The Perfect Maine Stay

This was the perfect place to stay! Great location for everything to see on Mount Desert Island, and close to Acadia National Park! Nestled in the quiet woods, the owner takes great care of the home. It was a very clean and well-kept space, larger than we anticipated! Would absolutely stay here for our next visit to Maine!!

Lovely retreat on the quiet side of Mt Desert Island]

We stayed here for a visit to Mt Desert Island. The apartment is located away from the crowds, but not a long drive to get anywhere. It had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and it was just what we needed after hiking/sightseeing during the day.

Beautiful Accommodations

Tranquil setting close to all Acadia and Bar Harbor has to offer. Apartment was spacious and clean and very comfortable. Upon arrival, we found that the owner had left fresh flowers from her garden in the unit… a lovely touch.

Quiet Charming Stay for Honeymoon

My wife and I stayed at this location for our honeymoon and we enjoyed it greatly. The property is the downstairs portion of the renters home and they were very helpful throughout the stay. Due to a storm we briefly lost power but the owners were very helpful and considerate during that brief time.

Modern renovated quiet getaway!

We were very pleased with the apartment and all amenities! Beds are super comfortable, entire place is very clean and recently renovated! Would definitely stay again if visiting MDI, location is great also! Rental car recommended but we used the Acadia shuttle mainly, note the shuttle stop is about 2 miles away in Somesville.

A great retreat in the woods

We loved our stay 15 minutes away from the crowds of Bar Harbor. The Host was responsive and prompt to our questions. We would have loved an outdoor grill to be available to us.

great stay in Mt. Desert

this space was great- bigger than what the two of us needed, but it was nice to have extra space! beds were comfortable, bathroom was very nice, everything was extremely clean. it was about 15 minutes to Bar Harbor and, depending on the entrance, about 15 into Acadia. would definitely stay here again. absolutely beautiful landscape too!

A nice getaway!

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary. The location is away from main roads, and very quiet (which we loved!) It is a basement apartment with everything you need. Only 20 minutes from the main shopping area. The host was wonderful! A few things to be aware of: there’s no walkway to the door (you just walk across the grass), and there’s no stove/oven (they have a plug in cook top instead which worked great). We had a great time and would totally rent here again!!

Fantastic stay!

I would recommend this property at anyone! Very quite but very close to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Southwest Harbor, Northwest Harbor and Ellsworth attractions and shopping. Beds were very nice. Had the best sleep in months. The fridge, microwave, sink, bathroom were all top of the line! Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did! Thank you, Kara

Visit to Acadia National Park

This rental was a pleasant surprise. It is clean and modern and well stocked with all the amenities you could ever need. The host has done a terrific job. The weather did not cooperate with lots of rain anf fog so it helped to come back each day to this little cottage nestled in the woods.

Tucked away in quiet woods only 15 min away from Bar Harbor. Large space, beautifully designed and cared for. Everything worked well. Kitchen well equipped with quality stuff. Washer and dryer clean and functioning properly. Surrounded beautiful landscaping and gardens. Would definitely stay here again.

Super cute apartment

This apartment was just what we needed. The location was perfect. It was really quiet and we were only 15 to 30 minutes away from all of the trails we wanted to hike in Acadia National Park. The apartment was clean and nicely furnished. There were even some pods for the Keurig coffee maker. The owners were very nice and provided some suggestions for restaurants and other activities. We would definitely stay here again!

Quiet property in the woods

The location was perfect for our day trips into Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor and the rest of Mt. Desert Island.The apartment was very clean and comfortable, a nice place to come back to after hiking and exploring all day. The provided cooler was a bonus find. Little things like this are very thoughtful. Kara was easy to communicate with and very prompt to respond to messages. We would definitely stay here again!

The perfect stay!

We could not have been happier with our stay! The apartment is SO clean and cozy. You can tell there was a lot of thought out into every detail. She had everything to make our stay very convenient. The washer and dry came in very handy, too. Whenever we had a question, Kara responded very quickly. Her and her husband are so kind. I searched for days looking for a stay, but for the quality and price- this was the best for sure!

Perfect for our family

Perfect sport for our family to stay for our first visit to Acadia. We hiked all day and were grateful for a clean, comfortable, quiet place to rest at night. Location was perfect: we were glad to be on Mount Desert Island so we were close to all the hikes and sights, and we purposefully stayed away from Bar Harbor to avoid the crowds (but we were early enough in June that it wasn't too busy.) Kara responded quickly to our grocery store question ~ a quick trip to Bar Harbor for groceries meant we could cook breakfasts and suppers here and pack lunches and trail snacks for our fun filled days. A fabulous vacation!
