This house is well maintained, comfortable and close to Acadia National Park. We really enjoyed the hot tub after a day of hiking.

The home is very comfortable and the hot tub was welcome after a day of hiking in the park.

We stayed for 4 nights in early October. The property is great for a crowd. There were plenty of towels and kitchen essentials. Although there were just two couples in our group and we did not utilize the home much, it suited our needs. The guys did enjoy the hot tub one evening. We were in the area for the first time and wanted to see all we could see in a short time, so we left early mornings and returned late evenings. I would definitely stay here again if we were in the area. The nightlights in the rooms and the dual coffee pots (a Keurig and a full coffee pot) were much appreciated. They even had coffee pods available to start our first day, if we needed them. The beds were comfortable. The only issue (and really by the next morning it was not an issue after we saw where we were) was that we arrived late on our first day, well after dark. The lane is hard to see at night and when we pulled onto the lane, the grass was grown up on each side. There were old trucks and an old garage on either side as we entered. We missed the 1 on the house number and drove past it thinking we had to go farther to our destinatiion but then wound up in someones driveway so we turned around and noticed that this was actually house number 13. It was just kind of an eery vibe entering but at daylight we saw where we were and everything was fine. I only write this to let anyone know if they enter after dark with the same experience, you'll be ok. Thanks for a great stay!

Wonderful location. Close to everything but away from everything. The house is lovely, beds comfy, and very well stocked. Would definitely stay again!

Family vacation for 6 adults, 3 yr old, and infant. We really enjoyed the spaciousness of the inside and out of the home. Loved the wrap around porch, firepit, hot tub, and large dining area. Surrounded by trees, and felt very private. We cooked in most evening meals, and the kitchen was well stocked with a Keurig, and drip coffee maker, pots, pans, knives, kitchen gadgets, etc. Even a lobster pot. The owner was very prompt in answering emails with any questions we had. For infant, we used the pack-n-play (in downstairs closet) but note to people bringing own linens for that. It is a larger model, so the current fitted sheets and mattress pad my daughter-in-law brought didn't fit. No worries, though, I just wrapped it in a towel, then wrapped the pad like a package. We did NOT have any issues with water pressure while we were there. Bathrooms were well equipped, and there were plenty of towels. Would definitely return.

This property was very secluded and a country setting which we loved.The property owner thought of everything that we would need for our stay.Anytime I messaged him with questions he answered every question we had.If we ever come back we would rent this house again.

I stayed here for 4 nights with my mom and sister for a fun girls' trip, and we all agreed the home was just what we needed. The location is great! You feel secluded even though there are a few other homes near you, you cannot see them. We saw so many deer from the porch! I swear everytime we walked out the door there were multiple deer, included fawn. The three bedrooms were spacious. The downstairs shower was fantastic! We didn't do any cooking on our trip, but the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. There is a great coffee shop within walking distance from the house as well! It was a bit too damp while we were there to get a fire going in the fire-pit, but just sitting out there enjoying the peace was good enough for us. The check-in/check-out process couldn't have been easier, and there was not a long list of things for us to take care of before checking out like I've had at other vacation rentals. This was the first time visiting MDI for everyone in my group, and we all agreed we'd have to come back again.

The house was well appointed. The home was in a quit neighborhood but easy access to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and all that the area has to offer. By far one of the best places I have stayed in. Liked the layout of the main living area. Sleeping was comfortable.Communicationn was effortless. Owner replied very quickly with any questions. Checking in and out a breeze. Would definitely stay there again. Great for couples and families.

Our multigenerational family thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. The house was clean and comfortable and very convenient to Acadia access And nearby towns. We loved our stay and the host was extremely responsive to all of our inquiries. The hot tub was fantastic as was the gas grill and firepit! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Nice roomy place. Met our needs. Family enjoyed it a lot. We had a fire one night and were treated with a doe and her fawn daily. It is a bit of a drive to Bar Harbor and park loop road but not bad. Found nice places to eat nearby. I'd recommend.

Nice and quite. Deer passing through. Great hot tub and relaxing fire pit area. Nice rooms with comfy beds. Wonderful kitchen and the shower downstairs was the best. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice getaway for the whole family. Felt like we were at home. Lots of little details and considerations were evident that just make traveling easier. Definitely recommend!

This house was clean and comfortable and we would definitely stay here again!

We had an incredible stay in this beautiful home! Clean, comfortable, and full of amenities, including family games and puzzles! Loved being on the quieter side of MDI but still close enough to all desired attractions. Lovely outdoor space. Would love to return in the future!!

