The house was in a great area, close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor but not in the hustle and bustle of down town. House was pet friendly and we had a nice size yard for the dog to play in. The house was clean and comfortable. It would have been nice however if the host provided things like salt & pepper, coffee, etc. little things that were needed / wanted but annoying to bring with us from several states away.

Acadia Vacation

This house was a great place to stay while we explored Acadia National Park. My wife and I stayed with our German Shepherd dog. It was a quiet and comfortable place to retreat to in the evenings after a busy day exploring the area. The house is well stocked with all the amenities to make you feel right at home. We would definitely stay here again if we vacation in the area again.
