This home was perfect for our stay with our three grown children and a couple of their spouses. The house was well equipped in the kitchen which made it easy to make some meals at home. We loved the location which made it easy to access the carriage roads for biking. We also hiked to the trail around Jordan Pond from the house. Several of us walked multiple times a few blocks to Seal Beach to hang out. It was about 20 mins. to Bar Harbor and stores there. Our kids enjoyed swimming in Echo Lake which was about a 15 min. drive. Edith, the host, responded quickly with any question or request for advice about restaurants or activities. Our family loved the back deck and spent time sitting outside. The dining room table was large enough to accommodate the 7 of us for meals and games. Everyone agreed that this home was perfect for our needs for the week. We highly recommend this home and location.

Great Location

Lots of space in a great location, away from the traffic of Bar Harbor and close to the truly lovely Seal Cove area. Outdoor deck looks over a forest. Easy to get to Park entrance and use their buses. Owner was very helpful. Second bathroom on second floor is quite tiny, but not a problem.

A lovely stay

Perfect for a trip with a group of friends, would definitely stay here again! The house was perfect for our group (3 couples + 2 siblings), great location for any outings across the island, and plenty of space for us to hang out or eat in without feeling on top of each other. Owner was very helpful and friendly

Perfect location - quiet, friendly and close to hiking and biking. Good nearby restaurant and great bike rental/store - but not crowded like Bar Harbor. Edie was very flexible with us and super-fast to answer questions and give great suggestions. House was well-stocked. We are already planning our next visit!

Lovely house close to Acadia

This is a very well kept old house, full of New England charm, well stocked, with very comfortable beds. It's super convenient to Acadia and Bar Harbor without being in the middle of the hubbub. We had a lovely time!

Great Base Camp

We were two families with young children and found the home to be a great fit for us. It was within walking distance to a beach great for exploring and wading and a coffee/ice cream shop. Also - it was a short trip to lots of hiking trails, scenic spots, and the horse carriage rides which we all enjoyed. The house was very well stocked with towels, soap, and supplies you might not expect like a tablecloth for the picnic table on the deck, laundry basket, cooler bags, portable chairs, and family games. Edith our host touched base throughout our stay to ensure things were going well. We would definitely stay there again!

The best of both worlds

The property was on the edge of Acadia where we hiked several trails and visited 3 different beaches and just totally enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine and scenic views. It was only a short walk down to Seal Harbor for the beach and swings for the granddaughters. And Bar Harbor was only 7 miles away for the walking town experience. The best of both worlds!!!!

Perfect spot to explore Arcadia & Bar Habor!

Edie’s place was perfect for our family getaway! Great location - 15 minutes to Acadia hikes (Cadillac & Beehive) and easy stroll (.5 miles) to Seal Harbor beach. Restaurants of Bar Harbor are a short drive which makes this rental a great choice. The house it self is huge and well stocked with everything you need for a group trip. Great value for the stay!

The home is perfect for visiting Acadia National Park. It has plenty of room for the family. The location to the park is great. The area is quiet and has a diner and coffee shop a short walk away. You could also walk to the pick up for the Island explorer if needed. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful spacious home, walking distance to beach

We stayed here for five nights with my parents and our three children. There was plenty of room for everyone. It was comfortable and quiet. We cooked almost every night and the kitchen was well appointed. We enjoyed having dinners out on the back patio and walking to the beach. It was the perfect spot and we’d love to come back.
