So close yet feels so far away
What a home! Comfortable and cozy and super clean, with everything you need. It’s away from the hubbub of Bar Harbor but only takes 10 minutes to get there or NE area. Wonderful hikes are also so close, and can walk down to seal harbor beach or the cute little block of town.

Convenient and quiet
This is a lovely house in a very convenient location away from the bustle by close to so much. Like others, we hesitate to let the secret out about this right-size home for our group of four adults. The well-equipped house is tucked away in the woods with modern appliances and pretty much everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owners and caretaker were available and responsive when we had a minor issue upon our arrival. We will plan to return for future visits!

True to description and reviews
Hidden House II is true to it’s wonderful description and high reviews. Nature surrounds you. The setting is a quiet haven away from the noise and crowds of Bar Harbor. And yet, the location is convenient to everything and close to Acadia National Park. House is spacious, comfortable, exceptionally clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you’ll need & more. Heat on a chilly morning was easy to regulate. Research on the family history (father served a long term as one of Harvard’s most significant presidents) enriched our stay. Beautiful neighborhood with some steep, narrow roads. Thank you, Rosemary & David, for an amazing 2 weeks. We absolutely loved it; and like other guests, hope to keep it a bit of a secret so we can return. Julie & Paul, Traverse City, MI

Hidden House 2
Hidden House 2 is located in the woods in Seal Harbor, Maine within walking distance of Seal Harbor beach and town and the entrance to Acadia National Park. My wife and I enjoy Hidden House 2 so much that this is our 4rd stay. The house is well equipped and immaculately clean. The owners are very responsive to any questions. Hidden House 2 is a great base for peace and quiet while visiting Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. Staying here you feel you are staying in the park. It is beautiful and highly recommended.

This house is in a wooded area, yet with houses close by. It's very quiet there. Also, it's very dark at night. The house is clean and well stocked. It was very comfortable. This was our third time staying there. We recommend it.

This was a wonderful house. Unfortunately, my wife was having a bad reaction to a covid vaccine and spent a lot of time indoors -- and we couldn't have asked or a nicer place to do so. All rooms were well appointed; kitchen was well stocked; and there were not only good books around but two reading chairs. A beautiful place, light filled, comfortable. We'll be back.

Great location!
A quiet house house on a hill surrounded by woods with an easy walk down to the harbor and ocean. Very close to the entrance to Acadia and hiking trails. The house was clean and had a nice outside patio eating area next to the woods. We couldn't figure out the TV, it had a Amazon Fire stick but no login info, and one of the beds was very soft, but otherwise the house was very nice and convenient. David and Rosemary were a pleasure to rent from. It was a wonderful stay! Thank you!

Hidden Gem
We loved our stay at Hidden House II. We arrived after dark and it was a little hard to find. I definitely recommend arriving during daylight hours! The common area of the house was larger than we expected - very comfortable to gather our extended family who were staying nearby. I really enjoyed walking our dog through the neighborhood - there are lots of hills, beautiful homes and glimpses of Seal Hatbor along the way. The bedrooms were comfortable and all the linens were provided. We showed up with our clothes and food and had everything we needed! The location was ideal - quiet but only 15 minutes to the fun of Bar Harbor and so close the all the amazing Acadia hikes. I even walked down to the beach at Seal Harbor a couple times. During our stay, we kayaked with Maine State Sea Kayak and went on a whale watching boat with Bar Harbor Whale Watch Company. Highly recommend both groups! We also drove up to the Cadillac Mountain Summit - make sure to make a reservation! Thanks for a wonderful vacation Hidden House II!

Relaxing Getaway
Very comfortable house with all the amenities of home. I was glad we had a place to relax away from all of the hubbub of Bar Harbor and Acadia; the park was severely over crowded. The location of the house was ideal, which got us away from all the congestion, and gave us an opportunity to explore other areas and nearby trails. The only downfall of the location was that it was difficult to maneuver with a large vehicle, but we managed just fine once we knew roads.

If you want to be close to everything but avoid the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, stay here. We were 15 minutes from Bar Harbor and 5 minutes from entrance to Acadia. The backyard is a quiet little oasis. The House is a little older, but no issues. It was clean and well kept. Highly recommend!

Great location, very nice space and setting
Dated. Very much needs love and attention. Need new Beds in two secondary rooms. Kitchen and bathrooms just look shabby. Someone should go through the pots, pans, spices, knives etc. and throw out some of the useless stuff that is filling up the cabinets. Fix cabinet doors. Having said all of that, we really enjoyed our week and felt that the place was great for our purposes. With upgrading we would be happy to pay more for the week.
