This space was clean, peaceful, and a great place for my family of 6 and our dog to call home while we were visiting Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. It was very easy to find, and had enough room for the entire family during our stay. The host was very warm, welcoming, and checked in often to make sure that we had everything we needed (and more) during our stay. Both homes on the property were thoughtfully designed, private, and had everything we needed (and everything else we didn’t think about, but ended up needing!) during our stay. We were very happy with the property and our host, and we look forward to returning whenever we are in the area again!

Awesome stay! House is perfect to accommodate a larger group. Plenty of space and the hot tub, fireplace, and yard games were a must have! Everything was extremely cleanly, and the house had everything one might need. Would always recommend!

What a great stay. The pictures don’t do it justice, especially the views from the kitchen/living area- the surrounding trees are so pretty. There is a convenience mart a 1 min drive from the house which was helpful. There is essentially a second “home” on the property with a bedroom, living room, full kitchen and bath. This was great for our oldest two (18 & 16). We would stay again, thanks!
