We stayed for 4 nights in early October. The property is great for a crowd. There were plenty of towels and kitchen essentials. Although there were just two couples in our group and we did not utilize the home much, it suited our needs. The guys did enjoy the hot tub one evening. We were in the area for the first time and wanted to see all we could see in a short time, so we left early mornings and returned late evenings. I would definitely stay here again if we were in the area. The nightlights in the rooms and the dual coffee pots (a Keurig and a full coffee pot) were much appreciated. They even had coffee pods available to start our first day, if we needed them. The beds were comfortable. The only issue (and really by the next morning it was not an issue after we saw where we were) was that we arrived late on our first day, well after dark. The lane is hard to see at night and when we pulled onto the lane, the grass was grown up on each side. There were old trucks and an old garage on either side as we entered. We missed the 1 on the house number and drove past it thinking we had to go farther to our destinatiion but then wound up in someones driveway so we turned around and noticed that this was actually house number 13. It was just kind of an eery vibe entering but at daylight we saw where we were and everything was fine. I only write this to let anyone know if they enter after dark with the same experience, you'll be ok. Thanks for a great stay!

Family vacation for 6 adults, 3 yr old, and infant. We really enjoyed the spaciousness of the inside and out of the home. Loved the wrap around porch, firepit, hot tub, and large dining area. Surrounded by trees, and felt very private. We cooked in most evening meals, and the kitchen was well stocked with a Keurig, and drip coffee maker, pots, pans, knives, kitchen gadgets, etc. Even a lobster pot. The owner was very prompt in answering emails with any questions we had. For infant, we used the pack-n-play (in downstairs closet) but note to people bringing own linens for that. It is a larger model, so the current fitted sheets and mattress pad my daughter-in-law brought didn't fit. No worries, though, I just wrapped it in a towel, then wrapped the pad like a package. We did NOT have any issues with water pressure while we were there. Bathrooms were well equipped, and there were plenty of towels. Would definitely return.

I stayed here for 4 nights with my mom and sister for a fun girls' trip, and we all agreed the home was just what we needed. The location is great! You feel secluded even though there are a few other homes near you, you cannot see them. We saw so many deer from the porch! I swear everytime we walked out the door there were multiple deer, included fawn. The three bedrooms were spacious. The downstairs shower was fantastic! We didn't do any cooking on our trip, but the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. There is a great coffee shop within walking distance from the house as well! It was a bit too damp while we were there to get a fire going in the fire-pit, but just sitting out there enjoying the peace was good enough for us. The check-in/check-out process couldn't have been easier, and there was not a long list of things for us to take care of before checking out like I've had at other vacation rentals. This was the first time visiting MDI for everyone in my group, and we all agreed we'd have to come back again.

The house was well appointed. The home was in a quit neighborhood but easy access to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and all that the area has to offer. By far one of the best places I have stayed in. Liked the layout of the main living area. Sleeping was comfortable.Communicationn was effortless. Owner replied very quickly with any questions. Checking in and out a breeze. Would definitely stay there again. Great for couples and families.
