Beautifully decorated, clean and full of all things for a comfortable stay. We mainly were there to hike as many trails as possible Acadia National Park. We found Bar Harbor too crowded so checked out Ellsworth. We enjoyed the food and beer at Fogtown brewery and Airline Brewing

Very secluded. Nice area. Unit was as listed. If arriving after dark as we did, the road (more of a driveway) isn’t easily seen. Very convenient to many restaurants and shopping. Arcadia park is easily accessible from the unit. Would stay again.

Perfect place in Acadia area!

My husband and I enjoyed this lovely property so much! It was beautifully decorated, so neat and clean and had everything we needed for our 3 days visiting the area. Convenient to get to Acadia from here, and we loved the privacy and quiet location away from all the other tourists. The hospitality and communication from the host was excellent!
