"Great stay for a weekend hiking getaway with friends! The house was clean and nicely renovated. The beds were comfortable and the AC in all the upstairs bedrooms were great for cooling the house. The free snacks and coffee were a delightful surprise! There was easy car access to the main entrance to Acadia. The neighborhood was quiet and we enjoyed the evenings at the fire pit. It’s definitely a go-to place for our group the next time we are at Acadia!"

"The location was amazing and the house was perfect! The property has everything you could need...EVERYTHING. We explored so many great spots all over Acadia/Bar Harbor/ and all the other Harbors! Centrally located, we traveled only 20ish minutes tops! The best part of the stay was our morning swims in the sun. The dock is stones throw from the deck. We enjoyed dinner on the deck, followed by fishing while the sun went down. We brought our own canoe but you can rent right around the corner. The...
