The location of this property is quiet and gorgeous. I would definitely stay here again!

This property had everything needed for a large family, plenty of bedrooms an baths, laundry, dog friendly, and was easy for a toddler to run around in. Great view in a quiet location. My only complaint was with the kitchen, one of the stove burners did not work and the pantries were a bit disorganized but we made it work and it did not distract from the experience.

Otherwise great place for a family Lots of fans for hot days No air conditioning but close to echo lake Seal harbor and private beach near by where the seals greeted you at night Kyacked in the beach area as well

Peaceful, beautiful, ping pong! Awesome time!!

A major problem during our stay was the discovery of a significant mold issue in a bathroom and downstairs bedroom. These were rooms not initially accessed. Notified the property owner and asked for a proposal to refund a portion of the cost of my stay. My rationale was simple - as an environmental professional, I know mold does not spontaneously manifest itself in a day or two. It was evident that neither a cleaning service, the property owner or their caretaker sufficiently inspected the property between guests as the presence of mold was plainly visible. Mold can pose a real health hazard and is a respiratory irritant. Just google health effects of mold. I contacted the property owner via email and included several photos. The property owner's response to my request for his proposal to refund a portion of cost: I received an apology, an acknowledgement that they understood if we wanted to leave the day I notified them and a proposal for a refund that was woefully inadequate; equivalent to one night's stay based not on the total I paid for the rental, but on the total minus VRBO's take prorated over the remaining 4 nights. Their offer was equivalent to approximately one night's stay. I sought a 50/50 split of the cost of my stay. My view was that no one should have to rent a property that has the potential to impact your health. Acknowledging that they understood if we wanted to leave the day we discovered the problem meant nothing. We were several days into our stay and the likelihood of finding a comparable accommodation (minus the mold) for 4 nights in Bar Harbor was highly unlikely. There was no offer from the property owner to cover our cost even if we could find something so that made it that much more disingenuous. We essentially had no other option but to stay the course and not utilize the space with mold. Even taking that step, understand that you are still being exposed to mold as it would have likely be airborne throughout the home. We agreed to have the caretaker inspect the situation (another disruption to the vacation) who observed what we observed. Bottom line: no reasonable refund offered, significant disruption to vacation, VRBO non-supportive.

The location of this house on the "quiet side" of Mt Desert Island is ideal for those who want to spend peaceful and relaxing time in a beautiful setting. The views from deck are spectacular particularly the sunsets - pictures don't capture the beauty of them. The trail nearby which leads down to the waterfront at Indian Point through the Blagden Preserve is a nice little hike through a quiet and peaceful wooded area. The house is spacious and attractive, great for a family vacation. We were very pleased and have great memories of our stay.

This house was comfortable for four couples. We did not use the downstairs Living ares although it provided a comfortable sitting space. When we were home, and not sightseeing, we spent most of our time outside on the deck, which provided beautiful panoramic views. When we arrive, we found the house somewhat dirty and had to do some cleaning up before we settled in. The kitchen is somewhat small to maneuver but was very well stocked. We appreciated that there was a gas grill and a charcoal grill, and used both! The house was in a secluded location and quiet and peaceful, but convenient enough to get to the places we wanted to go.

Our family loved staying at this beautiful secluded property. We enjoyed the beautiful view and peaceful setting.
