Amanda was wonderful to communicate with and we enjoyed her place. For hiking in Acadia, it’s a bit of a drive but there also a few nice things nearby to enjoy. If you plan on cooking, the kitchen is very under supplied but Amanda is happy to supply anything you may need.

Our family had a great stay at Amanda’s VRBO. She and her daughter have done a wonderful job with the remodel and they’ve created a space that’s warm and inviting. During our stay, it was unusually hot for the area (90+). It was great to have the air conditioning. However, as the rooms are on the lower level, stays nice and cool downstairs, regardless of whether the air is on or not. The small sun porch is very warm during the day, but at night, when the window are open with a cross breeze, it’s a fabulous place to relax, read, and stare up at the stars:-) The house was very clean and stocked with everything we needed to make our stay effortless. The location was perfect. It was quiet and peaceful and appears to be in a very safe location. There is a large enough yard for the kids to get out their wiggles and for yard games. It also has a great little outdoor seating area for relaxing and grilling. We loved the proximity of the property to “all the things”—it was far enough away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to Bar Harbor and both areas of Acadia that it didn’t feel like you were driving forever. The Tidal Falls are also very close, and we loved them!!! We visited almost every every evening to check out the sea life along the rocks at low tide—we saw SO many sea stars!!!! Amanda left multiple recommendations for things to do and even helped us find a very nice swimming hole for us all to cool off in. Overall, our stay was excellent and we would stay again in the future. Amanda was very easy to communicate with and the little home was the perfect getaway for our little family.

Perfect for family getaway to Downeast Acadia!! 5 minute walk to amazing Tidal Falls Preserve that has frequent outdoor live music festa. Clean, comfortable, well-appointed, and convenient cottage with A/C and smart TV! Adorable cast iron wood-burning stove for colder seasons. Outdoor grill and living area and plenty of parking and grassy yard area. A+++ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Place was on par and better than expected in some ways. Bonus-Wurlitzer Organ! We had an enjoyable time overall. Beds on the shorter side but still super comfy. Amanda was very accommodating when after a few days of heavy rain an inquiry about a dehumidifier for the lower level was accommodated immediately and did the trick for us. Very enjoyable.

This house is beautifully decorated and so adorable. We loved the glass enclosed patio! Great people to work with

This is a great place close to Bar harbor and Winter harbor. The place is very clean and bright. Theres lot to do in the space, with all the amenities you can think off. Highly recommended.

This is a lovely home in a serene setting. There is plenty of room inside to spend time together or spread out in the delightful sunroom, living area, or bedrooms. The yard is big enough for outdoor games. The patio area is covered, so it’s possible to enjoy the outdoors even on a rainy day. The kitchen is well equipped with most everything you need to cook and have a nice meal at the dinner table. Both bedrooms are very nice and located on the lower (basement) level. If you are two couples traveling together rather than a family with children, you need to be aware that one bedroom is open to the stairway with no wall or door. The occupants of the main bedroom will have to go through the bedroom with two double beds to access their room. We considered this an ideal location with easy access to both main areas of Acadia National Park (Mt. Desert Island and the Schoodic Peninsula). Tidal Falls is SO close! (Two-minute drive or a ten-minute walk.) There is a picnic area at the falls with room for children to play. We enjoyed multiple visits at different tide levels to observe this rare phenomenon. The surrounding beauty, sunroom and Amanda’s many thoughtful touches make this a special place to stay.

This was our first trip to Maine, and we had little context of where we wanted to go or stay. We visited during high season (August), and felt fortunate to find such a nice place to stay. The cottage is indeed recently remodeled/updated. Everything is fresh and new. The owner pays excellent attention to detail as all supplies are available and adequate. The kitchen is equipped with the perfect essentials - including plenty of paper goods since there is no dishwasher. The bedrooms are below. We don't live in an area that has basements, so I believe you would call it the basement. There are windows and natural light in both rooms. The owner provided a great de-humidifier since we were there during high humidity. We aren't big TV watchers, but the Smart TV was a little small,. It has the main streaming apps (HULU, Netflix, Prime...). We couldn't figure out how to add apps, and didn't want to take the time to work through it. The location is great. We walked to Rapid Falls several times. We were intrigued on how the water flows different directions at different times. We drove to Acadia National Park and surrounding areas daily. What a beautiful place! Thank you!
