Excellent kitchen facilities, and excellent group spaces… Really enjoyable to all be able to sit together in the living room and I’ll eat together at the dining table. We also loved being able to hike directly into the park from the back of the property.

Perfect for families

We visited with three families each with a child under five. The house was extremely well equipped with high chairs, pack and plays, children's games and best of all, a basement where the kids could go be kids and adults could get a little quiet. The house is in a great location to the park, easy to get carriage trails, hikes and a short walk to seal harbor. Would definitely stay again.

If you are looking for a great location to Jordon pond and Arcadia with a large group this home is perfect! Hiking can start right out the back door as it did for our son who hiked Penobscot with pemetic. Our 6 year old Grandson really enjoyed our after dinner visits to Seal Harbor beach, great tide pools. We walked there and someone would drive the van and park to take us back. We all all enjoyed our dinner at the light house inn and restraunt very walkable. We never needed to use the basement or TVs we had an almost perfect 10 weather week for outdoor hiking and exploring. Jen was very reachable with any questions we had.

Perfect location - wish we'd booked for longer than 4 nights

The property was beautiful, brand new. It's very close to Bar Harbor, super convenient. Had fun playing ping pong and corn hole in the basement. Property has 3 bathrooms, but only the master has a connected bath. The downstairs bath was next to the room with the murphy bed, which wasn't ideal. FYI, for those of you flying in, there is NO shampoo, laundry detergent, or Keurig cups, so you must stop at the grocery. We loved our stay, and if we'd stayed longer, we would have walked more on the carriage road (or rented bikes). The carriage roads were very peaceful. The front porch has 3 rocking chairs (a great place for a cup of coffee in the morning. We would stay here again absolutely!

We just got back from our annual family vacation. The house was wonderful for 11 of us. Everything is well stocked - towels, bedding and kitchen supplies. We were happy to find an assortment of spices, oil etc which is not always the case at other rentals. The beds were comfortable. Kids loved the basement for playing and the great assortment of games. I’m a clean freak and the house was spotless upon arrival. Jen and Brian were super responsive when I txted we had no power. ( It was a neighborhood outage.). They followed up with info and checked in to be sure we had power back on. All the pics online are accurate and recent. The home is new. The access to the carriage trails makes this so worthwhile. The day we drove into Acadia to do the Jordan Trail we couldn’t find parking and ended up walking as far as if we had gone (walked) from the house. The area is stupendous. Read the guide they send to you. Chock full of good info. We learned the hard way not using the Acadia map they recommended and got lost. Acadia Park maps are poor. We all loved this trip and house! Thanks Jen and Brian!

Why they chose this property

Our family has been vacationing on Mount Desert Island for over 30 years. Seal Harbor is the BEST spot on the whole island, so we were thrilled when we had the opportunity to build our dream vacation home here. We are in a very quiet section of the island with quick access to trails, easy access to the best beach on the island, all while being just a short drive to Bar Harbor!

What makes this property unique

You can walk right out the back door and into the park!
