This home was perfect! Beautifully decorated, plenty of room to spread out, outdoor spots, and complete with everything we needed! This location worked well for day tours and away from the chaos of Bar Harbor. We took all of Nicole’s advice for tours, shopping & where to get local lobster for home cooking-and out….fabulous!I do not have any recommendations for improvement- we hope to be back soon! Thanks so much Nicole, what a great trip!!

The house is very spacious, comfortable, nicely appointed with care and away from the busyness of Bar Harbor and other communities. But there is great access into Acadia NP and around Mt Desert Island. Host Nicole communicates and responds promptly.

Fabulous house! Extremely spacious, clean, comfortable and well decorated. Hostess very communicative and accommodating. Very large comfy porch to hang out on along with a fire pit in the back. Super seafood restaurant (Archie’s) on the water less than half a mile away. Terrific area for hiking enthusiasts.

We had a great experience with “Drop Anchor.” Nicole, was a wonderful host and very communicative. The home was nicely furnished and very clean. The home was a nice size for our family of four. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park were a short driving distance away. We would highly recommend this home.

Fabulous Stay in Southwest Harbor Area

The home was very clean, tastefully decorated and perfect for our family meeting spot. Large dining table for dinner or board games. Very comfortable living room. Bedrooms were comfortable and well sized. Location was perfect for us as we like to avoid the crowds yet still be near the main attractions of Acadia. Owner quickly responded to any questions we had.

Weekend on MDI

My wife, daughter, our puppy and I had a wonderful visit at the Drop Anchor. The house is nicely furnished, very comfortable with room for everyone to spread out. The kitchen was spotless and well stocked. While on the quiet side of MDI, South Harbor with its shops and restaurants is only minutes away. Nicole was very helpful and made the whole process easy and comfortable.

Comfortable stay on MDI

We had such a wonderful stay at Nicole's house with our family and our pup. The house was very clean and well-stocked, with plenty of space for our group to spread out and relax. We loved being on the quiet side of the island and so close to delicious spots for lobster. We'd love to return!
