Great location and wonderful views we sat around the fire pit at night listening to the loons on the bay.

Lovely property!
The house was perfect for 3 couples, roomy, fully stocked kitchen, beds were comfortable, sunsets were amazing and the rocky beach was lovely as well! Would definitely stay here again!
We loved this house and everything about it. Thank you for a lovely and beautiful stay. The house is very spacious. The view is magnificent from the backyard. The location is central to Bar Harbor, Acadia, and Ellsworth. I would recommend highly.

Beautiful spot on the water
The property was better than the photos shown. We loved the location. It was so peaceful, yet conveniently close to Acadia and stores/restaurants. Would definitely recommend this place.
Cute house that was great for family. The back yard has a gorgeous view and you can walk right down on the beach. Checking in and out is a breeze. Overall the house is starting to show a little wear (squeaky floors and loose tiles) but it is adorable, comfortable, and affordable. Location is ideal if you are aiming to spend time in Bar Habor or Acadia.
Pictures do not do this property justice. Absolutely stunning landscape and scenery. Own little slice of Maine heaven. We can't wait to come back. Perfect location for trips to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Check-in was a breeze. Beds were comfortable. Living room was spacious. We enjoyed the firepit at sunset with smores and it was just perfect. We didn't want to leave.

Waterfront Oasis home on the Bay
The home had an amazing view of the Bay and beautiful sunset views. The location to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park was great as well. I hope that the owners of the home will review my recommendations and make some needed repairs to the home.

We enjoy the outdoors so the gazebo and the fire pit was a great place for us to just unwind. Spent a few years saving up for this trip so this peaceful stop was needed.
Loved this place. We're thinking about coming back. Had some minor house issues with toilet and ants but it was quickly resolved. Local property manager was great. Quick to respond. Thank you for this lovely home with a great view.
We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the waterfront location. The size of the home was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 4 kids. This was a comfortable place to relax at

Amazing views
Stay here for the sunsets and the backyard! The location is fantastic for exploring Acadia NP and the area. It is a rural location so expect all the nature that comes with it: beautiful, unobstructed sunsets on the water, loud frogs at night, and lots of bugs. We enjoyed eating dinner in the sun porch and having nightly fires in the fire pit. The bathrooms were super clean with plenty of towels. The kitchen is fully stocked to cook in. It was really nice having our own waterfront area to explore too!
This was a great property to stay - bedrooms were great for 5 adults - kitchen was well stocked and home was very clean. Would highly recommend this home to anyone.
