We stayed in the Otter Creek house for a week long visit to Mt. Desert Island. This was a perfect location that was q quick drive to the main areas of Acadia Park. We were also able to take a hike to the Otter Creek overlook.

Went to stay the the Hetzer house for a long family weekend. House is very spacious and offers enough room for 4 adult couples. Grounds are nice for some good time at the fire. Plenty of space to park cars and equipment. House is much nicer than it looks on the pictures. Old, authentic - but very easy to have a great time in. Would definately want to book it again.

Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay at this home. The location was perfect! A short drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, but felt very secluded with woods all around and a fire pit that we enjoyed. The home is very spacious and was comfortable with 2 living rooms and a formal dining room. Large kitchen for cooking meals at home. My only complaint is that when booking I filtered my search for places with a/c as we have a family member who is sensitive to the heat. When I booked the details stated the home had a/c. It did not. I see now that has been removed from the listing. This might be a consideration if you are booking during the summer. Overall an amazing place and would love to return!!

This house was very roomy. Ideal for a large family. The location was fantastic. Although we did not spend much time at the house and didn't use the kitchen or really any of the amenities - the house offered it all for a great stay.

While a bit outdated it makes up for it in location and size. Great location! Loved that we could hop on the free shuttle right out front. Far enough from Bar Harbor to get away from the busy but close enough to still visit. We loved this property. Had everything you could need, was super clean, comfortable, and owner provided lots of helpful tips and info. For that I don’t mind maroon carpet. We would happily stay here again. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us! Loved the history!

The home was perfect location for our family to do all the sights and adventures around Acadia national park. It was a short 8 mins away from Bar harbor, but far enough away that we felt relaxed and in nature. While the home looks older in the pictures it has all the newer amenities and brings a great deal of charm to the vacation knowing the history of the home. Hosts were great and responded promptly when questions were asked.

It was a great location but when we booked it, it said it had AC and it did not (we found out when we walked in and it was almost 100° in the house). The temps were in the 80s with high humidity which brought heat indices into the 90s. Was quite miserable to try to do anything in the house except early morning. And was not good to come back from a hike to a muggy house. Would be good in the fall but not so much in the summer.

The property and the location could not have been better. Ease of access to Acadia (hot tip: biking to the park loop through the campground across the street was perfect early AM and early eve to avoid the crowds and gets some ocean goodness…may not be sanctioned but it’s still recommended). The location is also near enough to Bar Harbor for the buzz but far enough away to unwind. The place is big and old which brings with it character and charm AND somehow this big old home was immaculately clean in all of its nooks and crannies. We enjoyed the yard, flowers, wandering chickens that visited from a neighboring property, and the deck. Owners were responsive and positive to connect with. As many have indicated the pics don’t do this place justice.
