Spacious older home with spectacular views. The area is very quiet and relatively secluded. This is a quiet getaway near the less populated part of Acadia Park. The home was cute, homey, clean and comfortable. It had every amenity we needed for a nice place to stay near Acadia. We had no issues with the water and appreciated the "heads up" in the description. We spaced out showers, laundry, and dishwashing, so no problem. The view from the kitchen and den are accurate in the listing, absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

Myself and my family stayed at this property for a week. Had a few bumps when we first got there but the property manager was absolutely amazing. Responded immediately and got everything straightened out. The property is beautiful whether you are outside or looking out from inside. Was further than I thought from Acadia but we managed. No issues with the hot water and there were 6 of us. We had fun filled days and very peaceful relaxing evenings. Wonderful rental.

This house was exactly as described in the listing. Beautiful property! We enjoyed the area and it was easy to get to the local parks and businesses. The property provided linens, towels and kitchenware. We had no problem with the water pressure during our visit. The property managers were prompt in responding to our questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Our family stayed here for 4 nights. Absolutely beautiful, peaceful and quiet. It was the most relaxing part of our vacation. We listened to the waves, looked for shells and saw different birds. It was wonderful and all 7 of us enjoyed it. It was nice to come back and relax after hiking and sight seeing during the day. Thankful we found this spot!!

We enjoyed our stay at the Blue Flower. The house is clean and comfortable with a beautiful view of the water. We liked the proximity to Acadia (Schoodic) which we visited on multiple occasions. The listing did not indicate which portion of Acadia was 4 miles away which was somewhat misleading. We did travel the hour it takes to visit the Bar Harbor portion of Acadia/Cadillac Mountain. While it was worth the drive it was so crowded that we decided we preferred the quieter Schoodic park. One area that could be improved upon: the garbage and recycling bins were full when we arrived.We would have brought them to the curb if we'd been made aware of pick up day but there was no Welcome/Important info note that some properties provide for guests. That was a small drawback.All in all we would recommend the Blue Flower for a relaxing vacation spot.

My son and I signed up to run the YMCA MDI 10K and we were looking for a place to stay in the vicinity. Well, we totally lucked out in our choice with this property. As other reviews state it is about an hour from Bar Harbor, but ideally located for visiting Schoodic. The restaurants in nearby Winter Harbor were fantastic. The Seafood Platter at Chase’s was the best I’ve had since Capt Newicks. Some of the reviews were negative but if peace and quiet and a clean comfortable atmosphere with a priceless view make you happy then you will be in heaven here. As noted, if anyone has mobility issues, the main staircase may be a challenge, but my Aunt who is 78 and uses a cane was able to climb them easily enough. Comfortable beds and the sitting room is delightful. My wife really loved the place. Internet was exceptional, two of our family members had to work remote during our stay and had no problems. Password and name are on the Spectrum Router, not the one in the welcome email. Only confusion in the whole stay. Will visit again!
