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!
Stayed 4 nights in May 2026
