We had a wonderful stay. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the hot tub was needed after the full days of hiking and bike riding through Acadia. The kitchen was very well appointed, although we never cooked dinner as we enjoyed the Bar Harbor restaurants - More local to the house, be sure to check out the Sea Ketch restaurant… it was delicious. We were only home for one sunset, but it was lovely. Also we highly recommend sailing out on the schooner Margaret Todd, a Cessna flight through Scenic Tours of Acadia and biking the Carriage Roads. We highly would recommend the property and all that Acadia has to offer.

This house is great. The property is excellent. The indoor pool was a hit. Check-in was very easy. Quiet neighborhood. 25-30 minutes to downtown Bar Harbor. One minor item is you cannot change the temperature in the house. It is set to 77. Too warm on a hot day. But once things cooled down the breeze through the house is great with the windows open. I would absolutely rent again.

Amazing Family House for Acadia adventures

Huge house and grounds with plenty of room to spread out. Quiet wooded area with lots of amenities, we especially loved the pool and hot tub with hiking every day it was a great way to unwind. Additionally the basement game area led to many highly competitive games of air hockey, ping pong, and pool. So quiet in the mornings we could hear the leaves falling and saw deer just crossing the yard. Big kitchen completely fitted out for anything you wanted to cook. We stuck with breakfast and snacks and hit many local restaurants, Thurston’s, Peter Trouts, and Quietside snacks! Hit both sides for hiking Acadia and some trips to Bar Harbor but really loved being on the quieter side of the island! Perfect house for families or several couples. We definitely recommend this property and can’t wait to come back!

Host profile image
A little about our family first my name is Michelle but most people call me Shelley my husbands name is Ricky and we have two young children Cooper who is 13 and Bentley who is 11 I grew up just a mile from this property and my husband is from Ellsworth which you drive through to get to the property. I went to MDI high school where I was part of 3 basketball state championships and then graduated from Maine Maritime Academy where I was known for playing basketball as well. I now work for Margo Stanley Real Estate as a associate broker and my husband and I own our own businesses Miles Motorsports & Complete Car Care which is located in Hancock. Ricky also worked for Morrison Chevrolet for 18 years which is now Darlings Chevrolet in Ellsworth. Rick went to Ellsworth High School where he was a part of 2 soccer state championships. As you can see we are a very busy family when we are not working we are with our family Rick is a Shriner and is part of the Nascar unit of Ellsworth so we go camping a lot to help raise money for the shine hospital. We love being outside ice fishing, snowmobiling, boating, all water and land sports we just love. I would love to answer anything anyone would like to know about me and my family.

Why they chose this property

We love this property our children always have things to do and so do we. It is very peaceful we are in the middle of 23 acres of woods it is quiet.

What makes this property unique

indoor pool, hot tub, basketball court, swing set, volleyball court, peace and quiet, covered and not covered porch there is just no one to bother you when your at the property. But still close to everything you would want to do on MDI our property borders parts of acadia national park.
