When we arrived we very excited when we saw the house from the outside. When we went I. We found a clean charming and well kept home that we were immediately comfortable with. Everything we needed was provided including WI-FI access and flat screen Televisions in every room. We were Centrally located to Acadia Park and Bar Harbor. We Han a wonderful time and couldn’t be happier with Eden House.

Our family stayed four nights at the Eden House while visiting the Acadia National Park area. The place was clean and very cute and cozy. The location was super convenient! We enjoyed relaxing in the evenings after our busy days. Communication with the host was perfect and we followed through on some of her suggestions and they were great! Our youngest enjoyed the box of toys. Our daughter read a couple books. And our older boys enjoyed watching some movies. Everything was easy here and the house had everything we needed!

We loved our stay! Kathy was so responsive and the house had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, check in was a breeze, and everything was clean. It was also in a great location that made it easy to get to any place we needed, the shuttle stop is close by, and it’s away from the crazy busy Bar Harbor area. We would definitely stay again!

This is such a great secluded property not far from the hustle and bustle of downtown Bar Harbor. You really get the best of both worlds. The hosts had the place well stocked with everything you need in case you had forgotten something. Comfy, cozy, and very affordable for our family.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Everything was as described (or better). You can't beat the location for exploring Acadia and other areas on Mount Desert Island. The kids really loved the setting of the house in the woods with the mossy surroundings. If we are ever in the area again, we would definitely stay here again!

We were very comfortable in the house and found it to be a great location on the quiet side. It was close to everything that we did on the island and to Ellsworth where we did shopping and found restaurants that weren't crowded like the ones in Bar Harbor but had great food. Our favorite adventure was going up to Cadillac Mountain and seeing all the vista and the colorful boulders covered in lichens!

Everything we needed for a long weekend exploring Acadia with a toddler. The owners made everything really easy and comfortable. Laundry, every type of kitchen pot and tool, highchair in dining room, kids books and puzzles, Roku tv...all helped us keep it a happy stay for everyone! Theres a playground, pizza and ice cream right up the street in case Bar Harbor isnt in the cards for tired kiddos.

Wonderful place to spend the long weekend! It has everything you need, and even though it's not a huge space everything is open and does not feel cramped. Kathy is very responsive and easy to communicate with. I loved the special touch of the blueberry pancake breakfast! Just wish I had been traveling with people who eat pancakes. Still, I was happy to have the blueberries for my oatmeal in the mornings. Everything was clean and the space felt very homey. The bathroom has a spacious shower and looks to be pretty newly redone. Bedrooms are comfortable with space for storing duffel bags and hanging a few clothes too. The property is quiet and has a lush moss lawn. Lots of blueberry bushes are all around, and nice rocks and a bench for watching/listening to birds too! Easy to get everywhere without being bogged down in downtown traffic. Nice, quiet area to walk my dog in the mornings too before getting started for the day. Since the property is tucked away, it was especially nice to bring him back here to really relax after a long day of hiking.

This is an exceptionally, well kept and beautiful home. The decor was a mix of new age and colonial. Much Maine history can be found in this home. It is useful to both vacationers and history "buffs". Well stocked with excellent kitchen tools & shining appliances. Great spring water. Only 15 minutes from the excitement of Bar Harbor yet secluded & quiet near "mom & pop" stores and hidden eclectic coffee shops. I rate the Eden House a "10", in every way.

Kathy is a super host, and Eden House is wonderful. Even though I had read the reviews, I was still surprised by all the extras in the house. The location was great for reaching all our trails in ANP and shopping in Ellsworth. We had a couple of rainy days hiking, and it was so nice to return to a comfortable house where we could take a nice shower, cook, and watch TV. I would love to return during the summer to grill and relax on the quiet deck.

Let me add to the long list of 5-star reviews. Communication from Kathy was timely, helpful, and responsive. Everything was clean and set when we arrived, and Kathy informed me to let her know once we got settled in if there was anything else we needed. We spent three full days enjoying Acadia National Park, and the house location was very central as we traveled to several areas of the park - Bar Harbor, Jordan Pond, Cadillac Mountain, Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse, and even Schoodic Pensinsula. Had we stayed in Bar Harbor, our drives to the lighthouse and Schoodic would've been much longer. Plus we had much more seclusion here instead of a place like Bar Harbor. We don't eat at restaurants on our trips (other reviews have highlighted local eateries), but rather we were eating meals at the house every night. The kitchen had everything we needed, and a dishwasher with pods to take care of the dishes each night. We were also able to do laundry while there. We loved our stay, and loved Acadia. God willing we can make a return visit, we will seek out this place again without a second thought!

Kathy was clear and fast in her communication. Her home had everything we needed and more! Clean, quiet location and close to Acadia! So glad we stayed here!

