Enjoyed our visit
This was a great location for our family. Pros: Accessible to both the town and the entrances to the national park. Spacious house at the base of the mountain. Beds were comfy. Cons: The only shower/tub in the house is dated and could use replacing. The hot water unexpectedly went out our last night there. It was an inconvenience, but not the end of the world. From the property manager's standpoint, it's hard to predict something like that happening. Overall, we enjoyed the stay.

Thank you, Kirk! You were wonderful guests. I'm glad the beds and house were comfortable! You were right about the tub, and we have since refinished it. I am SO sorry about the hot water, it was a flip of a switch to fix. Thanks for being so kind!

Great find!
Nice home conducive to enjoying time with our adult children, very well stocked kitchen, eating nook that nestled into the woods (loved that!), easy access to the park and Bar Harbor. Quiet. Would stay here again!

Spacious house and great location
The house was perfect for our family vacation. It was clean and spacious with everything we needed. The location was great. We were able to get to Bar Harbor and Acadia Park easily and quickly — which is great when you’re with one and three year olds! There is so much to do in this area. The kids had a blast, and we wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks for a great stay!

Fantastic vacation
The house was a great fit for our family trip. It's a quick drive into the village of bar harbor. Also it is right next to Acadia national Park entrance, and so easy to get to and from popular Acadia spots. The house is exactly as described in the property description. Everything wasn't great working order. On the couple of times I had a quick questions for the owners, they responded hopefully, and almost immediately. I would definitely recommend this home.

Quiet spot perfect for family time
Property is close to trails for Dorr, Cadillac, Champlain, and a nice swim at Seal Cove! Easy bike ride to Carriage Trail near The Triad, and a simple 5 minute drive to town. Loved our trip and had a great time!

Perfect home base in Acadia
The best part about this house is definitely its location. We were practically inside Acadia NP and it was so quick and easy to drive everywhere, including beating the crowds to some of the more popular spots, like parking at Sand Beach. Anyone with young kids will appreciate the convenience of being able to zip home for a quick break or forgotten item. Bar Harbor is about 12 minutes away and the perfect distance to get away from the crowds, but super easy to visit for a meal or shopping. The house itself was as-described and very comfortable. The pots/pans/cooking utensils were in excellent shape, which is such a nice surprise for a rental house! Some of the high-touch surfaces (ex: banisters) felt sticky and like they needed a good cleaning, but otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay and would return.

Our family truly enjoyed our stay. The house amenities were perfect. It has great bedrooms and hang out areas. We had cookouts and campfires. Proximity to awesome hikes and Sandy beach was just what we were looking for. Thanks Kyle!

Great home base for discovering Acadia and Bar Harbor
Great location comfortable for the family and close to everything. The living space is open and sunny with lots of windows to bring in the cool Maine breezes. Outdoor fire pit was a nice addition. We had a great stay !

Bar Harbor stay
The check in was pretty simple. The cleaning crew left the keys inside of the house and the door unlocked. It’s not visible from the road, but the mailbox is easy to spot. There’s one shower on the third floor and bedrooms on all three floors. The kitchen is fully equipped. The owner was very responsive.

Great Family Home
This is exactly as listed. Nice, clean home with all necessities. It was a quick drive to downtown Bar Harbor but far away enough to enjoy being in the mountains. Great location and great home to be with a group. The hosts were very responsive to any question. Would recommend!

Acadia Vacation Rental
This is a great property for an extended family stay in Acadia, with three bedrooms and ample living space. The kitchen is well stocked for eating in. The property is centrally located on Otter Creek Drive so there is easy access to Bar Harbor and Acadia trails on both the eastern and western peninsulas. We would definitely book this one again.

This home is spacious and clean. It is in a perfect location near Acadia and a short drive from Bar Harbor yet the location feels quiet and secluded. The house was very spacious, clean and comfortable- a perfect spot for our family getaway!

Perfect Family Place
This lovely house provided the perfect setting for family to gather. It was private, and most importantly, easy access to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park where we spent much of our time. There were multiple age groups and something for everyone to enjoy! Evenings around the fire was a great way to end the days. We hope to return again in the future! The McQuade Family

Lovely spot close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor
The house known as Fins and Feathers is in a lovely location, and is comfortable for small families. The lodging has comfortable beds, plenty of dishes and utensils to feed a group, and is managed by a responsive couple who are lovely to work with. They even let us back into the house one rainy evening after we locked ourselves out! There was room to spread out, and an upstairs bathroom with a shower/bath tub. toilet and sink, as well as a small half bath (sink and toilet) on the main level. Things to consider for improvement: a full roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, and a spare. as well as a full roll of paper towels when you arrive; sharper knives for cooking; copies of maps to nearby hiking trails. There is a lovely creek nearby that you can wade in or even take a dip in one of its pools. It is easy to reach when you know how to find it, and is just minutes away by foot. You are also close to town (short drive) and the entrances to the park. Really well located.

Lovely Stay in Acadia!
Fins & Feathers was a fantastic spot for our family! We had 4 adults and 4 teens and there was plenty of room for us to be very comfortable. Kyle & Catrina were super responsive and made sure to check in with us to see if we had any questions. The location was perfect as it is a short drive to downtown Bar Harbor and the park is easily accessible. We loved finding the swimming hole and spending time at the fire pit. Acadia is such a special place and this property made it even more so!! Thank you, Kyle & Catrina, for a wonderful stay!

Perfect National Park Experience
All the comforts that you would want with the park right in your backyard. The house and location were just what we were looking for. Centrally located to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Super cool special access to our favorite "pool" and a short drive to all the trails we wanted to explore. Kyle was a great host and was available for anything we needed. Our trip was better because we found this place. The kids looked forward to coming back each evening after our adventures to the "Acadia home".

Perfect spot for an active family vacation
This was a spacious and comfortable home in an ideal location right near Otter Cliffs and the ring road. We were ably and responsively hosted by Kyle, who made sure we had everything we needed. Great for families, ample space and storage, great kitchen. Just a wonderful spot and be sure to ask Kyle about special spots that you can walk to easily from the house - not to be missed. We hope to be back here again next year!
