We had a great stay here! It is large, clean, and very comfortable. Location near Southwest Harbor is great for those wishing for a quieter retreat. The town has everything you need (restaurants, lobster pier, cute shops, ice cream, groceries) without the tourist crowds. Hosts were helpful with all our questions!
We had a very nice time staying here. Everything was very clean and spacious. Great location for food and attractions. We will definitely be coming back.
This is a stunning specious house surrounded by a forest. The hosts thought of every little detail in this house, including books and games. More than recommended!
We are a group of 4 adults that visited Maine for a week of photography, sight seeing, and eating. This house was a perfect base for us, as it got us out of the congestion in Bar Harbor without having to drive too far away. We had fun dining and shopping in Southwest Harbor and visiting various sites in Acadia Natl Park. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. They provided answers to all of our questions. We would absolutely return to this house for any future trips in the area.
Our group very much enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and well-kept, and there is plenty of room inside and outside (including a large back deck and yard) for a small or large group to relax. The hosts Sarah and Paul were warm and welcoming. I highly recommend this property and would happily stay again on our next visit to Mt. Desert Island.
My husband and I spent an idyllic few days at this immaculate and roomy home. We agreed that it's one of the best rentals we've experienced. The house had absolutely everything we needed and the decor was lovely. Sarah and Paul could not have been kinder or more responsive. We'd love to stay here again.
This was my family's first trip to Maine and our first extended-stay experience with Vrbo. We loved it.
We had four adults (two of them seniors) and two young children. We had a ton of space both inside and outside. This ranch style house has a very sensible floor plan. The open kitchen/family area leading out to the backyard has tall ceilings with skylights.
This area is not walkable to any shops or restaurants. We did daily trips to the various harbors, trails, beaches. We are glad we picked this area instead of the busier regions of the island. Very peaceful and relaxing.
The hosts are very accommodating and responsive.
The house was very roomy and comfortable. Lots of space for everyone. Having a bathroom in each bedroom is a benefit. Great access to all of Mt. Desert Island.
It was a wonderful visit. My wife and I stayed with our daughter, son-in-law and two grandkids. When our 3 year old grandson was asked about his favorite part of the trip, he replied "the big house." He loved staying there.
This house is conviently located in Southwest Harbor. I liked being away from busy Bar Harbor. Acadia has a lot of great activities nearby: Wonderland Trail, Ship Harbor, Flying Mountain, Seawall, Bass Harbor. My granddaughter loved watching the birds visit the birdfeeder. She used the bird book in the sunroom to look up the various birds that came by.
The hosts were great. They left us a bottle of wine and communicated well. It couldn't have been better.
I highly recommend staying here.
This house was everything I could have asked for and more! It was in a lovely, safe neighborhood. It was clean and had all the amenities we needed. The hosts gave clear instructions and were available if needed. For 6 adults and a few dogs, the house had places to spread out (sun room, nook off of the master bedroom, each couple got their own bathroom) as well as to come together for âfamilyâ dinner or game nights (big dining table and living room). We cooked a lot of our meals and had everything we needed in the kitchen. Absolutely perfect vacation!
All enjoyed this house immensely. Super comfortable. Quiet location, and convenient. Super clean, all the conveniences necessary. Very generous with supplies. Even had crate and bowls for our furry son. Hope to return soon.
We stayed here over the 4th of July and had a marvelous stay. We have been using VRBO for several years and this is by far the nicest and best equipped property we have ever been at. The layout was fabulous, plenty of space. A lovely gift basket with local yummies greeted us. Paul and Sarah were accommodating and responsive. They even had dog bowls ready for us! Can't wait to go back!
This was our first visit to Maine, and we had a great time. This home was a perfect base to explore Mt. Desert island/Acadia National Park for 11 days in May 2024. It is a lovely place to stay- welcoming, well- furnished, well appointed, and lots of room for family, with three very nice bedrooms and attached baths. The hosts are attentive, but not at all intrusive. Great spot!
We absolutely loved our stay here. The house has been constructed with an eye for anything you might need for comfort and convenience in a home. Of special note, the 4 season back porch, the open air back deck, and the skylights which always bring in the natural light. The kitchen is beautiful and was clearly constructed with care including back-lighting on the cabinets and beautiful glassware for any kind of beverage. The couches and beds were comfortable, there are ample bathrooms, temperature was easily controlled for maximum comfort.
The location is fantastic- it's an 11 min drive to the Swan's Island Ferry, 3 mins to Southwest Harbor and also to Long Pond, 20 mins to the Cadillac Mountain trailhead. We came in early spring when weather is unpredictable so we were interested in staying in a house that would still be a fun place to stay even on a cold and rainy day. We ended up having amazing weather but still enjoyed cozy evenings here. The hosts were welcoming, responsive, and respectful of our privacy. We are grateful for the opportunity to stay there; it was a memorable week for our family. We could not recommend this home more strongly.
We have stayed here for 3 consecutive years and everything remains great with this property and accommodating our family including a dog. Great location, away from major roads on a nice side street in a quiet neighborhood. Fantastic layout of the house with really good soundproofing in the walls!
My husband and I moved to the area in 2015 due to job relocation and absolutely fell in love with the area. We enjoy opening our home to people from all over the world to allow others to experience the true beauty that Mount Desert Island has to offer.
Our home is located on what locals call "The Quietside"--not in the hustle bustle of Bar Harbor tourism but just a short drive away. It's close to various access points to Acadia National Park such as Long Pond (1 mile away), Echo Lake (short 3 minute drive), Bass Harbor Head Light House and Seawall, to name a few. The town of Southwest Harbor also has many restaurants and some cute little shops. After a long day of adventure and/or shopping that the Island has to offer, it's lovely to come home to a calm, relaxing environment and sit in the sun room with a cup of coffee to enjoy the wild life in the back yard.
