The house was very conveniently located to Acadia and Bar Harbor, with ample room and was well stocked. Everything was very clean and the host was very easy to communicate with and friendly. Lighting in most rooms could have been a little more available and the air conditioning was only available in the master bedroom and one bedroom upstairs. We are from an area where we depend on air conditioning and our group was a little warm during the stay. Overall we enjoyed this location.

The home and the setting were both spectacular. We had ample space for our multigenerational family getaway and we’re all very comfortable. The kitchen area was a huge plus; enabling us to have big family meals together. The grounds were beautiful and we loved seeing the deer graze in the fields.

Amazing stay right outside Acadia!

This home was perfect for our family of 7 as home base for our adventures at Acadia national park. It was spacious and a very quiet area of the island, but also convenient to get to bar harbor and other spots. We were greeted by visiting deer each morning as we ate breakfast and looked out the windows on the beautiful property. Jen was great at checking in with us and communicating before checkin and checkout and the process was easy even though we didn’t arrive until 10 pm because of many stops on our drive up from Boston. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again!

Pastoral Maine

What a beautiful property to call home during our visit to MDI. It was about 20 minutes to every key destination. The local lobster house was delicious! We enjoyed the ferry to Cranberry Is and the hike to Bunker Cove, our visits to Thunder Hole, Cadillac Mtn and Schoodik Pt. The propery is perfect for star gazing! We saw the Milky Way and many shooting stars. The kitchen is wonderful as well as the grounds! We look forward to our trip back!

This was our last family get away of the summer before both our kids head off to college. The house was the perfect quiet getaway after days of exploring the area. We used the movie theatre every night for family night and we all loved the front porch where we gathered for coffee in the morning and in the evening for games and drinks. The place is spotless and I've never seen such a well equipped kitchen. We like to cook sometimes instead of going out and it had everything you could want or need to make a gourmet meal. check in procedure was super easy and communication was wonderful. 5 stars all around.

private renovated farmhouse

This farmhouse was very spacious, amazing huge kitchen all working appliances. The attention to detail was incredible (all cabinets labeled with contents). Great entertainment center on lower level, rows of recliners. Abundant wildlife, over dozen deer on property at night . Giant fireplace, outdoor porch, I'd go back again for sure. Property manager very responsive!

We really enjoyed staying at this home on Mount Desert during the 4th of July. It was within 30 minutes of everything there is to do and see at Acadia National Park, including Bar Harbor. There were some hidden gem hiking and swimming spots on the west side of the island where the house is located. Jen was a great host. The house has a beautiful kitchen and open space on the first floor for both of our familes to hang out in. The movie room in the basement was a great place to watch some World Cup games. The window AC units in the two primary bedrooms were life savers when sleeping as we were in Maine during an extreme heat wave. The house got very hot when the outside temperatures where in the uppers 80s to 90s. I'm sure like most Maine houses, there is no central AC as it would rarely be needed. Once the temperatures cooled down during the latter part of our stay, the house was very comfortable. We don't fault the homeowners for an abnormally hot spell during our stay. The property was well maintained and our 4 boys had a great time running around and playing in all the space. The house was fully supplied with everything you may need and the grill worked great for our cookouts. Thanks, Jen, for helping us enjoy a memorable vacation to Maine. We defintely recommend this spot.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're so glad Crooked Tree Farm was a great home base for both families. That open first floor and kitchen really are made for a group gathering and we love hearing the movie room got some World Cup action! That Fourth of July heat wave was truly historic and not what anyone expects from a Mount Desert Island summer vacation. We will continue expanding our AC capabilities as summers get warmer here. We're glad the latter part of your stay delivered the cool breezes the island is known for. Hope to have all of you back, you were wonderful guests!
