Beautiful home close to everything we wanted to experience! Great communication with owners from the start. The house had everything we needed. Loved spending our evenings around the fire and using the hot tub. This home is exactly as listed. Grateful for our week at Fernhaven.

Perfect place for families, we felt right at home. The house was well stocked and clean. Location is close to everything.

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.

We greatly enjoyed our stay. The house is well equipped, very comfortable, and in a great location for visiting Bar Harbor, Acadia NP, and surrounding areas. The owners were great and very communicative.

The home is lovely and is perfect for a visit to Acadia National 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.

Great Location for Arcadia National Park visit, and relaxing (and quiet) location, that more than lives up to expectations!

Lovely property and surroundings. Kitchen is well-supplied and spacious. Great yard with volley ball net and hot tub were fun! Owner was very responsive and helpful. We would love to return to Acadia National Park and stay here again.

A perfect location for an Acadia holiday.

The property was even better than expected! We loved our “cabin in the woods.” The location was very convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia but wonderfully quiet and private.

Had a great time. Property in a central location easy to get to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. House was clean, well stocked w lots of little extras, with plenty of space for a family of six. Good communication and advice from the owners.

The perfect house for our first family getaway to Maine. The house exceeded our expectations. The location was perfect and the hot tub was a great way to end a day of hiking. Would definitely book again!

Way exceeded our expectations! Loved the proximity to the park and Bar Harbor, yet still felt like a quiet world away. Our kids absolutely loved the dragon lair, bunny trail, and all the legos!! Highly recommend for those with kids. Kirk was a great host and we will definitely recommend!!

The house is well situated on Mt. Desert Island to afford easy driving access to the sites in Acadia National Park as well as Bar Harbor and other towns. It is very quiet and peaceful with a lovely vegetable garden. I highly recommend it!

We really enjoyed our stay! Kirk and his wife have a beautiful home and I would recommend this stay to anyone.

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

A great home to stay in with family or friends! Rooms were great sizes, all the amenities you could ask for! The garden was spectacular! We picked some for our salad one night! Nothing like fresh greens! There is a hot tub, fire pit, and badminton! We thoroughly enjoyed staying here and I’m sure you will as well!

We had the most relaxing stay at Fernhaven. Everything was perfect from the communication pre-stay to the level of comfort we felt at the house. The house was equipped with everything we needed and the owners were so responsive when we had questions during our stay. We would go back in a heartbeat. The kids loved the finished basement and used the hot tub daily. The location is perfect for exploring Acadia. If we could give this rental 6 stars we would. Highly recommend (and we have stayed all over the northeast in many different rentals).

Great proximity to Acadia sites and Bar Harbor. The house has everything and more for a family or group of 5-8. Wonderful amenities such as hot tub, fire pit and great vegetable garden. Kurt our host was absolutely tremendous with taking care of questions or issues. Highly recommended.

Kirk and Claudine were great hosts and the property had many small touches and amenities that made for a great stay. Four couples stayed pretty comfortably in the house. It's a quick 15 min drive to town or to the park. The garden was really wonderful to have. Well-stacked and clean. Overall, our group had an excellent time and really appreciated the Lurveys' hosting.
