Lovely home/darling owner/Beautiful master bedroom and family room mostly unusable for us as there was no handrail up the stairs and no bathroom available up there. The heating was uneven and hard to get to work, despite the owner sweetly coming over to help with it.

Very private new home. Beautiful views and nice walking trail across the street. All beds comfortable and plenty of space for relaxing upstairs. The deck also provides a place to relax and stargaze. Grocery store and Walmart are a 20 minute drive. Acadia National Park is a 30 minute drive and Schoodic Penisula is 40. We did a lot of exploring. This was a great place to come back to each evening.

The condo was in a great location with easy access to Acadia and Bar Harbor. It was very quiet there and we had deer in the front yard one day. The walk trail across was a great place to get some exercise.

Super Clean-Well kept house

This property was amazingly clean. One of the cleanest my husband and I have stayed in.I gave this property a 4 star because I specifically booked it for the king size bed. However the king is on the 2nd floor and there is no bathroom on that floor. Also the upstairs has no central AC system just a wall unit and that bedroom was hot.Also no centralized air conditioning downstairs, another wall unit, so no direct cool air to the queen size room we used downstairs. It was another unusually hot week in Maine when we stayed. We tried opening windows but the road was very loud and busy with traffic which made it difficult to sleep.Not using the upstairs there was no access to a couch. The downstairs only had 2 chairs in a sitting area. We did spend quite a bit of time at the house and prepared alot of meals, we utilized the dining room table.

Incredible gem We LOVED this beautiful private home! Thank you to Paige for such gracious hospitality! We loved coffee on the back porch with gorgeous views of the forrest. One morning I heard a moose snorting. We loved the cute modern, warm interior. Spotless and beautiful. Close drive to Acadia, Bar Harbor and all of the amazing sites.

This property was everything that we needed as a family. Beautiful location and easily accessible. Perfectly located to make day trips to either side of the Acadia National Park. Yet within 7 to 10 minutes from anything in town if you needed something there. The upstairs family room was incredible for family time. We absolutely loved this place.
