For a cozy, quiet place in a beautiful setting, this is a great get-away. Clean and comfortable. Kitchen has every supply needed. We could rest up easily here and had a wonderful series of hiking days in Acadia, and nearby found excellent local fare at Beal’s Lobster Pier and Charlotte’s Legendary Lobster Pound. Thank you to our excellent host!

This was a great experience and we loved our stay at the treehouse. Anne the host was always good to communicate with and she helped us quickly on a few things we needed. The advice she gave on places to go and where to eat were also great. Appreciate her a lot. Would recommend her places every time. Thank you Anne

Beautiful, quiet location. Roomier than photos appeared. It is a climb up, as was clear in description. Nicely furnished. Very good internet connection, although Roku TV tended to drop off. Lots of birds and deer! Would stay here again.

Cute place. Very quiet. Can be easy to bonk your head on the slanted ceilings and the water tasted metallic but it’s easy to buy bottled water and watch your head. Great lobster roll right down the street. Convenient beach. Nice town. Close to Acadia

Quaint stay on the quiet side of the island

The space is perfect for two people, but the kitchen and bathroom may be too small for some people. I loved the unique setting and the fact that it was not in a touristy area but that you can get to Acadia National Park in less than 30 minutes. A nice change of pace from the craziness that is Bar Harbor. We did lose hot water on our third night, but a quick text to Anne and it was fixed by the time we needed it in the morning.A lovely place to stay if you want a quiet, enjoyable stay in the heart of MDI.

Anniversary trip

My partner and I have been planning this trip for months! We got engaged during our stay. ☺️Such a cute place and very close to Acadia National Park and all the cute shops/restaurants in Bar Harbor. The lobster pound is walking distance and is amazing. Everyone was so friendly. Take advantage of the private beach!

Treehouse Stay

Daunted at first by the metal spiral staircase to get to our Treehouse nest, the outdoor stairwell became like a portal- a welcome home rite of passage after a day exploring the wonders of the island; a departing spiral handshake saying I’ll be here to welcome you when you return. The Treehouse had everything we needed and more.

couldn’t be happier with the treehouse and the property as a whole. we were delighted to see a doe and her fawn right outside our car the first time we left to go into town. southwest harbor was a great experience, we went to salt shop for dessert every day! very happy with our choice to stay on the “quiet side” of the island and only trek into bar harbor to get to the park for the classic hikes like the beehive. the mountains on the west side offered beautiful views and made for peaceful hikes. the treehouse was an excellent homebase for a serene get away.

Location, comfort, cleanliness were optimal in the Treehouse!

Walked to the rocky beach (@ 100 yards). Super comfortable bed. Lobster pound serving seafood and ice cream and pie is 300 yards away. We had to break for deer crossing the driveway. 🙂

Perfect getaway for two!

We had a great weekend at Anne's place! She was prompt at getting back to us with any questions or concerns we had, and she sent an incredible list of recommendations all over the island for our visit! The VRBO had plenty of room for two people. The bathroom and shower were small but Anne provided all the amenities we needed for the long weekend. Everywhere we went from the VRBO was about a 20 minute drive, but it was lovely to be away from the crowds and explore a quieter area of the island.
