About this house rental

Maine is called "Vacationland" and you are going to LOVE it! Mt. Desert Island, home of Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, is an incredibly beautiful place where people come to relax, to play and to appreciate all that nature has to offer. 'Acadia Retreat' has been created so that you and your family can stay in a wonderful and comfortable environment while you explore and experience all the beauty that surrounds you! Our charming home is beautifully maintained & lovingly appointed with great attention to detail. We have a bright, open floor plan where the living room, dining area & kitchen share one big space. The kitchen has an abundance of cabinets & counter space. The laundry area located right off the kitchen has a full-sized washer & dryer. The dining area has a handsome round oak table with matching chairs. The living room has 'comfy' sofas & an HDTV and DVD player. Great Vacation Spot!

The sunny bedrooms are located on opposite ends of the home for maximum privacy. The master bedroom with a queen-size bed has a private bath & walk-in closet. The second bedroom with twin beds has two closets & the main bath is located right outside the door. The 24 x 14 sun room is the 3rd sleeping area and has a queen sofa bed.

Both baths offer spotlessly clean tub/shower combinations. The heating system is very efficient & we also have Central Air conditioning! A ceiling fan and portable fans are available for extra comfort as well. The home has been freshly painted bright white & accented with attractive & colorful furnishings & collectibles.

Outside you can enjoy a beautiful yard with exquisite trees & colorful wildflowers that will make you smile. You can just relax in the hammock with a book, send the kids on a treasure hunt in the surrounding woods, cook some lobsters & have a picnic or even shoot some hoops! 'Acadia Retreat' is Truly a Great Vacation Spot for Everyone!

Activities: Hadley Point Beach is a public area (3 miles) where you can launch a boat, have picnics, sunbathe, skip rocks, watch the seals & other wildlife. This is a favorite spot for the kayak rental companies to start & end their day trips-it's fun to watch them come & go--and you just might want to join them! There are several freshwater ponds/lakes on the Island where you can enjoy swimming, boating or fishing. You can even go horseback riding on the gorgeous carriage trails that wind through Acadia. You can hike, ride bikes on your own, go out on a whale-watching tour or a sunset cruise on Frenchman's Bay or participate in tons of activities that are offered by Acadia National Park! Definitely go and see the movie that is shown at the Visitor's Center which is less than 10 min away! Try to get to the Jordan Pond House for afternoon tea, popovers and homemade ice cream and of course, take a drive up Cadillac Mountain and around the Ocean Drive where you will see Sand Beach, Thunder Hole & Otter Cliffs!

There are fantastic restaurants, great shopping and even mini golf courses nearby. There is an awesome 'Art Deco' movie theater called The Criterion located in downtown Bar Harbor and two evenings a week there are band concerts on the Village Green. Several art shows are held during the summer and cruise ships come into the harbor weekly! Mt. Desert Island is Truly an Unforgettable Place with Something for Everyone!

Excellent overall experience for our first visit to Bar Harbor! Lorie was an excellent host, and her home was perfect for us. Plenty of room, including a large yard with lots of privacy. The home was well appointed, with all of the key household items included. Location was ideal, as well being centrally located between Bar Harbor center and Acadia National Patrick. We can’t wait to return!

We had a wonderful stay at the Acadia Retreat. The layout was very comfortable for our family of five. The house had everything we needed and was very clean. The location is in a residential neighborhood, a bit away from the more hectic and touristy area around Bar Harbor -- and well situated so that we could easily reach any and all Acadia destinations as well as off-island spots like Tidal Falls and Trenton/Ellsworth.

We had a wonderful time at Spruce Lodge. The hosts described the accommodations perfectly and had a long list of suggestions for activities and entertainment in the area. The location is ideal for those seeking a get away that's not too far from Acadia but has its own beautiful setting in the woods near the water. We all enjoyed morning and/or evening walks down to the point to check out the tides and point. - The house is very cozy, clean and comfy with all necessities provided. The hosts are easy to get in contact with and responded to questions immediately. Top notch vacation!

We absolutely loved staying at this property in Acadia. Lorie is an absolute gem and goes above and beyond to make the experience wonderful for guests. The home has everything you need for at least a week stay and is comfortable to hang out at and relax. I was worried when I booked that it was a little farther away from Bar Harbor but there is actually plenty close by. There is both a coffee shop and the highly rated Travelin Lobster within walking distance. I would highly recommend to anyone!
