I agree the 10 AM check out (industry standard) can be a challenge. But so is cleaning a huge house like this after so many people stayed. So much laundry to flip all the beds! At any rate, we loved having all of you stay with us. Please come again!

Our family stayed for a week in October. The property was large, secluded, yet amazingly close to the park, popular trails, the beach, and Bar Harbor. The basement game room was a hit with the kids and the jacuzzi was enjoyed by all. The property offers many opportunities to see wildlife including deer, fox, raccoons, coyotes, and even bear. I would highly recommend this property if you are visiting Acadia!

The house was perfect for our group of 16 ages 12 to 54. We were easily able to host an 80th birthday celebration for my mom. Plenty of seating for 20 people. The house and sleep arrangements were pretty ideal compared to other stays at other locations. My only suggestion is extra towel sets!

We have window air conditioners in the bedrooms. It is such a large house -- expensive for the owners to retro fit central air now. I am sure you understand.
