We had a great stay! James was very friendly and knowledgable. The best part of the stay was the access to Long Pond and the kayaks, which was our main reason for booking this property. The location can't be beat also! On the quiet side of the island, yet so close to Bar Harbor and Acadia.

We had a great time staying at JF and Sue’s place! Such a serene location and well stocked with maps and guides for our time in Acadia. JF spent some lovely time with us showing around the property, telling us about the area, and teaching us how a lobster trap works! Would absolutely recommend again.

This was my wife and my first Vrbo experience. The hosts were extremely friendly and the apartment was everything we could have wanted.JF and Sue provided us with many suggestions as to what to see on Mt. Desert island and these suggestions became a large part of our itinerary. We will treasure the memories and would strongly recommend booking this apartment.

Fun visit

We were able to enjoy the property, kayaks and explore the area! We enjoyed the location, bedrooms and used the grill. The hosts even got out some age appropriate toys for our kids to enjoy and showed them how to make a bird feeder!

A great spot on the ‘quiet side’ of Mount Desert island.

This was exactly what we were looking for… a place to stay that was close to the big attractions in Acadia, but away from the crowds.
