Summer in Acadia

We had a great week, the house is close to lots of hiking and a short drive to a few fun town areas. We had a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Joseph Knapp

Host profile image
Hello!

It's my pleasure to be your host and guide during your stay at Mount Desert Island. I was fortunate enough to visit MDI for the first time a few years ago and fell in love with the unique natural landscape. We strolled and dined in the cute bustling town of Bar Harbor, hiked the sprawling trails and vistas of Acadia, biked the old scenic carriage roads, and witnessed the large variety of wildlife and expansive rocky coastlines. There's something special for everybody here, and I'm very excited to share the experience with my future guests.

I'm a young entrepreneur - property manager, licensed electrician, and REI. I love hiking the great outdoors, playing board games, and I'm always seeking out new ways to improve and learn. You can expect full transparency and excellent communication. I hope my space and service will exceed your expectations!
