Lovely stay

Amanda was wonderful to communicate with and we enjoyed her place. For hiking in Acadia, it’s a bit of a drive but there also a few nice things nearby to enjoy. If you plan on cooking, the kitchen is very under supplied but Amanda is happy to supply anything you may need.

Amanda was excellent host and was very responsive to questions. Home was clean, cozy and comfortable for our family of 4 and dog. We enjoyed the proximity to the tidal falls which offered dark skies to observe the meteor showers and aurora borealis. Easy drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor (approx 45 mins).

Perfect for trip to Acadia & surrounding area

This house was a great location to explore Acadia and the surrounding coastal area. The house was impeccably clean and a great set up with a very comfortable living area to gather and visit in the evening. We appreciated having a full kitchen to prepare meals. Amanda was great to communicate with and even made sure there were lights on to welcome us when we arrived our first night later than we had expected to.

Maine Getaway

The property was clean and had all the furnishings we needed. We enjoyed the proximity to Tidal Falls and ease of access to Acadia. The beds were very firm and the smaller bathroom was cramped. There wasn't even a space for a hand towel. But otherwise it suited our needs and was a nice retreat for the weekend.

Lovely home, well supplied. Location a little remote but quiet. The owner was friendly and helpful. Glassed in porch a big plus. Only negative was that the one full bath required one couple to pass thru the other couple’s bedroom to use the bathroom.

Quiet, Comfy, Close to Bar Harbor

Place was on par and better than expected in some ways. Bonus-Wurlitzer Organ! We had an enjoyable time overall. Beds on the shorter side but still super comfy. Amanda was very accommodating when after a few days of heavy rain an inquiry about a dehumidifier for the lower level was accommodated immediately and did the trick for us. Very enjoyable.

Brand new, beautiful home!

We had a lovely stay at Amanda’s VRBO. The home is very newly renovated, with modern decor and is kept immaculately clean. The sunroom brings in a lot of light, and I imagine the fire adds a nice atmosphere (though you can’t use it in the summer months). The kitchen supplies are very limited, which wasn’t an issue for us since we didn’t do any cooking during our stay, but I can see this being a problem for those wanting to cook larger meals. Acadia National Park is a solid 45-50 minute drive away, so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this home if you plan on going to the park every day like we did. But Amanda’s notes included closer hiking paths and things to do more locally if that’s of interest. Highly recommend this VRBO if you’re sticking around the Hancock area!

Not as described in listing

This home is immaculate and beautifully decorated but be aware that there is only one private bedroom. There is another open room with no door at the bottom of the stairs adjacent to the bedroom with 2 beds which would be suitable for a family with children but it is not suitable for 2 couples. Also be aware that the sleeping area is located in the basement. The one air conditioner in the tiny half bath is not sufficient to provide cooling comfort for the first floor. On the positive side, in addition to being tastefully decorated, there is a bright, comfortable sunroom off the living area and as I've already mentioned, the home is absolutely immaculate.

Great quiet location, tidal falls are outstanding!

We drove to Acadia NP early (Mt. Desert and Schoodic Pt) in the morning to avoid the crowds, and walked to explore the tidal falls each afternoon. It was an outstanding location and away from the hustle and bustle. We enjoyed catching crabs and seeing sea stars and seals at the tidal falls at low tide. The glass window porch was a great place to relax with the windows open and breeze blowing in the evenings. The sitting area under the car port was great in the heat of the day. Cooking tinsels were somewhat limited, but we made it work for us. It would have been nice to have a frying pan/skillet, and the sink faucet head was stuck on high spray mode which made everything wet with overspray if the water was turned on full. Overall, this was exactly the type of place we wanted. The beds were very comfortable, and the place worked well for our family. For those of you traveling East in summer to Maine, keep in mind the sun rises very early on the eastern side of the eastern time zone. It can be bright very early! All the more reason to get up and out to see the sights early and avoid the crowds if going to Acadia.

