I would not rent or suggest this property for anyone. The house itself had lots of room but so many things that were lacking. The amount paid for the house was not worth what the property presented. The steep stairs were a hazard waiting to happen. Very dangerous for older people, not for me but to each his own.

We had a wonderful stay in a fun place. It was also very central to everything we did in and around Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.The house was clean and we'll maintained for its age. We didn't realize that the room with three beds was also the theater, but it still worked out.The kitchen was a little funky with two small refrigerators instead of one larger one. And the dishwasher was on the opposite side of the kitchen from the sink. But it was clean and everything worked.The owners were very responsive. We'd go back.

Doug & Rose were great about responding to our questions and requests in advance of our stay. The house was perfect for our extended family. The teens and kids had a blast in the movie/bedroom. Despite how old the house is, the floors did not creak at all! The backyard was adorable. Would highly recommend for your stay near Bar Harbor.

Very nicely and stylishly renovated old building. Gorgeous pond behind the property. Bathrooms are particularly well done. Comfortable beds. We stayed with 2 adults and 6 teens and it was perfect for this blend of ages. There is a hot tub and it worked very well. Location is ideal for a mix of time in the park, Bar Harbor and other adjacent areas. This property might be a challenge for families with older adults or very young children since there are a lot of steep stairs.

This is the PERFECT house for a bigger group. We had 13 people (4 families) and we all had our own ample space in the house. Plenty of bathrooms. It was extremely well-equipped. The owners truly thought of everything for all age groups. We had a 19-month old all the way up to a 70 year old, and everyone had everything they needed. Very cute with tons of character. The best setting for our family vacation.

Great House in a Beautiful Place

The house was great, spacious and fun. The neighborhood was beautiful, including running water and a walkable And quiet cemetery/brook behind the house. The owners did everything I can imagine to make the home helpful and accommodating, including many small details throughout. It was a great home away from home. The location is very central to Mt Desert Island / Arcadia National Park.

This location cannot be beat. And as a bird, wildlife and nature lover I liked that the back yard is a wildlife sanctuary. My yard at home has this designation also. Plenty of room for all of us and we had a wonderful week. Doug and Rose were always spot on in their replies. Very good managment.Thanks, Jackie

The overall stay was excellent. Communication from the host was prompt and helpful. Check in and check out processes were straightforward and enumerated well.The home itself is right on the main drag, but quiet, especially given the age of the building. It has all of the charms you might expect from a home/business that had been built in the mid 1800s.There were tons of places to sleep, including the whole third floor, a bedroom on the second level with the kitchen and living area, and multiple sleeping options on the first floor, which was also the main entertainment area.Our children very much enjoyed the shuffleboard, air, hockey, and the theater room. The hot tub and charming backyard area were lovely. The location is convenient to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, as well as other regional attractions. This is a great option for a family, or group of families, who want somewhere to stay that isn’t in the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor but still close enough to everything there is to do regionally.
