Escape the Bar Harbor crowds for your sanctuary on the peaceful "Quiet Side" of Mount Desert Island. This sprawling upstairs retreat offers a massive layout set among the woods. The floor plan features a primary suite with a luxurious king bed and soaking tub, a cozy full bedroom, and a third room with two twins. A second full bathroom with a tub/shower provides essential convenience for families traveling with children. Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife; the backyard is home to several apple trees that attract deer in droves, offering a front-row seat to nature right from your windows. Step out onto your private wooden deck—the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening stargazing among the trees. Your stay is completely private with a dedicated entrance via the deck stairs, while your hosts live in the separate downstairs unit and fully respect your quiet enjoyment of the property. Inside, you will find a full kitchen, a dedicated laundry room, and fast Wi-Fi. Outside, the property features a massive gravel turnaround with ample parking for multiple vehicles or gear like kayaks and trailers. After a day of exploring nearby Acadia National Park trails or kayaking at Seal Cove Pond, you can unwind at your private fire pit area to roast marshmallows under the stars. This is the ultimate home base for exploring the island’s best-kept secrets with all the comfort and space of a full-sized residence.

We loved it stay at the quiet side! The island itself was bigger than we anticipated so it took about 20 minutes or so to get where we wanted, but it's certainly isn't an issue. The place was clean, beds were comfortable, details were perfect. We would definitely stay here again.
Fantastic 3/2 home! Went to Maine for a girls trip and this property was perfect. Incredibly clean property in a very quiet location, and was a short drive to everything. The host, Ashley, was extremely responsive to all my inquiries. You couldn’t ask for a better host. I would definitely stay at this location again.
This is a great property. We stayed for a long weekend and found it to be well equipped with kitchen items. It was clean, quiet and private. It's about a 25 minute drive to Bar Harbor. This was not an issue for us, as we prefer to stay in the less busy areas of MDI and there are various points of access to Acadia. The hosts add a lot of nice touches that you dont always find at other places. The grill was cleaned and maintained with nice for no extra cost. There was wood provided for the fire pit and a welcome basket to full of s'mores items, bug spray and a citronella candle, etc. most of the rooms had an air conditioner for when it got warm in the middle of the day. I would definitely recommend this property as it offers a lot and was fairly priced.
We absolutely loved our stay here! The property was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. The thoughtful touches were especially appreciated—from the bug spray provided to the fire pit with wood. We also loved the s’mores supplies, which made for a perfect evening experience.One of our favorite memories was sitting by the fire, gazing at the star-filled sky while watching fireflies dance across the field. We were even treated to sightings of deer, which made the setting feel truly special and peaceful.This was a wonderful place to relax and unwind, and we would happily stay here again. Highly recommend!
