1. Lights in living room didn’t work 2. TV didn’t work - my husband had to go in the basement to check circuit breakers 3. No hot water 4. Awful communication with property owner 5. Dead mice and feces in basement Property owner expected my husband to be the repairman on our vacation. Not happening. We left to rent a hotel after one night and now are fighting for a refund. Also, you have to DRIVE to a boat yard to kayak, it’s not within walking distance.

Really enjoyed our stay. The views are amazing overlooking Stones Sound. The house was clean and larger than we anticipated. Great yard and deck and ideal location for exploring the island and Acadia National Park. Bobby the owner was responsive and a pleasure to deal with.

Very peaceful and cozy house, with beautiful view of Somes Sound. Bobby was very responsive and a gracious host!

Quiet location with a beautiful view of sunrises and sunsets from the wrap-around deck, and convenient to all parts of MDI. Enjoyed the views of boats and wildlife in Somes Sound. We were even visited by a family of white tailed deer eating the apples in the yard. The gas fireplace was nice to come home too on the late October nights. Would love to come back! Thanks Bobby:)

We had a fantastic stay on this property, all the comforts of home! I especially loved the gas fireplace, it quickly took a chill off of us after a day of exploring the island on a cool blustery day! I definitely will be recommending this property to anyone interested in our trip to Mt. Desert Island.

Nous avons apprécié la localisation, la proximité des sentiers de randonnée, la vue sur le Sound, la compagnie des chevreuils, le potager où nous avons cueilli des tomates, et la propreté impeccable de la maison.

Great location, beautiful views of boats and water from living room and awesome rear deck, very quiet and secluded. Well maintained with all essentials. Perfect location in Downeast Acadia for visiting all parts of Park and quaint coastal harbors and towns. The owner was very helpful with recommendations for places to see and dine. Highly recommend this home for couples or family.

I rented this property for 1 week with my mom, 2kids and husband. We wanted a place with views and ability for my son to fish easily. The location is central to SW/ Acadia trails and close to Northeast and Seal. Its a great location for many hikes on the SW side and a short car ride to SW high street. The boatyard was a nice bonus for my fish loving soon who could walk down and cast for a couple of hours in the afternoon. Hall Quarry is a quite street but the main road is a bit tough for young kids on bikes so we rode to the carriage trails. The house it self has a grandma's house feel in the best way. We were comfortable with the room size and layout. My son stayed in the room that linked ours but it was very spacious and he loved having a water view. My mom and daughter enjoyed the other 3rd room and had a private half bath to themselves. It is a bit of a throwback but clean and perfect for our needs. Barbara was helpful and a perfect host.

Thank you for providing a wonderfully comfortable setting for our family getaway! We loved the proximity to well everything and returning from our daily adventures to gather on the deck and reflect while taking in the magnificent view. Bobby’s home was fantastically clean and the kitchen equipped. Thank you.

The location and community are both quiet and incredibly beautiful. The view of the boat yard, Somes Sound, and Sargent Mountain from the house is wonderful. Overall, the location is well appointed to do laundry, cook, grill, and enjoy the wrap around deck if one chooses. It served as a great retreat as we explored Acadia National Park for the week.

Very clean and comfortable home. Close to town and hiking but away from the touristy areas. The house was very comfortable and clean. We had everything we could want available to us. The view was amazing, having coffee in the morning with the lobster boats coming and going, the deer in the yard, it was amazing. My wife and I come to the area a few times a year, this location is our favorite. Bobby was a great host and very responsive. Highly recommend this rental for your vacation.

It’s <30 mins from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, has great views of the water and mountains from the deck and throughout the house from the rooms. House is well kept and has a nice cozy feel to it. Strongly recommended!

The house was just the right size for us and we could see coming back so easily. It was so welcoming. Beautiful views, easy access to Acadia National Park and some of our other favorite local places. Echo Lake, Thuya Garden, Atlantic Brewing. We made it into Southwest Harbor for dinner for the first time and it was great. Our kids (3 & 5) are anxious for a return visit, they couldn't get over the deer in the backyard and the beautiful stars at night. It felt like home in an instant.

We enjoyed our stay and found the property perfect for our needs. our favorite were the deer that visited every evening. We hope to visit again.

We spent 7 nights in this wonderful house, which was frankly way more room than 3 of us needed, but it was such a pleasure to have plenty of space for our stuff, a garage for our bikes, etc. The extra room off of the MBR was nice to hang out and watch TV in the evenings after a full day of activities. Bobby was very attentive and responsive to our needs, an excellent hostess. Can't beat the location, overlooking Somes Sound, and with easy access to all of Acadia, including Echo Lake beach < 3 miles away, and Eagle Lake about 10-12 minute drive. We were able to put in our kayaks at the family marina right next door. Woke to beatiful sunrises over the sound most mornings, just sublime. The bathroom is a bit dated and only has a shower, which was really about the only minor negative about this home. We would definitely stay there again the next time we visit MDI.

Spent 6 nights with my family. Beautiful roomy house, perfect location. The house is clean and cozy with a beautiful backyard overlooking water, very peaceful and relaxing. Would love to stay there again.

What a great little house! If you are looking for a quiet get away close to all the attractions of Bar Harbor, this is a great place to stay! We spent five days here and had a great trip. The house is located on the side of the hill looking over Somes Sound. You do not have water access from the property but the view is beautiful from almost every room in the house! We spent more time sitting on the back deck overlooking the water than we did in the house! The house has everything you would need. We did not do any cooking while we were there but the kitchen has a new gas range and a new grill on the deck. We chose to eat out at the local restaurants in the area. It is a short drive to several different areas where you can enjoy waterfront dinning. The drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park is about 20 minutes, just far enough away that you are not in the tourist area but close enough to drive over without planning a trip for the day! This was our first trip to the area but we were lucky enough to pick what we considered the perfect area to stay! If we decided to take another trip to Maine (from Charleston SC) this would be our first choice as a place to stay! Bobby ownes the house and was great! She stopped by the first day to make sure everything was good and offered some ideas of places to eat and visit! She lives in the area so we took her advise and did not have any regrets!
