Visiting and hiking Acadia national Park

We were not aware of the drive into the property at night. That was a little. Concerning, But by morning, we were much more comfortable about where we were. When we drove into the driveway the first evening, there was a very large deer sitting in the yard and that’s what we drove into. Funny but also scary. It is a beautiful home and decorated very nicely and the rooms worked out great for my friend and I. Very well stocked with all you need for your stay.

Nice Seawall location

The house is about 20 minutes from the busy Bar Harbor and tucked nicely in the woods. Deer and turkey daily visitors. House very comfortable and had all the necessary amenities. Amy alerted us immediately of electric outage and kept us updated. Overall a very nice house for us.

Relaxing stay

Stepping Stones was a wonderful home very well equipped with everything you would need for your stay. Home was very clean. Location was not far out of SWH. Nice front porch to sit out in the late afternoon and fire pit was convenient. Lovely yard with deer walking by. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice space

Property has plenty of living space and nice decor. Beds are really comfy. I thought it was going to be on more of a neighborhood street but was really at the end of a narrow road through the woods. Lots of deer. Pretty cool location and easy to get around. Cell service in all of MDL is sketchy. Not related to this property only— it’s weak everywhere. Wifi was good tho!

Quiet Retreat

Would stay here again. The kitchen was the best supplied for cooking of any VRBO we have stayed in. We spent our days hiking and being active. This was a great place to relax in the evening in a quiet neighborhood away from the crowds. We had one small issue that was handled promptly and with courtesy.

We loved this house

We booked this house for the summer vacation and we loved it. It is close to everything but far enough away to be nice and quiet. We didn't do much cooking, but the house was furnished with all of the stuff needed to cook if you want to. We sat out by the fire pit every night. I picture of the living room doesn't really show how room it is. We were pleasantly surprised at how much room there was.

Cute little cabin in the woods

The property is just as described by the listing with all the necessities (pack your own bathroom essentials such as shower gel/shampoo though) and comfort. The location is about 30 minutes drive to Bar Harbor, the island’s commercial center, however the local town (Southwest Harbor) is very quaint, and has great restaurants and bakeries. The Common Good Soup Kitchen serves very good popover on the mornings of Friday - Sunday! Charlotte’s Legendary Lobster is just couple of minutes drive away from the cottage, and has very good lobster dishes. All in all, we had a wonderful time in Acadia National Park, and this house certainly contributed to the experience.

The Perfect Stay

This was my in-laws’ first trip to Maine and we wanted the experience to be as cozy and enjoyable as possible. This beautiful home was the perfect place for us to stay. The kitchen is huge and well-stocked with all the tools we needed to prepare several meals during our stay. The beds are comfortable and having two bathrooms was a huge time saver. Oh, and laundry! That was great. We were all able to pack a little less since we knew we could do a load. The living room is very welcoming and we enjoyed eating our meals at the dining table. At night, the fire pit was peaceful with the accompanying trickle from the frog pond to help us wind down from a busy day of exploring. The location down the street from the Seawall is perfect. My husband and I enjoyed running along it each morning, and one evening we took a sunset stroll with my in-laws as well. It was gorgeous. The proximity to Bar Harbor is great. It’s not too close that you’re in the busy mix but close enough that it’s truly just a short drive. And the drive is so nice: lots of handy little shops along the way as well as scenic. Our dog also loved playing fetch out in the yard. It was the perfect stay and we’ll definitely be booking again. I’d love to bring my parents next!

Lovely home on MDI

Our first trip to the Acadia National Park area in Maine was even better due to the incredible home we booked. The location was perfect, the house had everything we needed for our week. The house is tucked in to a wonderful wooded neighborhood, close to Seawall beach and the magic of nature. After long days of hiking it was so nice to come back our home and relax outside at the fire pit and watch the deer, red squirrels, and incredible numbers of birds come and go. We definitely will stay here again! Thanks Amy, your home exceeded our expectations.

Cutest place ever!

The interior design was absolutely adorable. The outside space was well used and well loved by us! Lots of deer also lots of neighborhood cats lol Amy was amazing to work with. There were three or four discrepancies between the vrbo listing and the binder but nothing at all that was an unreasonable request. Very very simple check out instructions. absolutely loved it. Only mentioning it so you are not surprised! Highly recommend!

Best VRBO yet

This house has everything we needed and then some. The home is super clean, the furniture is very comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. It has plenty of nice dishes and pots and pans, a dishwasher, a washer & dryer, tv’s in every bedroom as well as the living room, a garage, nice outdoor furniture and a fire pit. We felt at home here and would definitely stay again.
