The coffee pot was very old and could use an update. Dishwasher door would not close. Had to wash by hand. Generous supply of toilet paper, towels, hand towels. Plenty of hot water. Beautiful scenery

Nice private place near Acadia
This place was great and private. Lots of windows but neighbors aren’t too close. It was very clean and cozy. About 45 minutes from Acadia and Bat Harbor made it near enough but not too in the city. Loved the place!

Acadia in the fall
Our first time in Acadia, chose this location for the fire pit and access to the park without paying the prices in Bar Harbor. It was about a 25 min drive to Acadia but the drive was scenic! About 10 mins from grocery store. The place itself was clean Kitchen was stocked with what we needed.

Great Place
Great place to stay, a bit hard to find at first because it is behind another house but once we figured that out, we fully enjoyed the place. About 30 minutes from Bar Harbor but with traffic, sometimes closer to an hour.
Very clean, had everything we needed. Would highly recommend if you are in the staying in the area.

Amazing Stay
The house was impeccable. It was as clean and as comfortable as home. A perfect spot for our family of four in town for a wedding and a trip to Acadia. The beds were comfortable, plenty of space for cooking/grilling and a beautiful outside setup. The owners thought of EVERYTHING down to little bottles of shampoo! We also really appreciated the washer in dryer. The location was perfectly off the beaten path and we enjoyed evenings stargazing. We enjoyed the proximity to several of Acadia's trails and to town. Thank you again for a perfect stay!
