Had an amazing time overall! If I'm nitpicking (which I am), securing the dishwasher so it doesn't tip slightly when loading would be good (was not a hazard).The firepit was relaxing and the indoor pool was as massive and fun as the pictures imply. We were very close to Acadia for our trip, and within walking distance of that great street-side Lobster place.Check in was super easy!
Fantastic house on a nice secluded side of the island. House was the perfect home base for all Acadia activities. The pool after a long day was a great way to wind down.
Home was perfect for our extended family of 9. It is quiet, spacious, and very accommodating. Cooked fresh lobster every night we ate at the house and not out. Great little, non-touristy lobster pound called Hodgdon's Seafood, only minutes from the house. Everything we needed to make us feel at home is here. We loved that we could reach most places on our to-do list within half an hour. Although, we did travel 2.5 hours to white water raft on the Kennebec. So worth the trip! We also recommend the Giant Slide Trail if you are up for a challenge. We really canât complain about anything concerning the house, our communication with Shelley, or the accuracy of its listing.
We had three generations in the home. All enjoyed the stay. Kids loved the pool. Being on the âquietâ side of the island was a nice reprieve from the bustle of the east side. Loved being part of the woods.
The house was everything we wanted plus the indoor pool. It was perfect for our trip. We were able to easily prepare meals in the kitchen and had a great time swimming .
The home location was beautiful for a family vacation and the kids had a wonderful time swimming after long days of hiking. The home was overall nice but could use a bit more updating and landscape attention.
We thoroughly enjoyed this house. It was in a quiet, rural area. The house and view were beautiful. We enjoyed the large beautiful indoor pool and hot tub. Perfect to sit outside on the large deck or enjoy a bon fire.
Great property. Grandkids & adults loved the pool! It was a relaxing & refreshing way to end each day after enjoying excursions in Acadia & Bar Harbor. The house was a perfect fit for our family of 11.
House was very nice and such a great stay. Kids loved the private pool, I did as well. Went for a ride around Acadia park and saw some beautiful scenery. Would stay again if we get the chance
Enjoyed the stay at this home, especially the swimming pool. Had all the conveniences needed for six seniors. Enjoyed the lobster restaurants in our area and the pretty scenery. Thanks again for a great stay.
We had a wonderful trip! This property is just as pictured and so large. There are plenty of beds and areas to hang out. The indoor pool is AMAZING for the kids. Just an all around fantastic property!
We enjoyed our stay overall. The main floor is beautiful and looks receently remodeld. The upper floor is like stepping back in time several decades. It definitely could use an update, but it did not detract from our stay. The pool was nice to have, but ran colder than we expected. The owner did stop by to increase the temp, but it didn't stay above 78 most of our stay, so a little too cold for the adults in our group. The teenagers all enjoyed it. The highlight was the jetted tub. Its large enough to comfortably fit two adults and was awesome to relax in at the end of the day. Overall would recommend this place for a family.
Nice big house . Room for everyone. Fire pit. Pool. Not far from Acadia National Park. Beautiful house. Bottom half remodel. Itâs going to look really good when the rest gets done. Would come back !!
We LOVED this Vrbo! It was so homey and so calm. And cozy. It was well kept and clean. maybe some more diversity in pots and pans :) but we loved the pool and Jakuzzi, and all the cozy rooms! Already been bragging about this place :) 10/10
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The main floor is nicely renovated. The kitchen is spacious, but very limited in cooking/dining supplies and equipment. Ample fans for warmer weather. Many of the windows were difficult to open/close. The upstairs is also spacious, but quite dated, and could use some attention (ie ripped linens, missing window screens). The kids adored the pool! We loved the quiet of the home and the area.
Quiet area with things to see and do. The pool was heated and very clean. A nice place overall.The kitchen needs better stocking as it does not have ample cookware, dish cloths, good silverware, sharp knives, and it has a small coffee pot.
Great placeâŠvery clean. We had a bat in the house when we came home from hiking on the second night that we stayed there. Before we got it out (alive) I called Ricky and left a message that we have a bat in his house but no return message or call or text. Not that he could really do anything about it but I thought he should know.
The house was nice and big for our group of 7. The downstairs was nicely remodeled, but the upstairs, while very clean, felt like you were stepping into another era, but it worked. The weather was comfortable during our stay so we didn't mind the fans and open windows at all. However, more windows needed screens or screens that did not have holes in them. We used the pool a little but for the crowd we had, it was a bit cold and could have been a few degrees warmer to be able to really enjoy it.
We loved the location and the out of the way feel. Almost every day we saw deer and a family of turkeys around the house. We loved the close little lobster place just around the corner that you are able to walk to. It was so convenient and an excellent place to eat.
The only negatives we would give would be the kitchen could use some better cooking utensils, can opener (which barely worked) and knives. The stove has some minor issues but we got it to work okay. We did need to wash one of the bed coverings when we arrived but otherwise everything was very clean.
We would recommend this location and would go back if we visit Maine again.
