Great house for our trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia national park. The house was clean and well stocked for us. The host was very responsive, especially when the fire alarm went off in early morning. I do wish there were dressers to store our clothing but that’s just a minor thing that didn’t change the quality of the house or the host!Book with confidence.

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was clean, well stocked, and convenient for all our activities in Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. At the same time, it was nice to be in a quiet neighborhood away from the busyness of the town. Would definitely stay here again in the future if we return to Bar Harbor.

Great stay in Bar Harbor

We enjoyed our stay in the home. Communication with owners was excellent. House was clean and had everything we needed. We did want to grill out one night so was disappointed there wasn’t a grill but it was not a big deal. The walk into town was not bad and the drive to Acadia was fast and easy. Great home and location.

Terrific VRBO

The house was well appointed and the owner was easy to contact with questions, etc.. Kitchen drawers and cabinets were marked with what was inside and this was helpful for us to move quickly about the kitchen.

Last minute end of summer vacation trip

We had a great stay but too short of a trip. But overall, had a great stay. Lots of room for my wife and 3 kids. We could walk in to town and get food, ice cream, etc. Communication was easy with fast responses from the host.

Great house right outside Acadia Natl Park

We loved staying at this well appointed darling home with ideal location for exploring Acadia (3 min drive to the entrance) and a quick drive or half hour walk to charming downtown. Really appreciated the comfy beds, fresh new linens/blankets, and new appliances. Minor concern that there was no deadbolt on the front door or door to the basement that could be accessed by caretaker or owners, but neighborhood felt safe overall. Would definitely stay here again!

Family oriented vacation house

We just spent 5 days at this property with adults and 2 children, ages 1 and 3. Aside from the bedrooms being upstairs, everything was really great! Clean, well equipped, lots of room, easy to accommodate the age ranges and interests. Including a great washer and dryer in the downstairs and a piano in the "office" which is a second family room.

Acadia Hiking Vacation

There were 6 of us staying and it was a very clean and comfortable vacation home! We drove to Acadia everyday for hikes. It is conveniently located and close to the park and restaurants in Bar Harbor. It was a 20-30 min walk to downtown, so we drove some and walked some. We had fun at the Reels pizza place where you could watch a movie while eating pizza. It was a great vacation and the house had plenty of comfy beds, showers and space.

Perfect location

Our family of eight visited Bar Harbor for a long memorial day celebration. The home is well appointed with all of the amenities needed for a great vacation. Plenty of room to spread out and kitchen was well stocked. The location couldn’t be any better whether it be getting to town, Acadia, or all other points of interest. Neighborhood was very quiet plenty of parking in the front of the home for four cars. Host was very responsive to all questions and any issues that we had with the home. Would definitely stay at this home again, if in the area.

Great Christmas stay for extended family

We had a lovely stay at this house. The beds were comfortable. We had small children, and the rooms were quiet. The downstairs has a lot of space and separate living rooms for people to have quiet time. We cooked many meals, and the kitchen worked well. Jane was a great communicator, making everything so easy. She even left us lovely snacks to get us started. Highly recommend

Nice stay

The property looks like it’s been recently updated. It’s also clean and has all the amenities. Check-in was easy. The location was great. We appreciated the umbrellas, washer/dryer, and extra blankets! (JFYI the bathtub was out of order). The only con is that there were A LOT of check out instructions and pre-cleaning to do (10 bullet points worth).
