Cozy little place tucked away in the woods but a short 10-15 minute drive from pretty much anything. The place was clean and had everything we could ask for, the owners were very responsive and willing to work with us when our trip situation changed.

This was a wonderful property for us in terms of the privacy but not too far from everything.The beautiful outdoor deck with the table top fire pit which we used every night, the closeness to the park and to Bar Harbor, and a very well-stocked home that you needed nothing. Additionally, we text the owners on two occasions and they got back to us immediately. I would highly recommend staying here and I want to thank them for sharing their home with us. We found it to be a privilege to stay there. Definitely would stay there again.

House was beautiful! House had everything we needed and more! Very clean and up to date! Owners were great to deal with. We saw that there was only an AC in the primary bedroom so we took along small fans, which worked great! Would love to stay there again!

Loved the house, kitchen was very well stocked and we needed for nothing. Location was central and everything was only about 15 minutes drive away. It was chilly and we were disappointed that the fireplace in the livingroom didn't work. The grill also wasnt working but with the great kitchen we did fine. Best part of all was the fresh lobster our host brought us. He is a lobsterman and sold the lobster he cought that day for a great price.

Our stay was perfect except for the fact we couldn’t stay longer. The house and property were exactly how they were pictured and was the most well stocked & equipped home we have ever stayed at. The peacefulness outside whether it was on the porch in the morning or near the firepit in the evening was exactly what I hoped for. Annette and Jim were fantastic hosts and very easy to get in touch with and responsive.

Perfect Acadia base camp

The central location made getting to any sections of the park on MDI a breeze. Being set back into the woods while also close enough to walk to a playground and a few other little amenities was a nice bonus for our young family! Add in the well-equipped kitchen and overall cozy property and I can't imagine a better place to stay for our daughters' first National Park experience!