Our main destination was Acadia National Park. The house was about 15-20 minutes from most of the parks sites and 20 minutes to downtown Bar Harbor. So overall the location for us was good. The property is very secluded and quiet which was nice. We had a deer walk through the yard within 30 minutes of being there! Plenty of space for our family of 4. There were a few minor things we noticed could use some attention. Here are the not so great things: the shower heads need to be replaced with an actual head with holes for water to come out. What is there now essentially is a "mist". This has nothing to do with the water pressure because that was fine. The queen bed in the "kids" room is horribly uncomfortable so be sure a child sleeps there (as opposed to an adult) or avoid it all together! The hard floors especially on the main level are in desperate need of a good scrubbing. With those things said, the house was great for our needs. The hot tub was an extra bonus and was very nice. The kitchen was well stocked for making our own meals. Plenty of towels and blankets provided. Overall we would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Great location! Close to Acadia (20 minute drive). Property was quiet and private. Very close to Beech Ladder trail and Bass Harbor lighthouse. Local restaurants are shops closed a bit on the early side (7:00-8:00); maybe it was because we visited in early June. The house was very nice. Kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of towels. Firepit was nice! There was some wood and kindling supplied. Nice touch. The only improvement we would have liked to see in the house was better shower heads. Overall great experience!

This was a great rental overall. We did have a lot of huge ants downstairs and some other bugs as well (no biting bugs). We were not a fan of the shower heads that only had a mist like quality. Other than that, we liked the homey feel and quiet atmosphere. All the beds we’re comfortable except the full size bed.

Stayed here for a weekend of climbing in Acadia and had a fantastic time. The house was great and well equipped and the hot tub was the best way to relax after a day on the rocks.

My family and I had a wonderful time. Beautiful house & friendly host. Thank you Thom

Amazing stay! Quaint house that felt secluded, but also close drive to Southwest Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Hot tub was also a huge plus in the evenings! Highly recommend!!

Great stay, everything as advertised.

Beautiful property in a quiet area of Mount Desert Island. 30 minutes from the most popular parts of Acadia NP, but only 5-10 minutes from some equally amazing, but quieter areas. Well stocked kitchen. Laundry facilities. A great retreat for our family of 6 during our trip to Maine/Acadia National Park.

Everything you need without being directly in Bar Harbor. Easy access to eveything.

Wonderful stay at this very well-equipped property! It was conveniently located. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub each evening after a full day of activities in Acadia.

Really nice property in an idyllic setting. We loved being in Southwest Harbor vs. fighting the crowds of Bar Harbor. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great location within 30 minutes to all the attractions we were interested in. Lots of info provided by host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

I have to say that when we turned on the narrow gravel road I was a little worried, but this is a gem of a house! Set back in the woods and a beautiful place, does it get any better than having a couple of deer walk into the yard and watch as you unload your luggage??? The house was very well appointed and had everything we could possibly need to ensure a great stay. We enjoyed sitting on the porch every morning watching the bunnies play in the yard. The beds were comfortable and the shower is amazing!! Our son and his family were camping in the area and came over for dinner two nights. Nine people at the table and no one was crowded. There was plenty of room for all of us to sit in the living area for visiting, too. The children enjoyed the stash of books. We spent some time enjoying reading to them after dinner. The fact that this house is right in Southwest Harbor was a plus too. We were a super short drive from everything there and an easy drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. We would love to stay at this home again!

Exactly as described, nicely equipped. Beautiful, quiet, wooded setting. On the outskirts of Southwest Harbor (which is an awesome town), but not far from Northeast Harbor. So much to do in the area: hiking, kayaking, boat tours/ferries, boating, biking, lake swimming. Would stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed starting our mornings on the porch with coffee and ending the night in the hot tub. We would highly recommend this place!

I’m almost hesitant to leave this review because I don’t want anyone else to find out about this gem! First, I had excellent communication with the owner(s). Very responsive to my questions. What you see in the pictures accurately depicts what see when you arrive, which isn’t always the case when booking a property. The main reason I booked this property it had 3 full bedrooms to accommodate 3 couples and a toddler. You are getting full beds not bunkbeds. If you think you need to bring some sort of appliance, gadget or utensil don’t because they pretty much have thought of everything. I noticed they even had a pack n play in the closet for an infant. There are games and puzzles galore. There is a smart tv with all the apps you need with great Wi-Fi. The property was very clean. As far as location you are 20 min from downtown Bar Harbor and right next to Acadia National Park. Just one recommendation for anyone booking the property. We traveled quite a long way to Maine and didn’t want to bring food with us but purchase food when we arrived. I searched and there is an IGA market nearby and I expected to pay a higher price which I did the first night. But there is a Walmart 30 min away and more than likely you will be passing it on your way to the property. So, leave some time for yourself before arriving to stop or make the 30 min drive like I did the next day. Ok one more tip pick up a bundle of firewood from the many people selling it on the side of the road for the fire pit. We will definitely be returning at some time in the future. Thanks again to Thom we had a great time.

My kids felt comfortable right away and said it felt homey :) Lots of board games and books to keep them busy. Short drive to Jordan Pond and Cadillac mountain, shops, stores and restaurants. We would stay here again.

This property is on the quieter, less busy part of Mt. Desert, yet short distance to all activities. We VRBO a lot, and finally...sharp knives. Thank you. We would definitely stay again.
