Great host communication and a short drive to Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor. Multiple bedrooms and baths made it very convenient for our family. Good choice if not staying downtown Bar Harbor.
Great house to stay with people of all ages and plenty of space. Was in a great location to experience all that Mount Desert Island has to offer. House itself was very clean and private. We wished there was more comfortable indoor seating, as the only seating on the main floor was at the high top dinner table. But overall, would stay again.
We had a great stay, the kids loved the bunk beds and we all enjoyed the hot tub after long hiking days.
The house was in a perfect location for good food and visiting the park.
This property is very conveniently located. We could get to all points of interest within a short drive. The house itself was nice and very efficient. We couldn't have asked for anything better!
Our stay in Bar Harbor was great, the house was super clean, equipped with everything we needed for LDW with 8 adults hiking Acadia park. Towels, dishwasher and laundry pods, body soap, kitchenware and the list goes on and on!
Excellent experience renting this property for our vacation. The location, access to attractions, cleanliness were all top notch. Would highly recommend.
House is perfectly located for exploring Acadia NP and Bar Harbor. Private setting with a great backyard to enjoy. House was clean and communication with the host was prompt. Highly recommended, would definitely stay again.
It was a wonderful house, with ample play space for the kids.The locale was quiet and off the beaten path, but still close to everything we wanted to do.
The house was very clean and conveniently located to everything we were interested in. The outside deck and fire pit were well used by our family. Crystal was very responsive to questions and concerns. We could have used a bit more indoor seating but we managed. We would visit this property again.
We had a great stay at Crystal's place and will stay there if we have the good fortune to visit the Bar Harbor area again. Crystal is very responsive, and the home is clean and family friendly. The amenities at the home were very much appreciated, including a complete kitchen, pack and play, booster seat, baby gate, kids' games and books in the bunk rooms and of course, the backyard! Of note is that the location is convenient to both the east and west sides of desert island, plus Ellsworth in addition to a quick drive to Acadia. Thank you, Crystal!
Well stocked kitchen as far as tools, pots/pane and dishes. Great location on the island for all the recreation and shopping needs. Beautiful street and property. Clean and spacious perfect for two families with young adult and teen kids. Plenty of sleeping arrangements. The fire pit, grill and basement den were an added bonus that we thoroughly enjoyed. Would stay there again. Excellent communication with hosts. Thankful for a blessed vacation.
Pros: - the location was good. we rented a couple of houses on Indian point road and it was centrally located to the activities we did in Acadia and bar harbor. - there were enough beds for cousins when they wanted to do sleep overs. - the play set in the back yard was great for the young kids. Cons:- the house had window air conditioners which couldn't always keep up with the size of the house and cooking. Additionally in order to get the air into the room, the curtains couldn’t be pulled shut allowing light in the windows making it hard to sleep or let our children nap during the day. - there was no living room on the main floor. The only couch was downstairs in the basement which made family gatherings with our elderly parents grandparents hard. - the kitchen had older dishes and utensils. - there was sediment in the water and could only drink the water from the fridge. - there wasn’t enough water in the well to support showers, laundry and dishwasher. The water would run out and we’d have to wait for it to fill back up. - there was no lockbox on the side door as there should have been per the check in instructions. - the hot tub chemicals were too strong and bleached all of our bathing suits. - the mattresses and pillows were not of quality. It wasn’t a terrible stay but it wasn’t a 10/10.

I was disappointed to see this review, but appreciate the feedback and would like to add clarity for future renters:
**AC units are in each bedroom and are listed as such on the rental information
**There is no living room on the main floor and the house is listed as such on the rental information. We have a very large sectional (as mentioned) in the basement and a large dining table set on the first floor, which is great for playing games, doing puzzles or spending time with family during meals
**All kitchen items are new (under two years old) minus the dishes, which are all in good condition.
**Due to extreme heat and dry conditions our well must have been running low during this visit.
**There is a lockbox by the side door. It is attached to the back of the steps (to the left of the steps if you are walking up them) These should not be needed as the front door has a key code for entry.
**The chemicals (bromine)in the hot tub are in a floating container that can be removed if needed.
** The mattresses in the house are Serta & Purple. They are checked annually and changed out as needed. The pillows are new each year and range from standard size to king size.
As listed in the welcome note, we encourage renters to message us immediately if you have any concerns about the property. We are always willing to send over a maintenance person or come over ourselves if their are concerns to try to address the concerns right away.
It was great overall. The house was very nice and in a good location to access every part of the island... minutes from bar harbor, from acadia, and not terribly far from the great restaurants at southeast harbor. Unless i missed something though, the ocean is more than a short walk away. Not the fault of the owners, but ocean access is not great on the island at all.
Every year we travel with my family. It is hard to find a place that works for every age from grandparents to small children. This did that and made our trip so special. You can tell they really take care of this house and stay here also.My only complaint is that there wasn’t a couch or comfortable chairs to sit in on the main floor. Honestly, it just made us spend more time outside because it was such an amazing yard with a swing set, fire pit, table and chairs, and hot tub. If we ever come back to Maine this is the place we will stay! It was awesome!
We had such a nice time. Very comfortable and peaceful. Lots of room, Nice quiet yard. Younger kids loved the playground. Older family enjoyed the hot tub, back porch and we all enjoyed smores around the fire pit. Plenty of tv's for the evening. We were a short distance from hikes, beaches, lakes, restaurants. If you keep a sharp eye, you might see deer and other wildlife.
This property and home was very nice. The host had it ready for us on very short notice. It was spacious. The only thing missing was a sofa and.or soft chairs to sit in. There was very nice outdoor furniture and also there were dining room chairs but there was not a living or family room set up anywhere in the home for our family to hang out. The location on Mt. Desert Island was terrific and we had easy access to hiking and great food.
This house is a private retreat but so conveniently located! It is easy to get everywhere on the island but also only 15 minutes to Ellsworth for a large grocery store or a movie theater on a rainy day. It is a quick walk to a rocky beach just down the street and less than 2 miles from the best lobster on the island. The Travelling Lobster is not to be missed! The house itself was very comfortable. It has great outdoor space with a big private backyard. We truly enjoyed drink hours and dinners on the large deck watching the sun set through the tall pine trees. Beautiful.
