This was the perfect place in the wood, accross from a quiet pond, with a perfect path along the waters edge. My family of 6 found this to be the perfect retreat as we explored Acadia. Very clean house, with clear and simple communication from the host.

The home is in the perfect location for a weekend of hiking in Acadia. The proprietor Chase was friendly and responsive and the home was as advertised, clean and comfortable for three adults. There was a gorgeous backyard with plenty of seating to take in the nature and review the days activities. Highly recommend.

A true hidden gem on Mount Desert Island! Our family of five found this property to be the perfect fit for all our needs. It’s just a short drive to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, yet far enough away from the noise and congestion to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing stay.The property was comfortable, well-suited for our family, and the host was incredibly attentive and communicated exceptionally well throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better location or experience. Highly recommend!

Beautiful house and grounds. Chasehouse SpiritRock is a perfect, central location for exploring Acadia. We spent our days driving the loop, hiking Beech and Cadillac Mountains and just catching up with our friends. And eating – highly recommend Abel’s Lobster around the corner! The gas fireplace was a huge hit too; this home has a nice layout for two couples with the basement bedroom, bath and den area separated from upstairs main living space. Lovely decks for dawdling - we saw a buck and his does, cutest chipmunks and tons of birds out SpiritRock's windows; the sunlight streaming in all the windows makes this an idyllic home. Thank you Bart for sharing your lovely home.

This was the most lovely location, away from the hustle & bustle of Bar Harbor but still close enough when we wanted to do the obligatory visit. We visited mid/late October and the foliage was beautiful. Host provided some great restaurant recommendations.

Another wonderful stay at ChaseHouse SpiritRock! Such a lovely home with everything needed for a comfortable, enjoyable stay. We have stayed here now twice with our two teens with plenty of room for everyone to spread out as well as gather together. After spending days exploring Mount Desert Island, it’s amazing to have a place to swim right down the street. Highly recommended stay!

Warm, spacious house

We were in Acadia for just a few days w a couple friends, so wanted convenience and comfort. The house is centrally located, in a peaceful wooded setting across from a lake, and was spotless. Enjoyable stay!

Perfect Maine Vacation

My wife and two young children loved it here! Wonderful outdoor space to enjoy the weather and beauty of Maine. The swimming spot across the road is magic. The house is perfectly clean and it was easy to feel at home. Robert and Bart gave lots of recommendations to put the experience over the top. Really really nice time.

Peaceful seclusion by the pond

What a fantastic property! The lush landscaping greets you as you pull into the long driveway. This house is secluded but close enough to feel connected to everything. We enjoyed the house and made several full meals in the kitchen. Sat outside and watched the birds, lightning bugs, and endless stars. WE LOVED THE POND!!!

Perfect location

This was our first time visiting the Bar Harbor area and having this comfortable home to return to after our full days of exploring was perfect. The home is well situated close to downtown but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Some highlights: - communication from hosts was delightful and helpful in helping us to navigate the area and select where to eat and what to do; In fact, Ann went out of her way to mail our 5-yo's stuffed lobster that we thought was lost forever! We can't thank you! Disaster averted! - the house is right across from a beautiful swimmable pond with short hiking trails around it and accessible just a short walk from the house; - house is stacked with all necessities needed for a comfortable stay in an idyllic setting; We would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to explore the area.

Peaceful Property - highly recommend!

What a gift to be able to experience this property! Basics: very clean, bed was comfy, gas fireplace was super easy to use, Tv downstairs was a breeze to use, gas grill outside was easy to use, lots of seating areas outside, etc. We hiked the park every day using this home as a starting point. Good location and a great relaxing place to come back to every day! We especially loved our time on the deck surrounded by rhododendrons - you are on the road, but except during 'rush' hour, no cars or noise. We used all of the backyard seating areas each day and watched the trees change as the leaves progressed through the week. Lots of birds and deer. Loved the lavender by the table! The owners know what they are doing. This place was a delight! Obviously, if you are a gourmet chef, the kitchen is too small. But we cooked almost every night and had zero issues. We are very thankful to have had such a peaceful place to lay our heads each night. It was an amazing place to start and end each day!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The home was charming and cozy, yet it had plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own space. The kitchen was nicely stocked and had all the essentials. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were spacious enough you could move around. Although the house does not have AC, if you open the windows it cools down nicely. Being from Florida, no AC isn’t something we were used to, but the evenings were cool so it turned out nicely. The location was convenient to Acadia and Bar Harbor. We found it easy to navigate from there. The only issue we ever had was the water temperature would drop in one of the showers if they were both being used at the same time. Besides that small matter, it was a delightful stay.

The house was well equipped and very clean. The grounds were lovely and private, location was quiet and directly across the road from Somes Pond, Actually heard loons one evening. Great location to access all areas of ANP. The gas fireplace was cozy for a couple of cool evenings. Would stay again.

Lovely

We had a great time at the Chase House. The location can’t be beat - so close to Acadia which allowed us to do a lot of hiking and exploring. The house was comfortable and cozy for hanging out during stormy weather. Beautiful property and great communication from the owners. Highly recommend!

beautiful serene setting

We greatly enjoyed our two-week stay at ChaseHouse! The cottage was immaculate, beautifully laid out, with an up-to-date kitchen and long wood dining table, and comfortable living room and downstairs den. Great views, with lovely landscaped property, including outdoor table, deck, hammock, and rolling lawn with flowers and flowering trees. We enjoyed crossing the road to the small swimming launch at the top of Somes Pond. Occasional traffic from the nearby road (we'd prefer even more secluded) but largely quiet. Owners were extremely helpful, welcoming and responsive. A great find!
