Easy access, clean, comfortable. Unfortunately some supplies were short, ie, toilet paper, soap, laundry soap. We requested these but did not hear back in a timely manner. We had to borrow laundry soap and tp from our son, and we bought soap. Eventually all was provided. Even though it was off-season, we thought communication could have been better.
Accomodations where fine. My only critique would be the cleaning. I come from a military background and when we clean it's from top to bottom. I notice dust buildup on the over head light over the dining room table, ceiling fan and above the kitchen cabinets. They also missed cleaning the second shelves under the coffee table which was full of animal hair which I cleaned because it was a turn off for me. Lamp shade could have also used some dusting as well. This is why I only gave you 3 stars. My suggestion is if your going to rent out such a nice apartment then clean it like you live there.
