There were 4 of us staying here for a week, and there was plenty of space. Didn't feel cramped. Originally I had some concern about there being just one air conditioner, but it cooled down the whole place just fine!
The location was excellent, just far enough outside Bar Harbor to be away from the crowds, but close enough to gead into town whenever we wanted without it taking too much time. The house being back on a private drive also cuts down on traffic noise compared to many of the other hotels that are right on the main roads.
The outdoor space was wonderful, we used the grill multiple nights to cookout and eat on the balcony at the picnic table. Also got to see some wildlife around the pond, including eagles! The owners were very friendly as well.
This was a great place to stay for a week, and I 100% would stay here again next time I'm in Maine!
Loved the location, beds were uncomfortable. Living room furniture worn out and not comfortable to watch a movie.rear deck is not up to building code.New shower head needed in shower and also a fan. Need more air conditioning in the other rooms
We had an enjoyable experience in a great location! We stayed for a week and slept comfortably every night. The pond was such a wonderful perk- my kids and husband fished every night after dinner. The house had everything we needed with a few minor things that could be improved upon. We ran out of hot water taking showers (there were 2 adults and 2 kids) after hiking all day so we learned we had to space them out at night and not all shower in a row. The silverware looked very loved so we bought plastic ware we used during our stay. The master bedroom bed was very comfy but would’ve loved for it to be a smidge bigger.
The perks of the home certainly were the great location, beautiful setting with a gorgeous back yard/deck (we played Yahtzee every night out there!), fun pond to fish in, comfortable living room furniture/beds and everything you need for cooking in the kitchen! We loved having a washer and dryer bc we packed light and hiked often!
We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back here on our next trip to Acadia!! Thank you for opening your wonderful home to us- we loved it!

Five Star
Property is well kept and maintained. Apt was spotless and well appointed. I liked the Kanes very much and happy they live on the property. The pond was so relaxing to watch with its ducks, Canada Goose and big Blue Heron who dropped in daily. This vacation spot has a 5 star rating as far as I go.

Private, well maintained
This is a great, affordable option that lets you explore both sides of MDI. Close to a gravel beach, 15 minutes from town, on the free bus route. The house is not luxorious but is private and exceptionally well maintained. We hope to be back soon.

Lovely place for our family vacation
We had a wonderful time at Pond View this summer- it was such a comfy, convenient place for a family vacation! Being right on the island, all the charms of the area are within a short drive. It truly had all the comforts of home, it was scrupulously clean, and plus, it was perfect for our budget. My teenage son particularly enjoyed casting a line in the pond whenever we were home, between all the sightseeing we did. He caught some nice fish, too! The neighbors were very helpful and gave us suggestions on things to do and see. I'm writing this review a couple months after our stay, and looking at the pictures, I'm getting nostalgic, thinking about our wonderful vacation to Acadia and our lovely little house where stayed.
