Our host was wonderfully communicative in advance of, and during our stay.The house is centrally located for easy travel around Mt Desert Island while still feeling private and secluded.We saw deer and wild turkeys in the woods around the house, and the home was very well appointed with everything we needed to make it feel like home away from home.

Everything for a family juggling two littles could need! Our 4 yr old loved all the games, puzzles, and books. The parents appreciated the easy single floor layout of the main living spaces, laundry, high chair, quiet and private neighborhood, and a kitchen with everything needed to cook a meal easily. Location is great for accessing the NP park from different entrances and great food options around with a playground right up the street. 10/10, no notes.

House had everything we needed. Plenty of kitchen essentials, towels and hangers in the closets. Perfect location to explore Acadia and the quiet side of the island. The lakes were great for kayaking. Every place we chose for dinner were delicious. Host was always responsive to text messages. Great place to visit. Don’t miss out booking Eden House.

Eden House

We had a wonderful stay at Eden House. Kathy was very responsive before and during the stay. Super helpful. Not that much help is needed because the house is well equipped, including lots of extra touches provided to make everything easy. We are a family of 4 and were comfortable in the house and on the large, very private and quiet property. Easy access to explore Acadia and Bar Harbor. Just an overall great accommodation. Thank you Kathy and Bruce!

Acadia home base

We had a wonderful time staying here as our home base while exploring Acadia with our kids. We appreciated the quieter pace away from Bar Harbor while still being able to easily get to all hikes and restaurants in town. Great recommendations from the hosts, property exactly as described, well stocked kitchen, easy communication — would recommend across the board!

Wonderful stay in a charming home!

We loved our stay! Kathy was so responsive and the house had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, check in was a breeze, and everything was clean. It was also in a great location that made it easy to get to any place we needed, the shuttle stop is close by, and it’s away from the crazy busy Bar Harbor area. We would definitely stay again!
