Large windows let natural sunlight shine through all day, and because we are on a hill, is also great for viewing the amazing night sky in Maine!

You cannot flush any grease or food products down drain and should never flush anything besides tp down the toilet (even if packaging may tout ‘flushable’).

Fantastic location for exploring Mt. Desert Island and Acadia National Park. Sunny Acres was an ideal place for our annual brother hiking holiday specifically bedrooms, bed size, bathrooms, and a barbecue. Great hosts. Would highly recommend.

The main house layout and amenities were great for our family and we enjoyed the large kitchen, deck, living room, and yard. Extra towels, beach towels, umbrellas, jackets, and head lamp and so many extra touches made it feel like a home away from home. Two of the 4 beds in the main house were very soft and sagged in the middle and that made for less than ideal sleeping for some. The lower unit that another family member rented for part of the time was very musty and would have been hard to hang out in if we had needed it for that. Given the musty smell, it was a very high price to pay in my opinion. The trip left on a bad note as the host messaged me just after we left about 2 things that had just broken as we were leaving and I had not yet had a chance to tell her as the grand baby was crying in the car and it wasn’t yet check out time. The message implied I had hid the broken items from her. The cutlery drawer that collapsed as we were leaving was likely not the first time it broke as the pressboard was stripped and we couldn’t fix it. It was very obviously broken and no effort was made to hide it. A small plastic window tab also popped off when I went to close the window upon checking out as we left them open the entire time. I found the host’s tone upsetting as I always disclose if something breaks and take responsibility. I would not have minded if she had just asked about them rather than assuming they broke earlier in the week and we were trying to hide it.

The house was extremely clean, large, comfortable, and private. It was easy to get to Acadia National Park, restaurants, and Bar Harbor. We had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and commumication with the owner was great!

Had a wonderful stay at this home. Spacious, clean and kitchen was big and had everything we needed and more! Beds were comfortable and the whole house was spacious. The deck was very nice and we saw several stars and the Milky Way from there. House is located in a nice quiet wooded area. Kellie was great, she checked in to be sure we had what we needed and even before we arrived was quick to respond to any questions I had. She had great suggestions to what to see|do in the area. We had 4 adults in our group and would recommend to anyone!

This home is in a great location within short distance from the main Acadia entrance and close to Bar Harbor. The house was perfect for two families to share comfortably and was quiet and beautiful. I was not happy with the amount of constant texts and messages from the host however. When on vacation we like to take it easy and relax, not easy to do with three small children to wrangle. The host was texting me often about getting her maintenence person into the house (two days during our 1 week stay) and I felt pressured that we should leave and get out and about early and often, plus an early morning phone call and text about the garbage going out, which we had already done. Our trip would have been more enjoyable without this disruption, otherwise it was a great place to stay.

Lovely home at the end of a cul-de-sac. Nice big yard where the deer and wild turkey would visit. Room to play frisbee and soccer in the yard. A relaxing hammock too. The layout of the house was great for our group. We had 6 adults and 2 children two years old and younger. Wonderful time to relax with family.
