We loved the house. It was beautiful. It is close to everything. We really enjoyed using the outdoor fire place.

Great house in a convenient location to everything that bar harbor and Acadia has to offer. We were there the 1st week of August and it was a very hot week. The house really needs air conditioning. I understand that you can say that it’s rarely need in Maine but when you’re renting a single week in the heat of summer it matters. Also, there are no blinds or shades on any of the windows which is tough for your privacy. Other than that the house is brand new, in great condition, tastefully decorated and has a nice view of the woods and marsh.

This is a GORGEOUS home on a pristine (if somewhat remote) piece of property. PROS: - Beautiful new construction, nice finishes throughout - Beautiful views of trees and water - Lovely deck - Well-equipped kitchen - Comfortable beds - Lots of windows, views from every room - Super responsive and friendly property managers CONS: This may be a pro to some, but we found the location VERY isolated. You have to go up a steep unpaved gravel road, deep into the woods, to get to the home. While extremely beautiful, it feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. There are zero window coverings, which is awesome in the daytime, but at night you feel totally exposed. Especially in the bedrooms. If anyone were watching from outside they could see every move you make. That made us feel insecure, especially without a security alarm. We enjoyed our stay and overall it was a great experience, which is why we gave it 5 stars, but I would have appreciated knowing just how isolated the home was in advance. Bring a sleep blindfold, since there is no way to block the morning light. Also bring some ear plugs because the birds are LOUD and they start the chorus at 4:00 in the morning and don't let up til late morning. This is new construction and I imagine the owners will ultimately hire a decorator to bring the furnishing and decor to a level worthy of the beauty of the home itself. I would have loved to see a large TV mounted above the fireplace instead of a small one cramped in the corner, for example, and real art on the walls instead of cheap framed nature posters. If you like camping, you'll LOVE this place -- it's a definite glamping experience. If you are a little intimidated by the whole deep-in-the-woods isolation as we were, you'll still probably enjoy it as we did, but it may take some time to acclimate.

We loved this modern and spacious home close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. It was a wonderful retreat surrounded by great views and nature. Clean, comfortable and welcoming, our only suggestion would be to add blinds to the bedroom windows for those guests that don’t always want to get up at sunrise.
