We had a family of four along with our Boston terrier staying for a week in the house. The check in process could not have been easier and the house itself was just as advertised. We had a great time sitting on the back deck either eating breakfast, lunch or dinner and sometimes seeing the deer in the backyard....our dog would go up to them and just stare and they did not care. The house had everything you would want as long as you read the book in the front room about where everything was located, the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials (like a pot for boiling lobsta!). The drive to the small preserve at the end of the peninsula was only about five minutes and the trail there took you to an awesome beach that hardly anyone was at for the times that we went. Bar Harbor was only about 35 minutes depending on traffic which gave us time in the car to map our routes we wanted to go. If you do get a chance, please go into downtown Ellsworth and go to fogtown brewery....you will not be disappointed. We would come back and stay at the house in a heartbeat, thank you again for giving us the opportunity to utilize your lovely house.

If you want to get away to a quieter part of Maine, but still close to MDI, this place is for you. A cozy porch for your early morning coffee or afternoon reading always awaits. The small towns nearby offer plenty of places to eat, if you don't want to cook.

Nice. A little out of the way but not bad. House was fine. One ac unit on porch area and one upstairs in bedroom. Maybe another one in downstairs bedroom would have made the house comfy temp wise… got a little warm but there were a couple fans we used. Overall a decent place.

Wanted to have my cousin and his wife experience some of the Maine scenes and food. Bar Harbor was on the top of the list. Susan, the host, was easy to message and quick to respond. We had a great fun filled and relaxing week

The house was fine, laundry, shower, etc were good. However, the kitchen wasn't stocked very well- not enough dishes or cooking pots etc., at least for our family size. Could have been better stocked and nicer. The master bedroom bedding needed to be washed. At least the blankets and pillow cases needed washing (they were visibly dirty, not stains.). There were screens missing in the master bedroom, which let bugs in, or had to keep closed at night and it got hot. Otherwise, place was nice and has potential to be better! Thank you, we over all enjoyed our stay.

Stayed at this property for the Memorial Day weekend. Very nice and quiet area. We did couple trips to Acadia. Few min from the house there is Carter’s Beach which offers nice relaxing views.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The property was very clean and well appointed space. Very peaceful area we had a restful few days.

House was lovely, very clean, nice quiet area

We had a really great stay at this home. It was spacious and the upstairs bathtub was a delight after a long day biking. The area is great for biking to Frenchmens bay, Acadia and Bar Harbor is close enough to take a day trip. We enjoyed the quiet of the area and the sleepy country setting.

1. The house was locked up and hot. The two tiny air conditioners did not do much to cool it off. The two first floor bedrooms stayed hot day and night the week. 2. Emailed the property manager Saturday night for more fans. Got no response the whole week. 3. The sliding glass door and screen are a wreck. Very hard to slide them and close them. Consequently flies, bees and other bugs were able to get into the house. No fly swatter was found. The door and screen need to be replaced immediately. 4. The moldy and torn shower curtain in the first floor bath was inexcusable. This needs to be replaced immediately. 5. The kitchen utility knives were rusty. These need to be replaced immediately. Overall, for a few hundred dollars and some attention this house could be a great place. Unfortunately it appears to be under used and poorly managed.

We enjoyed our stay very much, the house was spacious and there was plenty of room for all of us. The area was beautiful and quiet, my dog Nellie loved running around in the yard. The drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor was a pleasant drive approximately 35-40 minutes each way.

Love the location with easy 7 min walk to the cove. Awesome place to put in your kayak at high tide! Easy drive to Schoodic Peninsula which became our favorite location to climb rocks.

What an amazing find. We had a great time at this property with three adults and three kids (including one infant). Beach access is a short walk away, and our family loved the variety of short bike rides (2 miles) that gave us access to Hancock Point, Carter's Beach, and other places with tidepools and beach views. Inside the house was almost perfect, needing just a few updates to make it more comfortable for a family, e.g., better kitchen supplies; darkening curtains in all bedrooms; etc. A few tweaks and this stay would be perfect for the next family.

Nice clean property. Quiet neighborhood. Well equipped. Convenient to supermarket. There’s a community garden and 2 mile trail through the woods around the corner. And just a few miles from Tidal Falls Preserve.

We had a lovely stay at this home for our first visit to Maine. The teens were happy to have their own rooms, and we enjoyed having the upper floor all to ourselves. The area is pretty and quiet. Susan, the property manager, was very helpful and responsive, and wanted to make sure our vacation was fantastic.

Property was perfectly positioned between all our hikes in Acadia. Kitchen well set up to cook all meals. Relaxing quiet area. Great time

This property was great! It felt private, but it was close to everything! The yard was big and the owner was quick to answer questions I had! I would stay here again

Nice home, location was a bit more rural than we expected.

Overall this was a lovely stay. A little further from Bar Harbor than expected and they could use some reading lights in the living room and downstairs bedrooms.

Our stay was great. The house had everything we needed. Susan was wonderful to deal with.

My daughter had to leave after second night because the beds were uncomfortable. Twin beds are for little kids and not for older children. There were only two chairs in sunroom where the tv was located. No tv in living room. We couldn’t stay together as a family to watch movies. Furniture in living room was not comfortable so we couldn’t hang out there. Chairs were hard as a rock. Sofa was very small. We we’re not able to spend time together as a family which is what we had hoped for. Kitchen sink was clogged as well.

Such an amazing property in an amazing location. Great house, well maintained and very clean (this is a must for us). Most days we drove to Acadia...make sure you take few hours to visit the location where the house is. One mile from the house there is a very nice short hike through a very dense forest (Salt Pond Preserve Frenchman Bay Conservancy)...my kids told me it looks like the enchanted forest from Harry Potter ;)...it ends at an amazing beach, from where you can take a short walk to the harbor.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property was spacious and even nicer than it looked in the pictures. We spent a lot of time exploring the nearby Tidal Falls, and Bar Harbor was only about a 30 minute drive away. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a Maine getaway!
