Had a wonderful stay at this home. Spacious, clean and kitchen was big and had everything we needed and more! Beds were comfortable and the whole house was spacious. The deck was very nice and we saw several stars and the Milky Way from there. House is located in a nice quiet wooded area. Kellie was great, she checked in to be sure we had what we needed and even before we arrived was quick to respond to any questions I had. She had great suggestions to what to see|do in the area. We had 4 adults in our group and would recommend to anyone!

This home is in a great location within short distance from the main Acadia entrance and close to Bar Harbor. The house was perfect for two families to share comfortably and was quiet and beautiful. I was not happy with the amount of constant texts and messages from the host however. When on vacation we like to take it easy and relax, not easy to do with three small children to wrangle. The host was texting me often about getting her maintenence person into the house (two days during our 1 week stay) and I felt pressured that we should leave and get out and about early and often, plus an early morning phone call and text about the garbage going out, which we had already done. Our trip would have been more enjoyable without this disruption, otherwise it was a great place to stay.

Lovely home at the end of a cul-de-sac. Nice big yard where the deer and wild turkey would visit. Room to play frisbee and soccer in the yard. A relaxing hammock too. The layout of the house was great for our group. We had 6 adults and 2 children two years old and younger. Wonderful time to relax with family.

The house was perfect for our family trip to Acacia. It was a great location to Bar Harbor and Acadia, with lots of food options and things to do nearby. Great outdoor space and nice interior.

We really enjoyed this home. It was the perfect setting and size for our reunion of two families and a great base as we explored Acadia NP and Bar Harbor.

So very grateful this home and property was available for our family vacation to Maine. Great location to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The house and property are absolutely beautiful and peaceful; we even had the opportunity to see the biggest buck in the woods surrounding the house! We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets from the deck. Kellie thought of everything a family would need while staying there; the amenities were perfect. Would love the opportunity the next time we visit Maine to be welcomed back to Kellie's peace of heaven!
