This was a fantastic house for our family. It has plenty of space, with a small and large sitting room and two big porches. There are two bedrooms downstairs, each with a twin and attached bath. Upstairs, a queen room and a two twins room share a sizable jack and Jill, and there is a huge master suite that opens onto the upper porch. But the best part is the quiet peaceful location up a small hill in Northwest Harbor, with ocean views right off the deck. It's also an easy walk into the town, which has a grocery store, shops, and multiple restaurants without the bustle and crowds of Bar Harbor. Similarly, it's just 5 minutes to trail heads for beautiful and less crowded parts of Acadia. Of course, if you want the bigger town of Bar Harbor or the popular Sand Beach or Jordan Pond of Acadia, those are still just a 20 minute drive away! And Alex was a great host, quick to respond and very accommodating and helpful.

We spent four days and nights on mount desert island. The house was exactly as listed, very well equipped in a prime location. Communication with the agent was smooth and easy. Definitely will try to stay again!

Myself and a group of family+friends enjoyed this place during a summer vacation. We loved the feel of the place from the outside: a long, private drive up through the woods where you're greeted by a big and beautiful house that looks like it was taken straight out of the Alps. The house had everything we needed and more including ample parking (we had 3-4 cars at a time), clean towels, toilet paper, extra bedding, plenty of kitchen tools, a gassed-up grill and much more. For those looking for a more lavish stay, this may not be for you. For instance, some of the beds are not the most comfortable, and the house is carpeted almost entirely with indoor/outdoor carpet. However, for our type of group (the type that has fun no matter where we are), these details were minor and had little effect on our overall experience. The uniqueness of the property, the privacy, and the abundance of beds+baths made it a perfect place for us.

We would return. That says it all.
