Our multigenerational family thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. The house was clean and comfortable and very convenient to Acadia access And nearby towns. We loved our stay and the host was extremely responsive to all of our inquiries. The hot tub was fantastic as was the gas grill and firepit! Wish we could have stayed longer!

Nice roomy place. Met our needs. Family enjoyed it a lot. We had a fire one night and were treated with a doe and her fawn daily. It is a bit of a drive to Bar Harbor and park loop road but not bad. Found nice places to eat nearby. I'd recommend.

Nice and quite. Deer passing through. Great hot tub and relaxing fire pit area. Nice rooms with comfy beds. Wonderful kitchen and the shower downstairs was the best. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice getaway for the whole family. Felt like we were at home. Lots of little details and considerations were evident that just make traveling easier. Definitely recommend!

This house was clean and comfortable and we would definitely stay here again!

We had an incredible stay in this beautiful home! Clean, comfortable, and full of amenities, including family games and puzzles! Loved being on the quieter side of MDI but still close enough to all desired attractions. Lovely outdoor space. Would love to return in the future!!

Our main destination was Acadia National Park. The house was about 15-20 minutes from most of the parks sites and 20 minutes to downtown Bar Harbor. So overall the location for us was good. The property is very secluded and quiet which was nice. We had a deer walk through the yard within 30 minutes of being there! Plenty of space for our family of 4. There were a few minor things we noticed could use some attention. Here are the not so great things: the shower heads need to be replaced with an actual head with holes for water to come out. What is there now essentially is a "mist". This has nothing to do with the water pressure because that was fine. The queen bed in the "kids" room is horribly uncomfortable so be sure a child sleeps there (as opposed to an adult) or avoid it all together! The hard floors especially on the main level are in desperate need of a good scrubbing. With those things said, the house was great for our needs. The hot tub was an extra bonus and was very nice. The kitchen was well stocked for making our own meals. Plenty of towels and blankets provided. Overall we would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Great location! Close to Acadia (20 minute drive). Property was quiet and private. Very close to Beech Ladder trail and Bass Harbor lighthouse. Local restaurants are shops closed a bit on the early side (7:00-8:00); maybe it was because we visited in early June. The house was very nice. Kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of towels. Firepit was nice! There was some wood and kindling supplied. Nice touch. The only improvement we would have liked to see in the house was better shower heads. Overall great experience!

This was a great rental overall. We did have a lot of huge ants downstairs and some other bugs as well (no biting bugs). We were not a fan of the shower heads that only had a mist like quality. Other than that, we liked the homey feel and quiet atmosphere. All the beds we’re comfortable except the full size bed.

Stayed here for a weekend of climbing in Acadia and had a fantastic time. The house was great and well equipped and the hot tub was the best way to relax after a day on the rocks.

My family and I had a wonderful time. Beautiful house & friendly host. Thank you Thom

Amazing stay! Quaint house that felt secluded, but also close drive to Southwest Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Hot tub was also a huge plus in the evenings! Highly recommend!!

Great stay, everything as advertised.

Beautiful property in a quiet area of Mount Desert Island. 30 minutes from the most popular parts of Acadia NP, but only 5-10 minutes from some equally amazing, but quieter areas. Well stocked kitchen. Laundry facilities. A great retreat for our family of 6 during our trip to Maine/Acadia National Park.

Everything you need without being directly in Bar Harbor. Easy access to eveything.

Wonderful stay at this very well-equipped property! It was conveniently located. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub each evening after a full day of activities in Acadia.

Really nice property in an idyllic setting. We loved being in Southwest Harbor vs. fighting the crowds of Bar Harbor. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great location within 30 minutes to all the attractions we were interested in. Lots of info provided by host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

I have to say that when we turned on the narrow gravel road I was a little worried, but this is a gem of a house! Set back in the woods and a beautiful place, does it get any better than having a couple of deer walk into the yard and watch as you unload your luggage??? The house was very well appointed and had everything we could possibly need to ensure a great stay. We enjoyed sitting on the porch every morning watching the bunnies play in the yard. The beds were comfortable and the shower is amazing!! Our son and his family were camping in the area and came over for dinner two nights. Nine people at the table and no one was crowded. There was plenty of room for all of us to sit in the living area for visiting, too. The children enjoyed the stash of books. We spent some time enjoying reading to them after dinner. The fact that this house is right in Southwest Harbor was a plus too. We were a super short drive from everything there and an easy drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor. We would love to stay at this home again!

