On the main level, enter to an open Living Room, Dining Room that sits 8-10 comfortably, and Kitchen with granite counters with a window air conditioning unit. There is a separate Laundry Room on this level for your convenience.

Quiet way to stay in Bar Harbor area
We had a very pleasant stay in the house with several other couples. The house was fairly well equipped but could have used some organizing of the kitchen equipment. We would have appreciated some extra towels but were able to use the double set of laundry rooms efficiently. Very pretty setting and not far to get to restaurants and places of interest.

Fantastic!
Spacious, lovely, and comfortable home for large family of 10. Lake across from home is perfect, brought our stand up paddle board and kayak, plus rented more from owner’s outdoor rental store next door. Short drive to any part of the island. Thoroughly enjoyed our Acadian vacation!

Wonderful property next to Long Pond
This property is just as described! It was across the street from the lake and my husband kayaked every day. Matt was available for any questions we had (where to see fireworks, how to get a fishing license, etc...) so I know if there were any issues he would have been there immediately. I would highly recommend!!

We had a good time but
Overall the property is good but could be great. Some comfortable chairs, the couch just doesn’t do it for both comfort and adequate seating. The house was reasonably clean for rental property but the windows and outdoor furniture need a good hosing down. On the plus side the lake is beautiful and everyone enjoyed fishing, canoeing, and paddle boarding

Enjoyed our stay with our children and grandkids. Place wasn’t as clean as other properties we stayed but not terrible. A bit stingy on paper products and had to ask for more a couple of times. All in al met our needs.

Great location for Acadia National Park
Great location! The de humidifiers downstairs were an interesting experience for us Texans, but it was easy enough. Kitchen was great, we enjoyed our stay! We went to Bar Harbor several times, did a whale tour, puffin tour, several hikes. Ate at some great restaurants: traveling lobster was great, Gotts pizza, west side cafe (great blue berry pie), also recommend getting the passes for Cadillac Mountain, sunset more impressive than sun rise but we did both and enjoyed them.

Acadian Gem
Our family thoroughly explored Acadia from this excellent location. Northeast Harbor, Southwest Harbor, Bar Harbor, Schoodic Peninsula, Jordan Pond, Cadillac Mountain, and more are very convenient. Then to come back and enjoy Long Pond each evening with plenty of space for 2 families with small children to play while adults relaxed created great vacation memories. Thanks for the use of your Acadian gem!

Wonderful home
The home was wonderful for a large family. Multiple bedrooms and socializing areas. Lots of room for everyone. Matt, Property Manager, was available to handle a few issues we had. Nothing major but we’re quickly resolved. Acadia is a great place, amazingly beautiful.

Great location
This was a great location for our Acadia vacation. We were very close to Southwest Harbor and enjoyed several restaurants there without the crowds at Bar Harbor. We had great food at Sips, Eat-a-Pita 2, and Drydock Cafe. We were also close to Acadia and enjoyed many hikes. We drive to the Schooodic peninsula be day and enjoyed hiking the Adler/Anvil trail loop. The house was not as clean as we would have liked. I would recommend that the owners change their cleaning service. We brought a tablecloth after another reading another review about the table being sticky, and we are glad we did. Overall, we enjoyed our time here, and the facility was adequate.

Spacious home in great location
This home is very large, and easily fit our whole family. It was very clean and nice, and we enjoyed the location right across from the the pond. It's a good central location on Mount Desert Island too. The owners do live right across the property, which we didn't realize, and several times people came to the door to pick up items they had bought there at a tag sale the weekend before, which was odd, the owners said to let them know if it became a problem. The cleaning list before we left was also longer than we were used to with other properties we have rented, especially for a 10 am departure. This is a great, well maintained home, perfect for a large family or a couple of families together. We really enjoyed our stay.

Family getaway
Very nice spacious and up to date with large comfortable bedrooms, less than a five minute walk from the dock on Long pond with a kayak rental right next door. Our family enjoyed our stay there and would defenitely stay again if they opportunity presented itself. I recomend it to anyone wanting to stay in the area.

Amazing location
An amazing location across the street from and overlooking Long Pond. The number of beds and bedrooms is accurately described and accommodated our extended family of nine. National Park Canoe & Kayak Rental is next door and it is easy to book canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards with them. The property is centrally located: closest to Somerville and closer to Southwest Harbor than Bar Harbor. Access to the hiking trails on Beech Mountain are about 10-15 minutes away and worth seeing if you are looking for an easy hike for the whole family.

What an amazing property! The pictures do not do this place justice. Directly across from Long pond the view was absolutely perfect. The house had the perfect set up and was beyond comfortable.

Great house, great location!
This is a wonderful, spacious home that is as advertised. Clean, comfortable, plenty of room. The location is perfect for exploring any part of MDI. The yard is beautiful with lovely flowers, and the lake view is gorgeous. Definitely make time to rent a canoe or kayak or SUP next door and get out on the lake! There are two enormous living rooms, one on the main floor and one downstairs. There are also two washer/dryer sets. Window AC units are installed for warmer days.

Family Fun Vacation
The size and location of the house is excellent! The house is close to Acadia and Bar Harbor but no crowds by us! We had 12 people aged 12-82 so the large kitchen made mealtime easy and the dining and living room area was great for hanging out and playing games. Since the house has 3 floors and 5 bedrooms( 3 with king size beds) it was also easy to find private time for us all. The beautiful pond with swimming and boat dock is right across the street ready to enjoy. We did make advanced kayak reservations so the kids could go whenever they wanted. Checking in and out was a breeze, we actually lost power one day while cooking dinner and Matt stopped by and let us know about the generator that kicked in so we had lights, fridge and water, he also brought us extra chairs for the table. We saw him throughout the week so if we had any needs or questions they were handled. It was a very rainy month , we actually had 2 full days of rain and the basement was pretty damp so the dehumidifier they had there filled up quite often and there was a bit of a musty smell. Overall we had a Great time in a Great space and hope to come back again!
