Great location. We were close to trailheads and store across the street was a plus. We will be back!

Property was as described.....and fairly close to Bar Harbor...would stay here again.

The location of the property is amazing. Next to the otter creek general store, 3 miles from seal harbor beach, which is amazing at low tide! Bar harbor center is just 10-15 minutes down the road. Also close to trail heads as well. Unfortunately there is a lot left to be desired in the house itself. It is well equipped with all the kitchen essentials, but everything is dated and well used, and it is almost impossible to cook on the pans. The oven, stove and toaster are super power and took awhile to get used to, not a problem there. The grill is falling apart, the covers for the burners are absolutely destroyed, there is rust everywhere. We love to grill, so that was a huge disappointment. If you are planning on getting a good nights sleep in a comfortable bed, you won’t get it here. The beds are really terrible, the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept in, as well as everyone else in the house. The pull out couches are disgusting, stained mattresses, no cushion, smelled of moth balls. The furniture is all dated and stained and need to be replaced. We did spend a decent amount of time in the house because of the weather, if it was nicer out we wouldn’t have been there much due to being uncomfortable, even sitting on the couches. There was also a section of dvds and vhs but no way to watch them, and most of the games left didn’t have the full game pieces. Overall it was a good stay, really needs updating and it would be spectacular.

Great location. Quiet neighborhood. Nice property.

Check out process was easy. Great location. Good amenities. Well stocked kitchen for cooking. Had a great time with extended family of11 members

Easy to find and check in, it was clean and roomy, backyard is large and has beautiful wildflowers. Location was convenient but also private, 15 minutes to downtown Bar Harbor and easy access to Acadia and trails.

This house has amazing views of the mountains and the trail heads are a short walk away. The living room is perfect to hang out in after a long day outside and the yard is big enough to set up games like corn hole. It was a great place to stay, rooms were comfortable and clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed.

Thank you for a clean and charming place for our family to stay in Sept 2021. Referring a friend to stay as well :)

House needs updating and new furniture. Kitchen needs an overhaul of utensils and pots and pans. In general the house needs TLC from owners. The location is great and the owners were very responsive to our communication.

This property has great access to all that Acadia has to offer. We appreciated the privacy of its location in Otter Creek Village and the convenience of the market across the street. The house is pretty new and rooms are spacious This was a great home base for our family.

Fantastic location and comfortable house surrounded by Acadia Park. Slept 9. Beautiful views. Would rent again.

Great location to Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park. Sue was extremely helpful and great to work with! We loved staying at her home. Plenty of space for my family to be comfortable. Would definitely stay again! The house was clean, sheets/blankets were provided. Great fire pit to sit outside at night and enjoy! There was a store across the road, which was super convenient, this was a huge plus! We were able to support a local business and get everything we needed without having to drive!

Easy 10 minute drive to everything we wanted to do. Plenty of room and everything we needed on property. Grocery across street is nice.

We loved the location of the property but the owner needs to invest in new clean furniture, stock the house better with towels & washcloths, pots & pans and hire better cleaners. There were cobwebs everywhere & black mold behind the toilet. Just a little bit investment would make this a great property. The couches were so filthy we had to cover them with blankets in order to sit on them. Like I said great location but house needs talc.

The property is well-located near hiking trails, a cute little convenience store, and the main Park Loop road that brings you throughout Acadia National Park. Sue was helpful in recommending hikes and we loved being able to see the stars at night while sitting around the firepit in the back of the house.

Was super convenient being right across from the market. Being located on the island also made it a short drive to all of the relevant attractions. Would recommend!

Negatives: Beds were very uncomfortable and made these squeaking noises every time you moved. The couches were uncomfortable and in need of replacing. Also, it would have been nice to have more towels and better pots in the kitchen. Positives: There was plenty of room for four adults and a teen to have their own space. The location was perfect for us and the views from the deck were spectacular.

This was our family vacation before sending my oldest to college. This home is very close to many trails head with varying difficulty. It is out of the main stream of Bar Harbor but close enough to enjoy the town or hop on a bus to spend time in different locations. The house itself is pretty basic. The beds were comfortable and there is enough room to sleep 10 comfortably including the 2 full size sofa beds. The couches have no support for sitting comfortably. We mainly just use it for a base to sleep and enjoy a meal. Because the house is set back off the road the star display at night is outstanding and the view of the Acadia National Park breath taking.

If you want a place where you can get directly into the mountains, this is it! From this house we hiked up the South Ridge of Cadillac Mountain, to the North Ridge - all the way on trails into Bar Harbor. We also did a nice hike that started at Sand Beach, up the Bee hive, over Gorham Mountain, to the Otter Cliffs and through a surprise shortcut path right back to our house. You can't beat this location. Not only can you get out quickly for short or long hikes, you can also hop on or off the Island Explorer Bus that stops right outside the house. The house itself was great, too. We stayed with my parents, adult brother and our young son. Everyone had their own spacious bedroom (the photos don't quite convey how large the rooms are). The kitchen was well stocked (though the pots could use some updating and deep cleaning) and the appliances all were in good working condition. The house had lots of travel guides, maps and tourist information - so we didn't need to look anything up. The living room couches were a bit tired and saggy, but there were other adequate seating options, too. The beds were comfy and we even got a change of sheets (which was nice because we needed the flannel early in the week and the cotton sheets when it got a little warmer). I don't view this to be negative, but some may - there was no cell phone reception. However, they have a phone there for local calls and emergencies. Honestly, I loved not being able to stay connected while I was on vacation, so it didn't bother me. The internet wi-fi was fast and reliable, so if you must...you can. It was great to have a rental with nice towels, linens, toilet paper and basic soap supplies too. I thought the towel allotment was more than adequate, especially with the washer and dryer available. Thanks - if we're going to Acadia next year, we'll definitely book again!

We stayed here for a week in September . First, the pros of this property. The location is very convenient to the park entrance and many of the trails we wanted to hike. It is also an easy drive into Bar Harbor. It is in a nice quiet area that was easy to find. The mountain views from the deck are fabulous, and we enjoyed several dinners out there on the picnic table. There is a nice yard. The Otter Creek Market is literally steps away, and there is a very good selection of food and supplies here at reasonable prices. This is also where the Island Explorer bus stops with pretty frequent stops here. The kitchen is well supplied. The bedrooms are spacious. Now, the cons. The house and kitchen appliances are new, but the furniture and bedding are not. The beds weren't real comfortable. The TV in the living room is about a 17" screen, and is hard to even see from the couch. The DVD player wasn't hooked up, so my husband figured out how to hook it up so we could watch a movie. There was no remote, so we had to get up every time we wanted to pause it or back it up. The TV in the upstairs bedroom was even smaller. Make sure you take extra towels and washcloths, because you only get 1 per person. Even with a washer/dryer, that wasn't enough for me for a week's stay. There was no instructions about what we were supposed to do when we arrived, and there was no house number on the property, so we weren't sure if we were even at the right place. We had to call the owner, got no answer, so we went to the nearby market, and he told us that was the rental. Security deposit was returned about 35 days after check out after an e-mail prompt from me. The last thing, which is probably trivial-there was an envelope on the kitchen counter from the maid asking for a tip. I though this was tacky. I would have left more had I not been prompted to do so. Overall though, spacious, and would easily accomodate a large family group. Very convenient location. Photos accurately depict the home.
