Hidden House is a graceful, comfortable home that embodies the charm of the legendary "summer cottages" on MDI. It has a very very large deck with great views over Seal Harbor, a huge kitchen and great beds. The hosts are wonderful.

We love this house! It’s perfect for an intergenerational family vacation - spacious bedrooms and lots of space to gather. The location is perfect too; we walked to the beach and ice cream shop, rode bikes into the park, and it’s an easy drive to the other towns on MDI. We can’t wait to come back!

The property manager was responsive and flexible to accommodate our schedule. The house is located in a great spot. Unfortunately, it shows its age. A very small investment, e.g. replacing a missing shower curtain or a stained bedsheet, would make a difference. Much more would be needed to justify the rental price.

Fabulous old house with lots of character and space. All ages loved it. We didn’t need a thing except food. Park minutes away and not as crowded as we had expected. We would definitely book again.

Our once in a lifetime family vacation was made exceptional certainly by the location of Bar Harbor, Maine but next in line was the incredibly quaint and beautiful Hidden House near Seal Harbor. The turn of the century construction, the wood work, the views of the Harbor, the fascinating books selections, the history, the true feel of an authentic Maine Harbor home made everything perfect for our family. The rooms were decorated perfectly, not overdone but tasteful. The range of diverse rooms as well allowed our adult children and wives to feel they had a personal room for them different from the others. Beds were comfy, baths attached were well located and everything was very clean. The kitchen was amazing and had dual sinks which accommodated our large group with the up to date appliances a real blessing. The surrounding neighborhood was very quiet and quite beautiful away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. But what made it special was the incredible hosts Dave & Rosemary Hopkins. They went out of their way to help us secure their property being flexible on the dates after we'd lost another property for some crazy reasons. They saw our special need and took care of us from the very beginning. Communication was exceptional, clear, thorough and prompt. All in all we'd definitely come back to their home and know we'd be receiving class A service and an incredible property with amazing charm and character. Highly, highly recommended _ it was an amazing location!!!

Our family had a wonderful stay at Hidden House. In truth, it was much more spacious than our 7 family members needed. We loved spreading out, and we didn't even use 3 of the 7 bedrooms. Great porch, well- equipped kitchen (and we had a couple serious cooks among us), lovely views, peaceful, comfortable, great location for easy access to ANP, Bar Harbor, NEH, etc. We have been coming to MDI for decades and would definitely recommend this property!
