Very nice property that hosted 5 of us very comfortably. The host is great with communication and has clear instructions for check in / check out. The yard is great with plenty of firewood to keep a great campfire and stare at the wonderful starry sky. Close to nearby towns and the national park. Highly recommend!

Glad you all were comfortable in the home. The fire pit is a wonderful way to spend the evening after adventuring in Acadia. Come again when you are in the area.
Beautiful home base for all Acadia adventures. Excellent property to stay with families traveling together. Tina is a great host who is attentive, kind and thoughtful. Appreciated the practical extra items available like night lights. Beautiful deck for sunsets, kitchen window with the hummingbird feeder is a big hit! Walking distance from the lighthouse.

I'm so glad you found my home convenient for your adventures on MDI. Your favorite things are mine as well at the house. Come again w/your friends when you are in the area.
We loved the quiet location with a short walk to the lighthouse. The house was clean and amenities were just what we needed for our stay. I would class Tina as an outstanding host with phenomenal communication.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It is my pleasure to make each quest feel at home (away from home) and help however I can. The light house is a beautiful spot and while parking can be an adventure, walking there is more delightful, in my opinion. Glad you felt the same way. Come again!
Great location. Quiet and near water. Easily driveable to anywhere on MDI. Host is very easy to contact and is pleasant to work with. Kitchen very well stocked, appliances work very well. Overall one of the best VRBO we’ve stayed. Thank you for everything.

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and found the house w/plenty of room. Walking to the Lighthouse is much easier than finding a parking place. Sorry the weather wasn't the best but glad you were able to enjoy the firepit.
Very nice spacious, clean, comfortable, enjoyable house. Our adult children were all happy with the place. Kitchen was well stocked, beds comfortable, nice common areas.

So glad the house met your needs and that you and your family enjoyed it. Come again!
The property was clean and we loved all the deer in the yard each day! We enjoyed our stay. Tina was very receptive when we sent a text asking a question. It was spacious which was good since it was two families traveling with two children under two.

So glad you enjoyed the house and that it met your needs. It is great for generational travelers as well as couples that want their own spaces. The deer enjoy the yard and in the late spring/early summer their babies are a delight to watch play. Hope you will come again!
Convenient location for us, we wanted a more quiet stay with easy access to the national park. Very nice, well maintained home, comfortable beds. Well equipped. Easy communication with host.

Very glad that my home met your needs, was convenient and comfortable. Thanks again for choosing my home for your family's stay. Come again!
Our family of 6 were very comfortable in this home. It had all the amenities we needed and the host was super helpful with local tips, etc. It is a short, easy drive to local attractions. Also a short walk to the nearby lighthouse. Peaceful property to relax inside or outside. Would definitely recommend!!
The property was beautiful and right outside of the entrance to the bass harbor lighthouse. Cute town about 10 minute drive and lots to do with Acadia national park so close!

I'm glad you and your extended family enjoyed your stay at my home enjoying the quieter side of MDI.
This was better than the listing portrayed! Well equipped for children, large gathering spaces, quiet, great communication with host, extremely clean. There really was nothing lacking. Would go back here in a heartbeat!

I'm happy you all found the house better than described. I will see about updating the description. Look forward to hosting you again!
We had an excellent stay at Tina’s house. The house was spacious and well appointed. The location was amazing, right by the lighthouse and a couple of trails, and town and plenty of places to eat. The host is great at communicating before what to expect and how to get in. It does seem like this is her house and she takes great pride in it, which is amazing but for us led to a somewhat uncomfortable experience. It was clear that there is a camera outside and she was watching it (got texts about how many cars there were and the people coming out of them) not too shocking but did make me feel watched. Then upon checkout (which we cleaned the house more thoroughly than usual and left exactly on time) I got more messages about a missing cup measure (which was later found in a different cupboard). It was clear she probably didn’t feel comfortable with people in her house which was fine but when paying to vacation somewhere I prefer to feel more welcome and relaxed. One other neutral note, not bad but just a note, lots of Christian messaging throughout the house, visible in photos so not a surprise, but there is a lot. Overall we had a great stay, and the area is amazing just some small things about the welcome and tone would have made us feel more comfortable.

