Great location
The house was fine. The price was good compared to others but dont expect luxury. There were no dishtowels so we had to buy some. There wasnt enough toilet paper to last the week. There was no shampoo. The pots and pans were old and not good quality but other than that the location was excellent. Lots of things to do nearby. Mosquitos were bad at the water so we stayed up near the house.

Secluded house with a beautiful view!
House is spacious with large yard which was perfect for our family getaway. The main house and the in law suite gave everyone their own space and their own bathrooms. It is close to the main entrance to Acadia and many places to eat including Trenton Bridge and Bar Harbor Lobster Pound. We rented paddleboards and were able to launch them right from the yard at high tide. Also loved watching the Osprey nest on the little island across from the house.

Perfect for large families!!!
We loved staying here! The setting feels secluded and has a lovely view of the water yet the location is perfect. It's equidistant to Bar Harbor, Echo Lake, and Ellsworth. We liked that location instead of the crowds and traffic in Bar Harbor. The house is really big with lots of communal spaces and big kitchen. It was nice having the garage since it was raining on the day we arrived -- made unloading the cars very easy. The hosts were great and very quick to respond to our questions. Will definitely look to stay here again next time we get the family together.

Had a great vacation
I was pleased overall with our stay, I would like to make a suggestion. I think cleaning could be better we found a lot of dust in areas and some things a little dirty. I totally understand the turn over time is crazy, but I feel a little more attention to detail was needed when cleaning. Also maybe some updating would be nice. More towel racks in bathrooms, new couch (present one was very stained),maybe a little something every year . All in all your location is spot on and we had a great family stay, would totally book again. Thank you

Great location
Close to Bar Harbor & Acadia NP entrance & to grocery shopping back across bridge. Enjoyed fire pit. Older house that has some minor maintenance issues but we did not go to Acadia area to sit in the house. Had 6 in our party & ample room for more.
