Great location and amenities!
The house comfortably accommodated 9 of us (5 teens & 4 mothers) for a weekend basketball tournament on MDI. The photos represented the property perfectly! The price to stay 2 nights was fair and commensurate with the quality of the property! The mattresses were surprisingly comfortable! And the living room was large enough to accommodate a midnight dance party and TikTok video creation!! We'd definitely stay again!!

Perfect Location for the MDI Marathon
We loved the location of this property! We stayed in MDI for the marathon last weekend and the route went right past the house. We were able to see my wife along the route, which was so much fun for our kids! The house is clean and well furnished. I'd highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bar Harbor.

Great family friendly spot near Acadia
We stayed in this lovely home for a couple of days for a visit to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Our group included three generations, and all had plenty of comfortable space to spread out. Some special features included two dishwasher drawers, two sets of washer/dryers, and two living areas. The upstairs has a fun sleeping porch feel and includes a full bathroom, and would be perfect for multiple children or a group of girlfriends. The kitchen was well appointed and has a nice island with barstools. We had three deer that visited us in the evenings as well! This was a perfect spot for our first visit to Acadia, and we would not hesitate to stay here again!

Acadia Family Vacation
This was the perfect place for my family to stay! It is a very quaint home - clean, comfortable and nicely furnished/decorated. Excellent location for visiting Acadia National Park - close enough to everything, but away from the crowds. Host was quick to respond to any questions. Would definitely recommend! Thank you!

4 days in our Maine Family Road Trip
We had a great time in Acadia. The house is big and close to the park. We had a great time.
The rooms offer different level of comfort. The kitchen is well equiped and we were provided enough towels for our large group. The check-in and out were seamless.
The only caveat about the house is that it’s close to the road and the big dorm room has a window unit not verry well sealed. It was noisy. Besides that we had a great stay.

Charming retreat at Acadia
Our extended family group loved this charming farmhouse near Acadia. Spotlessly clean and well appointed, we enjoyed our stay - the porch and fire pit were a big hit and the upstairs bedroom was like a slumber party. The kitchen had everything we needed and the host was super communicative.

Great place on MDI
It was an awesome escape to MDI in the winter! The heated floors in the bathroom sold it and while it was just two of us, the house would be great for a large family.
