This is a great house for a large family. The back yard and deck are wonderful! Access to the quiet side of MDI is so easy and nice, and access to the busier side is 10-15 minutes away when that's what you're looking for. Host is very responsive and helpful!
We enjoyed our stay at this house. Very comfortable for a large family.

Great location- centrally located on Mount Desert Island. Enough room for 10. Great fire pit, kayaks and forest behind house. The hot tub was not working.

Hi, Molly. Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the location, spaciousness, fire pit, kayaks, and the beautiful forest surroundings. It sounds like you had a wonderful time connecting with nature. I do want to clarify that the hot tub is not listed as an amenity for this home, so I apologize if there was any confusion. If you have any other questions or need assistance for future stays, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back soon!
This location was a perfect location. Only 10 minutes to Visitor center or Cadillac Mountain or a short drive into Bar Harbor. The property had plenty of entertainment options for our group. We loved the great room and the openness of the downstairs made meal time a great family event.
Overall really pleasant stay. We loved the fireplace tucked into the woods and the ping pong table. The house and rooms are really large, but they could benefit from adding multiple beds in some of the rooms so people don’t have to sleep on couches, and minor easy updates to decor throughout the house would make this property stand out. Really good proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia.

Family time in a great spot
We loved the spacious home since there were nine of us. Well stocked kitchen except for lack of dishwasher. We used all the amenities-- kayaks, hot tub, ping pong, fire pit, grill and had a a great time together. Lovely property by the river.

Acadia gem
This house is great for families including multigenerational families. We loved the tire swing, fire pit and hot tub. Having the high chair and pack and play was a nice surprise. Maybe you could add it to the home’s amenities so future families don’t have to rent them like we did. Great location to access the park and for excellent restaurants in bar harbor.

Nice proximity to attractions.
The house was relatively clean and the two service issues were addressed quickly. The house is right on the Main Street, so was very noisy with lots of traffic going by. We couldn’t use fire pit or hot tub because there were too many mosquitos.
House location is perfect for Bar Harbor and Acadia. Water way behind house was really nice for kayaks, which are provided with the rental house. Fire pit was a great addition to the house for family nights. Overall, house was great. Could use some updating of couches in first floor living room for more comfortably. No a/c on first floor. If listed in rental I missed it. Temps were higher than expected the week we stayed so it was hot. Upstairs bedrooms and family room were much nicer and comfortable to relax in.

Great for multi-family trips
We stayed with 2 families and 4 kids under 5yrs old. We all had enough space, enough bathrooms and loved the perks like the bunk beds, tire swing, hot tub and fire pit near the water. If I had to change only one thing, I would’ve loved to have had air conditioning in the bedrooms or in the common area near the kitchen. It was only 15 mins from lots of Acadia attractions and from downtown Bar Harbor. We would definitely come back!
