Within walking diatance of the tidal flats - kids loved seeing the starfish! House was great, thanks to the hosts for easy and fast communication. Perfect distance to both Bar Harbor and Acadia Basement bedrooms stayed nice and cool for sleeping (there in June), appreciated the sun room and living area upstairs for a rainy day (game time!) Thanks again!

This home is immaculate and beautifully decorated but be aware that there is only one private bedroom. There is another open room with no door at the bottom of the stairs adjacent to the bedroom with 2 beds which would be suitable for a family with children but it is not suitable for 2 couples. Also be aware that the sleeping area is located in the basement. The one air conditioner in the tiny half bath is not sufficient to provide cooling comfort for the first floor. On the positive side, in addition to being tastefully decorated, there is a bright, comfortable sunroom off the living area and as I've already mentioned, the home is absolutely immaculate.

The owners have thoughtfully remodeled this home, and we very much appreciated the cleanliness and aesthetics of it. There was more than enough room for our family of four, and we particularly enjoyed playing cards in the sunroom in the evening. Amanda was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to questions. We made breakfast and dinner a few times and would have appreciated a dishwasher. 😊 The kitchen nozzle was stuck on the spray mode and made washing dishes a bit of a hassle. Things to note: The location did make for some challenges with sourcing groceries and restaurants with healthy options. We would have stocked up at a Hannaford grocery before arriving had we known. One other detail to know for those guests with light sleepers is that whoever stays in the queen room has walk through the twin bedroom to access the bathroom and the upstairs. While it did take about 30 minutes to reach Acadia, the drive was easy and we did the trip three days in a row. We enjoyed our stay!

The main level of Amanda’s home was beautifully decorated. The couches were very comfortable and there were plenty of seats for everyone in our group. There were lots of windows on the main level which gave us some great views of the wildlife. However, there were no blinds, shades, or curtains on any of the windows. There were very minimal kitchen utensils or cooking supplies, although the grill and patio area was nicely arranged. There were tons of insects in the rental upon our arrival and throughout our stay. The air conditioning made the temperature comfortable on the main floor, but basement sleeping area was quite warm. The description and pictures of the basement bedrooms were misleading. There was a very lovely, large bathroom/laundry room in the basement. Although Amanda provided a dehumidifier, the basement still felt damp. The listing indicated there were two bedrooms. There was one bedroom with a door that closed. The second sleeping area was in the remaining open basement space. There was no door/privacy. The open sleeping space was exposed to the light and sound from the main floor, and it was very tough to sleep while anyone was using the main floor.

We drove to Acadia NP early (Mt. Desert and Schoodic Pt) in the morning to avoid the crowds, and walked to explore the tidal falls each afternoon. It was an outstanding location and away from the hustle and bustle. We enjoyed catching crabs and seeing sea stars and seals at the tidal falls at low tide. The glass window porch was a great place to relax with the windows open and breeze blowing in the evenings. The sitting area under the car port was great in the heat of the day. Cooking tinsels were somewhat limited, but we made it work for us. It would have been nice to have a frying pan/skillet, and the sink faucet head was stuck on high spray mode which made everything wet with overspray if the water was turned on full. Overall, this was exactly the type of place we wanted. The beds were very comfortable, and the place worked well for our family. For those of you traveling East in summer to Maine, keep in mind the sun rises very early on the eastern side of the eastern time zone. It can be bright very early! All the more reason to get up and out to see the sights early and avoid the crowds if going to Acadia.

This property was in a fantastic location. It was very close to the Tidal Falls Preserve, which we went to multiple times. It was also 45 minutes from Acadia National Park, which is stunning. Amanda was extremely responsive and helpful, and check in was simple. We loved our stay!

Lovely home, well supplied. Location a little remote but quiet. The owner was friendly and helpful. Glassed in porch a big plus. Only negative was that the one full bath required one couple to pass thru the other couple’s bedroom to use the bathroom.

IT WAS VERY CLEAN AND ROOMY. Everything was in order in the home,

This house was a great location to explore Acadia and the surrounding coastal area. The house was impeccably clean and a great set up with a very comfortable living area to gather and visit in the evening. We appreciated having a full kitchen to prepare meals. Amanda was great to communicate with and even made sure there were lights on to welcome us when we arrived our first night later than we had expected to.

This is a great place close to Bar harbor and Winter harbor. The place is very clean and bright. Theres lot to do in the space, with all the amenities you can think off. Highly recommended.

Perfect for family getaway to Downeast Acadia!! 5 minute walk to amazing Tidal Falls Preserve that has frequent outdoor live music festa. Clean, comfortable, well-appointed, and convenient cottage with A/C and smart TV! Adorable cast iron wood-burning stove for colder seasons. Outdoor grill and living area and plenty of parking and grassy yard area. A+++ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This house is beautifully decorated and so adorable. We loved the glass enclosed patio! Great people to work with

Our family had a great stay at Amanda’s VRBO. She and her daughter have done a wonderful job with the remodel and they’ve created a space that’s warm and inviting. During our stay, it was unusually hot for the area (90+). It was great to have the air conditioning. However, as the rooms are on the lower level, stays nice and cool downstairs, regardless of whether the air is on or not. The small sun porch is very warm during the day, but at night, when the window are open with a cross breeze, it’s a fabulous place to relax, read, and stare up at the stars:-) The house was very clean and stocked with everything we needed to make our stay effortless. The location was perfect. It was quiet and peaceful and appears to be in a very safe location. There is a large enough yard for the kids to get out their wiggles and for yard games. It also has a great little outdoor seating area for relaxing and grilling. We loved the proximity of the property to “all the things”—it was far enough away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to Bar Harbor and both areas of Acadia that it didn’t feel like you were driving forever. The Tidal Falls are also very close, and we loved them!!! We visited almost every every evening to check out the sea life along the rocks at low tide—we saw SO many sea stars!!!! Amanda left multiple recommendations for things to do and even helped us find a very nice swimming hole for us all to cool off in. Overall, our stay was excellent and we would stay again in the future. Amanda was very easy to communicate with and the little home was the perfect getaway for our little family.

Place was on par and better than expected in some ways. Bonus-Wurlitzer Organ! We had an enjoyable time overall. Beds on the shorter side but still super comfy. Amanda was very accommodating when after a few days of heavy rain an inquiry about a dehumidifier for the lower level was accommodated immediately and did the trick for us. Very enjoyable.
