The property was absolutely perfect for our trip, the apartment was meticulously clean, located close to lots of great food, and extremely close to Acadia. The apartment itself was easy to find, spacious, and homey. The beds were comfortable, and it had everything we needed to feel comfortable! The microwave, fridge, and coffeemaker all came in handy too. JF gave lots of helpful recommendations. Just a note, there's a gravel driveway leading up to the parking area, so don't be surprised! We loved walking around the property by the stream and kayaking on the lake. Super convenient to access the kayaks!

Rustic little gem. Beds were comfortable. Sits on wooded area that was very inviting. Utilized the kayaks in a lake that is walking distance. Very much enjoyed our stay. Only thing I could possibly complain about is the chairs in the sitting area are not very comfortable. Our host was very kind, helpful and informative of the area, as we went to Acadia National park.

Great homebase for hiking Acadia. Family (2 parents, 13 year old and 11 year old) stayed for 3 nights. It was a great spot for the quiet side of the island but still easily accessible to the locations we wanted to go in Acadia. We prepared quick/easy breakfasts in the rental, packed a lunch and were on our way. We typically got dinner out but the rental is equipped with a grill, if desired, or possibly bring an electric griddle with you. JF and Sue were wonderfully accommodating hosts, available for information as need but not overbearing.

JF is a great host. Great to interact with and lots of advice. Basement apartment works well with a king and single bed in one bedroom and a queen and top bunk bed in a second bedroom plus microwave, decent sized fridge, coffee maker, dishes, and grille by the picnic table. His property is a lot of fun for kids. Our boys loved playing croquet and bacci ball and loved the big swing in the tree. We didn’t even have time to take advantage of the kayaks or enjoying the wooded areas by the stream. Quiet but convenient location on the island about 15-20 minutes at most to anywhere. Definitely recommend!

Quiet forested location away from the crowds, but the central location made it a great home base and it was quick and easy to get to either side of the island. The hosts were welcoming and quick to respond to messages. We stayed here with our 1 year old daughter and our close friends that we were traveling with. Our only regret is that we weren't there long enough to take advantage of the lake access.

The two bedroom basement apartment was clean and conveniently located to both sides of Mount Desert Island. The beds were comfortable and the place was outfitted with all the necessities for an extended stay.The property was quiet and peaceful. There was access to Long Pond across the street from the property and a sandy beach swimming hole about a 200 yard walk down the street. Hosts J.F and Suzanne were very informative, extremely accommodating and friendly. Their dog Brandy was also an exceptional host. Overall an outstanding place to rest and unwind after many adventures in Acadia National park.

We enjoyed our first visit to Maine and Acadia and this place worked great for our family. JF was the best host ever and sat down with me to review what we were interested in doing and he gave insider advice about where to park and how to avoid the crowds during the busy 4th of July week. We liked this quiet side of the island - the Acadia Loop Road and Bar Harbor are very busy during summer so go very early in the morning or take the free island bus from the Hulls Cove visitor center. One bedroom had a king bed and twin bed, the other bedroom had a queen bed and a twin loft bed with a ladder. Amenities included fridge with freezer, coffee pot and coffee, microwave, toaster, electric hot water kettle, dish tub, dish soap, dish towels, cups, plates, silverware, coffee mugs, bowls, plenty of towels and wash cloths, grill and grilling utensils, 4 kayaks with life vests, and access to a nice swimming area nearby. We cooked over the campfire one night (firewood was provided) and brought our electric griddle to make breakfast and hot sandwiches outside on the picnic table. As long as you are ok with no stove, washing machine, or dishwasher, this place is perfect!
