Very cozy home in the woods! Robust selection of kitchen items, games, books, and DVDs. We loved spending 6 days here in July with my sister and her family. We especially loved the fresh eggs waiting for us in the fridge! One note about being there in the summer- the sun rises very early, so bring a sleep mask if you’re sensitive to light in the mornings :)

Great home to stay in for a trip!

My family and I stayed here for 3 nights on a trip to Acadia. The location was nice, area was quiet and very calm. The property was also great, the only issue we had was some bugs that were around the house. The coffee provided was one of the best we've had! Susan was very kind and very helpful throughout the stay, I definitely recommend this place and would book again.

We love this property, and our visits here may become an annual tradition. 11 of us stay to visit family in the area and the house setup works well for the adults and teens to each have their own space, or for all of us to get together. The hosts are very friendly and responsive- thank you!

Great family vacation

We were at Sue’s house for a family vacation and had a great time. The house is perfectly located in a secluded area where all you can hear is the sound of birds. It was a perfect place to relax after a super active day at Acadia park and Bar Harbor. We were also so excited to have farm fresh eggs complements of Sue ( thank you!). All and all a great stay. Would highly recommend this place

Perfect family gathering site!

This house worked out very well as a headquarters for five family members attending a wedding nearby. We invited other family members to a picnic in the backyard which was ideal. House was extremely well-equipped and clean and we appreciated the eggs! We would happily return!
