The property was beautiful, private and well kept, it was well stocked and the location gave us a chance to explore this side of the island. Our dog Comet felt right at home

Great house in a great location on the "quiet side" of MDI. There is a free shuttle bus stop, mini-golf & plenty of restaurants to choose from without having to drive up to Bar Harbor. When at the house, most of our time was spent upstairs or on the deck, but the basement is a great spot to beat the heat of the afternoon sun & it has the most comfortable seating options. Kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The little things - all small "inconveniences" but when added up, I took a star off the overall rating. 1. Smoke detector - arrived Sat.; detector out of reach started beeping Sun.; contacted Theresa & Sandy came quick & replaced battery; same detector started beeping again Mon; contacted T & S came quick & just removed the whole thing as there is another detector outside the smaller bedroom. That detector started beeping on Tues. We just pulled the battery on that one & did not contact Theresa until end of week. 2. Mosquito monthly spraying took place while there. T let me know & said we didn't need to be there, but 1/2 our group was there with their car which got covered with pesticide - enough that they felt the need to pay for a car wash. Would have been nice for sprayer to let them know to move car. 3. Check out time:11am on VRBO - cleaning people showed up just after 10 & when I mentioned #4 while they were waiting for us to finish, the woman had an annoyed tone. 4. None of the pillows on the bed apparently were the ones we were supposed to sleep on.

Beautiful, peaceful property with excellent communication from host. The property is well stocked with kitchen and bathroom supplies. Location is accessible to Wonderland, Ship Harbor and Bass Harbor Lighthouse. Great seafood restaurants within close proximity to house. Looking forward to returning to this location!

We really enjoyed our stay at Theresa’s place. The house is super clean and comfortable and the setting is tranquil. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet side of MDI. Everything we need is nearby without the crowds. Lots of activities as well such as hiking, kayaking and taking a dip at echo lake. The Arcadia national park is a pleasant 20 min drive away. We wish to be back!

This is a beautiful house on a beautiful, peaceful property within a few miles from the center of Southwest Harbor. Best meal was at Beal’s, and enjoyed ice cream at the Salt Box. Close to Wonderland Trail and Ship Harbor Trail, which made for good walks with our dog each morning. The house is clearly well cared for, with a lovely deck where we could enjoy our morning coffee. Easy communication with the host, too. The house is about 20 minutes from Bar Harbor, with easy access to all the Acadia Trails, including Cadillac Mtn. And Jordan Pond House. Would stay here again!

The house was clean, well stocked, organized and very inviting. It had a nice open concept layout. The beds were very comfortable. Location was perfect for visiting and riding bikes within Acadia. Many great places to eat close by. The home was quiet and secluded. The porch was huge. We enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the red squirrels, the chickadees, and the blue herons in the Glade. We will definitely be back.
