This home was in a great location for our daily trips to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The table for ten was perfect for gathering in the evenings to enjoy home cooked meals, followed by smores around the campfire. It was supplied with everything we needed to make our stay very enjoyable and stress free. Absolutely would stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wanderlust. Clean, uncluttered, fully stocked kitchen and well designed, with an attentive and quick to respond host.
Excellent option for family visiting Bar harbor / Acadia
Home was just as advertised. Clean, comfortable, stocked well. Good option for familes visiting the Bar harbor / Acadia area (about 30 mins away). Beds were very firm and comfortable. Room with 4 beds is perfect hangout spot for the kids.
The house was a great place to stay with a great location . The house sits off the road so it provides a nice retreat and play area for kids. The house would be good for a big family as there were many sleeping options and was well equipped with supplies for your stay.We enjoyed the restaurant Ruth and Wimpyâs that was close. Short drive to Acadia National Park.
The Wanderlust was very comfortable and clean. The setting is beautiful and there is a fun outside yard. Rachel was a great host and great communicator. She gave us everything we asked for ... even buying a baby pack n play.
Great house !!
My husband and I, along with our dog, enjoyed a three day stay at this terrific property in Hancock Maine.
The house is ideally situated a short drive to Ellsworth, and a half-hour drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. It is at the end of a long driveway and surrounded by grass and lush forest. Our dog loved the yard!
The house itself is very comfortable and well appointed, with everything required to make a stay complete.
Stayed for a few days for a wedding with my family and their spouses and children. Perfect place for our family regarding number of bedrooms and bathrooms. Very clean and updated. Just loved it! It is very nicely decorated and loved the cookware. Has everything you can think of!
The Wanderlust was great for our family trip to Acadia. The host was very easy to communicate with, and checkin/checkout were a breeze. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The four bedrooms each had a different layout, which was perfect to accommodate both the adults and kids. The kids also enjoyed playing in the large yard. The house is close to several grocery stores and restaurants and about 30-40 mins from anything in Acadia and Bar Harbor. It was a perfect home base for our trip!

Their ultimate goal is to be able move back to the area and retire in a community that they love and are passionate about.
