Great location!
We loved that the location was close enough to Bar Harbor to run into town for food, a few drinks, etc but far enough away to be a quiet retreat. It was a great spot for hiking wherever we were headed on the island. The house was totally equipped and a great spot to relax for our pup too. The master bed was super comfortable, which is so important after a long day of hiking.

Nice Quiet Home Close to it All
Wonderful home for a family vacation! We loved how quiet this house was but that it was close to Acadia and Bar Harbor without having to deal with the traffic. The house itself had everything we needed and more. We thought it was larger that the pictures showed. We always enjoyed ending our busy days eating dinner on the deck then playing games around the fire. We hope to rent this home again next time we are in town.

Perfect house and location
We loved our stay at this house- It was very clean and well stocked!! It was a short walk to the Island Explorer bus stop which made getting to Bar Harbor and other Acadia spots easy!

2nd Visit
Had such a great experience last year, came back again. Very clean home, has everything you'd need in a rental. Hosts are kind and responsive to inquiries. Close to enjoy all Acadia has to offer but without the craziness of Bar Harbor. Quiet street, great pizza place within walking distance and other great restaurants close-by without that intense-touristy feel.

Lovely Home
Probably our favorite house we have stayed at on the island. The house itself is gorgeous with a lovely huge porch complete with a super cool fire pit! The house was stocked with everthing you would need and was very clean. The hosts were very responsive and extremely helpful. The location of the house is perfect. It's private but all necessities and of course Acadia are only a short drive away. Plus, our dogs were allowed to stay with us which was amazing. Could not have asked for a better home base for our trip!

Great, all-around stay.
Cozy, comfortable home away from it all, but close enough to everything you could want in Bar Harbor and Acadia. Jim is a master lobsterman and delivered our holiday dinner.

Very good location close to the park and harbor
The house itself was very neat and provided many of the necessary provisions for a comfortable stay. Would stay again in future trips to Mt Desert island.

Beautiful house that’s great for a family stay!
We loved this house, it was spacious and felt like a home away from home. They have a high chair, and a pack and play (thank goodness because we forgot ours). We did end up going to pick up a baby gate to keep our baby off from the stairs, so I would suggest bringing your own if you have a curious dare devil like us! The kitchen was spacious and had most every tool, pots, and pans that you will need, and a great dining area. Bar Harbor is amazing, and we hope to go again in the future, we would definitely try to stay in this home again. Thank you Annette and Jim for the beautiful home to stay in on our first family vacation!

Second year staying here and it felt like home. Wonderful amenities in the house (I mean literally anything, and more, that you would have in your own house is provided) and location couldn't be better for getting to all spots around MDI.

Perfect Stay!
Annette and Jim's house was the perfect place to come to after a day full of adventures. We loved the location, and how close it was to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Their house was super clean and cozy, and had the most comfortable beds! If we are fortunate enough to make it back to the Bar Harbor area, we will be SURE to stay here! It was the most perfect stay!

Acadia
We had a wonderful time staying here. The location was ideal for exploring Acadia National Park and all the charming towns nearby. The house was extremely tidy and comfortable with lots of attention to detail in terms of what a family traveling might need. We loved being able to cook meals in the well-stocked kitchen, making smores around the fire, and relaxing with games after a long day exploring.

Great Central location on the island
The place was wonderful and in a good location, where no part of the island is more than 25 minutes away. The owner harvests lobsters for a living and sold us a few at a great price which we cooked up in the well stocked kitchen. The next time we visit the island, we'll definitely aim to stay here again.

Great location and very comfortable
This is our third time at this property. It was clean and comfortable as usual. The location is great because you can get to BH, Acadia, SW Harbor, Ellsworth and the west side within a short drive. The house worked great for kids and adults.