Our young family spent the week at this property and it was perfect for us. The open floor plan was great and the fully stocked kitchen made cooking easy. We hiked and explored each day and was 10-25 minutes from everything. The home is tucked in the woods on a gravel road so it really felt like we were by ourselves. We did s'mores each night at the campfire too. It was so helpful to have access to the washer and dryer with three (2, 5, 7) boys who were filthy at the end of each full day. We can't wait to return.

Eden house was Absolutely perfect for our visit to Mount Desert Island.The home had everything we needed to cook some great meals and it was wonderful to enjoy the beauty that surrounded us at Eden house! Thank you Kathy!

This home was super clean, great location Everything about it was perfect. Kathy was so receptive to every question. We have already planned to come back again. Just love it

Kathy was a great host that kept in touch throughout our stay to ensure we had everything we needed. The home is in a great spot near Mainely Meats BBQ, and is a short drive from the park and downtown Bar Harbor. West Eden Pizza and The Travelin Lobster were great dinner options nearby as well. Our toddler loved all of the books and puzzles in the house and was sad to leave, we hope to visit again soon!

The house is clean, neat & in good repair. Be careful about climbing the stairs to the upper level that is locked to VRBO renters. The ceiling is low in the stairwell. Also, the stairwell to the basement is off the kitchen & initially looked like a pantry to us, & was not well lit. There are 2 different wall light switches and only one illuminates the basement stairs. There is a pellet stove that cannot be used by VRBO renters. There is an outdoor children’s fort. Couldn’t tell if it was safe to use or not.

Very nice property. Wish there was more sun but still a very lovely place

Very well stocked! Close to Trenton, Acadia Park and about 15 to Bar Harbor. A bit dated, but clean and spacious. We enjoyed our time.

Everything about the property was wonderful. There was plenty of kitchen items from spices to casserole dishes with lots of pots, plans and glassware. The appliances were great. The place was very clean and comfortable. The location was in the middle of everything we wanted to do. There is a brewery, pizza/deli, market and coffee/shaved ice within a few minutes of walking. There was plenty of linens and towels and a washer/dryer as well! Our host was right on top of responding to any questions. We had a dog there and that was super easy to navigate with a great yard. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent

Great spot in central MDI. Easy drive to Bar Harbor (20 min), Acadia NP, and other MDI locations. Stocked kitchen. Comfy beds. Nice porch. Wooded lot was quiet and serene.

The pictures do not do the property justice. House is spacious and very well stocked. Plenty of room for kids to spread out. Lots of supplies for cooking and cleaning up if needed. Kathy is very helpful and answers any questions quickly. I hope we can come stay again soon!!!

We highly recommend staying at the eden house!

Beautiful property with a cozy cabin in the woods. Nicely appointed with all the entities we could have needed. Great central.location on MDI.

My husband, adult son, and I just spent nearly a week staying at 26 Norwood Lane and we absolutely loved it! The house is beautiful and well equipped with absolutely everything you need. Its location is convenient for going everywhere on Mount Desert Island and we enjoyed being a close drive to the Acadia carriage trails, hiking trails, and shopping at Ellsworth or Bar Harbor. Because of its secluded setting in the woods, it was the perfect place to escape the crowds and let us relax in peace and solitude after a busy day of hiking, biking, or golfing. As others have noted, the photos seen online do not do this property justice; it is much nicer in person. We also agree with other reviewers that Kathy is an amazing host. She was quick to answer any questions and made outstanding suggestions about places to see, restaurants to try, and stores and supermarkets for shopping. We also appreciated how she stocked the house with spices, condiments, laundry detergent, etc., and loved that she provided the ingredients for a delicious Maine blueberry breakfast. We felt like we were visiting a beloved friend because Kathy took such good care of things. This was our first stay at 26 Norwood Lane, but we hope to return again someday soon!

First off, as many have stated the photos don’t do Kathy’s place justice. It is so cozy, clean, and literally feels like a home away from home. Personally, I really appreciated that she took extra care to make it feel more than a VRBO and more like home. I liked that everything was so well stocked including cleaning products, towels, etc. The property location was wonderful and it took us less than 20 minutes to get to Acadia or Bar Harbor. I really have no complaints. I’d just say that you won’t regret your stay!

We had a wonderful stay with our two dogs. The home is quiet and comfortable and the owner had the house stocked with everything you would need to make it feel like home. It feels secluded but it is close to restaurants and markets. I especially liked that the owner responded quickly to any questions we had.

This house was perfect for my husband, son and me to come home to after long days of hiking in Acadia National Park. And Kathy was truly the hostess with the mostest! She answered my questions promptly, left us supplies for blueberry pancakes and was willing to go out of her way when we found ourselves in a predicament, we locked ourselves out of the house, doh! We will definitely be staying here again the next time we come to Acadia/Bar Harbor.
