Close enough to visit Acadia and Bar Harbor. Also excellent night kayaking nearby. The house was very nice and served the 7 of us well.

This was a great find for a stay to visit family in a rural area - we comfortably slept five adults and were lucky to be able to bring along our dog - the first floor bedroom was a bonus and the kitchen was well-appointed and made for a comfortable gathering spot.

We came to visit family and were so happy with the house. We came with an 18 month old, 6 and 10 year old who all found games and activities provided. The bedrooms were perfectly comfortable and spacious. It was convenient, well set up, and had absolutely everything we needed. I would highly recommend. It is in such an absolutely beautiful area.

This house was perfect for us. We had 4 generations from age 13 to 86. (5 people total and 2 small dogs). Plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. We had an issue with water one day because we are not used to well water, but the owners were easy to communicate with and it was a super simple fix. The location was good with lots of places within an hour. Acadia, Bar Harbor, Deer Isle, Stonington...everywhere was wonderful.

We loved it! The space is beautiful and relaxing. The kitchen is well appointed. There is a piano, beautiful toys and children's books for the children, books for the adults and a lovely yard for the children to kick the soccer ball.
We were here for a large family wedding and folks were able to stop by and visit.
The four bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfy.
The owner of the home was helpful whenever I had a pre-visit question.
We would go back in a minute!
The country roads and local small beaches created a relaxing rural vibe.

My family and i have been looking forward to this since we booked back in December! Such a lovely home and more than we expected. Loved the quiet and lack of ambient noise or light.

We loved the old farmhouse feel with modern amenities. Plenty of room for a crowd, though we were only three, visiting family in nearby Blue Hill. Totally comfortable.

It was a little out of the way, but we enjoyed the quiet location. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for a lobster boil already there. Clean, well kept and lots of charm. Lots to explore along the coast and an easy drive to Acadia National Park.

Convenient location about an hour from Acadia National Park! Close to Blue Hill with lots of dining options. Loved the toys for the kids to play with!
My only wish would be for a larger shower ;) Otherwise, a great house in Maine!

The house worked well for our family. Three teens and 5 adults were comfortable and had a wonderful time. We explored the peninsula and spent a day at Acadia. Our group appreciated the kitchen, the decks and having plenty of room to relax. Thank you!!

House always felt damp with a mildew like odor regardless of the weather. We had to clean the laundry equipment of dead insects and insect carcasses before it could be used and whenever we used the basement for laundering the odors which escaped made the whole house smelly.

Overall had a good time, owner was easy to get ahold of and accommodating on being open to us arriving a day sooner than expected.
House is an old farmhouse that has been updated for the most part but did have the old farmhouse feel in some parts.
Overall was a nice place for my family with 4 boys (7yrs-15yrs old) and in-laws
We did have some issues with water/well/pump not being able to keep up during our stay and had to baby it thru the visit even with babying it thru we still did not have much water. Owner was contacted and sent someone over for maintenance within minutes (maintenance man told us had been an issue the last few weeks and hoping to fix permanently in off season)

Big home with plenty of space for our family of 7. Firewood was provided, which was appreciated for the chilly outdoor evenings and mornings. Playing monopoly and checkers by the fireplace fire was quite nice. We loved the location since it was close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor, while enabling us to visit Blue Hill and other quaint Maine towns near Brooksville. Added bonus was the Pet Sematary movie sites near the home. Only concerns: upstairs queen mattress needs to be replaced (springs with insufficient padding). Also, there is only one shower in the home (downstairs), the other bathroom (upstairs) has a jetted tub with hand spray. Just something to be aware of. Last concern - a newer, bigger TV would be nice to watch Pet Sematary.

My family and parents stayed at this quaint farm house for 5 days. I have booked many properties on Vrbo and this was very accurate of the house discription.
Our trip to Maine was for my nieces wedding on Deer Isle which was just a short drive away. We really enjoyed exploring the surrounding area, viisit Arcadia National Park, Stonington, and Bar Harbor.
For an older farm house it was clean and comfortable except for the basement which was alittle scary and dirty.
I do have to mention the only shower in the house which is on the 1st floor, I was very small!! I am not a big person 5'5" and 140lbs and it was tight for me. There is a bathroom on the 2nd floor but it only has a tub.
Finally, We really enjoyed our time in Maine and the family dinners at the house . The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and especially enjoying Lobster.

Despite the smooth booking and check-in process facilitated by VRBO and the listing host, my family's three-night stay at this property was notably disappointing.
Initial impressions were positive, with the property appearing as described in the photos. However, the reality diverged from our expectations.
The first issue we confronted pertained to the bathrooms. Designed more for baths than showers, one bathroom had a rinse handle which made showering inconvenient. The second bathroom, lacking a lock, posed privacy problems.
Our dissatisfaction continued when we noticed a peculiar smell from the bedding that resulted in skin irritation for three guests. We eliminated the possibility of bedbugs, but concluded that the bedding was likely unwashed.
We persisted with our stay, hoping for improvement. Yet, upon returning from a day out in the city, we found a rodent in the kitchen and an insects elsewhere primarily in the bedrooms. These cleanliness issues led us to shorten our stay by a day.
Further aggravating our experience was a "full" bed that was ill-equipped to support two adults, threatening to collapse at times.
In sum, this property failed to provide a satisfactory stay due to its compromised cleanliness and misleading listing. It's our hope that this feedback prompts the hosts to improve conditions for future guests.

The hosts are great; they were very responsive whenever we had issues during our nearly 3 week stay with two small children under four years old. The house is in a spectacularly scenic area and is very spacious. The kitchen is well-stocked and we had everything we needed to cook at the house. The piano was really cool and was a big hit. The outdoor porch, fire pit, and grill are great and we enjoyed using them every night! The house is centrally located to many scenic areas.
That being said, it wasn't a great fit for us having small children, especially a crawler! There are lots of hazards in the house including a steep, slippery staircase and the TV stand isn't very secure.
We had issues with field mice and bugs throughout our stay. We saw mice running across the floor the first two nights of our stay and eventually caught one that had chewed through the internet cable, leaving us without internet until we were able to find a replacement cable. We had to run to the hardware store and set out mouse poison and sticky traps, which became another set of hazards for our crawling daughter. The host was apologetic in regards to the issue, but we got the impression that pest control is a recurring challenge with this property.
The floors beneath the registers are really dirty, with lots of dust, bugs, hair, and crumbs. We gave the floor a thorough cleaning ourselves and were surprised how much dirt we picked up right at the beginning of the stay. We also washed some of the sofa slipcovers, which did not feel or smell clean. We needed to do some regular housekeeping throughout our visit. It would be great to see a few upgrades (a better vacuum, shelving and a better shower head in the downstairs bathroom, etc.) to facilitate longer-term stays.
We were disappointed in the overall level of cleanliness in the house and the pest issues were frustrating to manage. We would not consider this house kid-friendly if you have children under 5 years old.

Beautiful property in a beautiful area with plenty of space for your small group. The amenities were excellent. There are concerns about the water availability - as our group was in the area for a wedding, the well pump went down for hours at a time while trying to get ready, even despite our best efforts at spacing timing out and conserving water.
