NASTY!
To start, we missed the house because the exterior did not match the pictures. When we walked up the stairs and were greeted by a rusty razor blade on the handrail. We then went to enter the code that was sent, and it was not correct! We had to go back to town (remember, there’s no service) and had to call the VRBO hotline to finally get a code that worked.
The pictures did not match at all!. There was a layer of dust caking the top of furniture, and I walked into a spiderweb that had been in the doors (this does not include the multitude of other cobwebs throughout the house). We killed many spiders, one of which was in our sheets!The couches have covers with many stains and various hairs on them.
The utensils, pots and pans are all gross. The fridge drawers are held together with tape, there’s one measly ice cube tray with specs of dirt in it. There was also a table cloth on the kitchen table that had stains on it. When we peeled it back, it revealed a table with stains all over it. One of the chairs had what appeared to be a melted jolly rancher on it that wouldn’t come up.
I wish I had brought shower shoes due to how gross the downstairs shower made me feel. The whole house got super hot due to the lack of AC. They provide portable fans, but the the blades in them are broken and rattled all night.
When checking out, we removed our sheets to make it easier to wash. We saw stains on pillows, decades old mattresses, and another spider! Will never stay again!

House comfortable and clean. Furniture a bit tired, and bedroom wardrobes contained odd bits and pieces. Location close to trails was great.

The location of this house was very convenient to Acadia National Park. It was a nice older house with some updates. It was not very well stocked for our visit. There was no detergent for the dishwasher, no extra trash bags for the kitchen, and very little toilet paper. Overall it was a good stay.

The location was perfect. The inside was amazingly clean and had everything we needed.

I am confused by the online comments. The location was great and the wifi was strong but this was not at all as described. Although it had been cleaned; grime from years of use, brown slipcovers, oversupply of mismatched furniture in every room and vegetation overgrowth made this house dark and dingy.

The rental was in a quiet location away from the crowds in bar harbor. Pretty basic furnishings. Living room was comfortable. Kitchen was fine except no corkscrew and no paper towels? Mattresses could use updating. Wi-fi was good. Overall, good place to spread out.

Where to even start?? The pictures you see are completely misleading. The furniture is old and beat up and the decor is just weird. Notice how they don’t even show the second shower? That’s because it’s disgusting. Mold growing in the baseboards and walls around it and gross old peeling fish decals on the floor. My family all refused to use it. The carpet is stained, all the floors really need to be replaced. The house is very dark as well. The beds are hard, you can actually feel the springs and the pillows are flat. One of the worst parts was the smell of the whole house. It needs a lot of updating. The landscaping needs help too although this part didn’t necessarily affect our stay. The only pros are that it has a nice, newer gas grill, fast Wi-Fi, and a decent sized TV that has a good picture. It is also very close to Jordan Pond and the South Cadillac trail, but a good 15-20 minute drive to bar harbor. We were very disappointed about how much we paid and how mislead we were. I would advise that you keep looking! Please note that I rarely, if ever, leave negative reviews so that should tell you something!

Overall a great experience. Be aware it does not have AC which is on the review. Very clean place. It is a little hard to get a hold of the property manager, due to no cell service in the area.

The pictures have nothing to do with the reality of the place.
The place is very dark almost no sunlight comes in. Also there is no real outside space to spend time.
The dinning room is almost blind and there is a toilet that is right in the axis of the dinning room.
Carpet is stained and unappealing all over the house.
The house is crooked too which is rather comical, good head blood flow when sleeping in some rooms.
The equipment is very basic.

We were 15 minutes from Bar Harbor, 5 minutes from Jordan Pond, a 5 minute walk from Seal Harbor...just a perfect location. The house also has amazing internet speed...my 3 teenage boys put it to the test and were extremely with it on the rainy days.
My only suggestion would be an update to the kitchen items...more silverware, a cheese grater, new spatulas, etc.

The large porch is a great place to relax after a busy day of activities. The location and 4 bedrooms are perfect for our activities and group of eight. Being as close to Wildwood Stables is a priority. Pleasantly, far enough away from over crowded Bar Harbor so you're not dealing with parking and too many people, but close enough to run to the grocery store, pharmacy, etc. We would stay here again.

Great location close to Jordan Pond and carriage roads, short walk to harbor and a good restaurant and shops. Quiet residential area. Large bushes give privacy to porches and fire pit. Furniture was functional and fine. House was clean. Only complaints would be that the porches could have been cleaned better, especially the screened porch, and the yard by the fire pit should be picked up. That said, I would rent it again.

This was a perfect location to escape the Bar Harbor crowds and relax on the porch after a day of hiking and biking. Close enough to access amenities as well as trail heads and carriage roads. The house was spacious for 2 families with kids and the well appointed kitchen allowed us to cook as desired. We hope to return!

Pros:
- Location location location. This house was on a quiet street with a mix of owners and renters. It was super close to the carriage roads and park entrance as well as a nice little beach at Seal Harbor.
- The house was clean. Shampoo, conditioner and bar soap was provided along with plenty of towels.
- Washer & dryer came in handy and laundry detergent was provided
- Wi-fi was very helpful to have and worked well even with 4 devices on it.
Cons:
- The house felt more like a camp when it came to furnishings and the mish mash of kitchenware. If you're dining with more than 4 people, prepare to share steak knives. But you're definitely paying for location. We were fine with it, but wish we'd been more prepared (hence the transparency here).
- Bed sheets were very stiff and scratchy. I took off the top sheet and just used a blanket.
- Blinds in the living room were hard to operate and the ones on the bedroom windows didn't keep out the light. We hung extra comforters over the curtain rods so that we weren't up with the sun every morning.
Overall we were very happy with our accommodations but it wouldn't take much TLC to make improvements for a more comfortable stay.
