Love the house and amenities. Kitchen was magnificent and we cooked most of our meals there. We had six adults and one baby who all enjoyed our stay. We definitely come again here. Thank you!

Hi David,
Thank you for your kind review! So nice to hear that your family enjoyed the kitchen and you plan to return. We hope to host you again in the future.
Warm regards,
Marla J.
We came to the area for my sister’s 60th birthday and to participate in a half marathon. The house was perfect for the four of us in the location was so convenient.
Our group of 7 (3 adult couples and 1 toddler) loved this house. It was just as described and beautiful in person. It was very clean, welcoming and comfortable. We appreciated the privacy of the location as well as the proximity to downtown Bar Harbor and all that Acadia has to offer. There is so much to see and do in the area so we hope to be back!
Exactly as as advertised, this home was a clean and comfortable space for a few days of relaxation. The location was on a quiet road and convenient to Acadia trails, bar harbor, and the quiet side. Couldn’t have been happier!

All the best,

This was a great house for a larger family — plenty of space and the outdoor area was so enchanting. It was easy to get to several restaurants and locations, but also felt secluded and quiet. Best of both worlds!

We had a nice time in Acadia, and house was close to Southwest Harbor and the carriage trails at the park. We enjoyed watching the deer eat under the apple trees each morning.

The house is even better than the pictures. The location is perfection. You feel away from crowds, but easily accessible to restaurants and activities. It has all the amenities needed for preparing meals, great outdoor space. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. This house is just “the best”

Awesome house with everything you need to make it a real family vacation!
The house is large with a lot of common space for everyone. Kitchen is well stock with all you need to cook and bake all your fave food. Location is prime where you are away from the park’s crowd but close enough for you to get there when you need a great night out in town. Host communicated really well and making sure we understand the process from booking to checking in. The place is exceptionally well kept and super clean.
What a lovely home in Acadia! Very short drive into Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The house was beautiful and very quiet. Just what my family looked forward at the end of the day in the park. Can’t wait to return!

We enjoyed the house (especially the kitchen and the old fashion bath tub in the master bath). The house was nicely furnished and it was a beautiful place to relax with the family and play board games. We enjoyed the private setting and the central location close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National park.

The property was exactly as described and the property manager was very responsive. So appreciated access to this lovely home and our pup loved bounding in the wooded, mossy back yard. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

The home was pristine. Beautiful grounds. It was very accessible to all the attractions on Mt. Desert Island. Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped and enjoyable to use. All in all a first rate choice for any family. Col JDH, USAF (Ret)
The house is absolutely beautiful, spacious and very welcoming. It had all the space and facilities that we needed as a family. The back yard opens to the forest which is really unique and gorgeous. It's 25 minutes drive to bar harbor, and less to other attractions such as Cadillac Mt. 5 minutes away from national park lake boats rental. Highly recommended!
