My family of six loved staying at A Stones Throw! The location and property were excellent! The host Jenny is so nice and communicates great! We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful Seal Harbor home. The host was really nice to talk to and always prompt in communicating with us. The space was perfect for our family of five with plenty of room to spread out. Great kitchen, and everything in the house felt new, comfy, and super clean. The house was open and airy and very pleasant to hang out inside (and on the back patio) even though we were mostly outside hiking in Acadia. Seal Harbor is the perfect location for exploring the park! Really great house and stay. We will definitely stay here again!

We couldn’t have asked for a nicer, cleaner, more perfect place to stay. The kitchen is stacked with all kinds of cookware and plenty of plates/dishes. There were beach towels for us to use. The host was great! She communicated promptly and gave us suggestions for hikes. This was the perfect location for visiting Acadia National Park, a cute little neighborhood, and a short walk to Seal Beach.

Perfect Home Base for Exploring Acadia!!!We had a fantastic stay at this cottage and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Acadia National Park area. The host was exceptional—always responsive, helpful, and willing to share recommendations for activities, restaurants, local businesses, and the best ways to get around the island. Their tips and local knowledge helped us make the most of our week in Maine.The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. As a family of five, we found the layout perfect, with plenty of space to relax and unwind after long days of exploring. The kitchen was fully equipped, the bedrooms were comfortable, and amenities like the laundry room, sun porch, and outdoor dining area made it feel like a true home away from home.The location was ideal—close to Acadia National Park, hiking trails, carriage roads, and Seal Harbor Beach, while still being just a short drive from Bar Harbor. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would gladly return on a future trip to Maine.
