We loved our stay at this place. It was very clean. It was located close to Acadia National Park. It had 4 good size bedrooms. It also is only a few years old and in very good condition. I would definitely recommend this VRBO unit to others looking for a great place to stay.

We enjoyed our stay, and the property was just as we expected. It was located in a wooded setting and somewhat secluded. There is another Unit attached to this, and it was occupied during our stay. We had no issues with sound from the neighbors. Overall it was a very quiet and peaceful location. It was definitely on the quiet side of the Island and away from the tourist and craziness of Acadia National Park. It was exactly what we wanted. It was in a great location for us as we did a lot of hiking and there were tons of trail heads within 15 minutes. Getting to the National Park was easy, but took about 30 minutes to get to the tourist spots and park road. There is an IRVING Gas station just down the road and has a great selection of to-go food and Ice cream. We took advantage of this a few nights after hiking as a lot of things were closed after labor day. The property seemed to be well stocked and seemed to have everything you could need. My wife and I only used the first floor, but there were bedrooms upstairs that looked real nice. The Bed in Master Bedroom was comfortable and the shower had great pressure. The window coverings are odd but functional and really not an issue, just weird. We were very happy and had no real issues, and thought the value we got for the cost was great. We would stay here again if we came back to the park.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Orchard Hills Circle. Family vacation with adult children and their significant others. The house was clean and with all conveniences. The host allows pets, so we were able to vacation with our senior lab and new addition- lab puppy. Recommend hiking with your dogs at Little Long Pond in Seal Harbor.

This house is so clean, comfy and inviting. The pictures truly don’t do it justice. We had 5 adults and there was ample space to hang out to eat and talk plus sleep. The location is quiet yet not a bad ride to Bar Harbor, Acadia, etc. We go different places every year but if I ever wanted to go back to a place year after year …this would be it!

We had a very comfortable stay for a week. The townhouse is conveniently located on the Southwest Harbor side of Mount Desert Island. The beds are comfortable, there's plenty of storage for your clothing and it was great having a washing machine and dryer. Our black lab was welcome and comfortable there which was a plus.

This property and listing were excellent. Plenty of room as there were 4 adults who spent the week hiking, trying out the restaurants, visiting the sites, and relaxing. Place was clean, modern in appearance, and conveniently located for hiking many trails if not all in Acadia, and 20 minutes to Bar Harbor and other places of interest. This property was clean, layout was functional, and had everything needed for a week of fun. Water pressure and hot water for showers for the 4 of us after a day of hiking was available. The property is on the quiet side of the island so local harbors and places to eat were not as crowded and much easier to navigate and quite frankly more enjoyable. Manager was on-site and easy to contact and talk to. He was extremely knowledgably of area and willing to share his insights as to places to visit and eat. Property was well cared for and lots of places to walk our dog safely. Lots of lobster roadside stops and good restaurants within 10 minutes of drive in nearby harbors. We are definitely considering coming back next summer to this location.

The home was clean and beautiful in a good location with easy access to all areas of Acadia. There is a lot of closet space in each of the upstairs bedrooms. The fans use remote controls to increase/decrease the speed of the fan and to turn the fan light on and off.

Our family of three, our mini golden doodle and another family of four stayed at the property. The property was very clean, brand new, had plenty of bedrooms for our group. The only down side is the livingroom/kitchen was quiet small for our size group. We mainly spent time enjoying Acadia outside of the rental however once there during downtime it was a bit tight. Overall, we loved the quiet side area, the wooden and secluded space of the property, close to the small downtown area and close enough to the main Acadia hiking and Bar Harbor.
