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!

We had an amazing time here. With a big group, and several kiddos, everyone had room to stretch out and enjoy themselves. The grounds are great, the hot tub is perfect, and the location was perfect. Would definitely recommend!

Great home base for exploring the area! Super private and peaceful. Fun to use the fire pit and jacuzzi after hiking and exploring Acadia. Also was super close to Echo Lake, which was fun! Loved the two separate living spaces! We had a great trip!

This place was perfect if you are going to explore Acadia for a few days. Everything was within a 30 minute drive, and absolutely beautiful. The yard was beautiful and relaxing. The space was stocked with plenty of coffee, spices and other necessities! The main house has two bedrooms with an additional guest house with a third bedroom. Great for multiple families traveling together.
