Ideal location

This location was a perfect location. Only 10 minutes to Visitor center or Cadillac Mountain or a short drive into Bar Harbor. The property had plenty of entertainment options for our group. We loved the great room and the openness of the downstairs made meal time a great family event.

Comfortable stay for our large group

Overall really pleasant stay. We loved the fireplace tucked into the woods and the ping pong table. The house and rooms are really large, but they could benefit from adding multiple beds in some of the rooms so people don’t have to sleep on couches, and minor easy updates to decor throughout the house would make this property stand out. Really good proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia.

Family time in a great spot

We loved the spacious home since there were nine of us. Well stocked kitchen except for lack of dishwasher. We used all the amenities-- kayaks, hot tub, ping pong, fire pit, grill and had a a great time together. Lovely property by the river.

Acadia gem

This house is great for families including multigenerational families. We loved the tire swing, fire pit and hot tub. Having the high chair and pack and play was a nice surprise. Maybe you could add it to the home’s amenities so future families don’t have to rent them like we did. Great location to access the park and for excellent restaurants in bar harbor.

Great House!

The kitchen was well equipped, although it doesn’t have a dishwasher…just FYI. Some other reviews mentioned being on the main road with traffic. We didn’t mind that at all. The house was so centrally located that we were able to get to all of the island within 10-20 minutes. It was a great location!! And the back of the house is very peaceful and secluded…no other houses around. We made a fire in the fire pit most nights and enjoyed kayaking around the river! The hottub was great after all the hiking we did. Our family of 8 were very comfortable there! Thanks!

This is a great house for a large family. The back yard and deck are wonderful! Access to the quiet side of MDI is so easy and nice, and access to the busier side is 10-15 minutes away when that's what you're looking for. Host is very responsive and helpful!

House location is perfect for Bar Harbor and Acadia. Water way behind house was really nice for kayaks, which are provided with the rental house. Fire pit was a great addition to the house for family nights. Overall, house was great. Could use some updating of couches in first floor living room for more comfortably. No a/c on first floor. If listed in rental I missed it. Temps were higher than expected the week we stayed so it was hot. Upstairs bedrooms and family room were much nicer and comfortable to relax in.

Nice proximity to attractions.

The house was relatively clean and the two service issues were addressed quickly. The house is right on the Main Street, so was very noisy with lots of traffic going by. We couldn’t use fire pit or hot tub because there were too many mosquitos.
