Perfect location for our trip to Acadia. Everything was so convenient, including wonderful restaurants including Helen’s and Union River Lobster Pot. We loved the gathering spaces in the house as well as how roomy everything was. It worked really well for three couples.

Beautiful house in a great location just remote enough to be quiet and still 10 minutes from both Bar Harbor and the parks. The house itself is beautiful and very homely and was cute and had all the necessary amenities and then some. The hosts were super helpful and responsive. Very happy!

The stay was great, and the host was responsive and helpful. It is very close to Acadia, and ideal if you want to visit the national park often during your stay.

A house with everything you need and a lot of extras. The pillows and bed were a great bonus. Minutes from a Walmart and a lot of great places to eat. Overall a great value.

Sonya user verified

★★★★★

Great house in a nice quiet location. Did not need to travel far for various day trips. Close to groceries and restaurants. House is on one level with plenty of room for everyone in the family.

Mary user verified

★★★★★

Beautiful home. Well laid out so that each of us had our own space when we needed it. The home is very comfortable, with nice furniture, clean bathrooms that are modern, and a lovely deck. We enjoyed our stay.

Nuoya user verified

★★★★★

We enjoyed the 5 days when we stayed at the house. Easy access to grocery stores and restaurants. About 30-40 mins away from the places we visit every day. Will come back again next time when we explore Acadia National Park.
