Very neat, well kept property

Plenty of room for our family. The house is very conveniently located near the "top" of Mount Desert Island with easy access to all parts of Acadia. Knox Road has fairly lightly traveled, so no problems with traffic.

We loved the place

Beautiful, comfortable and very clean property. It is located close to Acadia park, Bar Harbor center, and other towns on MDI. We enjoyed our stay in this quiet place. We had easy, no traffic access to the ANP. I highly recommend this property. Gary was very helpful when we needed recommendations of local restaurants and activities. We followed his suggestions and everything was awesome.

Awesome place for Acadia Vacation

This place fitted our budget and was close to almost everything. We hiked, biked, watched July 4th fireworks, went to several beaches nearby and off-course drove around Park Loop road and Cadillac mountain million times. Overall pretty nice experience.

8/10 Good

We really enjoyed our stay at Gary and Betsy’s place!

This was such a nice getaway. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and there was enough room for the 5 of us to find our own space. We started our morning with coffee on the deck and were able to get to Acadia park by way of charming countryside roads. The house is about 20 minutes from downtown bar harbour, and is situated on a quiet road. Gary and Betsy were very responsive to any request we had. Would recommend Eden House!

great location

we stayed here for a week. the location is great for getting to and getting off the island. it is close to a local supermarket and 3 different "Lobster Pounds" where you can get some of the finest local seafood. the Islander shuttle runs right past the end of the driveway every half hour so you don't need to drive if you don't want to. the shuttle beats driving into town and hunting down a parking spot. the main entrance to the park is a short 10 minute drive and 20 minutes to the top of Cadillac Mountain where you get spectacular sunrises, sunsets, views of town and the ocean, and some amazing stargazing. The house itself was immaculate. It came complete with everything, including a large selection of herbs and spices for cooking, movies, DVDs and games for rainy days and a large map of the area to help you get around.
