Perfect to explore Down East Maine!

My wife and I and 2 hounds spent 2 wonderful weeks at this property. It was so clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. New appliances and very well stocked kitchen. Great communication when needed. We would recommend to 2 couples or small families looking for a central location to explore, Acadia, Ellsworth, Schoodic Point, Petit Menan, Machias, Milbridge, and beyond. R and J Butcher

Weekend in Maine

This house is the perfect fit for those who are looking for the comfort of a home that you will not spend a lot of time at. Yet it is perfect for those who would spend a lot of time there. Easy drive to Acadia National Park. Tidal Falls is right down the road. There wasn't anything that the owner did not think of. Plenty of Towels, hand towels, and wash clothes. They provided all the essentials for our length of stay. It should be noted that the coffee maker is a Keurig. Upon our arrival there was a handwritten note to us with a jar of Blueberry Jam and a Dog bone for our boy. The only suggestion that we have is to provide a stick vacuum to run on the floor for those who are coming with pets. Thank you for a great weekend stay.

Our favorite place to stay

This is our 2nd year renting with the owner, we love the house and location. The house is so clean and stocked with enough towels, kitchen necessities, and other things you might need while staying. They even have a grill, outdoor fire pit, outdoor lounge chairs and a patio table. With 2 cottages on the property they are far enough away from each other for privacy and sit back far enough from the road.

Lobster Chairs

Charming house that seems like it was just recently built. Nice layout, well stocked kitchen, great outside seating, good quiet location. It's difficult to think of any negative to this house. I suppose the only suggestions I have are flip the bathroom door latch bolt so the door closes properly. Also, there are many fine, affordable toilet papers that are septic tank friendly.

Great VRBO experience

The house we stayed at was in a wonderful location. Only about 30 minutes from Schoodic Point and 40 from Bar Harbor and the other side of Acadia. It had all amenities and the host definitely had a mind for details. She thought of everything. Great spot out back to sit by the fire and make s’mores. This was the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. If you want a higher end experience for not a lot of money, stay here. We also had the opportunity meet the host/owner and she was very pleasant. Great vacation!!

July, 2024 stay

The house was extraordinarily clean and comfortable. It was very quiet at night. The location is great for exploring Schoodic area. Driving times to other areas of Acadia and to Bar Harbor are quite reasonable. I would definitely recommend this property for a small (3-4) group.

Perfect!

For our 1st trip to Maine, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The property owners were so friendly and helpful. We got lost getting there and Tiffany immediately called to help. We've stayed in a lot of places on Vrbo and this has been the cleanest and most like home! If you are traveling with a pet, there is a big backyard with a wooded area. We really enjoyed the patio while our dog explored. The owners have thought of everything when it comes to the comforts of home. Since our dog goes everywhere with us, we usually take our own cleaning supplies. They already had pretty much everything we needed right there. I was so disappointed that we forgot our Phase 10 cards. One night I happened to be looking for a dish towel and opened a drawer full of games. Phase 10 included!! The location of the house was also perfect for us. We went to Bar Harbor a good bit (about 30 to 40 min drive) but we also spent a lot of time in Ellsworth and beyond. You must take advantage of the little shops! I am a big antique shop fan and the area did not disappoint. All of the shop owners were super friendly and full of advice on places to see or things to do. Lastly, the food in the area is amazing. There may not be any chain restaurants that you are familiar with but that's part of the charm. The roadside to go food stands had great lobster rolls. If you book here, you will not be disappointed!

Perfect location not far from Acadia

This location was perfect for my family in one house and my parents in the other house on the property. We enjoyed meeting in the evenings for fun around the fire pit (firewood and fire-starter paper included). The house was clean, spacious, and about 30-40 min to Acadia. It was about a 10 min drive to Ellsworth for shopping and dining. Do not forget to bring your own toiletries (shampoo, conditioner) and coffee capsules, since these are not provided.

Great Maine House

A wonderful stay in a beautiful large 2 bedroom house. The house is new, very clean with up to date appliances. Really enjoyed the washer/dryer. The beds and living room furniture were very comfortable. The only bathroom is very large. Has extra counter space and extra mirrors. The house is centrally located to many of the Maine want to do areas. The house is set back off of Coastal hwy 1 in a wooded area. So nice and quiet. Tiffany was quick to respond with any questions that I had re: restaurants and attractions. She also gifted us with Maine blueberry jam! So thoughtful. My husband and I definitely recommend a stay at Tiffany's home.

Acadia/Bar Harbor Getaway

This house is in a great central location to Bar Harbor, Schoodic, and Acadia. Many amenities nearby for supplies or whatever you might need. The house itself is great. It is well-maintained and clean. It has everything you need. The yard is private and well-maintained also. You can’t beat sitting by the fire pit and relaxing after a day of hiking. I appreciate being able to bring my dogs along. Owners are available if needed. This is our third year staying here and we will be back next year. It offers exactly what we need.

It was our first time in Maine and I couldn't have picked a better place to stay. We enjoyed Acadia National Park with many hiking trips. Its beautiful country. We hope to visit again soon.

Ideal location

Our first family trip to Maine was beyond what we anticipated. The house was immaculate, check in was seamless, and it was well appointed. Everything we needed including firewood was provided. We toured everything we wanted and more. The less frequented parts of Acadia such as Winter Harbor and the Schoodic Penninsula are less than 10 minutes away. Tidal Falls is right across the street. Bar Harbor is a 20-30 minute drive but well worth it while your driving by amazing scenery.

Maine Retreat

This was a wonderful place to stay for all things Acadia. It was tucked away from the hustle, but so easy to get to! We loved sitting around the fire and gazing at the stars. We could see the Milky Way and lots of shooting stars! We felt so welcomed and we’re so well taken care of. The house has every little thing we needed for our trip including a cooler for us to pack lunches in. It was right in between both parts of Acadia and close to lots of great restaurants too. We loved it!

The most organized and clean VRBO

The host was fantastic by providing timely emails with all of the necessary information. The place was immaculate! The cleanest I have ever seen. We were profoundly impressed with the notebook with all household/appliance instructions. The basket with various restaurant/tour information was helpful. The bed was very comfortable. Shower was great. The bathroom provides a mirror on the wall behind the door so 2 people can get ready simultaneously. The towels were fluffy. Unfortunately, after COVID, no one offers spices, leftover condiments, etc. You have to get all of it new. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Sitting/eating on the patio was great.
