I was very pleased at how clean the home and hot tub were! Very relaxing stay and close to everything you could want with Acadia. Host was also very responsive to messages!

The property and house were exactly like we were looking for and the perfect location! Everything looked exactly as pictured and described. We did have deer in the yard a few times early in the morning and later at night (and even a skunk)! At the end of the day we wanted to be away from all the crowds. We spent 5 days here, spent lots of time in Acadia and even traveled up to Cutler and Lubec for a day trip (just a short 2 hour drive). Thom was very responsive and over all a great host. The hot tub had broken just before we arrived but he was on top of it. He was able to get someone out to the house to fix it prior to our stay ending.

The home was clean and comfortable. There was plenty of space for my 2 college aged children, my husband and I to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked and the homeowner even left us a cooler when I had asked if there was one to use for picnics. We saw several deer in the yard and enjoyed bird song throughout the day. The location was great for getting around to everything we wanted to see.

We loved our time at this home on the quiet side of Acadia National Park. The house is secluded and quiet - a nice getaway from the crowds on the other side of MDI. But it was also just a quick drive to everything downtown Southwest Harbor has to offer. The house was very clean and spacious. The outdoor grill and hot tub were awesome amenities!

The home was large and spacious and very well stocked. The location was secluded and private with deer meandering around the lovely landscaped yard. Thom, the host was very accomamodating and responded to all questions. I would definitely recommend this property.

We recently stayed at this house and had an overall good experience. The kitchen refrigerator that looked like it was straight out of Star Trek, which was quite impressive and added a modern touch to the space. The main floor bathroom was updated, nice large shower which worked great. However, this bathroom has a child-sized toilet, which might be inconvenient for some guests. There was a heatwave during our stay so a downside was the air conditioning. Only two of the bedrooms had window AC. The room with two beds did not have any AC, the window screen was torn, so we couldn't open the window for some fresh air. But oscillating fans were provided (no ceiling fans) in each bedroom. The living room does have a good celing fan. The location is quite secluded, which is perfect if you're looking to get away from it all. However, be aware that there are no TVs in the bedrooms. The main floor has a very small TV with no cable, but it does have internet streaming access if you provide your own streaming account. The hot tub was clean and working great, and the fire pit was fantastic for evening gatherings. Having on-site laundry was also a great convenience. The upstairs bathroom, while not updated, was completely satisfactory. Additionally, the lawn and landscaping were well maintained, which added to the overall pleasant ambiance. The house is about 25 minutes from Bar Harbor, and Southwest Harbor is very close by with restaurants and a great ice cream shop called Salt Shop.
