Great stay, once again!

Our return trip to this amazing home was just as wonderful as the first - lots of space to spread out, fully equipped with everything we needed, and the pool was as awesome (and warm!) as we remembered. The hosts were easy to reach, quick communication. Beautiful location, nice ride around Bar Harbor/ocean drives even in the winter. Thank you for having us once again!

Quiet Side of Acadia

Away from the crowds and tourists of Bar Harbor, but within a 30 minute drive to town if you venture out that way. This home has something for everyone to enjoy - indoor pool, basketball court, ping-pong table, fire pit surrounded by nature, wildlife and trees. Great for star gazing as there’s no light pollution to detract from the views. We took advantage of the numerous nearby trails as well. The home & grounds were clean, the owners were friendly and respectful. Would definitely recommend for a family or group of friends.

House is insanely wonderful

I hate to give all 5 stars because it may be too busy next time I want to return! This is my second time staying here, and the owners are incredibly communicative and hospitable. The kitchen is well appointed with tons of items to use - not every rental can say that! The Keurig has a pod to spoon your own grounds into. Obviously the pool and outside playground was a hit with the kiddos, and the hot tub was a hit with us adults. And the kids slumber partied in the second floor TV area, so adults had their own spaces. It was pretty fantastic! Its address may be funky on your GPS, so use Seal Cove as a town entry and you'll be right on the money.

Fun stay while visiting Acadia, but we couldn't use pool

The house was large and beautiful. Very clean, a great location for visiting Acadia National Park. We were unable to use the pool however because the amount of chlorine in the water (and air) in the pool room caused our eyes to burn/water, irritated our skin and made us all cough (within minutes even after leaving the windows open in hopes of airing the room out). It doesn't seem like many other visitors encountered this during their stay, so it's possible that the pool was recently treated prior to our stay- but was a definite bummer since that was a major reason for our booking this property.

Perfect Place to stay on the Island.

This was our third time at this amazing property. If seclusion is your thing, this is the place to stay. The eastern side of Mount Desert Island has become a crowded zoo. Bar Harbor is an overpriced, hectic area that has lost all its former charm. The quiet side, where this rental is located is the best area to stay. It is still close enough to venture into Bar Harbor if that is your thing. The night sky at this property is amazing! Not a single artificial light can be seen from this property. It is an astronomer’s paradise. The private indoor pool is a rare treat and great to relax in after some hiking and biking. The yard is spacious and has two fire pits, a basketball court and a sand volleyball area. The kitchen has anything you would need to prepare any type of meal. I can’t say enough good things about this property and have nothing to complain about. Stay here and have one of the best vacations of your life.

Pool chemicals were off

Overall we really enjoyed our stay at this home, which has so much to do for kids both on the property and in the region. The spacious yard and basement are great, and there is plenty of room to spread out and relax. The indoor pool is of course a huge draw to this home, but unfortunately left us disappointed. The pool caused lung and eye irritation in all of us, and our young children developed a painful rash. The owners were very responsive when we reached out about this, and suggested adding a very small amount of hydrogen peroxide and gave us access to this as well as test strips which were initially locked up. The test strips revealed that the pH of the water was VERY acidic. The owners then promptly came the following morning to adjust the chemicals, though they took the test strips with them and so we did not feel comfortable using the pool for the remainder of our stay. It may be wise for future guests to inquire about professional management of the pool and water testing.

Perfect Christmas

We got lucky with the weather and had a snowy Christmas! It snowed on Christmas Eve, we had the Christmas tree and a toasty fire and our family at this wonderful property! Plentiful room for us and lots of activities for our children, games room, indoor pool, outdoor hot tub and lots of tv’s in every room. The kitchen is well equipped and the gas oven is very similar to mine at home and this all felt home from home. We didn’t stay at the property for time outside and exploring as this was our Christmas getaway, plus it was snowy and cold and very warm and fun to stay in. Also we were excited to see the Deer family visit outside the window. This was a very special memory for us all and one we won’t forget. Superb.

Cannot oversell this enough!

The photos don't do this property justice. The grounds are gorgeous and well maintained, we saw lots of deer and turkey along with a few native birds. The pool was clean and maintained, as well as the hot tub. Everything you could possibly need and then some in the kitchen. Cell service was spotty, so the extended wifi was really nice. Owner was very communicative and easy to reach - literally 0 complaints!

Quiet side

This home is huge and quite beautiful. It only has 3 bedrooms, which was perfect for our family. We didn't use the indoor pool but it was bigger than anticipated. We did use the hot tub and it was great after a full day of hiking. It did have a bit of a mildew smell but it didn't deter us. The firepit was great for smores. We bought firewood but there was some left there from former renters, too. Full court outdoor bball court for shooting a few hoops while waiting on the family. It is a bit if a drive into Bar Harbor but we got used to it.

Arcadia Vacation

Loved the house, pool & hot tub. My family thoroughly enjoyed our vacation. This home was wonderful, kitchen was fully stocked with everything for cooking. Pool was enjoyed by all. Property was large & isolated from neighbors which allowed us to have nightly fires, watching the stars & the kids loved having smores by the fire. The stars at night were unbelievable The only downfall was the amount of traveling needed to get to our planned daily activities but would not change it.
