Wanda's property was exceptionally clean and furnished. The lavish deck with astounding view of the West Bay was one of the highlights of the trip. There were too many amenities to count and any time we needed anything Wanda was just a text away. I couldn't recommend this stay enough and definitely try the local Mexican restaurant!

This vacation was one of our family favorites. The activities at the house provided so much entertainment. The house is as pictured and the hosts provide so many nice extra touches. The kids and adults had an equally fun time. The location is private. The area is great for biking. The serene Schoodic peninsula and Acadia park are within 20 minutes with so many hikes and coastline to discover. Mt Desert Island was about an hour and a great day trip. Thank you to Wanda for excellent communication.

Our family of 9 adults stayed here and drove to Acadia each day to hike. After a long day we were so thrilled to return to the accommodations at the house. Wanda had all the comforts of home. The activities included on the property kept our family busy and having fun the whole time. The amenities from the hot tub to the kayaks, the game room, the unique bicycles and volley ball net and the lobster pot were amazing and we utilized them all! A truly beautiful home with incredible views on the water. We highly recommend!

What a great vacation home! Communication with the host was impeccable, before, during, and after our stay.
Necessities were stocked above and beyond based on past experiences. Laundry detergent, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and mouthwash, razors and shaving cream, and sufficient toilet paper for our entire stay. There is a notebook full of suggestions and information on local restaurants and points of interest. A fun surprise…cupcakes and a bottle of wine from a local winery.
The kids had the time of their lives! The word “bored” never crossed the lips of the littles. A fleet of wheeled funcycles, including bicycles, a big trike, bicycle built-for-two, quad pedal cart, and hoverboard. There were hours of cousin fun with a tot in the basket...the perfect hood ornament. Additional activities included a video game room, kayaks, fabulous large pirate ship (a HUGE hit), and a hot tub. If we were on site, SOMEONE was in the hot tub.
The secluded property provided a huge outdoor space with a fire pit, screened-in gazebo, plenty of comfortable seating on the spacious deck with the hot tub and large grill. And a GORGEOUS water view.
The s’mores bar was a bonus enjoyed by all, young to old! When asked what was your favorite thing, three-year-old, Gavin, exclaimed, "everything!" Nine-year old, Rylan, asked, “Can we stay here every time we come to Maine?” If you are considering this property, pull the trigger. I am confident that you will love it as was much as we did!

I stayed with my adult children and grandchildren and my grandchildren would have like to have just stayed at the house the whole time. The game room and 4 person bike/car were a huge hit. All of the necessities were supplied and the owner was easily reached to answer questions. Our only problem was that the power went out for a few hours and you can only kayak during high tide.

We had a wonderful time for a weeklong family vacation. We had 12 people ranging from age 7 to 67. There were plenty of things to for the kids to stay occupied. Our favorites were the game room and the 4 person bike. The view was great. 5

I will keep this short. This property is well-maintained, clean, and it has everything a family could possibly need to enjoy a week or more in the beautiful state of Maine. The hostess was exceptional in both communication and provisions. We had a wonderful time and would certainly come back to this property again.

The home was very welcoming for young and old. We were tickled at the items supplied. Which were kitchen and bathroom items along with fresh cupcakes, smores and even a bottle of wine. Outside had entertainment for all ages. The kids had fun with the arcade and playground. The adults enjoyed the kayaks, hot tub and shaded gazebo. Great place to take a break!

Nice house and property, a bit far from Acadia, and local shopping spots

Want to replace screen time with fun time? There is lots to do here. We really enjoyed the Foosball table and Pacman game! The house is very private and convenient to Schoodic, Millbridge and surrounding areas.

Great location which made for a lovely stay at this beautiful property. Was just as advertised. Hot tub was great under a clear sky of stars. Our pups loved sitting out on the deck in the sunshine. Overall great experience. Only thing we can say should be changed is to have the home owner delineate the pet fee amount in advance.
We highly recommend this property.

The location was very nice and as described in the listing. Only one minor issue, couldn’t get the outdoor heater on the deck to work but everything else was great! The extra little touches were very nice( bottle of wine, snacks and cupcakes). We had a great time!

We really enjoyed the property. It was the perfect meeting point to see family. The views were amazing and there were so many activities to keep the kids busy. The special treats left by host were a bonus!
We especially enjoyed the playground, s'mores kit and bikes.

