Although the weather was iffy the location made up for it. It was a ten minute walk into town that had everything you could have wanted; restaurants, entertainment, shopping, coffee shops, tours and ice cream shops. The house had everything you needed in a rental and the hosts responded to any questions immediately. Would definitely rent again.

This is a grand old house in a perfect location for being able to explore all the beauty of Acadia National Park, or take a short walk into the town of Bar Harbor for shopping, restaurants and ice cream, and then retreat back to the house for some peaceful rest on the porch while the kids have fun running around in the large, private yard and down to the shoreline. It was so nice to take that peaceful walk into town and not have to worry about parking as Bar Harbor is quite busy! You can feel the ocean breeze and the temps cooling down as you get closer to the house walking in from town. The rooms are spacious, the kitchen updated, large, and well stocked, and the porch is great! We also rented the cottage on the same property which was wonderful for our two families with young kids. They were able to shuffle them off to bed away from the big house yet be close enough that they could wander back and forth easily between the two houses. The house is old and not updated to modern sized bathrooms and such, but it is clean and charming. We had a great vacation and loved our stay here at this house and in beautiful Acadia! The owner communicated with me many times during the months prior to our vacation as I planned this trip for 23 people ranging in age from 23months to 71yrs old. Roberta was so responsive to all my questions and she and the caretaker, Liz, were so very kind, helpful, and eager to make this a wonderful stay for all of us! We would highly recommend!

Fabulous place to stay. Location is amazing and the view down to the water from the porch is beautiful.The lawn was lots of fun for the children and Roberta and Liz put up a badmitton set for us. We had a blast and liked everything about it for out family. The huge modern kitchen in this charming old house is well stocked. We hiked trails in Acadia until we could not walk anymore. Everyone in our family (15 of us) liked the fact that everything in the village was an easy walk and we could also walk to bar island land bridge which was fascinating. We want to return, it was our introduction to Maine.

Wonderful, charming old home, full of character with plenty of places to eat, visit and enjoy the locale. The location can't be beat, steps from town, the ocean and a short drive into Acadia, easy to beat the crowds and get parking. We are coming back next year! Five stars.

This was a perfect retreat for our family of 12 (ages ranging from 10 months to 65). The house was just as imagined, a very New England cottage filled with love, care and memories (well preserved by the owners). There was ample space to spread out and a bedroom/bathroom for everyone. The yard was spacious and provided a gorgeous view of the sea with glorious morning sunrises (a must do if you are an early bird). The kitchen was fully equipped and updated to provide easily for family meals. The location could not be better, private, yet easy to walk into town or bike to Acadia. Then.... there were our hosts and owners of the home, Roberta and Lisabeth (there are more family members, but that is who we met). Absolutely a delight, responsive, kind and had wonderful suggestions for activities during our stay. We felt welcomed and one could see how much Roberta treasures her home and delights in seeing families enjoy the lovely space. We do hope to return some day for another stay!
