This was our third stay renting a place on Mt. Desert Island, and our first time on this property. We stayed as two couples. Before arriving at the property I reviewed the listing extensively and messaged with the owner. Here is a very honest review! Overall, our crew had a wonderful time on the island and made the most of our trip; this review is relating to this property.
Pros:
The owner was responsive to questions upon arrival and got back to us within an hour.
Location to Bass Harbor Lighthouse was great!
Decent sized property.
Quiet neighborhood.
Loved watching the hummingbirds from the porch!
Cons:
Lack of working lightbulbs and lights that flickered throughout the house.
Carpets and furniture were stained.
Property was listed as having AC, upon arrival house was stuffy and there were two units for the entire house. Property manager did send over someone to remedy that, and we were appreciative.
House was damp with a mildew smell.
Floor not mopped prior to arrival.
Window broken in front bedroom, no one alerted before arrival. Back bedroom did not have blinds.
Drawer with silverware had loose food in it, all dishes/cutlery needed washing prior to use.
Overall, kind of disappointed with the house especially since we were upfront about our expectations. House was not worth the price. I wish I had seen an honest review such as this before we rented, so I am hoping this will assist other families/ make the property manager and owner make improvements.

We had a wonderful stay at this home! The house has everything you could need to relax and enjoy during your trip to Maine. The house is very quiet and we saw deer in the front yard! We loved the close proximity to many hiking trails in Acadia National Park.

Home was the perfect place to relax at the end of our day. All comforts of home were available, helpful and thorough info on property and area, and perfect space for all our family!

Nice house, location about 20-25 minutes to Bar Harbor. Closer to Acadia Ntl Park. We enjoyed our stay. Stop at Walmart and grab supplies on way by = much cheaper! Local store has everything you need but at a price. Carpet needs cleaning everything else was great. Beautiful area to explore.

Excellent Stay for Our Large Family
Home had all the basics for our stay with 5 kids, including air conditioning. The screened in porch is perfect at night and in the morning. Drive to the end of the street for harbor views. Easy access to downtown Southwest Harbor. And Archie’s food truck on the water with some cornhole was a great stop.

What a relaxing Stay
Loved the relaxing stay. Flowers and yard was so beautiful. Loved the screened porch - so relaxing. Close enough to Acadia and Bar Harbor - far enough to be quiet and relaxing for all the family. My only regret is we didn’t stay longer. Thanks for a lovely stay

We have always preferred to stay in the southwest portion of Mt. Desert island - because of the relative solitude if nothing else - but we have come to love the area as well. That being the case, this property is perfectly situated for us.
Beyond that, the property manager was super helpful and cooperative with our rather large family group.
We very much enjoyed our stay and recommend the accommodations highly.

Our family had a nice stay at Island Ferry. We had all the comforts of home. It was a perfect spot to unwind after hiking in the park. We had everything we needed to cook meals and places close enough for when we didn’t want to. Although we’ve visited MDI many times this was the first time staying on the quiet side and it was great! Dwayne is a very responsive host answering all my questions prior to booking and prior to arrival. I’m sure if we needed sketching during our stay he would have been just as attentive.

Located on a quiet street in Bass Harbor. It was a short drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia. Southwest harbor is quaint and relatively quiet. Bring bug spray because the mosquitoes are terrible so we weren't able to enjoy the fire pit in the evening however, the closed in perch was nice. We had a great stay!

Gorgeous Home Away from Home! Our 3 generation family enjoyed this beautiful retreat for 4 days. The beds and furnishings were so comfortable and we relaxed on the sunporch every evening. This was a great way to see all that MDI offers! Can't wait to come back!

Great Location
Very nice house, super comfy beds and amenities (TV with lots of options, games, fenced in area for our dog, etc.). Great location-not too close to the busy Bar Harbor side of Acadia but close enough to take a quick bike ride or hike at multiple locations.

Wonderful home for any sized group
Dwayne was incredibly responsive before and during the stay. He made sure to answer all of our questions and any concerns we had. The home itself was also wondeful - very spacious and tidy. 10/10 would recommend!

Visit to Acadia NP
My fiance, pup and i travelled to the area to explore Acadia National Park. While in the area we stayed at Dwayne's property and absolutely loved it! Super cute house, awesome yard and great location (20-30 minutes to everything)! We loved the master bedroom with fireplace! Super warm and cozy and bed was unbelievably comfortable! Our only hiccup was checking in. We followed provided checkin instructions, sent to us prior to arrival but key pad numbers didn't all light up. Service was hit or miss for us around the area but we were able to finally get out a message to Dwayne and received alternate instructions/method of entry. No problems the duration of our stay. Dwayne's restaurant, store and sight seeing recommendations were greatly appreciated as well! Thank you Dwayne~

Luxury in Sleepy Tremont
I've spent months and months on MDI in the past three years. I helped build my daughter's new home. I've stayed in at least five rental homes in this time span, and this wonderful home is the best one so far. If you're looking to be away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, you want this house. Period.
You're minutes from a quiet picnic at the Seawall turnout on 102A. You're minutes from quaint Southwest Harbor. Gott's store is just up the road and Hansen's Outpost is but 2 minutes from the house.
The master bedroom is huge. The bed is comfy. The master bath tub is great for soaking. It's a high tub that almost resembles a swimming pool.
It was bitter cold when we stayed here, but the house's boiler keeps it toasty warm.
You'll love your stay here. I guarantee it.
