Peaceful, spacious retreat
Great rental! Our family of 5 had plenty of room to relax and we had everything we needed in a lovely setting. The house was clean and well stocked. There is plenty of deck space and we enjoyed sitting outside to enjoy the peaceful backyard. It was nice to be so close to the lighthouse and a few easy trails (Wonderland and Ship Harbor). The Seawall picnic area is close also and a nice place to take in the view. While the drive to other popular Acadia spots is about half an hour, that was fine with us and we were glad to be staying on the quiet side of the island away from the crowds. There are some good restaurants close by- Archie’s was the best for amazing lobster rolls and a nice setting! We had good communication from the owner and everything was smooth! We will recommend this place to others.

Very comfortable, restful house in great location
This house was perfect for our family group of 6 adults as we visited Acadia. Just minutes away from Bass Harbor Lighthouse, Wonderland Trail, great lobster restaurants. We enjoyed being on the "quiet side" if Mt Desert Island. But all the sights on the other side of the island were an easy drive and we were able to visit them, too. Loved the backyard firepit/chairs, bedroom configuration, well equipped kitchen. Everything was spotlessly clean. We visited during a spell of particularly hot weather and we did appreciate the house's fans. If you come during hot temps, you may wish to consider bringing additional small fans for comfort. We highly recommend this house for an Acadia visit, particularly since the host provided use of a park pass!

Great for a family vacation!
Came up with our family of four plus my mother, great house with lots of room for everyone to have their own space. The porch is beautiful and we really enjoyed just sitting out enjoying the sounds on the quieter side of the island. There was even a family of deer who came through several times. Short walk to the Bass Head Light and right on the Island Explorer route.

Great location and wonderful house
The house was away from the crowds but close enough to be convenient. It was perfect for our multifamily group and really felt like we were in Maine. The house is in a quiet area with lots of woods and away from any crowds, but easy to get to the activities and places we wanted to visit. It was the perfect balance of the what we wanted for our Maine trip. It was family friendly, spacious, clean, and comfortable. Would definitely stay there again on our next trip.

Had a wonderful stay
Tina was the ideal host, helpful and communicative. We had a great time staying here. There was plenty of space for our grown family of five. It is a perfect spot for reading and relaxing, playing cornhole or basketball, watching the birds and wildlife in the yard, and as a base for for exploring Mount Desert Island. The house was very clean and comfortable and the free park pass was a nice touch. The Hansens store is close by for provisions, and Gotts is just a minute further (they also have pretty good pizza). We were only there for a few days but already have many good memories from this trip!

Best place ever
This property was clean and well maintained. There were five of us total and the place was big enough that we all felt comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, plates etc. Out of our five day stay we cooked in 3 nights. The beds were very comfortable (which can be a vacation breaker) the outside grounds were well maintained, and we even saw deer every day and a mother deer and her fawn playing in the yard. We were about 30 minutes from Bar Harbor which was just right for us. We can't wait to go back again and stay longer.

Nice location close to southwest harbor and the lighthouse. Private tranquil setting. Very clean with lots of room. Master has en suite and basement has separate bed and bath making it work well for us traveling and work colleagues. Good communication from a very kind host. Not far to the park at all - we went every day and stopped at milagro coffee on the way. Thanks, Tina!

Comfortable and spacious
We very much enjoyed our stay here -- the house is spacious, clean, quiet, and exactly as described. We loved roasting marshmallows over the firepit and sitting on the back deck, either with the birds for coffee in the morning or watching the sun set over the trees in the evening. We love the quieter side of the island and hope to be back!

We had a fantastic stay at this house for our vacation. With three adults and two teens there is plenty of space for everyone. The kids really enjoyed having their own rooms. The location is perfect with the quick drive/walk to the lighthouse for sunset pictures, and nearby easy hiking trails. We also got fantastic pictures at the seawall during sunset as well! The house is well-stocked and the owner has thought of everything to make our stay clean, comfortable, organized and welcoming. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck with the great view and smores by the firepit in the evening. The next time we are in Maine, we hope to stay here again.

The house we rented was a welcome sight for us as weary travelers, as it is nestled in a forest with chirping birds and pine trees. We were close to the Seawall picnic area where we met our relatives and wasn’t far from SW Harbor where we went to the Gilley Museum and dined at some of the local restaurants. The house is nicely laid out for both privacy and socializing. It was a great find.

We had a wonderful stay at this very comfortable, clean, welcoming home with a fantastic host. We enjoyed being able to walk to the Bass Harbor Light and not have to worry about parking as well as enjoying many beautiful trails on the quiet side of the island. We walked the Wonderland trail, hiked Beech and Flying Mountains and went to Echo Lake as well as being close to Bar Harbor and all of the beautiful areas in Acadia with a short drive to the other side of the island. We had a great lunch at Sidestreet Cafe in Bar Harbor and hiked the Beehive trail. After days of exploring and hiking, it was really nice to enjoy sitting on the back deck of the house with beautiful birch trees all around. We hope to stay at this home again.

Belle maison pour vacances en famille dans la nature. Idéal pour se reposer et se ressourcer!
Une belle semaine où nous avons pu alterner balades et temps de détente dans la maison de Tina. Nous avons trouvé de bons jeux de société et apprécié le panier de basket et le barbecue . Tout était prévu également pour notre petite fille de un an et c’était très agréable. Une biche et son faon vivent près de la maison. Quel plaisir de les admirer!