Exactly as described, nicely equipped. Beautiful, quiet, wooded setting. On the outskirts of Southwest Harbor (which is an awesome town), but not far from Northeast Harbor. So much to do in the area: hiking, kayaking, boat tours/ferries, boating, biking, lake swimming. Would stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed starting our mornings on the porch with coffee and ending the night in the hot tub. We would highly recommend this place!

I’m almost hesitant to leave this review because I don’t want anyone else to find out about this gem! First, I had excellent communication with the owner(s). Very responsive to my questions. What you see in the pictures accurately depicts what see when you arrive, which isn’t always the case when booking a property. The main reason I booked this property it had 3 full bedrooms to accommodate 3 couples and a toddler. You are getting full beds not bunkbeds. If you think you need to bring some sort of appliance, gadget or utensil don’t because they pretty much have thought of everything. I noticed they even had a pack n play in the closet for an infant. There are games and puzzles galore. There is a smart tv with all the apps you need with great Wi-Fi. The property was very clean. As far as location you are 20 min from downtown Bar Harbor and right next to Acadia National Park. Just one recommendation for anyone booking the property. We traveled quite a long way to Maine and didn’t want to bring food with us but purchase food when we arrived. I searched and there is an IGA market nearby and I expected to pay a higher price which I did the first night. But there is a Walmart 30 min away and more than likely you will be passing it on your way to the property. So, leave some time for yourself before arriving to stop or make the 30 min drive like I did the next day. Ok one more tip pick up a bundle of firewood from the many people selling it on the side of the road for the fire pit. We will definitely be returning at some time in the future. Thanks again to Thom we had a great time.

My kids felt comfortable right away and said it felt homey :) Lots of board games and books to keep them busy. Short drive to Jordan Pond and Cadillac mountain, shops, stores and restaurants. We would stay here again.

This property is on the quieter, less busy part of Mt. Desert, yet short distance to all activities. We VRBO a lot, and finally...sharp knives. Thank you. We would definitely stay again.

We visited Maine for mine and my fiance's wedding that took place in Acadia NP. The hosts were wonderful, helpful, and friendly. Very clean, organized, felt like home. We were very pleased about a pack and play and baby gate for the infant we had. Thank you so much for the best vacation stay. We will definitely visit again.

The house was plenty big for our family, well cared for and all the amenities we needed. It was quiet and the hot tub made for a nice end to busy days. Especially appreciate Thom’s flexibility in scheduling and willingness to accommodate a last minute change.

Very comfortable home with lots of room to spread out. We enjoyed all hanging out on the main floor. The fire pit was nice, and having laundry was a convenient option.

We loved this house and location! The house had everything we needed and more. Enjoyed having our coffee on the front porch in the mornings and relaxing in the hot tub at night. Easy drive to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. Would love to stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. We liked that it was on the "quiet" side of Acadia and appreciated the serene setting - we saw a doe and her fawn each morning and enjoyed the woods setting. The house felt like we were staying at a friend's cabin and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and the house was clean. We would stay here again if in the area.

Thom’s place was in a beautiful location that felt really secluded even though it was right near a main road. We even saw a deer in the driveway! We loved the spacious house and the hot tub. Several great hikes were just a few minutes away, and travel to Bar Harbor and into Acadia was easy. Thom was very quick to respond to any questions we had.

Everything was great for our five-night stay. One of the cleanest rentals I’ve ever had, well-stocked with lots of little extra things like fans and nightlights. Shower was not as bad as some reviews made me fear. Would book this one again in a heartbeat.
