Cute little house away from the Bar Harbor mess. Host clearly loves the area and provides a wealth of useful information. House is immaculate and in like new condition. Very nicely decorated and well equipped. Only negative is the the two stair cases are steep and would not be a good choice for someone with limited mobility.

What a fantastic property. Peaceful part of Acadia, right on an estuary. Super clean, thoughtfully supplied, and beautifully curated design. I visited with my husband and adult son, and we were comfortably situated for almost 2 weeks. Nice low-key local eateries, plus a ton of great recommendations for things to see and do from our host!

Beautifully curated in such a quaint location! Many VRBOs are nice enough in convenient places, but THIS place is special. The furnishings and decor give a European simple elegance, but the spot is SO Maine! We enjoyed the few local spots and proximity to nature…truly fantastic place to unplug for a while!
View from the back door, tide coming in.
Best ice cream around!
View at low tide.
Live music every Tuesday was lovely! The foods and brews were too.
