The house was in a great location within 20mins of pretty much all towns and trails on the island. The views from the house are amazing especially at night, we were lucky enough to be staying during a full moon. Rai, the owner, was very informative and helpful with the booking process and local suggestions. The house has all amenities needed for a long stay and of course everything needs for lobster boils. We highly recommend staying here. One Restaurant that stood out from the rest was the Traveling Lobster, it was by far the best and most reasonable lobster meals we had while visiting! We hiked many of the trails and you cant go wrong with any of them. However, our group favorites were the Beehive, Penobscot Mt, and Beech Mt to see the fire tower. This was a great trip and a great location to stay.

Heaven in Acadia
Heaven in Acadia
Traveling from southern Illinois, our 2 families of 8, 4 adults and 4 boys ages 15-20, found this home to be heaven in Acadia! We have been home now nearly one week and I’m still perusing my photos wishing we were still at TopOtheRidge. First of all, the communication with Rai and Den were incredible. Pleasant, thorough, quick in response via text, a call, or email to answer any questions or help with vacation difficulties. Secondly, the location, the views, the layout of the property CANNOT be beat! All 4 boys had their own place to sleep without feeling they were disconnected from the group. The amenities, the little labels and signs of where things are located, the convenience of adequate supplies seriously made this stay stress free! However, it is the view and location that steals the show. Acadia stares right at you when you wake up and is there in the distance to help you fall asleep. The mountains and lake view is indescribably perfect. The dock, the crystal clear lake, and the kayaks were so much fun! We had to force ourselves to stick with our hiking plans in the Park because this location is so beautiful and so perfect in and of itself! I truly hope we can visit again someday. I have absolutely nothing to suggest because we felt so taken care of. ** things we learned: - Most Maine grocery stores do not have plastic bags at checkouts. Bring a little handful from home. - if you hike to the tower of Beech Mountain, you can see Top O the Ridge in the distance! So cool! Sunset is AH-amazing here! - With summer traffic and cautious speed limits, anything on Mt.Desert is about 25 minutes away. But it doesn’t feel far…. Don’t let that deter you from this location. - The sound system in the living room turns rainy days into really fun movie days! - Buy groceries on your way in. Once you are here, you will NOT want to leave! You will instantly want to unwind, relax, and start your vacation! - We did bring bug spray and used it one evening when sitting on the deck. From southern Illinois, we are very used to bugs, so we did not get too annoyed. However, I’ve seen others give warnings about Acadia being buggy. Just a heads up.

Exceeded our Expectations!
Exceeded our Expectations!
We'd never spent time in Maine or on the Atlantic Coast, and being able to start and end our day our days at Top o' the Ridge gave us the perfect homebase to explore and relax when we weren't hiking or on the water. A few things that have stood out to us: - The provided gift bag was generous, unexpected, and a delicious introduction to local fare. - We enjoy active vacations and being outdoors, and the kayaks and canoe on the dock have given us a way to enjoy Long Pond in a way that exceeded our expectations! We spent mornings out on the water before heading out to the many trails that were usually less than a 30 minute drive. - It's not mentioned on the VRBO description, but the movie collection is fantastic. ... we were able to spend hours together in the evenings re-watching our favorites and introducing our kids to classics! - The house itself is not modern or luxurious, but... wow... it's spacious, clean, well-provisioned, and more than comfortable enough for the way we travel. - The expanse of the view to the south from the large windows and deck was a wonderful distraction from our city living but made it easy to watch birds, mountains, and the forest. (I used my binoculars for most situations, but the spotting scope in the house is a great way to look for the eagles. We can't wait to go back and spend longer!
