We are so happy to hear that your stay was a happy one. It was so great to meet and chat with you. The Island is a magical place to be. Thank you so much for the lovely review. Marilyn & Steve

Hi Cheryl, Glad it was clean. Sorry your only looked out of one window, because the kitchen, bathroom and 2nd bedroom all face into the woods of Acadia national Park. And you forgot to mention the skylight that shows blue skies and stars at night. The other view is our roof, as we live right here so we can make sure everything is clean. The workshop is essential because Bar Harbor is so busy that no one comes to assist if you don't have a team like we have to come in and help. The maintenance men come only one week day and on the turnover day. They drive 1 1/2 hours to get here to work. The mattress on the brand new floor is what we call the loft, and we kept it low so no one would bump their head. It is not listed as a full bedroom. You would probably do better renting a brand new house on your next stay and not a "Carriage House". I have no idea how many people you had staying here. Parking is tight because we are on a hill and built as much parking as we could. We are actually inside Acadia national Park. My book listed you as having three adults. But... thanks for being here, anyway. We appreciate your business...

Glad you found us clean and comfortable. Always tell your landlord about a smell like mothballs when you are there. We live right next door and would have gotten them out of the downstairs storage area. We are in the country and the moth balls keep mice out of the building without us have to hurt them. Don’t recall if you asked me about the stairs, but most folks do ask if they have a senior dog that has trouble walking stairs. We always tell how many stairs if someone asks. I hope the large grassy fenced yard was ok for your dog. I know it wasn’t crowded, as we only have four rentals on our seven acres. Anyway, thanks for letting me know about the moth balls. The floors and rug were brand new this year, so you certainly didn’t have to worry about anyone’s mess in there. Thanks for the review. We have the Summer House with its own dog yard if you decide to return. It is all ground floor. I am on finding those moth balls and making sure they don’t smell anymore.

Thank you, Jennifer, for staying with us, and for the lovely rating.

Hi David... The carpets get a lot of use during the Summer, and even though we vacuum, there is not any time to wash between guests, as we are full, and it would be wet to the folks moving in. We don't want to us any chemical cleaner because we have doggie feet that need to stay safe. So... at the end of the season, they are scrubbed. We are trying our best to keep up with everything. So happy you had a great stay. We do have an amazing location and really love having guests who bring their dogs! Thanks so much for choosing us!

Hi Alexandria. I know your stay was last year, but I want to thank you for the great review and we are really happy you had a good time! Marilyn & Steve Ryan

Glad you enjoyed your stay. The smoke detectors are now wired in. We were in the process of getting the new ones. We only have five hours a week to get any work done, as we are full every week. Thanks for recommending us to all your dog, kid and nature loving friends.

So happy you had a good time!!! Thanks for the lovely review. Have a wonderful rest of the Summer!
