We had an amazing family trip to Mt Desert. The house and amenities were perfect. The host was very responsive to a few questions we had. The game room was perfect for the teens in our group.

One of the best VRBOs we have rented. Had everything we need for a relaxing weekend. Just the two of us but already thinking of the next multi-generational family vacation. It has something for everyone to enjoy.

Every aspect of this house is absolutely perfect for families with kids! The kids loved the playground and the game room, the adults enjoyed the sauna and the hot tub, and the setup downstairs was ideal for movie watching for the whole family. The location was ideal -- central to every part of the island but not in a high traffic area. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet. Cannot recommend this property enough!
