Perfect autumn escape, off the beaten path!
This spot was perfect for my wife and two kids while we visited Bar Harbor. Except for some very minor road noise, the spot was very quiet. Lots of deer graze in this area, which testifies to the serene atmosphere. Greg stopped by when we were outside to make sure things were going well. He was very kind and receptive to our little bit of feedback. We took advantage of the nice fire pit and roasted marshmallows around the fire. Overall the property is well equipped for a small family getaway and convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park (less than 20 minutes to either). We would definitely stay here again!

Clean, Quiet Centrally Located Property
The place was exceptionally clean and new. The kitchen was great, and the beds were very comfortable. It's very simple and nice. I also liked the location as Mt. Desert is a big island, so being centrally located meant we could go any direction and be where we wanted to be within 15 minutes.
