We had a nice time in Maine. The house was fine for our stay. We visited Acadia most days and the location was an hour from MDI. Even though the only tv was in the basement, we were busy outdoors and really didn't miss it.

Easy and cozy
The hosts were easy-going and unintrusive. We spent the trip making day visits to Bar Harbor and within Acadia, and the evenings relaxing with a fire. Good heating, plenty of space to spread out for three of us, and clear instructions.

Lovely Long Weekend in Sorrento
The home and property were beautiful and well designed. Its a lovely home with plenty of room for 4 adults and one child. The property was a little closer to the road than we expected. The overhead light in living room had at least one bulb missing which made the room a little dim for reading etc at night.

Nature Getaway to Acadia
The house was more than accomodating and truly felt like a home away from home. We came to visit Bar Harbor and Acadia NP with our friends and pups. The location was very quiet and just what we needed after spending a few days visiting the busy town of Bar Harbor. The Winter Harbor part of Acadia was super close and such a nice part of the park since it was not very touristy and more geared to the outdoor enthusiasts. The house was very tidy, the rooms were comfortable and the outdoor space was perfect for evening chats around the fire. The local store Dunbar's was our favorite place to get some local baked goods and seafood during our stay. Overall, Post and Beam was in fact a hiker's dream and we enjoyed our time! Thank you

We had the best time in your serene location. Cute house, as advertised, and centrally located to both parts of Acadia National Park- though both are about a 20-30 minute drive.

Great location & beautiful home
We surprised my father in law with a trip to Acadia for his birthday. Rather than staying at a local hotel, we thought it would be fun to stay at the Post & Beam so that we could spend lots of time together, but still have our own spaces. Plus, we were able to bring the dogs! This home is close to many things, including Ellsworth, Schoodic, and Acadia and served as a great home base for our daily adventures downeast. Beds were comfortable, the deck offered a great place to relax, and the kitchen had all the basics that we needed. Susan, the property manager, was delightful to work with and was extremely responsive and efficient. I would recommend staying here if you’re looking for a home away from home experience.

Unforgettable Christmas
This home is so unique and beautiful. Well stocked kitchen, cozy living room and spacious bedrooms made this a perfect way to spend our Christmas away from home. The all house generator kept us up and running through the windstorm and the wood stove kept us warm. We woke to a white Christmas. Susan was responsive and helped us out with any issues we had.

A beautiful quiet spot
We loved this house! Favorites included the TV room and pool table in the basement, the cozy reading room/sunroom, the fire pit and the comfy couch with the big windows. The kitchen is small but adequate, and dogs would need to be leashed/ on a line outdoors if you bring them (the road is right next to the house and cars come by fast). It's about 40 minutes to Acadia, and the local convenience store had most of what we needed for basic cooking. Would recommend this place to anyone!

Nice place - very secluded
Beautiful property, a little further from Acadia and Bar Harbor then expected, but very quiet and secluded. Very overgrown when we arrived but situation was taken care of after a quick call to the property manager. Make sure you bring your bug spray if you plan on sitting outside. We did not use the basement area at all spent the majority of our time by the fire pit and we were not able to get the BBQ charcoals to stay hot enough to cook anything, but overall we enjoyed our stay.
