Home is located in a picture perfect setting, close to the park and restaurants, well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Charming, clean, and all-around lovely property!

We return to this property whenever we can. The home is beautiful, clean (no clutter), has comfortable beds, and a perfect location! We love the close proximity to Bar Harbor/Acadia and Ellsworth. There is always something to do in town or you can just relax on the deck and listen to the waves with a glass of wine. We can’t wait to return!

We enjoyed every second we spent at this house and the location was perfect. It was quiet yet still close to Ellsworth and Bar Harbor. Communication with the owners was excellent and we had everything that we needed for a week's stay.

Wow - we absolutely loved everything. The home is a beautiful post and beam- very cozy and comfortable. Everything you need is there. Most importantly the views are incredible from inside the hpuse to outside. We were so fortunate with beautiful weather- and my family is making plans for a trip in season! Thank you Daria for sharing your home and being a top notch host,!

We enjoyed our stay immensely! The house had everything we needed for a week away and our pup loved the fenced in backyard, with space to roam and play. It was a great location - short drive to the park for hiking each day. The house had great views to wake up to or close out the night. Really great place to stay!

The overall look of the house was great, but the lighting arrangement was a bit awkward. Plenty of windows to see the view of the water which is why we wanted to stay here.

The location, water views and beachcombing are really top notch here. The home is dated, but well kept and clean. We would definitely return!

Perfect property for a wonderful vacation! Will stay here again when visiting the area!

Extremely clean, comfortable home with beautiful private shore. We usually stay on MDI, but found the location of this home more convenient than most place on MDI to our favorite hikes, restaurants, etc. Recommend.

Beautiful home & location

The house and property were perfect. The house was exactly as advertised, clean and well equipped and the property was exactly what we needed for our young children and 2 elderly dogs. The access to the beach (in a relatively calm cove, which was a plus) was very easy for all of us - age ranged from 1 to 75. The location was also very easy to all of the offerings on Mt. Dessert Island.

We absolutely loved this place. Everything is decorated simply but beautifully, with incredible views out many windows. We loved the fenced-in yard, the waterfront, the huge deck area with seating, etc. It worked great for our extended family of 9 plus dog. We enjoyed being in a quieter area but easy access to Acadia and MDI. Make sure to keep the blinds closed during the day so it doesn't get too warm indoors. A few items need updating in the welcome book, but Daria was very responsive to inquiries.

We rented this home 7 years ago and were excited to be able to come back this year. The home is well situated to Bar Harbor and Mt. Desert Island. Our communication with the owner was always timely. The house is as described in the pictures. Overall, my family and I had a wonderful vacation!

This is our 2nd stay. It was wonderful location with privacy yet close enough for a short drive to bar harbor and Acadia. The house was very clean and the fenced in yard was great for the littles.

The layout of the house was perfect for our family of 8 plus 2 dogs. We rented kayaks which were delivered to the house upon our arrival and were picked up on the day of our departure. The deck was our favorite gathering spot. It took about 30 minutes to get to Acadia and the little harbor towns on MDI. Daria was very responsive if we needed her and the caretaker was fantastic as well. We would definitely recommend & return!

We took our kids and grandkids on a hiking/biking/tide pool-exploring week in Maine. This house was perfect. Lots of space to spread out, well-equipped kitchen, fenced yard, and proximity to Acadia were all big pluses for us. Owners were fantastic. Lots of well-organized information, and yet still a laid-back friendly vibe to all the interactions. We all agreed that the house is actually nicer than it looks in the listing! The only warning is the lack of air conditioning on the third floor (which they tell you about!). That does make the whole house run a bit warm, but fans running and open windows at night made it comfortable. I don’t know if we’ll make the 20-hour drive to Trenton again, but if we do I would love to stay here again :)

The property is in a great location with very quick and easy access to Mount Desert Island which is one of the reasons we picked it. The owners were great to deal with and very prompt with responses. The views from the house are beautiful. The house itself was comfortable, and by far the cosiest room was the master bedroom which is huge and had great views of the bay. The deck is great with lots of seating space to eat and/or just relax. We did have one or two cold evenings in the 40's and the max heat temperature is set to 72 degrees. There is a wood burning stove but guests are not allowed to use it. It looks like it has not been used for many years. Internet connection was very good. Lovely house and great location to explore Acadia and the surrounding area.

The cottage was perfect for our needs. Though we only had 5 adults, less than anticipated, there was more than enough room if others came with us. Plenty of sleeping and eating spaces and space to be alone. Never tire of the 4:30 am sunrise wake up or sitting on the shore watching the water. Beautiful views of the shore from the cottage. Short drives to anywhere on Mt. Desert Island. Owners responsive and kind. Very very happy with our first trip to Maine. Thank you Daria & Scott for helping to make our vacation wonderful!

A few friends and I enjoyed a wonderful week in the Acadia area, not the least of which was our stay at this property, which was right on the water and allowed for easy kayaking. The open layout of the main level of the house was very nice, and the variety of sitting areas (inside and out) were great for folks gathering for meals, games, etc. The fully fenced in yard was also great for a dog that loves to run and chase balls. We also enjoyed the large deck every morning for breakfast, as well as the fire pit in the large side yard a couple times. The kitchen had everything we needed, including to cook a couple dinners. Ms. Duda was very responsive and accommodating. Overall, just an ideal property.

The place was very nice, but the locale and views unsurpassed. Our family had a wonderful time!

The house was clean, comfortable and spacious for our family of seven adults. The view of the bay was awesome! We spent most of our time hiking in Acadia, which we loved and highly recommend, and then enjoyed our evenings in this nice house.

Enjoyed the sunrises and looking out towards the water. The fenced yard was perfect for our dogs to enjoy. The house was stocked with everything needed and was very comfortable.

The house and property are exactly as shown in pictures. It is very clean, lots of kitchen equipment, comfortable seating. It is a 20 -30 minute easy drive to Acadia, Bar Harbor. We had great weather the whole 2 weeks so used the deck almost every day. We hiked, biked and walked the carriage trails which does have some hills. Also biked on Schoodic Peninsula. The best part of this property is the spectacular sun and moon rises over the bay. We happened to luck out and had a harvest moon one night. We did drive up to Cadillac mountain during the day, a trip not to be missed.

This property has a beautiful view of the bay and Cadillac mountain in the distance. The deck is a great place to relax after a long day of hiking. With direct access to the shore it was nice to walk along the water and wade in the bay. We also used the fire pit for s'mores, and the fully stocked kitchen to make dinner. The house came stocked with paper products, dish soap, trash bags, and laundry detergent - a nice plus so we didn't have to rush out immediately to purchase those things. We had one issue with the oven (user error), that Daria quickly sent someone to address. The only thing that was not perfect was the lack of AC on the third floor which we knew about ahead of time. We hoped we didn't need it, but were there during a recent "heat wave" and the third floor bedroom was very warm. . I loved this rental house, and the fact that we could take our dog. Thinking about the view from the deck makes me wish I were there right now!

We enjoyed our week very much. The house allowed our group of 7 (plus a dog) to spread out. The large fenced- in yard was perfect for the dog. The fire pit was great. We enjoyed kayaking ( we brought our own boats) in the bay and saw seals. We enjoyed relaxing at the house, and daily trips onto Mount Desert Island. Highly recommend people park at the visitor center and take the Islander bus to downtown Bar Harbor. Parking is a nightmare. We recommend this house and would stay here again.
