Had a wonderful time here. A nice little place still on the island while not having to be in the thick of the tourist crowds. Quiet and relaxing after a day of Acadia and Bar Harbor activities.

It was in a good location surrounded by woods. Completely updated throughout. Nancy was very nice to work with. We had a blinking kitchen light. She immediately went to purchase new bulbs that took care of the problem. There was cleaning supplies and washer detergent. We were very happy.

Great place: updated, clean, well-stocked. There is another unit attached but neighbors were quiet and we found it an incredibly peaceful setting. An easy 30-minute drive to all our hikes and bike rides in Acadia over 3 days. Everything was smooth. Had one question after arrival and received return message immediately. Just make sure you have your entry code before pulling up as we did not have internet until getting on the Wifi.
