Pefect!
This was the perfect little spot for our weekend in Bar Harbor and Acadia! Everything was a 15-20 min drive. The house was set back off the main road but you can still hear the busy traffic at times. My only complaint is that the shower was TINY and there is no where to put your shampoo, soap, etc in the shower itself.

The house was exactly what was listed. It was very clean and comfortable for our whole family. The property is in close proximity to all the tourist areas. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again in the future!!

Perfect location to explore Acadia NP
Property was as expected & clean and the owner was responsive to us during our stay. Just far enough away from the hustle of Bar Harbor yet close enough to visit & appreciate the small village. Acadia National Park wS our main destination & didn't disappoint!

Wonderful vacation
This property was extremely nice and the property was even nicer than the photos showed. The kitchen was well stocked (there was even a crockpot!), the washer/dryer were huge, the dining room sat all 6 of us with ease, and the fire pit/large back yard was fun to play at. Everything was provided - shampoo/conditioner, laundry soap, garbage bags, etc. We drove into Acadia every day - it was worth the extra drive to have a nice home to come back to! The only struggle for a family our size was that the bathroom was small and there was only one, BUT the bathroom was very well decorated and the shower was fantastic. My wish for the place would be newer towels (they looked very worn) and a griddle in the kitchen. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Incredible stay in an incredible house
We loved our time at this property! So much room and perfectly clean. It was great to feel so secluded and still close to everything we wanted to do. The backyard and top deck are gamechangers for a morning coffee or letting pups run around. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking during the week. Lastly, the property owners were incredibly nice, responsive, and flexible. Will be coming back soon!

Looks just like the listing
This is a very nice and private property with location fitting folks who wants to be able to visit both bar harbor and schoodic peninsula. There are quite a few lobster theme restaurant nearby and also a couple of supermarket. The house looks exactly like the listing. My family and I will be staying here again!

Great location and private setting
Short drive to most everything. The house has a huge upstairs bedroom with a nice deck off of it. The overall set up is good and the setting is private. No AC downstairs but the weather was cool so no issues for us. The AC upstairs was loud, but it worked. Nice tile shower but it is small. If you are a larger person this could be less than ideal.
