About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Sunny , cozy 1-bedroom, wooded, private, central Island location, close to ocean

One bedroom with queen-sized bed, living room, one small bath with tub and shower. There is a small refrigerator & Keurig; no kitchen. Free wi-fi, but no television. A wi-fi "extender" has resolved the wi-fi problems some commenters have written about. There is a large couch which a toddler or a very young child would be comfortable sleeping on, but it is not a fold-out bed. This unit is above our garage with separate entrance via an outside staircase, please see pictures. If anyone has mobility issues, this is not the place for you! Includes access (up two steps) to a screened in balcony.

We are located in the Town Hill area. BH downtown is a 15-20 minute drive from here, using the charmingly and accurately named "Crooked Road." NE and SW Harbors and Ellsworth, are also each about a 15-minute drive away. It is an easy 10-minute walk to Maine Coast Heritage Trust's "Blue Horizons" Reserve to reach the ocean, and the Blagdon Nature Reserve is a 5-minute drive.

Fantastic location for my spring getaway
I was very pleased with this vacation rental. The location is great. It is tucked away in the woodlands, but it is only a short drive away from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. It is cozy and comfortable, especially after a long day of hiking in the surrounding area. I enjoyed sitting outside and soaking up the late afternoon sun on the outdoor patio. The owners are very friendly and easy to contact. As advertised, there are no cooking amenities, but there are plenty of great eating establishments close by to explore. I highly recommend this place.

My stay in Maine on Mount Desert Island
Overall the property was very good. Convenient location, good resources to local area. The property is park-like and in the woods. Very private. Responses to issues were prompt. Imperfections: minor, minor (and we would still go back to this location: small toilet in a small space, the one couch is a pull out bed we didn't use so as a place to recline, not the most comfortable on the planet). BUT AGAIN, we would stay there again!

Cozy Getaway
We loved our stay in this cozy apartment! It was a quiet, beautiful location and very close to Acadia which is why we were visiting. Communication was excellent with the host. The room was clean and comfortable, and we felt well rested. We would stay again and recommend it to anyone!

A quiet oasis
We loved staying upstairs and bird watching in the backyard of this lovely property. The tip sheet came with us as we explored Acadia and Mount Desert Island and restaurant recommendations were perfect. Eat before arriving if you are going to be after 6:30. My sister did have to go cold turkey without TV or radio. A clock radio would help get current weather as wi-fi was spotty when rainy. We’d love to come back and explore more. Thanks for hosting us.

Quiet and Cost
The unit is very comfortable. The hosts were very good with communication throughout our stay. The check in and check instructions are very clear and simple which we like. The unit is near enough to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park so it was convenient. Overall, I would say it was really pleasant and we could not be happier.

Nice and quiet place
Barbara and David were a really great host. The unit was super clean and we already had water, coffee, and tea upon arrival. They provided the instructions on tours and were very responsive. The place was quiet and very peaceful. We really had a nice stay and would recommend their place. The room for improvement would be including a microwave or a stove and a sink inside the unit to make it more practical to prepare food, etc.

Excellent property in an excellent location. Communication was prompt and accommodating. Upon arrival, there was an abundance of information about the area that helped us explore. Room was comfortable and clean. The only suggestion would be for access to a microwave to heat up leftovers. Would return for a second visit and would definitely recommend for others.

Our family of 3 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy and welcoming space. Barbara was very attentive and very helpful in letting us know what is going on in the area and things we might want to plan ahead. Great location as well! Our daughter loved walking around their property and visiting the tiny troll houses around the woods - she still talks about them!

Fantastic Stay Near Acadia NP
Barbara and David's place made us feel like we were right at home. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay including a Keurig with a variety of K-Cups, tea for cold and cozy nights, and a clean and comfortable space space. The hosts left great suggestions for things to do in and outside of the park. They're very responsive to any questions we had during our stay. The outside was just as nice as the inside and made us feel like we were in an enchanted fairy tale. We will certainly be staying here again if back in the area.

Privacy
This place is located in the woods out of sight of the street in a rural setting. We enjoyed the quiet and privacy. The apartment itself is located on the second floor with a wide stairway. Inside is an open layout with simple yet ample furnishings for one or 2. Nice large selection of books if you like reading.
