To start with the owner is amazingly clear and up front about your stay on the property. He communicated very well and was very responsive to our questions. I can't thank Marty enough for that, really great. The property is in a secluded location with tons of privacy. This northern climate oasis is a incredible place to go to recharge our batteries and escape into nature. With wildlife right at your doorstep you are only moments away from all the things you would expect from staying on Mount Desert Island. If you are lucky you will have nature's guest join you, like deer and eagles. The location is just a stone's throw from several great lobster lunches, we tried three while we were there. I have to say Travelin' Lobster won the contest, but they were all really great. Finally one of the best parts of the location was that we were close enough to really enjoy Acadia National Park and all it had to offer, but also just far enough to get away from the crowds when it was too busy. This place is truly a gem and I hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did. Thank you Marty for being so welcoming to us, until next time.... Deb & Doug

The landscaping lived up to the photos as did the view. I thought this was one of the cleaner houses I have stayed at. I do think that the pots and pans could use some additions but that was it. We had everything else we needed. The owner was a nice guy who reacted quickly when we had a hot water issue. Weather could have been better but cest la vie. No control of that.

The Lyon’s Den was picture perfect, a wonderful place to relax and spend our honeymoon after the chaos of wedding panning! We loved having coffee on the deck with our dog every morning, and watching the boats coming and going. The grounds were beautiful and meticulously kept. Walking out the front door and through the woods to Thurston’s lobster shack was one of our favorite lunches all week.

My husband and I were in great need of a quiet and comforting retreat. Lyons Den met our needs on every level. The home is clearly beloved by the host and so well cared for. The exterior grounds and gardens are truly stunning. Looking out each window was so restful, the water views included. The interior of the house was equally satisfying. Practical needs were anticipated and so well addressed in a notebook. The near floor to ceiling windows in each room created such great light and views. We so enjoyed the options of hiking, small town life, and two trips to Bst Harbor. This truly was one of our best vacations ever and this was in no small part due to Lyons Den. Thank you, Marty.

Having never visited Maine before, I began looking for pet friendly places near Bar Harbor and Acadia and The Lyons Den popped up in my search. What a fabulous find! The house is situated on a beautiful piece of land with great water views combined with a lovely garden landscape. Plus the views could be enjoyed from nearly every room in the house. My dog and I loved the trails through the woods leading us down to the ocean and Thurston’s lobster pound. While this property is a solid 30 minute drive to Acadia and nearly 20 minutes to town, I am so glad we got to experience the “Quiet Side”. Sitting on the porch with a fire in the fireplace watching the stars made for a perfect night. The house had everything we needed. One consideration for renters is due to the remoteness of the house, meals may require some planning. This should in no way deter anyone from selecting this house for a vacation spot. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
