Comfortable stay for our large group

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.

Ideal location

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.

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.

All around great location

Large famalies/groups. Outdoor relaxing with firepit and plenty of firewood, to good times on the deck, hot tub clean and enjoyable, to the spacious rooms for conversations and added fun. The home fit 8 adults very well. Appreciated the little extras of trash bags, detergent, dishsoap,HUGE plus. We will enjoy the beauty of Bar Harbor, Mt Dessert, Acadia all created wonderful family memories. Kristine C

Great House!

The kitchen was well equipped, although it doesn’t have a dishwasher…just FYI. Some other reviews mentioned being on the main road with traffic. We didn’t mind that at all. The house was so centrally located that we were able to get to all of the island within 10-20 minutes. It was a great location!! And the back of the house is very peaceful and secluded…no other houses around. We made a fire in the fire pit most nights and enjoyed kayaking around the river! The hottub was great after all the hiking we did. Our family of 8 were very comfortable there! Thanks!

Lots of room, nice property

The propery is beautiful with lots of things teenagers like! Although, it had scattered wood & random things laying around the edges of the property outside. The house is spacious & supplied with most items needed (not facial tissue/Kleenex). Traffic makes drive to Bar Harbor or Acadia entrance over 20 minutes. The house was furnished very basically with old/used furniture, mattresses & appliances...just enough to check the box that it was there. Pull out couch mattress felt like laying on rocks & bunk bed was a 165 lb. weight limit per level. No dishwasher made it difficult. Although we enjoyed this property, we don't feel this listing justified its very high price & would not rent it again.

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.

Home needs some work

The home is in need of some TLC. No dishwasher, issue when there is a larger group staying. Outside lighting needs to be repaired, Hot-Tub isn't maintained. Rooms need to be re-painted and a deep cleaning is needed....

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!
