We loved this area and home! It was cozy, clean and well stocked. The only issue we had was with a fan/light in an upstairs bedroom, but the weather was comfortable enough to open windows, so fortunately it wasn't really an issue. We also loved that it had a nice grill and a fire pit so we enjoy an fire and make s'mores! We would highly recommend this place and would absolutely stay here again! Thank you Mike!

This property was just as pictured and very clean! Very close to Southwest Harbor, we had fun at Beech Mountain, Beech Cliffs, and the Ships Harbor trail. Echo Lake is close as well. Safe and quiet location.

Quiet side of island. Still close enough to amenities however. Lots of bed space but general eating space or gathering space is limited. Very comfortable beds and kitchen has all appliances and utensils needed. Nice outdoor fire pit and grille area. Oddly for a woods setting almost no bugs.

Nice place. Quiet. It was very busy on the other side of the island, so it was nice to be able to unwind at the end of the day. I would stay there again.

We loved our stay at this place. It was very clean. It was located close to Acadia National Park. It had 4 good size bedrooms. It also is only a few years old and in very good condition. I would definitely recommend this VRBO unit to others looking for a great place to stay.

We enjoyed our stay, and the property was just as we expected. It was located in a wooded setting and somewhat secluded. There is another Unit attached to this, and it was occupied during our stay. We had no issues with sound from the neighbors. Overall it was a very quiet and peaceful location. It was definitely on the quiet side of the Island and away from the tourist and craziness of Acadia National Park. It was exactly what we wanted. It was in a great location for us as we did a lot of hiking and there were tons of trail heads within 15 minutes. Getting to the National Park was easy, but took about 30 minutes to get to the tourist spots and park road. There is an IRVING Gas station just down the road and has a great selection of to-go food and Ice cream. We took advantage of this a few nights after hiking as a lot of things were closed after labor day. The property seemed to be well stocked and seemed to have everything you could need. My wife and I only used the first floor, but there were bedrooms upstairs that looked real nice. The Bed in Master Bedroom was comfortable and the shower had great pressure. The window coverings are odd but functional and really not an issue, just weird. We were very happy and had no real issues, and thought the value we got for the cost was great. We would stay here again if we came back to the park.
