Wonderful

We had three generations in the home. All enjoyed the stay. Kids loved the pool. Being on the “quiet” side of the island was a nice reprieve from the bustle of the east side. Loved being part of the woods.
The house was everything we wanted plus the indoor pool. It was perfect for our trip. We were able to easily prepare meals in the kitchen and had a great time swimming .
The home location was beautiful for a family vacation and the kids had a wonderful time swimming after long days of hiking. The home was overall nice but could use a bit more updating and landscape attention.
We thoroughly enjoyed this house. It was in a quiet, rural area. The house and view were beautiful. We enjoyed the large beautiful indoor pool and hot tub. Perfect to sit outside on the large deck or enjoy a bon fire.
Great property. Grandkids & adults loved the pool! It was a relaxing & refreshing way to end each day after enjoying excursions in Acadia & Bar Harbor. The house was a perfect fit for our family of 11.
House was very nice and such a great stay. Kids loved the private pool, I did as well. Went for a ride around Acadia park and saw some beautiful scenery. Would stay again if we get the chance
Enjoyed the stay at this home, especially the swimming pool. Had all the conveniences needed for six seniors. Enjoyed the lobster restaurants in our area and the pretty scenery. Thanks again for a great stay.
We had a wonderful trip! This property is just as pictured and so large. There are plenty of beds and areas to hang out. The indoor pool is AMAZING for the kids. Just an all around fantastic property!
We enjoyed our stay overall. The main floor is beautiful and looks receently remodeld. The upper floor is like stepping back in time several decades. It definitely could use an update, but it did not detract from our stay. The pool was nice to have, but ran colder than we expected. The owner did stop by to increase the temp, but it didn't stay above 78 most of our stay, so a little too cold for the adults in our group. The teenagers all enjoyed it. The highlight was the jetted tub. Its large enough to comfortably fit two adults and was awesome to relax in at the end of the day. Overall would recommend this place for a family.
Nice big house . Room for everyone. Fire pit. Pool. Not far from Acadia National Park. Beautiful house. Bottom half remodel. It’s going to look really good when the rest gets done. Would come back !!
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The main floor is nicely renovated. The kitchen is spacious, but very limited in cooking/dining supplies and equipment. Ample fans for warmer weather. Many of the windows were difficult to open/close. The upstairs is also spacious, but quite dated, and could use some attention (ie ripped linens, missing window screens). The kids adored the pool! We loved the quiet of the home and the area.
Great place…very clean. We had a bat in the house when we came home from hiking on the second night that we stayed there. Before we got it out (alive) I called Ricky and left a message that we have a bat in his house but no return message or call or text. Not that he could really do anything about it but I thought he should know.
We LOVED this Vrbo! It was so homey and so calm. And cozy. It was well kept and clean. maybe some more diversity in pots and pans :) but we loved the pool and Jakuzzi, and all the cozy rooms! Already been bragging about this place :) 10/10
Quiet area with things to see and do. The pool was heated and very clean. A nice place overall.The kitchen needs better stocking as it does not have ample cookware, dish cloths, good silverware, sharp knives, and it has a small coffee pot.
The house was nice and big for our group of 7. The downstairs was nicely remodeled, but the upstairs, while very clean, felt like you were stepping into another era, but it worked. The weather was comfortable during our stay so we didn't mind the fans and open windows at all. However, more windows needed screens or screens that did not have holes in them. We used the pool a little but for the crowd we had, it was a bit cold and could have been a few degrees warmer to be able to really enjoy it.
We loved the location and the out of the way feel. Almost every day we saw deer and a family of turkeys around the house. We loved the close little lobster place just around the corner that you are able to walk to. It was so convenient and an excellent place to eat.
The only negatives we would give would be the kitchen could use some better cooking utensils, can opener (which barely worked) and knives. The stove has some minor issues but we got it to work okay. We did need to wash one of the bed coverings when we arrived but otherwise everything was very clean.
We would recommend this location and would go back if we visit Maine again.