Highly Recommend This Special Place

This is a lovely home in a serene setting. There is plenty of room inside to spend time together or spread out in the delightful sunroom, living area, or bedrooms. The yard is big enough for outdoor games. The patio area is covered, so it’s possible to enjoy the outdoors even on a rainy day. The kitchen is well equipped with most everything you need to cook and have a nice meal at the dinner table. Both bedrooms are very nice and located on the lower (basement) level. If you are two couples traveling together rather than a family with children, you need to be aware that one bedroom is open to the stairway with no wall or door. The occupants of the main bedroom will have to go through the bedroom with two double beds to access their room. We considered this an ideal location with easy access to both main areas of Acadia National Park (Mt. Desert Island and the Schoodic Peninsula). Tidal Falls is SO close! (Two-minute drive or a ten-minute walk.) There is a picnic area at the falls with room for children to play. We enjoyed multiple visits at different tide levels to observe this rare phenomenon. The surrounding beauty, sunroom and Amanda’s many thoughtful touches make this a special place to stay.

Fresh, Quiet, and Relaxing

This was our first trip to Maine, and we had little context of where we wanted to go or stay. We visited during high season (August), and felt fortunate to find such a nice place to stay. The cottage is indeed recently remodeled/updated. Everything is fresh and new. The owner pays excellent attention to detail as all supplies are available and adequate. The kitchen is equipped with the perfect essentials - including plenty of paper goods since there is no dishwasher. The bedrooms are below. We don't live in an area that has basements, so I believe you would call it the basement. There are windows and natural light in both rooms. The owner provided a great de-humidifier since we were there during high humidity. We aren't big TV watchers, but the Smart TV was a little small,. It has the main streaming apps (HULU, Netflix, Prime...). We couldn't figure out how to add apps, and didn't want to take the time to work through it. The location is great. We walked to Rapid Falls several times. We were intrigued on how the water flows different directions at different times. We drove to Acadia National Park and surrounding areas daily. What a beautiful place! Thank you!

Rustic Retreat

The main level of Amanda’s home was beautifully decorated. The couches were very comfortable and there were plenty of seats for everyone in our group. There were lots of windows on the main level which gave us some great views of the wildlife. However, there were no blinds, shades, or curtains on any of the windows. There were very minimal kitchen utensils or cooking supplies, although the grill and patio area was nicely arranged. There were tons of insects in the rental upon our arrival and throughout our stay. The air conditioning made the temperature comfortable on the main floor, but basement sleeping area was quite warm. The description and pictures of the basement bedrooms were misleading. There was a very lovely, large bathroom/laundry room in the basement. Although Amanda provided a dehumidifier, the basement still felt damp. The listing indicated there were two bedrooms. There was one bedroom with a door that closed. The second sleeping area was in the remaining open basement space. There was no door/privacy. The open sleeping space was exposed to the light and sound from the main floor, and it was very tough to sleep while anyone was using the main floor.

Perfect escape for our little family!

Our family had a great stay at Amanda’s VRBO. She and her daughter have done a wonderful job with the remodel and they’ve created a space that’s warm and inviting. During our stay, it was unusually hot for the area (90+). It was great to have the air conditioning. However, as the rooms are on the lower level, stays nice and cool downstairs, regardless of whether the air is on or not. The small sun porch is very warm during the day, but at night, when the window are open with a cross breeze, it’s a fabulous place to relax, read, and stare up at the stars:-) The house was very clean and stocked with everything we needed to make our stay effortless. The location was perfect. It was quiet and peaceful and appears to be in a very safe location. There is a large enough yard for the kids to get out their wiggles and for yard games. It also has a great little outdoor seating area for relaxing and grilling. We loved the proximity of the property to “all the things”—it was far enough away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to Bar Harbor and both areas of Acadia that it didn’t feel like you were driving forever. The Tidal Falls are also very close, and we loved them!!! We visited almost every every evening to check out the sea life along the rocks at low tide—we saw SO many sea stars!!!! Amanda left multiple recommendations for things to do and even helped us find a very nice swimming hole for us all to cool off in. Overall, our stay was excellent and we would stay again in the future. Amanda was very easy to communicate with and the little home was the perfect getaway for our little family.

Beautiful little home near the Maine coast and Acadia

My husband, 2-year old son, and I had a wonderful long weekend here. The location was great-- very peaceful, right by a really neat little beach/tide pool area, and about 40-50 minutes from Acadia. The house was very nice and we had a lovely stay.

Had some quirks

Pretty disappointed with this visit. We killed many bugs and spiders. The house had a strong musty smell. The only window AC on the main floor was in a bathroom-keep the door open to cool the main floor. Small tv in the living room for the size of the room. Bathroom rugs were dirty. The beds were in the basement. The room shown on the listing with 2 beds is at the bottom of the steps, no door.
