About this house rental

We built our home in 2004, cut from over 3 acres of woods in the heart of Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. It sits 1 mile north of Somes Sound, and is within easy reach of hiking, biking, carriage roads, boat tours, and all of the shopping and restaurants to be found in the several quaint towns on the island.

We created our space to gather and connect with family and friends, and hope that you enjoy it, too.

Our home sleeps eight easily. The master bedroom has a king bed and is located on the main floor. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are on the 2nd floor. The kitchen is fully-appointed to help you create memorable meals; dine inside on our farmhouse table, or eat on the deck. We also maintain a lovely kitchen garden, and welcome guests to pick what they need to round out their meals - it would be a shame for fresh produce to go to waste! After a busy day of adventuring in the park, relax in the deep jacuzzi master tub, or sit by the Solo Stove fire pit and cook S'mores.
We have Free WiFi high-speed internet with Smart TVs located on the main floor and another in the basement room

I can’t say enough good things about this home and the proprietors. The house was immaculate and tons of room and special touches for guests. They went the extra mile to make it a guest friendly experience. The owners reached out early to offer advice on activities a d were very friendly. The location makes you feel like you are away from it all, yet only 20 min from anywhere you want to be.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our few days at this beautiful home! It was clean and comfortable with everything we needed. And the property is gorgeous! It truly is a woodland paradise, and was a welcome retreat after busy days in the crowded park and town.

Stayed here as our home base near Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. It was a great home. Plenty of space to spread out. Good parking, driveway well marked and easy to find. It felt out by itself, yet we were close to things. Acadia was about 16 minutes away. Would definitely recommend.

A lovely quiet spot to spend time with family. There wasn't anything that I wished for that wasn't already there. They have thought of everything. It's just a short distance from Bar Harbor or hiking or swimming. Or just stay there and use the hot tub, have a cook out, or make smores. Plenty of space to spread out inside or outside and plenty of good cooking equipment too!

House was so warm, comfortable, and peaceful. We truly enjoyed the property. It was great to relax in the hot tub or pick some fresh herbs for dinner after spending day hiking/ biking Acadia. Kids enjoyed the darts and badminton. Would highly recommend this place!

A gorgeous dog friendly property in the woods just north of Sommes Sound. Very private and quiet. Easy commute to either Bar Harbor or Southwest Harbor. Nicely equipped, great kitchen and very comfortable master bedroom with a comfortable king bed. Meeting Kirk was special... very accomodating owners. Would be large enough for a family; for the two of us and our shy golden retriever it was perfect.

My wife and I and our two dogs had a great stay. We were lucky to find Fernhaven. It's a short drive to Acadia, cafes, restaurants, etc., and the property is a nice place to relax, private, set back from main roads. Kirk was very accommodating and responded quickly to any questions.

The home was perfect! Super clean and well cared for! We would stay again for sure! The garden was full of herbs and end of season veggies making amazing meals! The communication with the owner was perfect! Our first time renting VRBO and will do again! The property it situated perfectly on the Island! The owners have a welcome book to help with the best eateries and places to visit, helped perfectly! Be sure to check out the parks reservations schedule for Cadillac Mountain, we saw several vehicles turned away as they did NOT have reservations! This is the best, most beautiful National Park we have visited yet!

We throughly enjoyed our stay at FernHaven - the property was just amazing. The home was one of the best outfitted we have seen - plus a Hot tub for sore muscles after hiking, badminton in the evening, a fresh garden to supplement dinner, a firepit with smore fixins, and it’s own little trail to explore. The home was 15 min outside of Bar Harbor with easy access to both the east and west sides of Acadia. Hosts were easy to communicate with and quick to respond. Thanks so much for an amazing trip!

This was our first visit to Maine and the perfect location for Acadia National Forest activities. We live in a large city and wanted to stay in a quieter/peaceful location but with option of accessing Bar Harbor. House is ~15 min drive. From booking to checkout, there was clear communication with Kirk. We had 5 family members which included our two teens (13 & 17) and a senior (83 years old). We were able to easily access Acadia National park and the Carriage Roads system throughout MDI. There are carriage roads that are easy walks around a lake and accessible to all in our family. The house is comfortable, clean and safe. The Lurvey’s have ensured that pretty much anything you need for your stay is available. Check in first, then get groceries. Chances are the kitchen pantry has what you need. One of the most well appointed VRBO’s we’ve rented. Beds are comfortable and house is spacious. The finished basement was great retreat. Our kids opted to share the “fun room,” which is the yellow upstairs bedroom with access to a nook in the attic. There’s a light and even a fan and little window up there to make it more comfortable for reading on a cushioned mat. We played badminton a lot. We stargazed while jacuzzing. Travelin Lobster hot roll was best we had. Sweet Pea Farm was great for lunch. Jordan Pond lunch also nice, but weak mojitos. Leary’s Pub downtown has good drinks/food. Everything about this home made for a memorable stay during our Bar Harbor visit. Thank you!

This home is lovely, and the host (Kirk) is so friendly & helpful! I stayed for the days with my mother, my brother & his wife, and my two nieces (both 5 & under), and we each loved it. The house is spacious, very clean, and has lovely bonus features like the garden, hot tub, plenty of kids' toys, and a small attic reading nook with a mural of a squid & a dragon! The downstairs is basically a movie theater, and was great to play ad hang out in, since it was rainy for most of our stay. When we did get sun, we drive about 15-20 minutes to downtown Bar Harbor, and about the same distance when we visited various hikes & the Park Loop Road in Acadia. I highly recommend staying here, particularly if you have two families, many friends or multiple generations staying together!

The house really feels like a home. We cooked all our meals in the well-stocked kitchen, and enjoyed hanging out in the hot tub at night and relaxing in the living room each morning. The proximity to Acadia was perfect for our hiking excursions and exploring the park.

My wife, kids (6 and 8), and I loved staying in Kirk and Claudine's house. It's centrally located, has everything we needed, and the owners were helpful during and after our visit (we left something behind). We especially loved the vegetable garden, and as a longtime fan and supporter of Acadia, I appreciated Kirk's full commitment to the park with all of the prints, books, and other memorabilia. We hope to stay here again next year when we return.

Fantastic - close to everything and very well-appointed house

Our group of 7 (Teenagers through Grandparents) really enjoyed staying at the house. It is on a very private large lot where we could play badminton, go in the hot tub, gather blueberries, and enjoy looking at the stars by the fire pit. The kitchen was the most stocked of any VRBO I have stayed in for the past 10 years. The location was fantastic - 15 minutes to Bar Harbor, the top of Cadillac Mtn, Northeast Harbor, and really anywhere on the island. All was exactly as described and made for a great week in MDI. Thanks for sharing your house.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this property and the hosts. The pictures don't even do the house justice - I promise it is more wonderful in person. The hosts are extremely communicative and over accommodating. If you are looking to take a trip to Bar Harbor, we can't recommend this property enough. 5 BIG STARS! - The Messersmith-Bunting family
