We had a wonderful six night stay in early October. Three generation family and we all agreed, it was the nicest VRBO stay we have ever had. Great house - great location. The communication with the host prior and during the visit was thorough and helpful. The house is really well laid out with a large common area and a great porch to gather. Great accessibility to Acadia. Cannot recommend highly enough

The property location was very nice. Easy drive to everything on the island but remote at the same time. The sunrises are amazing. Plenty of room and comfortable for 8 people. Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Peter was always available, check in was easy. Driveway is quite steep, I recommend having a 4 wheel dive car if you plan on staying here.

The view off the back porch and the overall charm of the property makes this place special! We saw seals everyday while sitting in the back porch. At night you get a great clear view of the stars! We had everything we could need available to us! With Acadia and bar harbor just a short drive away it makes this house a home run!

Beautiful house and surroundings, great host

The house was a wonderful post and beam design with lots of windows. It has a beautiful view of the ocean and is surrounded by nature. We saw deers and fawns, otters and several bald eagles, one of which would sit in a tree 50 ft from the house. It was easy to get to Bar Harbor and the park as well as local grocery stores and restaurants. All around great place and vacation spot. We were lucky to catch a beautiful sunrise at the house and sunset from Cadillac Mountain and also experience two nice cool foggy hikes. Now back home and 95 degrees we wish we could have stayed longer!

Peaceful and Serene

This is an incredible property in a pristine location. Peter is a 5-star host--absolutely the best. Everything about our stay was perfect. You are near everything on MDI and yet completely secluded. There is really no need to leave the house! The deck is the perfect place to soak in the calm and peacefulness that are abundant just out the back door. The kitchen is terrific for meal prep and we loved having dinner in the screened-in porch. Can't recommend this strongly enough!
