Ideal location

This location was a perfect location. Only 10 minutes to Visitor center or Cadillac Mountain or a short drive into Bar Harbor. The property had plenty of entertainment options for our group. We loved the great room and the openness of the downstairs made meal time a great family event.

Comfortable stay for our large group

Overall really pleasant stay. We loved the fireplace tucked into the woods and the ping pong table. The house and rooms are really large, but they could benefit from adding multiple beds in some of the rooms so people don’t have to sleep on couches, and minor easy updates to decor throughout the house would make this property stand out. Really good proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia.

Family time in a great spot

We loved the spacious home since there were nine of us. Well stocked kitchen except for lack of dishwasher. We used all the amenities-- kayaks, hot tub, ping pong, fire pit, grill and had a a great time together. Lovely property by the river.

Acadia gem

This house is great for families including multigenerational families. We loved the tire swing, fire pit and hot tub. Having the high chair and pack and play was a nice surprise. Maybe you could add it to the home’s amenities so future families don’t have to rent them like we did. Great location to access the park and for excellent restaurants in bar harbor.

Great House!

The kitchen was well equipped, although it doesn’t have a dishwasher…just FYI. Some other reviews mentioned being on the main road with traffic. We didn’t mind that at all. The house was so centrally located that we were able to get to all of the island within 10-20 minutes. It was a great location!! And the back of the house is very peaceful and secluded…no other houses around. We made a fire in the fire pit most nights and enjoyed kayaking around the river! The hottub was great after all the hiking we did. Our family of 8 were very comfortable there! Thanks!

This is a great house for a large family. The back yard and deck are wonderful! Access to the quiet side of MDI is so easy and nice, and access to the busier side is 10-15 minutes away when that's what you're looking for. Host is very responsive and helpful!

Overall, this was a great place to stay, with lots of space, clean rooms, great central location on Desert Island, and easy check in. Our big complaint was there were dirty dishes put away, and some basic neglected property maintenance, including water filter on refrigerator needing to be changed, a very old and broken Adirondack chair in the back and a few other minor things. This property appears to be run by a larger agency and lacks some of that extra personal attention you often can find in other properties. I did send all this feedback to them directly and they apologized and said would address. Be good to see people who rent this after us if they see the changes or not. With extra personal attention it certainly can be 5 stars, but otherwise if this is how the property is going to be managed, then it should come at a lower price in my opinion.

6/10 Okay

Nice proximity to attractions.

The house was relatively clean and the two service issues were addressed quickly. The house is right on the Main Street, so was very noisy with lots of traffic going by. We couldn’t use fire pit or hot tub because there were too many mosquitos.
