Perfect House In a Great Location

The house was perfect for our group of 4. Clean with comfortable beds. We arrived at the tail end of a heat wave and the window AC units worked great. The house was overflowing with New England charm and tons of cool decorations/antiques. Highly recommend- off the beaten track but still plenty to do nearby.

Beautiful House and Location!

The house was beautiful and extremely well stocked. Everything you could ask for from extra towels to flour to a lg lobster pot was available. The location to Acadia was excellent, especially Winter Harbor and Schoodic Point. Rachel was fantastic to work with, all communication was prompt and friendly, and the info on the area given ahead of time as well as available in the house binder was much appreciated. I’d certainly recommend this house to those looking for a nice, quiet, clean, homey, well located rental.

O’Dwyer outings

The house was nice. A large kitchen and everything you needed for cooking was there. The living space was good and the beds are comfortable. We appreciated the air conditioning as there were lots of mosquitoes outside. Thankfully we did not need to open the windows. The yard was beautiful! The wood fire pit and the gas fire pit are great! We had a nice time.

Perfection in Maine

We traveled with our 3 teenagers, my parents, my brothe, his wife and 3 kids. As soon as the door opened I heard so many Oooooo's and Ahhhhh's! Everyone in our group was so impressed with the beautifully decorated home. This home also has a fully stocked kitchen! It made lobster night at the house so easy. This was a first time for the kids to experience lobster and they all loved it. The drive to Acadia National Park is about an hour which was not bad and is actually a beautiful drive. Bar Harbor has so many cute gift shops! We supported almost all of them. I love everything about this home and would highly recommend it to anyone! The owners are very accessible and quick to respond to emails or text. My favorite part was the beautiful display of Robert Stanley's firefighter uniform and helmet. He must have been an amazing man! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home!

Experienced such a cozy, comfortable stay in this wonderful home! Plenty of room to spread out or to get together with friends/loved ones inside and out. It is truly a family home, and the hosts thought of everything to make your stay a comfortable one. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cozy stay away from the crowds but close enough to where you want to be.

Wonderful Gem of a house

Rachel was simply awesome to work with. Very helpful and quick to respond. We had no issues with the house. Nice yard and firepit out back. Awesome touch, the house is stocked with everything you need for a lobster boil, check out Chipman Wharf right down the road to grab fresh lobster at fraction of the price of Bar Harbor. Wineries and breweries nearby. 100% recommend this great home.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Ellis

Host profile image
This property has been in our family since 1980. My parents bought the property when my sibling's and I were little. My father remained in the house until his passing in 2018. This was our childhood home and my twin brother and I could not bare to let it go. Therefore, we decided to renovate it to preserve it as a family vacation home but to also allow others who desire to spend time in this heritage rich downeast community the opportunity to enjoy what we love about this place. It is our hope that our family home will be able to support itself through your rental and enjoyment. If you mention Robert (Bob) Stanley, you will surely meet many locals who know what an amazing person my father was and is.
