My friends and I had a group trip (6 adults, 2 dogs) to Maine, and we absolutely loved our stay. It was really nice to find a pet friendly spot. The VRBO was an easy 30-40 minute drive to the spots in Acadia we wanted to check out. The home was easy to get to and had more than enough space for us. We loved eating around the large dining table.

Our stay was wonderful. House is as described, and area is so convenient to Bass Harbor activities. Most places in Acadia or Bar Harbor are within 30-40 minutes. Would definitely like to stay here again.

Glad we were able to provide you with an enjoyable stay. Having many available Acadia park hikes and activities nearby on the "Quietside" is a positive when one doesn't wish to drive around the island every day. We'd be happy to host you again.
--Bob & Mary
We had a great visit to the Acadia area. This property was well located on the quiet side of MDI but near plenty of dining, hikes, etc. Bob and Mary were very easy to communicate with and the house met our expectations.

Hi Susan-Nice to know everyone had a great stay including the canine members of the family. We strive to provide a comfortable and accommodating home for every member of the travelling party. Please consider us again in the future. Best, Bob & Mary
The house was big and roomy. We loved the outdoor fireplace and the convenience to Acadia and Bar Harbor. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys hiking, rock climbing or even just scenic walks. The lake was not too far and was very emjoyable.

Hey Kathleen-
Glad to hear you were able to enjoy the property to its' fullest extent. Sounds like you also were able to take in many of Acadia's most popular activities, and yes having a warm water swimming spot so close by is a big plus! Thanks for the kind review and please let us know when you're ready to return!!
We had a great stay at the house. It was clean and had everything we needed. It is close to Acadia National Park and is just down the road from the Bass Harbor Lighthouse. The neighborhood is quiet and spread out. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for your kind review. Having the Lighthouse so close is a definite plus and we enjoy going down there often ourselves. Glad to hear you'd consider returning.
This home has all the items you’ll need for your trip to MDI! The house was clean and spacious, and the three bathrooms were fantastic for five adults. We enjoyed the fire pit and layout of the home. We would absolutely consider spending a vacation here again.

Nice spot that was perfect for 8 adults. The kitchen and dinning room were the perfect layout of family dinners and cooking together. Bass Harbor is a nice little walk down the road and a great little working harbor. We had a great time.

We were glad to learn that our home met your expectations and your group enjoyed the area so much. Travelling from across the country to meet up with friends in Acadia makes for the perfect reunion. We would be very happy to entertain you and/or your friends again at a future time and wish you all the best...
Regards, Bob & Mary
We just returned from a long weekend spent in beautiful and scenic Bass Harbor, Maine. Our hosts, Bob and Mary could not have been more hospitable. They checked in without being obtrusive and their house is well-appointed with everything a guest could need. We were very comfortable there and everyone was happy. I highly recommend this house and these hosts.

This is a beautiful home with all the amenities you could ask for. It was sparkling clean with plenty of room. The children especially enjoyed the downstairs with foosball table. The home is close to the ocean and we took a family nature boat cruise out of the harbor on a beautiful sunny afternoon. We would definitely stay her again.

Nice to hear from you! Thank you very much for your positive review. Glad you had the opportunity to get out on the water which provides a nice alternative perspective of the island and its surroundings. We'd be happy to host you again in the future. All our best, Bob & Mary
Everything about this property was perfect! Location, amenities, cleanliness, communication with owner, etc! The house was perfect for my family including my 2 young children. 40 min drive to Acadia was very doable. The owner provide great communication and always made sure everything was perfect! Would rent again in a heartbeat!

Hi Emily-Thank you for your very positive review. We always strive to provide the best possible experience for our guests. Hopefully you were also able to explore some of the closer areas of the park which are just 10-15 mins. away and often less frequented but equally beautiful! We hope to see you again....Bob & Mary
We had a great time. The house was clean and felt nice and homey. We all loved the bedrooms and having three bathrooms. It had everything we needed. We had a great time hiking different trails, kayaking, and taking lots of pictures. It is so pretty. We loved sitting on top of Cadillac Mountain and watching the sunrise.

Thank you for the kind review. We were glad to hear our home suited your parties' needs and you found it comfortable. We're going to have to do that Cadillac sunrise one of these days. After 17 years and too many sunsets to count I think it's time to listen to others and see the sun on the other side of the mountain. Thanks for the advise!
Or stay was peaceful, the neighborhood is quiet and hard to see through the trees. Bass Harbor hasn’t changed much over the years compared to much of the island. The house is bigger than it looks in the photos and provided five of us with two dogs great accommodations for the long weekend. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Hello Wally-
Thanks for taking a moment to comment on your stay. The relaxed setting is what brought us to Bass Harbor as well...yet close enough to all the activity of the park. Nice to know you'd consider a return visit. Be well!
The house was perfect for our needs: 3 couples with varying interests--we hiked, biked, swam, sauntered, shopped, and of course ate, finding everything we needed at the house! Thanks.

Our stay in Bass Harbor could not have gone any better. A beautiful large house that easily accommodated our 6 adults. The house is much larger than it appears in pictures, with all the amenities you will need. Our communications with Bob were excellent. Bob was a wealth of information on advising us things to do on our short stay. The only issue we had was the stay was too short!!! Thank you, Bob and Mary, for being such great hosts.
The vacation house is in an excellent location, very private and pretty surroundings. The deck and backyard are lovely with nature abounding . The house is spacious with all the comforts of home . Clean and comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked . The owner was accommodating and very nice to work with . I highly recommend this house for groups of up to 10.

We're so glad you were able to travel and see this wonderful part of Maine under the current circumstances. It's truly a relaxing environment and we're happy that the home met your expectations. Thank you for your kind words and best wishes to your family.
Communication with Bob, the property owner, was excellent and made the entire process extremely easy. The property was modern, clean and well stocked with anything you may need during your stay including equipment to cook lobster and seafood boils. The life safety features of the property to include well labeled emergency shut-offs, compliant smoke detection, and accessible fire extinguishers added peace of mind. Overall, an excellent experience!

An excellent stay for 7 adults. House was as described online. Bob was responsive and we took advantage of his supply of firewood. We also used one of his bikes for one of our several bike rides. The local Seafood Ketch restaurant was great for lunch and dinner. Cadillac Mountain was a highlight. Hikes were pretty much everywhere. Bar Harbor was extremely busy with parking difficult to find.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. We were pleased to hear everything went well and you were able to make good use of several of the provided amenities that are offered. Sounds as if you had a busy few days, and yes having the "Ketch" within walking distance is an added bonus!
Regards,
Bob & Mary
The property owner was very responsive and the home was comfortable and equipped with everything for a perfect stay. We loved Bass Harbor. There were sights and activities to take advantage of, but not touristy. The home's location provided quick and easy acces to Acadia NP. Our family of 5 ((plus a puppy) had plenty of room; the home was thoughtfully equipped with careful attention to details. We appreciated all the amenities (including the puppy) for a memorable visit. The hosts even provided a rack full of brochures describing things to do and places to see..... very thoughtful! We will plan to return!

Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments and review of your stay. We're glad you found the house suitable and quite comfortable given the size of your traveling party. Also good to know that there was plenty of hot water for all (hadn't really thought too much about that issue for a group of your size but I guess we don't need to be concerned). Sorry there were a few unwanted pests in the area, but that can happen during the mid-summer period in coastal Maine. I'll be sure to speak with our lawn service about possible remediation if we receive further comments (yours was the first mention) on this issue and if it can be safely managed given that we are a pet-friendly property. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and our best wishes to your family.
