Lovely Home

The home was clean and spacious. The beds were comfy. The living room and eating areas were spacious enough to comfortably have a few friends visit for dinner. It is dog friendly and our dog enjoyed playing in the snow in the yard. The only suggestion would be to have some glass dishes and a later than 9 a.m. checkout time.

Weekend Jaunt to Mountain View

Comfy, well-appointed, well-stocked, spacious home with views of the mountains and the sound. Location is great! Not too close to everything, but not too far. Owners are very responsive and provided so many amenities within the.house! We like to try different places to stay in MDI during our Nov retreat, but might actually come back Mountain View again!

Quiet and Clean house but few things to note

The house is clean and spacious and located in a quiet neighborhood. There is a well kept landscape; great for morning coffee, peaceful rest, yoga, chat with friends, etc. The house is about 15 minutes from Bar Harbor so access to food and attraction areas were easy. Here are few things to note for others before booking. The check out is at 9:00 AM, which came as a surprise to us and our guest friends. All dishes and glasses are plastic. The 2nd full bath is on the first floor right in the living/ dinning area which makes it hard for two families to use and feel private.There are NO shampoo/ hair conditioning and bodywash/ soap in the showers so make sure you pack yours. There is no access to the lake across the street but there is another lake near by to swim and do other water activities.

Great Place

We are a family of 5 plus 2 grandparents. The space was large to spread out, had adequate bedrooms, and a table large enough to fit us all. Location in terms of being 15 minutes from anything on the island and the quiet neighborhood sold us all! We would not hesitate to rent again! Thanks for the great house.

Clean house, great neighborhood

For a second year, we stayed at this property for a long weekend vacation. The house was clean and has most of what we needed. Lots of space, good bedding, great view on the mountains nearby. Be aware that a pet fee will be charged afterward if Vrbo doesn't add it automatically at the time of booking. Overall a good experience.

Perfect stay

Very spacious and cozy house with an open concept. Perfect for my wife and I and our pups. The house is on a VERY quiet road with very little foot and vehicle traffic. The kitchen was very well stocked with appliances/other cookware needed for our Thanksgiving. The bed was super comfortable. Erica was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Bar harbor was 15-20 minutes away and pretty much a straight shot. Highly recommend!

Great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at Erica's Mountain View home in Mt. Desert. The location was great - close to everything Acadia that we wanted to visit, close to Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor and to a great coffee shop (Milagros) and the IGA Foodmart so we didn't always need to run into BH to Hannafords. The house was updated, clean and comfortable for our family of 5. The upstairs was a bit warmer than we would've liked but the AC units worked hard as did the fans to cool the rooms down. It wasn't a big deal for us. The yard was great for our boys to play outside and we all enjoyed the fire pit and fire wood stand at the street corner was convenient. The hosts were very responsive the few times I messaged them and live nearby which was great. Overall, we liked the area and really liked the house and would consider staying again!

Great Place to Stay

The house was a great location and not too far from all the locations and attractions of Acadia National Park or Bar Harbor. The house itself was very clean and cozy with plenty of space. Some of the heating/cooling was hard to work with and figure out but overall place was great. It does get a really dark outside without the lights so if you go out and will be coming in at night, leave one of the outdoor lights on. Balcony was a great site to sit and eat or just spend time with family. The Fire Pit is great to make s'mores at night.

Beautiful Acadian getaway

We’re especially grateful that the owners allowed us to,change the dates of our stay days before our original start date, after a family emergency. The house is lovely, well equipped and has an open first floor that allowed our family from ages 9 months to 82 to be around each other but in our own space at the same time. We loved our stay there.

Excellent property and location!

This is our second stay at one of Erica's properties and we have loved it both times! Check in is a breeze and the house was well outfitted with everything you could ask for to have a great trip. Kitchen was a well stocked with cooking and cleaning items and we were able to cook great meals while we were there. The beds are comfortable, and the views of the mountain across the sound are simply fantastic for sipping coffee and watching the birds! Erica is a fantastic communicator and I wouldn't hesitate in the slightest to book with her again. Thanks for helping us have a great trip!

Great house for a big family vacation

My family of 4, my parents & my sister’s family of 4 stayed at this property. It was great. Really nice & comfortable & clean with plenty of indoor & outdoor space. It would be nice if the upstairs (where all of the bedrooms are) had AC, but we all loved it nonetheless. We brought a window fan. Great location. Minutes from Southwest Harbor, which is a cute little town. About 17 min from Bar Harbor & a ton of trails & carriage paths. It’s a little less than 30 min from Sand Beach. It worked for us. Erica, the owner, responded within minutes the couple of times I messaged her. Would definitely rent this property again! 6 adults & 3 kids & a baby fit perfectly.

Perfect for our family reunion

We rented this house and the sister property at 7 Grant Hill Road for a family reunion. Everyone appreciated the quiet location and easy access to the Western parts of the island. The home was lovely with comfortable sleeping and gathering areas. The large deck was a perfect gathering area for the whole family to enjoy. We had a wonderful time, and appreciated the homes and easy communication with Erica.

Thanksgiving

Due to the Covid situation we decided to have a small Thanksgiving with just our son, daughter in law, grandchild and two lifelong friends. We had a wonderful time and the house was perfect. Each bedroom had its own temperature control which is excellent. Our grandchild needed her room to be warm, while my husband and I like our room to be really cold when sleeping. All the appliances worked and we made a wonderful meal. The view, especially in winter when you can see the sound is beautiful. We loved it and would return.

Peaceful and Scenic

Thank you Erica and Randy for a wonderful vacation house! Our family of 6 and 2 sets of grandparents enjoyed all aspects of the house. The openness of the first floor made being together as a family fun whether cooking, playing games or watching a movie. The bedrooms were comfy and spacious and accommodated all family members. The deck was perfect for looking at Cadillac Mt and cooking fresh lobster. The proximity to Acadia was perfect. We would highly recommend this home to anyone.
