Wonderful home away from home

Great stay

This was our second time staying in Janice's house. It is spacious, clean and comfortable, and Janice is a great host. The location is perfect for getting to the Hulls Cove Visitor Center for hiking and Bar Harbor for shopping and dining. I hope we'll be able to return for a third visit!

Quiet, comfortable getaway

Good central location to explore both sides of Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. House had plenty of room and all supplies we needed. A nice quiet place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor.

What a Gem

We loved our stay in in Janice's lovely cottage. It is even nicer than described. It also has a small private deck , of which don't believe is in the description. The cottage is very roomy and immediately feels like home .It's very convenient to Bar Harbor and most Acadia entrances. There is a great brewery that has tasty BBQ about one mile away. Also a cute market and a good pizza shop close by.I can't wait to come back!!

Comfortable, spacious, homelike

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this comfortable and spacious property. A lot of thought has gone into providing all of the things you need to make your stay convenient. I was especially happy with the variety and quality of the kitchen equipment. It made cooking easy. Note that our stay was 5 weeks, and we could have been happy to stay longer. The location is convenient, and there is a great pizza place very close by.

Great house in ideal location

We just spent a wonderful week at this property. As other reviewers have noted, the house is very spacious, clean and comfortable. Even more important, its location is ideal--about 10-12 minutes from the Hulls Cove Visitors Center if you want to get info or hop on a bus to a hiking trailhead; about 15 minutes to Bar Harbor, less to S.W. Harbor or N.E. Harbor. Janice, the owner, is extremely responsive. We already booked for next year, so that says it all!

When you walk in the front door, this property feels like home. This home is perfect for 2 couples or a small family traveling together and is located in an ideal location from Bar Harbor. The recent addition of AC to the home made it all the more comfortable. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Janis! :)

Acadia Gemstone

Property was in a perfect location for easy access to all the Mount Desert Island attractions, especially Acadia National Park entrance. The house was very comfortable, kitchen very well equipped and in a pretty country location. It was so quiet at night I got the best sleep I’ve had in weeks. Beds very comfortable and bathrooms very spacious. Owners responded immediately when we had a minor issue. I’ll stay there again if we ever go back to Acadia.

Perfect location!

We loved the location! We like to get up early for sunrise and hikes, go back to the property for some rest and lunch, then back out again. We were so close to everything in Acadia, it was easy to relax here between events. We cooked some meals ourselves, but we were also close to takeout places. It was so spacious for just the two of us, but it was much more affordable than smaller places further away. A great stay!

Perfect getaway close to everything

As lovers of both Bar Harbor and the quiet side, we found this property to be perfectly situated mid island. It was quiet, cozy, and comfortable. Plenty of comfy seating, whether unwinding after a hike or reclining to read a book on a rainy day. Ample room, strong Wi-Fi, nice backyard space with grill. This really was a home away from home.

Great Location for Acadia

Very comfortable and convenient location for our interests in Ellsworth and Hancock County. We did Bar Harbor too, Seal Harbor North East Harbor, Bass Harbor, Bernard, South West Harbor, and Seal Cove Brass Era Auto Museum. Lots of places to see. Kitchen well stocked with pots pans, dishes and utensils for cooking in. We also ate out, but breakfast in. We believe place could be a bit cleaner but by end of season needing a complete deep cleaning, and as I understand many places were short on workers and cleaners this year.
