We had a great time staying at this property! It was really well appointed for our needs: 2 families with 6 kids aged 2-12. The highchair was clean (perhaps brand new), as was the crib. The hot tub and sauna were perfect for the cool fall nights. The large dining room table provided for comfortable family dining. The grill had no problem handling our steaks - nor did the expansive, fully stocked kitchen when it came to preparing other food. The fire pit (fire wood aplenty) created an opportunity for cooking marshmellows with the kids. The 'Better Homes and Garden' looking back yard was great for an after dinner stroll and tossing around the football. The back deck and the fall foliage was a dreamy spot to take enjoy a coffee early in the morning. I could go on!Overall, we were pleased and would definitely recommend this property and its host for someone looking for the ideal spot to explor Acadia or easily make your way into Bar Harbor. We hope to return one day!

Acadia and More

Home was spotless, cozy and well laid out. Plants abound inside and front yard. Kitchen had everything we needed. Linens and towels were provided. Easy check in, good communication with property manager. Master bedroom on main floor with a den/office/pullout couch. 2 bedrooms downstairs. One more appropriate for smaller kids. Beds a little small for adults. Plenty of space for our family of 5 including grown children. Pets allowed but no sign of smells or dander anywhere. Yard well manicured with plantings in full bloom. Adirondack chairs and fire pit were great. Plenty of firewood on hand from owners. House perfectly located to get to Acadia, Bar Harbor and west of MDI. We enjoyed the are tremendously and highly recommend this area and house.

Great home for a large group

Family and friends trip; we spent 5 days and 4 nights here. Plenty of space for the 11 of us (7 teenagers and 4 adults) and really comfortable. This home is conveniently located within 10-20 minutes of Bar Harbor, Acadia and all things outdoors. Hot tub, gas grill and fire pit were a great cap to every day.

Great time here

We had a great time at this property. Both the house and outside property was in perfect condition and stocked with anything we needed. The cinema room is great! The only thing to know is we found it very buggy. Bring lots of bug spray and you will be fine and have a great time.

The location of this property is very good

The location of this property is very good And is about 10 to 15 minutes to downtown Bar Harbor And Acadia National Park. The house is in good condition and the kitchen is fully stocked with a lobster pot and utensils to eat a lobster. The family area with the kitchen and family room is the best part of the house. There are three bedrooms. The fourth room that they consider a bedroom was not as private as my adult daughter would like so she moved to the game room had to move mattresses… So she wouldn’t have too much light early and that it was quieter for her when others stayed up late.

Wonderful Place to Stay

This is an excellent home for entertaining. The open concept living room, dining room and kitchen (and deck) create such a perfect space to get together with friends or family. The house was immaculate when we arrived and the check in process was a breeze. The beds and couches were insanely comfortable and made it hard to leave the comfort of the house. When you finally do leave, the house is centrally located for easy access to both sides of the island. Absolutely would stay here again!
