A 5-Star Stay!I have booked my share of short-term vacation rentals, and I truly wish there were more like this one!As you can see from the pictures, the amenities are absolutely excellent—the pool, jacuzzi, movie room, game room, sauna, and firepit were incredible. The entire place is just beautiful.What you can’t see in the photos, though, is the amazing attention to detail. So many small things were well thought out and taken care of, which made for an extra special experience.We had a wonderful getaway, spending our days hiking Acadia and coming "home" to enjoy this perfect retreat. It provided the ultimate mix of being active during the day and getting in some deep relaxation and leisure time in the evenings.Highly recommend!
