The website did not disclose that the property was not accessible for the mobility impaired. The apartment was selected because it had a walk-in shower, but it had a steep staircase to the living space with no toilet upstairs. The incongruity was not disclosed. My 86-year-old husband, who has Parkinsonism, coped, with difficulty. The configuration should be disclosed prominently on its web description. The apartment, itself, was beautiful and well furnished. The electric fireplace was a delight during Tropical Storm Lee. It would be perfect for someone young and agile.

Apartment was excellent. Cozy, extra clean and well furnished. It was close enough to everything. Everything was well explained in the little booklet that the owners left. Appreciated the easy to use TV. Sometimes you go to a place and there’s 5 remotes and you need to work everything in a certain order to make it work. Really wanted to try the restaurant just did not realize it was not open on Sunday when we had time available. The only thing I would point out as a tip for some travelers is that the restroom is downstairs. This was fine with us but I can imagine someone getting up late at night and having to go down a set of stairs.

Very clean and attractive

A charming, spacious apartment perfectly located in the village of Blue Hill. The apartment on second level was pristine clean and comfortably appointed - we had everything we needed. The bed was super comfy!! We were so happy to be there each night after our busy days sightseeing Blue Hill, Bar Harbor, Ellsworth and Deer Island. We were happy to meet our host John and also enjoyed a lovely meal his Arborvine Restaurant across the driveway… reservations a must! Thank you so much for making our stay so special. Blue Hill holds a special place in my heart.

My parents stayed for 3 nights, the bed was incredibly comfortable, kitchen had anything we could need, clean and nicely decorated. Perfect place to stay in blue hill, maine where all can be walked to from the apartment.

The apartment had everything that we needed, and was easy walking distance to town.

Last minute work trip turned into a lovely stay in a quaint town. Extremely clean. Very safe and cozy. Would recommend!

All in all, this was a great experience and the unit was an ideal spot to use as a home base while visiting the area. Thank you!

I stayed at three places in Blue Hill during my vacation. Arborvine had no view of the water nor historic importance. Even so, it was the nicest and the most enjoyable place I stayed. Easy to do everything. Modern, well appointed, nicely furnished.

Property is well cared for, private and comfortable.

The property didn’t disappoint! Exactly as described. The apartment had everything we needed to enjoy our visit to Maine. It was a great place to come back to at the end of each day of sightseeing and start again each morning. Extremely clean and neat. Thanks so much for everything! A special thank you to Michelle at the Arborvine for going out of her way with a special request…she went above and beyond.

Great little apt at Arborvine for a visit to Blue Hill for a weekend gathering. Spotless and had everything we needed.

Enjoyed my stay will stay again if available.

The apartment was exactly as advertised and bigger than I expected. It was very cute and clean. It had everything we needed. It was about a 45 minute drive to Acadia through really charming coastal towns and nice to come back to the quiet town of Blue Hill. The only disappointment was the brewery next door was closed (I think just for the season). This was minor and we had a number of other wonderful walkable options. I recommend this highly!

We loved staying here. Nearly everything is in walking distance and the apartment is quite comfortable . We hope to stay here again.

This is a beautiful apartment in an ideal location. Walking distance to everything in Blue Hill. The apartment is spotlessly clean and very well equipped. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

This is a perfect getaway for a couple. Quiet and clean. Everything you could need is there. Hosts are very attentive and make sure you are satisfied with your stay. Would definitely recommend and stay again!!

The apartment at Arborvine is a gem - cozy, spotless, nicely decorated and in a great location. We spent a wonderful winter weekend there enjoying the gas wood burning stove while it sleeted outside. The kitchen is fully equipped although we didn’t cook - enjoyed a delicious meal at the restaurant and did take out from the local Co-op. In summer the small patio would be lovely with coffee or a glass of wine. The bathroom is downstairs from the rest of the rooms but we did not find that a problem at all. Very private and cozy. John was very quick to respond to questions and with general information. Highly recommend this spot - we hope to come back again soon!

We were looking for a place specifically in Blue Hill that would accommodate a visit with family, who lives nearby. This turned out to be a perfect location and a comfortable apartment. Property is very clean and welcoming. Location is quiet, despite being on the grounds of a very good, and locally popular restaurant. Do be aware, and this was not a problem for us but we missed it in the property description, that the apartment is second floor but the bathroom is downstairs in the first floor as you enter. Our one suggestion would be to update the written instructions provided in the apartment, especially as they relate to the heating system. Also, there is a new door lock system that requires a code. Nothing in the pre-arrival message that we received from VRBO described this code access. In fact, the pre-arrival message said the door would be unlocked and the keys would be inside., Fortunately, the owners were on site when we arrived, and were able to fully welcome us to the apartment. If they had not been there, we would not have had the correct instructions to get in. Also, although there is a TV available, we had problems accessing any current or local news, or even signing into our Roku apps due to ”memory capacity issues”. Overall, this is a great place to stay, and we hope to return on our next trip.

A very nice and efficient unit in the heart of the town, the unit was perfect for our Thanksgiving visit to see family.

We had a great stay! The apartment was very comfortable, well equipped, and close to town in Blue Hill! We would highly recommend this to others!

This unit has everything you would expect from a short term rental. I may not have reviewed the property info well enough and was surprised that the bathroom was on a different floor from the bedroom. Not a huge deal, but something that surprised me. Again, this is probably my mistake. The check out instructions where detailed which was helpful. I would rerun to this property.

This place is awesome. Clean and very quiet setting.The only draw back is the only bathroom is on the bottom floor. The rest of the apartment is upstairs.

We loved this apartment. Perfect for the two of us. Made our stay in that part of Maine even more enjoyable. I had made a mistake in the number of days for my reservation. I emailed John and he immediately changed the reservation to accommodate the extra day I needed. Very pleased with the experience.

My daughter and I were in town to celebrate her upcoming 40th birthday. The unit was clean and cozy and a great location. Good place to stay.

Contemporary, comfortable, contributes to my life

Location is excellent--walking distance to various restaurants and the Arborvine is a great one! So many nice amenities at the apartment. I could easily live there!

Comfortable apartment in a beautiful area.

Lovely and private, tastefully fitted out and self-contained with its own parking- close to all that's going on in Blue Hill but with a sense of being completely tucked away. This is our second time here- the Blue Hill peninsula and Deer Isle are extraordinary and we were incredibly lucky with the weather so it has been a perfect little getaway.

The apartment was clean, nice and quiet. We enjoyed the location very much. We were disappointed that the two restaurants listed in the description were not able available to enjoy on site. The brewery was closed completely and the Arborvine was impossible to get a reservation each time we tried. It would have been nice to have a heads up about that. Otherwise all was good!

The apartment is wonderful. Blue Hill is worth exploring (great hikes). Downstairs bathroom was not an issue for us. The Arbovine restaurant is worth checking out as well. Acadia NP is about 40 minutes away and Ellsworth about 20.

Very nice apartment within walking to distance to Blue Hill Village and to several hiking trails within the area. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and we appreciated all the materials about activities and resources in the local area. This was the perfect spot to return to each day after exploring all this beautiful area has to offer.
