missing some essentials
The house was cool. Nice setting on the water. It was surface cleaned but had a lot of cob webs and dust and hair on tables and fans. I have pictures if owner wants them. Kitchen was missing towels and hot pads, missing grill essentials. Also no extra pillows or blankets. Just a lot of little things not up top par.

Peaceful and relaxing bliss
Very quiet and perfect place to recharge. Home is very well stocked. Communication was great. Checking in and out a breeze. We spent time in Bar Habor, and Acadia National Park. Beautiful place. Shopping and restaurants were only a short drive. If we decide to visit the area again this would be our frist call.

Wonderful waterfront home
We enjoyed the home and water front, the fire pit and many deer sitings on the property. Private and convenient to Bar Harbor and Acadia.

Relaxing, rustic vacation
The property was beautiful and the house was cozy. There was a problem with the plumbing and we had to be moved abruptly off the property but the property manager was very responsive and helpful. We wished there were more towels or that the washer/dryer was operable as noted in the listing, but overall everything felt clean and comfortable.

Clean and comfy house in a lovely setting
The house was perfectly set up for our family with plenty of shared space for playing games and also separate spaces for quiet reading. The view of the tidal river was beautiful. Bring your binoculars! A bald eagle landed in a tree along the river on the property while we were sitting at the picnic table.

The house was beautiful inside and out. Tastefully decorated with plenty of room for our family of six. The outside was on the water, serene and vey private. Perfect location to visit Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Winter Harbor and other attractions. We would definitely stay here again!!
