The property was as listed. Beautiful sunsets, first morning greeted by a pair of bald eagles. House and furnishings were very homey. Kitchen was well stocked with good quality pans, dishes and glassware. Paul was very responsive, concerned when we lost power due to tropical storm. Despite being on a busy road felt very private and remote.

If you love Mount Desert Island, this is the place to go! The location is great, on the quiet side, easy drive to anyplace you want to be, and walking distance to a well-stocked store and great little seafood/ice cream shacks. The cottage is more lovely than the pictures show. It has a well-oufitted kitchen (we love to cook in), lovely deck and yard, and the interior is really clean and comfortable. The host was prompt to reply and very pleasant. This place is a keeper for our list.

We had a wonderful vacation to Maine the third week in September. Our arrival had a bit of drama due to Hurricane Lee approaching the Island. It was down graded to a tropical storm but unfortunately made landfall on the day of our arrival. Our daughters flight was delayed by a day. You can’t do anything about the weather! The good news is the weather was fabulous for the rest of our trip. Communication with our host was great. We loved the house. It has everything you need. I was sold when I walked into the kitchen and found a clean, new sponge by the sink! So many rentals leave dirty old sponges! We loved the quiet location and view by the harbor is lovely. It is a bit of a drive to the more popular attractions and hikes but we had our car and we’re prepared for that. I would highly recommend this rental.

The pictures in the listing do not do this cute little house justice. It is an old, charming home in excellent condition. It’s filled with useful and thoughtful antiques. An old weathervane pointing out the directions, a roll top desk to sit at and do work, antique book cabinets filled to the brim with interesting titles, beautiful wooden chairs to sit in… it’s a special little place. For our family of 4, it was the perfect size. My teen children opted to not share the second bedroom and my son slept in the TV room that had a couch that opened to a bed. The French doors even thoughtfully had blinds that could be rolled down for privacy. We also really enjoyed the beautiful night sky as we lay on the recliners on the deck. And there was a telescope and binoculars to use too. The owners really thought of everything. The only downside of the home was the shower situation. The upstairs shower has the angle of the roof in it and cannot be used by anyone tall. There is a stall shower in the downstairs bathroom but it’s small and dark. That was my only complaint. But I’ll deal with it for the rest of the house!

We had a wonderful stay and after seeing the crowds in Bar Harbor we were glad to be staying on the “quiet side.” We spent our days enjoying all that Acadia has to offer and our evenings enjoying the house and everything IT has to offer. The harbor view is spectacular and instantly relaxing. Spectacular sunsets were followed by crystal clear night skies. We were lucky enough to be there during a meteor shower. The house was lovely and as advertised. We hope to be back.

The house was very clean inside and out. It has a huge yard that would be great for kids to play in. We didn’t have an issue with mosquitoes as other reviewers noted. You can’t really get in the water as it’s located high into Bass Harbor and therefore low tide leaves it very muddy not sandy or rocky. The house is very roomy and a little quirky in a charming way. It’s located on a little lane with one other house which is barely visible. There is one other house next to it (the pier shown in the pictures belongs to the house next door). The deck of the neighboring house is visible to the Black Acre deck. There is quite a bit of road noise but it quiets down at night. While there, we hiked at near trails, ate at several restaurants (Thortons was our favorite), steamed lobsters in house (found a guy that sold them for $7 lb), drove up Cadillac mountain and rented kayaks on Long pond. The weather was fair but we made the best of it. Overall good vacation!

Beautiful setting, convenient to Acadia trail heads, kayaking, boating, ferries, restaurants, lobster. Very comfortable house with all the essentials. We ate a lot of our meals in, so, it was important to be able to cook. This small country kitchen was perfect and we even grilled lobsters two nights. Great hosts and pet friendly. I highly recommend.