My husband and I wanted to celebrate our birthday getaway trip up North and away from the city with our families. It was very refreshing, with the most beautiful view of the mountain and lake! The house was very warm and cozy! Wanda, the owner was very friendly and helpful with any questions that we had. We had plenty of space around the house and our little dogs had plenty of space to roam in the yard! My family went bike riding and the trail was great! This house is fully equipped and we didn’t have to bring much stuff with us! We also celebrated Thanksgiving there as well! I would definitely highly recommend this property if you want a getaway from your home city and just to enjoy nature!

This house and property were amazing! We spend a lot of time at the property and enjoyed every minute. We had 10 children ranging from 8 to 14 and all of them had something to do! From the arcade games in the barn to the kayaks, hot tub and s’mores hut there was never a dull moment. We enjoyed seeing wildlife and hiking the trails that were nearby the house. The kids rode the bikes that were provided.It was a perfect getaway and we can’t wait to go back

The property is secluded yet all main attractions are only a short drive away.
It was the perfect size for our group of 9 (2 grandparents, 4 parents, a toddler and 2 preteens). There's something for everyone to enjoy. The house is very well equipped, beautifully decorated and the views are stunning. I definitely recommend.

We had a beautiful and relaxing stay. Wanda had several thoughtful touches to her hospitality and the home was a place that invited you to sit back and soak up the beautiful coastal views and breezes.

Our family of 8 adults had a wonderful stay! We enjoyed the many amenities the home had to offer including kayaks, bikes, fire pit, hot tub, and beautiful deck and backyard. The hosts provided many recommendations on activities and food options. We did visit Bar Harbor/Acadia National park during our stay (approx. 1 hr drive from the house), but we’re also happy to have trails closer by that we’re part of Acadias National Park Schoodic Peninsula. We would highly recommend for the perfect combination of a relaxing, yet active trip!

This house is amazing! It's clean and decorated beautifully! They really thought of everything you could want in a vacation home. So much to do that if you're bored, you're crazy! So much room too, for everyone to be together AND anyone to have alone time too! I would highly recommend this house.
10.0
Property is very comfortable, you can find everything you will ever need throughout your stay!! From mouthwash to additional blankets.
We traveled with two adult kids and two beds meant to be for little children didn’t really work, too wobbly for an adult, but sofa bed we used instead is very comfortable.
We had a great time in smores cabana, big hit even with adult kids!!!!

I can’t say enough good things about this home. Beautiful decor, welcoming touches. So many choices of things to do without ever leaving as well as close to Acadia NP, Bar Harbor and lots of other places. Would return again! Thank you Wanda.

This is was the perfect place for our family vacation. The property is beautiful and there is so much to do for all ages. The garage/game room and gazebo/s’mores hut were a big hit with the kids. We loved watching the tide come in and go out and spotted several bald eagles. The Schoodic area of Acadia is less than 20 minutes away. This is my favorite area of the national park- gorgeous scenery, great hiking and no crowds. Mt Desert and Bar Harbor were an easy 50 minute drive. This was a wonderful vacation and would love to stay here again!

This property was exactly as it was portrayed on the listing. The home was spotless and had so many amenities! Wanda was so easy to work with and made the whole process simple. We arrived and found a bottle of wine and some delicious cupcakes in the fridge. There were fresh flowers on the table and lots of very helpful information! During our stay, we engaged in a variety of outdoor activities including Acadia Park, Schoodic Park, Bar Harbor as well as indulging in the local restaurants and walking some beautiful trails. Although the weather wasn't the greatest, the house provided so many activities we could all enjoy! This included the hot tub, kayaks, game consoles, the game room and the really nice screened in and fully stocked s'mores bar! The living spaces were large and comfortable (it was nice having two separate living spaces) and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need. Having a printer available to print out our Acadia tickets was a wonderful added bonus! We would definitely stay here again!

The house was exactly as described. Not only were the surroundings gorgeous but the house had everything you could need as a family.
Our only complaint would have been that the hot tub was not so hot after all and failed to warm up enough for the adults before our departure.
I'm pretty sure we were probably one of the first people to stay there this season; air in the pipes upon arrival, a few flies from last summer in the corners, but you could tell this property is very well cared for and maintained. It was cold during our stay but I can imagine this place would be magical during the summer. Overall I would recommend staying at this property.

It was a small winter getaway for 5 of us friends. This location did not disappoint, views of the water from the hot tub, the arcade game room and a fully stocked kitchen were great to have. The house was very clean and spacious
