Great house. Loved having all the bedrooms upstairs so people could sleep and not be disturbed by those staying up.

House was clean, comfortable, and spacious. It was conveniently located both to Bar Harbor and to lots of hiking in the park which was why we came. Went hiking everyday. Nice little patio out back overlooking some woods - enjoyed a few beers there! Some cute restaurants not too far away. Enjoyed our stay.

Excellent stay
The house was PERFECT for our family (kids 4-11). It was clean and cozy. We loved all the kids books/games that were there. Our stay was excellent- it made for a great visit to Bar Harbor- would definitely stay here again.

Cozy home, Perfect Location.
Our family of six had an amazing stay. Emily, the host, answered all our questions before we arrived. And the home was well appointed. They thought of everything. And we loved that it’s in a cute little neighborhood. So while it was not in the busy part of town, it also wasn’t isolated. We loved it!

Woodland Oasis
Not directly in Bar Harbor, but close enough to it an Acadia for you to enjoy everything with a quick drive. Bonus that there's a seafood and pie shack within easy walking distance!

Perfect place for a family retreat
We loved staying here! It is a great set-up for a family. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, silverware, etc. Great location. Centrally located so that many places on the island were a short drive. We would stay here again.

Great stay!
We had a wonderful time at the property. It was clean, open, and had everything we could possibly need. We came as a family, with my husband and two children (2.5 yo and 8 mo). The neighborhood was quiet and a great place to which to retreat after being in the bustle of Bar Harbor. Drive to downtown Bar Harbor and the various hikes was ~15-25 minutes. Would definitely stay again!
