We're very happy with our stay and the property. The listing was very accurate. The property and the house were both very clean and communication with the owner was excellent!
My fiance and I enjoyed our time here. Perfect spot for a quiet, roomy, and beautiful place about 35 minutes from Bar Harbor. Couldn’t have asked for a better place.
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.
Tiffany has thought of everything! Fully appointed kitchen, very comfortable beds, large closets and bathroom, cozy living area, and an amazing outdoor space. We loved our stay.
We had a great stay, house was clean and easy to get to. It's about 25 minutes from Mount Desert island and there are plenty of trails and things to do within 5 minutes. Overall great experience and vacation.
Located between the main park and Schoodic peninsula. This house is a great getaway that I would recommend to all. House is well equipped and dog friendly.
The property was clean and well equipped. We had a great stay. The back yard area made a great spot for entertaining family and friends that came to visit while we were in town.
We had such an amazing time, the hosts were great. The property was exceptionally designed to have the perfect home away from home experience. We can’t wait to go back someday!
Well located and close to Bar Harbor. We also went up to Bangor for some fishing. Beautiful home with all the essentials that you need. Well kept and extremely clean. Thank you.
Very nice house enjoyed our stay. Nice to be away from the hustle of closer to the park. Kitchen well stocked for cooking and we used it each day. Setting out back and enjoying the woods setting. Will recommend and if in the area will stay again.
This is our 2nd year renting with the owner, we love the house and location. The house is so clean and stocked with enough towels, kitchen necessities, and other things you might need while staying. They even have a grill, outdoor fire pit, outdoor lounge chairs and a patio table. With 2 cottages on the property they are far enough away from each other for privacy and sit back far enough from the road.
The house was in immaculate shape, one of the cleanest rentals I’ve ever stayed in. We had a great time. The owner was very responsive to any questions.
My wife and I and 2 hounds spent 2 wonderful weeks at this property. It was so clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. New appliances and very well stocked kitchen. Great communication when needed. We would recommend to 2 couples or small families looking for a central location to explore, Acadia, Ellsworth, Schoodic Point, Petit Menan, Machias, Milbridge, and beyond.

The place was the best , everything we needed was there. Great location. Very very clean 5- star. Will definitely come back Tiffany was very helpful and friendly. Thank you
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this Hancock ME property, although it wasn't long enough. It appears to be a relatively new build, furnishings are nice, kitchen also. Very clean. Close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park plus many excellent seafood restaurants.
The house we stayed at was in a wonderful location. Only about 30 minutes from Schoodic Point and 40 from Bar Harbor and the other side of Acadia. It had all amenities and the host definitely had a mind for details. She thought of everything. Great spot out back to sit by the fire and make s’mores. This was the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. If you want a higher end experience for not a lot of money, stay here. We also had the opportunity meet the host/owner and she was very pleasant. Great vacation!!
My family and I had an amazing time at this home! It was clean, well organized, the fire pit was amazing, (they left us wood ) and there was some treats left for us in the kitchen! Tiffany was super quick with communication and very helpful. I highly recommend staying here! The house is a perfect location for a various entry points for the park. I highly recommended you stay !
My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cottage. It was new, clean and Tiffany was very sweet when I spoke with her on the phone. It was our first time in Maine and I couldn't have picked a better place to stay. We enjoyed Acadia National Park with many hiking trips. Its beautiful country. We hope to visit again soon. Thank you Tiffany and Richard for allowing us to stay in your home.
This property was perfect for our family of 4 while we visited Acadia National Park. The location is about 30 minutes from the park and while off a main roadway is very peaceful. Home was clean, well taken care of and had nice amenities including fire pit and grill. The hosts were easy to contact and responded immediately. Pictures of property are accurate and the home met all of our needs. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area or visit Acadia.
