We absolutely loved staying here. It was convenient to Acadia National Park. We loved the lightening bugs that lit up the back yard every evening something we don’t see in Florida.

Perfect Acadia Get a-Away With Our Pups

Everything about our stay was perfect. I was traveling with my elderly father and our two dogs. I would be exploring Acadia with my dog and he would spend some time at the house and sometime out with me. Tiffany’s attention to detail, and including everything you will need for your stay is superb, and the cleanliness of her property is absolutely amazing. It was a great space to make a homebase as we explored the area and Acadia. Would definitely recommend this property!

Great Vacation Location

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!

The Perfect Spot

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.

Maine Vacation

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!

Great Location in Downeast Maine

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!

Maine Stay

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.

Beautiful rental! Super clean!

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!

Amazing Rental!

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.

Amazing Last Minute Adventure

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 Perfect Stay

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.
