Great area away from the city

Great stay, house was even better than pictured. Loved the pet friendly aspect. Host was great with communication and fixing a wifi hiccup. Highly recommend. Far enough away from the city to be quiet while close enough to kake a quick trip to the harbor for tourist things.

Large house for great price that you can bring your dog!

This is a large 4 bedroom house centrally located on the island. Only about 10-15 minute drive to bar harbor, less than 10 minutes to park loop road, and around 15 minutes to southwest harbor. The place was very clean, easy to get to and even has a fenced in area for my dog. I have a great dane, so that should give you an idea of how roomy the place is since he had plenty of room in the house and fenced area. You are also only 2 minutes away from the dog kennels that offer boarding and daycare for dogs. The owner Janice was very responsive to any questions and we had plenty of towels available. Full laundry also on site. I will definitely be back!

Dog friendly, convenient, and comfortable

We had a group of three couples and two medium to large dogs. This place was great for the dogs. The fenced in yard was perfect. There was plenty of seating in the living room for us all and we made the one and a half baths work for us. Very helpful to have the downstairs toilet separate from the shower. Cable was great. Loved having a tv in the bedroom. Internet was great for basic use, simple gaming, and zoom meetings. Well stocked kitchen and all the basic supplies in the house were there as advertised. We made good use of the puzzles :) Definitely would recommend to others and would stay again.

Value

You'll choose this property for the value, and it should meet your expectations. Host was very prompt with communications and the location of the property was good. Stairs leading to the upper level were tight. You had to focus when walking up or down. Bathroom on upper level was in a bedroom with a sheet as a door. Bathroom on main level was separated with toilet in one room, sink and shower in another along with washer and dryer. Main floor toilet in need of adjustment. The property had all the towels, detergents, soaps, pans, pots, etc. needed to make meals and shower/wash clothes; so that was nice. Our intent was to be outside as much as possible so we spent much of our time exploring, but the property's exterior could have been maintained better. The grass was high and the portion of yard fenced is small. The property ran out of heating fuel so no hot water on the last day. We contacted the host, and she was very helpful, offering us access to other properties and calling for an emergency delivery. We opted to leave earlier than expected so we did not follow through with either option she provided. Overall, the host was attentive and communicated well, the rental was a good value, and with some minor attention to issues would be a great place to stay again. Thanks.

Cozy home and great location

My husband, dog, and I had a wonderful stay here! It was the perfect spot to navigate the island, while being quiet and away from the crowds. The home was very comfortable and relaxing to spend time in. I love that there are games and books there as well. The fenced in yard was perfect for letting our dog out for a bit-especially on the rainy days. Janice was great at communicating and made checkin very easy. If we plan another Bar Harbor trip, we would stay here again and would highly recommend to others.

Perfect place for our family while visiting Acadia!

There was plenty of space for our family to spread out. Decent kitchen to make meals in and quiet spot for my husband to work in an upstairs room. The neighbors were fantastic too. Great. Enteral location for Desert Island and all parts of Acadia. Close to Bar Harbor. Host was great at communicating.

Good Location, Old House

The house is a great location - everything is a quick trip away. The wifi is excellent. The beds were comfortable. The floors and surfaces had been cleaned. But, the dishes were put away dirty, the shower curtain was moldy, and there was a general mold smell that came from the bathroom. The stairs are a bit treacherous - very narrow and steep. We had problems with mice in the house. Janice was responsive and brought over traps.

More of a cabin

The owner was very very responsive and helpful with questions and recommendations for the area. We booked very far in advance. I had asked questions, we requested a mid week week long stay. The owner was very gracious and let us. She stated the vrbo had updated and the listing dates should have been sat to sat. At that point I should have confirmed that everything else listed was accurate. When I booked it had air conditioning listed, I know it did because my husband asked after I booked and I double checked. There is no air conditioning. The current listing does not have air conditioning listed. We learned this when we got there. there is another house about 15 feet away. I should have questioned if there was neighbors. I am a very private person. When you turn on the road it is like the camp grounds in our area with about 4 houses clustered together. The house does not have over head fans. There are floor stand fans which are plugged into extension cords. This also was a safety concern for me. I ciuldnt locate the fire extinguisher but maybe i missed it. We are in the fire sedvice so naturally we pick up on stuff. Currently the listing shows dead bolts. There aren't deadbolts. There are smoke detectors in each of the bedrooms downstairs. We are a small family and the downstairs was enough for us. The stairs to the upstairs are very small. We hiked one day then wanted to just relax the next. That also happened to be a 90 degree day. We litterly sat there sweating. When we cooked it got even hotter inside. We actually left early. The cabin was damp. The flooring appears to need fixed in the shower area which also holds the washer and dryer. The toilet is separate from the shower. This was good but eh at the same time. Since i wasnt used to it i was touching the door knob to close it, go to the bathroom them open the door again and over to the shower room touching the light switch then washing my hands. It had a certain smell to it which was not horrible but it was a smell that permeated and came home with our clothes. Even after washing them I can still smell it. This was our 2nd time visiting the area. All in all it is a nice place, it is in a great location, just didn't match my expectations. The owners communication is great.

Everything you need for a Maine stay!

This sweet little property had everything you needed for your Maine stay. We had to do the lobster meal, and the house had everything we needed. It had nice size bedrooms and plenty of beds. The location is perfect. A 10 minute drive to Bar Harbor and a 10 minute drive to SouthWest Harbor. Every question we had, the owners were quick to respond. Very sweet! I hope to return to Maine and this sweet little home!

Met Our Needs

The kitchen was equipped, minus a dishwasher which was stated in the description but we just used paper plates. Really happy that we had a washer and dryer in the house, although the towels were a little musty smelling… We did appreciate that the toilet downstairs is in a separate room from the shower. The beds were very comfortable, but the description is accurate about the narrow staircase to upstairs. We used the grill and we had a nice secluded yard for the kids to play in. One morning we even saw two deer walking thru the yard out the kitchen window. The living room has ample room for seating and our family enjoyed board games and puzzles (even has a coffee table that lifts up for easier puzzle piece placement) when it rained most of a day on our trip. The location is a general -15-25 min drive from anywhere on the island, so it’s perfect for getting to see everything without taking too much of your time driving. We bought groceries online and did Walmart pickup in Ellsworth (about 18 mins back on the mainland) to save time and money. We really enjoyed eating at Archie’s Lobster in Bass Harbor, C Ray Lobster near the house, and for a sweet treat getting ice cream flights with 4 flavors and mini cones for only $6.50 at Udder Heaven Ice Cream Retreat. Our family highly recommends the secluded beach at Little Hunter’s Beach in Acadia, it’s definitely a hidden gem! We also thoroughly enjoyed the Maine Lumberjack Show with Timber Tina back on the mainland. The Jordan Pond and eating popovers at the Pond House were highlights too. If you’re looking for a cruise we did 3 and our favorite was Bass Harbor Island Cruises - The Nature Cruise. Our second favorite was Whale Watch Co - The Lobster Fishing & Seal Watching Cruise.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I spent many summers here until we decided to move here in 1989. We love Acadia National Park and the towns on MDI. (And fresh lobster of course). Spend your vacation at our rental property and I'm sure you'll fall in love with Maine too!
