Perfect off-season stay

Exactly as as advertised, this home was a clean and comfortable space for a few days of relaxation. The location was on a quiet road and convenient to Acadia trails, bar harbor, and the quiet side. Couldn’t have been happier!

Great trip!

We had a nice time in Acadia, and house was close to Southwest Harbor and the carriage trails at the park. We enjoyed watching the deer eat under the apple trees each morning.

Perfect stay!

This was a great house for a larger family — plenty of space and the outdoor area was so enchanting. It was easy to get to several restaurants and locations, but also felt secluded and quiet. Best of both worlds!

Timber Sky

Although we had an issue upon checking in, the property manager was quick to fix the problem. Communication with her was excellent, and she and the staff were more than helpful. We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home with lots of extras. We especially enjoyed coffee on the back porch in the beautiful surroundings. It felt secluded, but was a short drive to anywhere on the island. Perfect place to stay while on Desert Island.

Fantastic

We enjoyed the house (especially the kitchen and the old fashion bath tub in the master bath). The house was nicely furnished and it was a beautiful place to relax with the family and play board games. We enjoyed the private setting and the central location close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National park.

Short Early May Stay in Bar Harbor

The home was very nice. Just as the photos show. It was approximately 15-20 minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The house is in a quiet wooded neighborhood and we saw deer the first morning. The kitchen had all the necessary small appliances and many extras .ie countertop ice maker. The beds were very comfortable. We had a really good stay and I would certainly stay again!

Beautiful home & setting

We (6 adults) were very comfortable at Timber Ridge. Well stocked home with plenty of space to spread out. Enjoyed watching the deer from kitchen every morning. Close enough to Acadia but quiet too. Only drawback was that our trip wasn’t longer.

What a lovely home in Acadia! Very short drive into Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The house was beautiful and very quiet. Just what my family looked forward at the end of the day in the park. Can’t wait to return!

Best Vrbo experience yet!!

This house is absolutely beautiful and so comfortable. The kitchen was adequately stocked. The house feels new, but full of charming New England character. We had a family birthday celebration BBQ and clipped flowers from the yard for a bouquet centerpiece. The location is central to everything in Acadia and Bar Harbor while still secluded in a very nice neighborhood. Timber Sky was instrumental in a memory-filled week visiting our son in Acadia National Park. Thank you so much!!!

Beautiful house- serene views

Overall very pleased. Beautify backyard and house was spacious. however, the water pressure was awful. Only one faucet could be on-if someone was taking a shower there was absolutely no water from the sinks.

Peaceful off-season get-away to Acadia

The property was exactly as described and the property manager was very responsive. So appreciated access to this lovely home and our pup loved bounding in the wooded, mossy back yard. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
