We had a wonderful stay at the farmhouse! The location was very convenient for all of our activities and served and a perfect base to explore all the area has to offer. We loved the full kitchen so we could cook instead of going out each night. We would certainly stay again if we travel back to the area.

Nice little home. Clean and excellent location. Thoughtfully supplied with enough kitchen stuff and condiments etc. The lack of AC coupled with proximity to the busy street was a little surprising for the price. But it served our needs After all day hiking one falls asleep regardless of noise. Enjoyed it. The back porch at night is amazing for watching stars. Thank you for the hospitality.

Nice house traffic noise is as listed. Probably hot in July and August as no a/c but fine for June. No place to hang up clothes but lots of cabinets.

Great place to stay near Acadia. No AC is the main downfall if you’re staying when it’s hot out. The road is loud with the windows open.

Charming farmhouse, perfect for two people! Everything was very clean, well stocked kitchen, and Kimberly was very responsive. The location was perfect for accessing Acadia, with a carriage road entrance around a mile and a half away. Nice back deck with a grill and a private back yard.

Such a cute house with great character. Extremely close to all activities/places in Acadia. The house was very clean and the host was very nice, even leaving us a bottle of wine and snacks/drinks in the fridge! The house does get a little warm in hot weather with no AC, but plenty of fans are provided that make up for it.

Yes, there is a fairly busy road. BUT this charming home is conveniently located to Acadia NP, Bar Harbor and many other wonderful places to visit. You can get to a trailhead for hiking and cycling on the “quiet side” of 10 minutes up the road. Kimberly leaves many thoughtful details that make the home a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.

The farmhouse was a lovely place to stay while exploring Acadia National Park! The house was extremely clean, had all of the supplies we needed, was very well-maintained, and was located very close to the park and all of the local towns. We loved the property - the backyard is nice and offers a great view of the stars at night, and the house is very comfortable. Kimberly is an amazing host, and she was very responsive throughout the trip. The wine, snacks, and drinks at check-in was such a thoughtful gesture and we greatly appreciated it. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we would love to visit again in the future!

It’s a lovely small house, at the right price. The host was a great communicator, and really thoughtful with a fridge stocked with welcome plates of fruit, cheese and crackers, and wine beer, and seltzers. So appreciated after a long trip. The house is attractive and neat. My only two dings are the noise from the highway (the house is very close to the busy road), and when it’s hot out, the house really heats up and the only relief is fans.

What great place! So roomy and well equipped. It was nice to be near the national park.Host was amazing and everything was well labeled and easy to use. Great places to eat no too far away. We especially liked the Bar Harbor lobster pound. Lover having coffee in the morning on the back deck and listening to the birds.Would love to come back and stay again.

The property was very clean and close to all the major areas of Mt Dessert. The only problem is the road noise. Maybe if the bedroom was on the second level of the house and not at street level.
