About this house rental

Nestled in Acadia National Park, this charming house for $450 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. Enjoy a secluded location close to the middle of the Island – the perfect spot to relax in the summer sun, walk in the woods, or take a 5 minute walk to nearby Somes Pond for swimming or kayaking. Yet, only a short drive to Southwest Harbor or Bar Harbor. Also, there are 4 separate lakes and swim areas within 3 miles! The high cathedral ceiling of the main room and many windows open to the south onto a large deck and an expansive lawn secluded from the sound of traffic. The basement and main living space have air conditioning. The house sits on a 2 acre lot and is very private with woods on all 4 sides. The owner maintains an apartment above the attached garage that he occupies with his wife, with separate entrance and no window views to the lawn or adjacent house. Located nearly 800 feet from the nearest road, the sound of birds is all you will hear. The home has 3 bedrooms: 2 bedrooms with queen beds and the other with twin beds, with additional sleeping options in the office and recreation room. A large, southern facing living room and dining room with a sliding glass door provides lots of sunshine and easy access to the front deck. The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, large refrigerator, and all the typical kitchen appliances and supplies. The two bathrooms compliment one another: one is a self-contained bathroom with the shower, sink and toilet all in one room. The other bathroom has a washer/dryer and sink in one room with the walk-in shower and toilet in an adjoining room. This allows more people access to getting ready, do the laundry, etc. The walkout basement is fully furnished with 2 futons, a 49' flat screen TV, books, and games for the whole family. The 5,000 square front lawn provides plenty of space to play wiffle ball, horseshoes, run around, and generally enjoy the Maine outdoors, while the side lawn is fenced in and great for young children or pets. A covered brick patio offers a barbecue area.

We arrived during a tropical storm- trees and power lines coming down en route. Power soon went off in the house, but our Super Host, Mike, provided candles, flashlights, water- all we needed. Even started a fire for us in the woodstove so we’d be warm and cozy. He made a challenging time enjoyable! When weather cleared, the location was close to fun hikes and an easy trip to Bar Harbor.

We enjoyed our stay and Michael was a great host! The house was great for kids and they especially enjoyed a big tub of legos and a rope swing outside. We liked how close we were to Acadia. There was a pizza place just 7 minutes away and a one mile trail you could take to see the sunset on the ocean just 5 minutes away!

The listing states you won’t really see the owner, but we saw him basically every day of our stay. A huge red flag for us was that the door between the garage and main house only locks from the owners side. For safety purposes, we would have like to have a lock from our side of the door. I think this is very important for people to know before booking!! The rental was clean & nice. The upstairs bathroom did have a musty odor that never seemed to go away. Location - it is 15-20 minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia. The drive was not bad, but just something to keep in mind if you plan to drive back and forth multiple times a day. The fenced in yard was a big + for our dog and safety as this property is very remote in the woods.

A very lovely property tucked away at the end of a wooded drive. This is a great house with everything you could possibly need. There were only 2 of us, but the house can accommodate quite a few more comfortably. Michael is a great host and was very helpful.

This house is in a great location equal distance between Bar Harbor shops/restaurants and the quiet side of the Island line Seal Cove and The Seawall. The house had wverything we needed for our stay and the host Michael is a a kind man. There are stairs to the bedrooms just so you are prepaired. I would highly recommend it.

This was a nice secluded home less than a half hour from Bar Harbor, so we had a great balance between peaceful relaxation and fun activities. The house was clean, plenty of room, with all amenities. The owner respected our privacy and was not at all intrusive, but we did see him on occasion. The fenced-in yard was a great plus for the dog. The Wi-Fi was not reliable during our stay, and our Verizon cell service was pretty weak in the entire area. If you have to do any work while you are there that may be a challenge.
