Beautiful home! Excellent location to Acadia National Park. The owners have done an outstanding job at making their home inviting to guest. As many places as we’ve traveled, never have we’ve been greeted by so many extras. Snacks on the table, coffee, sugar, creamer, spices. Would recommend this place to anyone! When we come back to Maine, this will be our spot again! Thank you!

Beyond what I had imagined! House was very comfortable - we had everything we would have hoped for and more. Close to acadia but peaceful and pleasant that we could relax and kayak right off the dock.