My family (me, my husband and our young kids--10 month old and 5yr old) rented this out and were joined by friends with young kids. The house was large, plenty of space for us to spread out and have our own space. The porch was a source of endless fun for the kiddos (and peaceful place in the early morning) and so was the pool. The babies werent big pool fans because the water temp was just a bit too cold, but they did love splashing around in the jacuzzi tub.
The kitchen had everything we needed and we utilized it for most meals (not a ton of places to eat nearby and we were there in the off season). We loved grilling out and made smore s at the firepit almost every night. We appreciated the dinnerware for the younger kids, pool floats, as well as the blackout curtains in each room.
The property managers were super responsive, replying usually within an hour qnd answering all questions.
Finally, the location lives up to the name being on quietside, but its just 20-30 minutes to the bar harbor area and we found enough things to do, eat and see nearby (seal cove, echo lake, bass harbor lighthouse, quietside snacks) that it was really a perfect location. Highly recommend.
Had a great time the week after Christmas with my family and some close family friends at this property. Although the weather wasn't great which was to be expected in late December, the kids loved the indoor pool. The pool area was warm and had plenty of furniture to hang out while the kids swam. The first floor of the house is well updated and the kitchen, dining area and living room are open and great for entertaining. The main bedroom was good size with two large closets and plenty of storage. Just outside of the main bedroom is a common bathroom with tub/shower. There is a small guest bedroom with twin bunk beds that worked well for younger kids. The second floor has two additional bedrooms and a bathroom that were a bit outdated but functional. There was an additional bedroom/office area and bath with laundry between the main first floor area and the pool. There is a large deck off of the kitchen and dining area that seems newer and overlooks the yard. There was also a grill on the deck. It seems that they were many recent additions to the kitchen including an air fryer, plenty of pots and pans and all of the necessary utensils. It was a relatively short drive to Acadia and different parts of the Maine coastline. Very highly recommend!!!
In summary: We would not stay here again at the price we paid (over $2,000 for 3 nights, including nightly rate plus host fee, service fee, and taxes).
This is of course just our experience/opinion. Your experience may vary.
What we liked: Indoor pool, black-out curtains in bedrooms (except one window you're not allowed to touch that has wood blinds), good mattresses, nice location.
What was concerning/we did didn't like: Overall, the place had a veneer of update/reno on the main floor, but so many flaws when you live there for a few days. The dishwasher frame comes out of the counter when you're loading the drawers. There is no lint trap in the dryer, so there's a ton of old lint stuck to the dryer door (and feels like a fire hazard??). The sensor on the dryer does not work (thought a load was dry after less than 5 minutes), but you can used the timed dry no problem. There was a light out in the bathroom. Some dishes in the cabinets were dirty (not the host's fault necessarily). The cleaner arrived at 10:50am on our check-out day telling us check-out was at 10am, although the listing and all of my VRBO confirmations/communications listed 11am. My husband had to fix a toilet that was continuously running.
Bottom line, it just didn't seem like it was worth what we paid for it. Oh well.

Unhappy and missled
Our family was very disappointed in this site! First we had no air conditioning which was not mentioned in the listing! Next I was assured by the host that the pool temperature was 84 degrees upon arriving it was not. I had to call the host and she sent a plumber out two days later. It never did get warm but kids can make due! It also said in listing it had a hot tub which is just a spa tub in bathroom. The upstairs is very old!!!! Spiders everywhere and the bathroom very unsafe! Shower floor sunk every time we stepped into it. Dirty carpet on floor and not all the sheets were clean so we had to launder them. Stove oven took 45 minutes to warm and being a gas stove we were quite leery of it. They offer a grill to use but when we went to grill it was out of gas. Yes we could have got some more but town was 30 minutes away! Pictures are very misleading and for this price, way too expensive! Bunkbed room is no larger than a closet and with no window so extremely hot! Double bedroom with a trundle has people walking through to go to pool! It was a bad experience and I hope the host will make some major improvements!
A wonderful location for a trip of 5 women. We leveraged all of the amenities—yoga on the deck, swimming after our hikes, and fires by the pot to end the day.
The property was brilliant but we couldn’t find the towels but did eventually in the tumble dryer and we couldn’t find the dishes and cutlery but again found them in the dishwasher. But the property and amenities were fantastic
