This place was wonderful. We were visiting Maine for Acadia National Park. Perfect accommodations and access to everything. Absolutely loved the big bright windows with natural light. There were 5 of us in total and it worked well for a girls trip. 2 moms with young adult daughters and their friend. Loved sitting on the porch drinking coffee.

What a wonderful hidden gem! At first, we weren’t sure about renting a home away from Bar Harbor's hustle and bustle, but now we’re hooked. Surrounded by nature, this property offered a peaceful retreat from our hectic, fast-paced visit to Mount Desert Island, Acadia National Park, and Bar Harbor. It's just a short drive to multiple stores, including Walmart, Shaw’s, and Hannaford. Schoodic Point, which is gorgeous, is even closer.Now, about the house: it was immaculately clean and incredibly well stocked with everything we could possibly need, including a tea kettle, Keurig, high-end appliances, bath gel, shampoo and conditioner, high-quality towels, and a washer and dryer with laundry detergent. The home also has satellite TV, very fast Wi-Fi, and a sweet little office for anyone who needs to work.Upstairs, both bedrooms have air conditioning, comfortable beds, plenty of room to stretch out, and TVs. Downstairs, the home features a spacious modern bathroom, a dining area with a large table and chairs, and a lovely kitchen equipped with everything we could ask for in a rental.Despite our initial hesitation, we’ve found our new home for future visits to the region. It truly felt like a home away from home—and, in many ways, was even more relaxing. Having everything we needed at our fingertips took the stress off our shoulders. To top it all off, Jenn and Soren were excellent communicators throughout our stay, We couldn't recommend this rental more highly.
