About this property

Home with deck, great location in the heart of Acadia National Park

  • Find a bright, airy retreat in the midst of Acadia National Park at this 3-bedroom Mount Desert home, a family-friendly escape with a sunny deck and an outstanding location for hikers, kayakers, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts!

    You'll find this home in the small community of Otter Creek, which is bordered on all sides by Acadia's serene landscapes. Get up before dawn to catch the sunrise on the Cadillac Mountain South Ridge Trail down the road, hop on the nearby Park Loop Road to see Acadia's highlights, and sit down for a wonderful dinner or two in downtown Bar Harbor five miles north.

    The living space was seemingly designed for a family, offering casual, comfortable furnishings, and free WiFi. Begin each morning with coffee and breakfast in the kitchen (with a dishwasher), and spend the day hiking the Ocean Path or whale-watching off the coast. Come home to enjoy dinner on the deck, and retire inside for a night of board games and movies on the two flatscreen TVs.

    Come and discover one of Maine's most majestic landscapes!

Great Location

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and looking forward to staying here whenever we’re back in Bar Harbor! The house is a great location - it’s has great privacy while being just a few minutes to Bar Harbor for shopping and restaurants and to Acadia for sight seeing and hiking trails. The house was well stocked with ample sets of towels, shampoo conditioner and wash, kitchen supplies, and board games / entertainment. Was spacious enough for 5 adults and clean.

Surrounded by the Park!

Really nice house and kitchen. Andy the location is great. You can quickly go to Bar Harbor, or you can avoid it altogether if you want. Easy access to trails, the Loop Road, Cadillac Mountain, etc. We got a reservation and then drove to the summit of Cadillac Mountain in significantly less than an hour. As a bonus, my youngest son (19) and I saw a young Buck as we were loading the car to leave. We just stared at the Buck for about a minute as a guess. Then it turned and left, its' hooves completely silent as it seemed to float away.

Great location, lots of potential, needs better cleaning, and updates.

Stove was greasy, pink mold inside the 5 dehumidifiers, grass needed mowed, 100s of dead ants in game room/garage that could easily be swept up, cobwebs in windows. Emptying 5 dehumidifiers that filled up in less than 24 hours got old quick! Not really what I thought I was paying for. This house is in great location and has a lot of potential but needs a good clean, some updates, and some kind of solution to the mugginess on the lower floor that doesn’t require vacationers to empty 5 dehumidifiers at least once daily.

Great Place in an excellent location.

This place has the best value for money given its location! We had a wonderful stay. However, 2 bathrooms for a 11 people was the only shortcoming could think of about this place but other than that we had a great time!

Great Location

We loved how close this home was to everything when visiting Acadia National Park. It was easy to get to and from everywhere and made our whole trip enjoyable. The house was great with lots of space and the kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary items to make your own meals. A great place to stay!

Good big property for a family vacation! Peaceful and quiet atmosphere. Good price for the area. Be aware, there is only 4 private bedrooms, 2 are in the basement and you need to run dehumidifiers and empty constantly.

Awesome Location

This property is located very near an entrance to Acadia National Park. We were able to easily access the park loop road, and get right to attractions like Cadillac Mountain, Thunder hole, and Sand Beach. The deck is great, comes equipped with a grill, and could easily accommodate a large group.
