All amenities great, plenty of heat during our 8 degree stay !! & extremely clean & comfortable.

Communication was perfect. We had an issue with a door lock and after sending a quick text, Vacasa was very prompt responding, maintaining good communication until the issue was resolved. The house was very clean and the sun room made it a wonderful retreat. It was an easy commute to Cadillac Mountain for sunrise. Our only suggestions would be: One, an updated shower head. Its very high and only tilts so far so it hits the wall and not the person. Two, window coverings. Even though the area is secluded, we would have liked the option to cover the windows at the sink, the kitchen table, the kitchen/entryway door, and especially the hall, since it large and sits right outside of the bathroom.

We really enjoyed our time at this house. It was the quiet getaway we were looking for. The kids loved playing outside, and we used the firepit every night. Would recommend.

There is a lot to love about Dory Haven. The location on the water afforded great views in a serene atmosphere. We loved the enclosed porch and pretty much stayed in that room exclusively when in the house. The kitchen was modern and well equipped, as was the bathroom. However, the Wi-Fi was absolutely inadequate and seemed like false advertising. The house is in a dead spot for 5G/LTE, so Wi-Fi is essential. However, we could not get it to work at all during our weeklong stay because the speeds from Hughesnet were too slow. The lack of WiFi made it difficult to plan activities because we were unfamiliar with the area. My son, who had work to do every morning, had to drive 20 minutes to a coffee shop with Wi-Fi every day. This raises another issue with the location. We loved being away from the crowds of Bar Harbor; however, the location really is remote. By the end of our week-long stay, we were tired of driving 25 to 30 minutes to enjoy shopping or dining out. Finally, during this time of year (early July) the sun starts to rise at 4:15 AM. Because there were no shades on the skylights and the curtains were thin and white (and stained) in the bedrooms, we rose with the sun at an ungodly hour. Dory Haven is a charming house with some great features, but we won't be back. It could be perfect for someone who wants to and is able to disconnect during their stay. That wasn't us, unfortunately.
