Treehouse Stay

Daunted at first by the metal spiral staircase to get to our Treehouse nest, the outdoor stairwell became like a portal- a welcome home rite of passage after a day exploring the wonders of the island; a departing spiral handshake saying I’ll be here to welcome you when you return. The Treehouse had everything we needed and more.

MDI Treehouse

My wife and I booked this in the Seawall area of Mount Desert Island for our stay while hiking and sightseeing around Acadia. This home and its location were exactly what we needed to enjoy the National Park and an escape from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. After exploring all day, it was great to return to this quiet side of the island where we were greeted by the island deer! A climb up the spiral staircase would help us wind down. The new deck was a place to rest or stargaze amidst the surrounding tree tops. Inside was very cozy, perfect for us. This home felt very much like our own while we were there! Looking forward to our next trip here.

Anniversary trip

My partner and I have been planning this trip for months! We got engaged during our stay. ☺️Such a cute place and very close to Acadia National Park and all the cute shops/restaurants in Bar Harbor. The lobster pound is walking distance and is amazing. Everyone was so friendly. Take advantage of the private beach!

Location, comfort, cleanliness were optimal in the Treehouse!

Walked to the rocky beach (@ 100 yards). Super comfortable bed. Lobster pound serving seafood and ice cream and pie is 300 yards away. We had to break for deer crossing the driveway. 🙂

Perfect getaway for two!

We had a great weekend at Anne's place! She was prompt at getting back to us with any questions or concerns we had, and she sent an incredible list of recommendations all over the island for our visit! The VRBO had plenty of room for two people. The bathroom and shower were small but Anne provided all the amenities we needed for the long weekend. Everywhere we went from the VRBO was about a 20 minute drive, but it was lovely to be away from the crowds and explore a quieter area of the island.

Acadia

Guess my only real complaint is that We had booked this cabin for three days. We were supply two towels only. The shower was so small, hardy can move in it. The area around the cabin in town/baths or and the Acadia park will worth the trip. If we were to go again we would probably choose to stay else where. We didn’t feel we got what we paid for at 800 for three night.

Great Place

This was a great property and met all of our needs. Loved the quiet location and the beach. The house was well stocked and comfortable. The owners left a TON of information about the area which was very helpful. It is a bit of a drive to Acadia if that is where you are going but we didn't find that a big deal. There is plenty of hiking closer to the property as well. The owners were quick with communication. The check-in and out process was super easy. Do be mindful of the stairs. We walked to Charlotte's Legendary Lobster shack for dinner one night which was fun. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this as a great place to stay.

Great Location!

This spot is a perfect location on the quiet side of the island! We had easy access to everything and it was easy to find. It is great for couples that are exploring outside and need a relaxing space to sleep at night. We did experience some issues with the electricity after the storm that came through because the west side of the island is all connected to a main line. However, both the hosts and the emergency contact were responsive with letting us know about the wait and updates. Something to think about and plan for if you know you are traveling during storm season!

Treehouse

Overall stay was fine. NOt a treehouse, room over the garage. Deck was unsafe. my husband is a contractor, took pictures incase something happened and would not let us spend any time out on the deck. rotting floor boards and had recently placed haphazard boards placed to support whole structure. Recommend that deck be replaced before rented again. Shower so small could not ;pick up soap off floor wthout body going out of shower. LIked they had a lobster pot as we got lobsters right off the boat and cooked them up!! Loved the area, very quiet. Wished we could have shared the laundry in house next door. Overall property manager very supportive, gave great recommendations of things to do and places to eat. Loved Maine!!

Perfect retreat

The property was just as advertised. It was the perfect retreat for my friend and me to start each day of hiking around Acadia. The kitchen is small but well equipped for cooking breakfast and dinner. It's plenty big enough for two to be comfortable. The WiFi worked - we didn't use the TV. The bed was comfortable. The location is near many Acadia points of interest - even the Northeast side is a short drive. We never saw the property in daylight, so it would have been noice to have a motion activated exterior light, but hand-held lights worked fine. I would definitely stay here again.

Acadia Quietside

The apartment - reached by way of a metal spiral staircase- has what you need for a getaway for two and is in an excellent out-of-the-way Mount Desert Island location; about 30 minutes from Bar Harbor and the north-eastern parts of Acadia. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen is compact but worked well. The cons are little things: we prefer a kitchen with a few more tools and options, plus basics like spices, oil, vinegar, etc... The bathroom is a little dated and would benefit from sprucing up, but it worked for us. We would book this unit again without question!
