We had another great stay at this property in Hancock, Maine. House was very clean, had everything we needed. Not to far from Acadia National Park for hiking, kayaking and site seeing. Also so close to more hiking in Schoodic
Clean and well furnished home, Great location to cover Acadia National Park and Schoodic Peninsula, we enjoyed our stay, hope to comeback here in near future.
Wonderful home. Clean and spacious. The location was lovely. It was close enough to bar harbor, Acadia and other attractions but distant enough for privacy and quiet.
Highly recommend this property! Our stay was fantastic. The location really is perfect if you want to visit both MDI/Bar Harbor and Schoodic Peninsula, and we also really enjoyed Tidal Falls Preserve, which is only a couple miles away. The house is absolutely spotless, the furniture is comfortable, and the appliances are all in good order. Check-in was simple and we appreciated the sweet greeting from our host (thank you, Tiffany & Richard). We would love to return someday!
This place is exactly as described. Very comfortable with all of your basic needs included. I would highly recommend it, we would stay here again. Great hosts!
This was our first time visiting Maine and this was the perfect place to stay! The house was very clean, provided a ton of accommodations (dish soap, laundry detergent, dishwasher pods, etc), and had all the extra "little things" to make the trip stress-free (kids dishes, outside/inside games, beach chairs, sand toys, Netflix, etc.).
The location was the perfect spot to be away from the big crowds, yet close to restraunts and stores.
We loved our stay! The house was very clean and perfect for our family. Thanks for taking young kids into consideration! The kids loved the firepit out back. The house was well situated between the main part of Acadia National Park and the Schoodic peninsula. We enjoyed exploring the nearby tidal falls..Thanks for a great week!
This property was clean and had everything needed for our stay. It was centrally located between the Main Acadia Park and the Schootic Pennisula. Tiffany was availabe if we needed anything. She answered all our emails. We enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time on our first visit to the beautiful state of Maine! The weather was nice and we were able to get in a lot of hikes in Acadia National Park. This VRBO was a perfect location for us... away from the busy Bar Harbor area, but still close enough to explore Acadia and the downeast area. The place was clean, comfy, and had everything we wanted for our week-long stay. What an excellent trip!
This was my third stay at this lovely home-away-from-home. Already planning my fall return. Inside and out, makes my DownEast visits cushy-comfy, spaciously cozy, relaxing and easy. Just THE BEST!
The house was meticulous, comfortable and convenient. We wanted to go to Schoodic Peninsula, Acadia and Bar Harbor. All were easily accessible but we avoided crowds and noise back at the house as we wanted down time with nature and the chance to relax after multiple long hikes. Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations.
As a military family we have stayed in a lot of rentals while traveling, and this by far has been our favorite. It is super clean, everything looks brand new, the rental has everything you would need, even a drying rack for clothes! They literally thought of everything! The backyard is beautiful. The hosts were wonderful and had great communication. Would love to stay here again!
Very clean and comfortable property, everything is like brand new and owners have thought of everything to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Tiffany was great and left excellent suggestions of things to do in the area as well as a treat for our dog. There was outlet covers and the rental was ready for any aged guests. If we come back to Maine again we would absolutely stay here again.
Tiffany’s place is by far the best VRBO we have stayed in. Beyond your normal expectations, she has fully equipped the house with all the little things you could want or need. She is super responsive and ready to accommodate if you have questions. We are already planning a second trip up to Maine and bringing other family to stay in her second property down the way. I highly recommend staying at this location.
The home was immaculate A but far from Acadia our reason for coming to the area but still a clean comfortable home The main road is close by but with the ac on and windows closed you could barely here the traffic We had a bit of an issue with the cable tv and our call to our host Tiffany was answered right way The tv issue was resolved quickly and we didn’t need to bother Tiffany for the remainder of our stay Had a great time even though it was the hottest week so far this season I would definitely recommend this home for a stay in Acadia
We had the perfect stay. Great location, pristine interior, all the amenities we needed including beach towels, beach toys, beach chairs, yard games and food/water bowls for our pup. My husband and I don’t typically sleep well on vacation due to poor mattress quality. This was not the case here, we slept like baby’s and so did our 3 and 6yr old!! We grilled out and enjoyed the beautiful yard and also had a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Highly recommend, we would absolutely return.
We just returned from a 5 night stay and we could not be happier! We arrived about an hour early and the home was ready for our stay. Everything was wonderful, from the location to the rooms to the peace and quiet we were looking for. Tiffany was most helpful in helping me pull together a few activities to keep us busy during the day, and helped us navigate the wonderful places to eat. All In all it was simply perfect. Our daughter was delighted to have her "own room" and slept like a champ every night. Having stayed in a few different locations in and around Bar Harbor, this was far and away the best experience we have had. Thank you for the hospitality and we wish you continued success with your property!
Organized, Clean, Relaxed, Convenient, Allergy Free...
This was our first time using VRBO and it did not disappoint. Tiffany and Richard are excellent hosts. They have thought of every comfort for a relaxed stay in their home - whether you are a family with young children or teen or anyone with allergies (like me) there are no worries. For us, it was truly comfortable, clean and I did not need asthma meds to sleep. The home was easy to keep clean with products and implements provided. I wish all of our away from home stays were like this one. Thank you Richard & Tiffany, we will be back again!