I'm glad the house, location to things, and condition was great for you. I do live in the house on the off season. I've had a great experience w/guests and want the best stay for them, definitely no stress there. I'm sorry you were uncomfortable, not my intention. My time between renters is short and I did have to reach out to you to find a cup that was missing, still is (at no charge) and the dish w/treats for the next guest was on top of a cabinet, never would've found it so thanks for letting me know. I don't expect everything to be put away where I had it but I do put things back the way I like it as it's convenient and people don't have to open a lot of doors to find things. I want each renter to experience the clean welcoming home you had. As to the camera, I've had bad experiences w/people coming w/more than is registered and even brought pets that aren't allowed. I don't use it the whole stay just the first day to confirm who is arriving. Your registration was for 4 adults and 2 kids. You in fact had 4 adults and 4 kids. My house is set for 6 people. I thought we resolved the issue comfortably. I'm sorry that the religous verses bothered you. Most people never comment and some even appreciated the peace they felt there. I hope that your family had a good time away and I would welcome you back again.
Nice clean home with ample space for four (or more) friends. Host communicated well.

I'm work hard to keep a clean house, glad you found it as that. The house gives a great opportunity for 2 couples to have private living space. I truly want people to feel at home and do my best to answer concerns promptly. Come again!
We were blessed to have found a perfect place to stay for our vacation. House was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed during our stay. We were just a short drive to Bar Harbor and many other places we wanted to visit. Hoping this home will be available the next time we visit Maine. Thank you for letting us rent from you!

We are so glad you found the home clean and had everything you needed. There is a lot to do along the drive to Bar Harbor. Glad the location worked for you and near the places you wanted to go. You were wonderful guests and took great care of our home. We would love to have you stay again w/us. You are always welcomed back.
This house is in a great location in a very quiet area but not to far for trips to Acadia and Bar Harbor. It also has the Bass Harbor Headlight within walking distance from the house. It is very spacious with 4 bedrooms and great basement.

Very nice home in Bass Harbor with lots of room
To spread out. We enjoyed this spot so much last year that we stayed here again this year. Oh, and steaks and split lobsters over the wood fire out back! Glorious!

Thank you for coming back and enjoying the space of the house both inside and out.
We very much enjoyed our stay here -- the house is spacious, clean, quiet, and exactly as described. We loved roasting marshmallows over the firepit and sitting on the back deck, either with the birds for coffee in the morning or watching the sun set over the trees in the evening. We love the quieter side of the island and hope to be back!

I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. There is something to be said about peace and quiet. The house is definitely on the quieter side of the island and yet not that much of a travel. How can you not love the opportunity to have a marshmallow while seeing the sun set. Come again.
About the host
Hosted by Tina
I love the quiet of my home and the nature around me. Close to the excitement in Bar Harbor but far enough away to be out of the crazy busyness. I grew up and have lived here my whole life. I live here on the island's off season. I pay attention to detail and hope you find that true of the cleanliness of the home. I hope that you will enjoy this home and will want to come back to explore more of this beautiful island, and feel at home.
Why they chose this property
This property is in a quiet neighborhood. You can walk to the Light house to catch a sunset or a quick drive to Seawall to watch the ocean waves and a sunrise. There are two, fairly easy, trails close by. This house is very functionable for 2 to 6 people and plenty of space to spread out and have your own place. The outdoor yard is big and has chairs to just sit and read a book or relax and just breathe. It is comfortable, clean and has a great back deck.
What makes this property unique
You can often sit on the back deck and hear the lobster boats returning from their days catch. Catching a fresh salty breeze from time to time on a lounge chair is my favorite. Now you can see the ocean through the trees and catch the sunset as it sets in the sky. Your can walk and enjoy the lighthouse w/out the hassle of finding a parking place. Walk down around the town to see the ferry coming and going from Swans Island and enjoy a meal at a local restaurant. It has a split level to have separation between 2 small families. There are often deer that lay in the back, sometimes w/their fawns.
