Very peaceful stay in lovely woods

Extremely secluded and well-designed/curated apartment near Somesville— with easy access to all of Acadia- great swimming options and hikes nearby. We loved everything about this special place.

My 84 year old father and I had a delightful stay in this beautifully modern and extremely clean apartment. Great proximity to other family staying in Somesville, at Mt Desert Campground - and in Manset. The ride into Bar Harbor etc is not far at all. Kira was so accomodating but at the same time respected our privacy. The grounds are gorgeous and the approach to the house is wonderfully 'Maine'.Definitely looking to rebook for next year!

The Perfect Maine Stay

This was the perfect place to stay! Great location for everything to see on Mount Desert Island, and close to Acadia National Park! Nestled in the quiet woods, the owner takes great care of the home. It was a very clean and well-kept space, larger than we anticipated! Would absolutely stay here for our next visit to Maine!!

We had a wonderful stay in this quiet, peaceful cabin, perfectly nestled in a beautiful wooded area. The décor is nicely done, reflecting Maine’s beaches, mountains, lakes, and forests — it gives the home a true sense of place.The cabin was super clean and well-kept, with handy amenities like a washer and dryer. The grill, though small, worked well, and the cooktop was fairly efficient once it warmed up. A couple of small touches would make it even better — drink coasters and a few more cup towels.The location is excellent — close to Acadia National Park and not far from Bar Harbor. That said, we found ourselves especially enjoying Southwest Harbor with its great restaurants and Northeast Harbor with its charming, unpretentious village feel.Overall, a peaceful and comfortable retreat in a beautiful setting. We’d be happy to return!

Quiet Charming Stay for Honeymoon

My wife and I stayed at this location for our honeymoon and we enjoyed it greatly. The property is the downstairs portion of the renters home and they were very helpful throughout the stay. Due to a storm we briefly lost power but the owners were very helpful and considerate during that brief time.

I would recommend this property at anyone! Very quite but very close to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Southwest Harbor, Northwest Harbor and Ellsworth attractions and shopping. Beds were very nice. Had the best sleep in months. The fridge, microwave, sink, bathroom were all top of the line! Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did! Thank you, Kara

Visit to Acadia National Park

This rental was a pleasant surprise. It is clean and modern and well stocked with all the amenities you could ever need. The host has done a terrific job. The weather did not cooperate with lots of rain anf fog so it helped to come back each day to this little cottage nestled in the woods.

Super cute apartment

This apartment was just what we needed. The location was perfect. It was really quiet and we were only 15 to 30 minutes away from all of the trails we wanted to hike in Acadia National Park. The apartment was clean and nicely furnished. There were even some pods for the Keurig coffee maker. The owners were very nice and provided some suggestions for restaurants and other activities. We would definitely stay here again!

Quiet property in the woods

The location was perfect for our day trips into Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor and the rest of Mt. Desert Island.The apartment was very clean and comfortable, a nice place to come back to after hiking and exploring all day. The provided cooler was a bonus find. Little things like this are very thoughtful. Kara was easy to communicate with and very prompt to respond to messages. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect for our family

Perfect sport for our family to stay for our first visit to Acadia. We hiked all day and were grateful for a clean, comfortable, quiet place to rest at night. Location was perfect: we were glad to be on Mount Desert Island so we were close to all the hikes and sights, and we purposefully stayed away from Bar Harbor to avoid the crowds (but we were early enough in June that it wasn't too busy.) Kara responded quickly to our grocery store question ~ a quick trip to Bar Harbor for groceries meant we could cook breakfasts and suppers here and pack lunches and trail snacks for our fun filled days. A fabulous vacation!

Maine Fall Getaway

The property is well appointed and decorated very nicely. It was super clean and my wife and I enjoyed the big screen TV at night to watch playoff baseball. Kara always responded quickly with answers to my questions about good places to eat and a good supermarket. She was also very helpful in providing information about Acadia National Park. The location is great and be sure to check out the night sky for stars. AMAZING!! We would recommend this property for anyone looking for a Maine getaway.
