About this house rental
Enjoy a secluded location close to the middle of the Island – the perfect spot to relax in the summer sun, walk in the woods, or take a 5 minute walk to nearby Somes Pond for swimming or kayaking. Yet, only a short drive to Southwest Harbor or Bar Harbor. Also, there are 4 separate lakes and swim areas within 3 miles! The high cathedral ceiling of the main room and many windows open to the south onto a large deck and an expansive lawn secluded from the sound of traffic. The basement and main living space have air conditioning.
The house sits on a 2 acre lot and is very private with woods on all 4 sides. The owner maintains an apartment above the attached garage that he occupies with his wife, with separate entrance and no window views to the lawn or adjacent house. Located nearly 800 feet from the nearest road, the sound of birds is all you will hear. The home has 3 bedrooms: 2 bedrooms with queen beds and the other with twin beds, with additional sleeping options in the office and recreation room. A large, southern facing living room and dining room with a sliding glass door provides lots of sunshine and easy access to the front deck. The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, large refrigerator, and all the typical kitchen appliances and supplies. The two bathrooms compliment one another: one is a self-contained bathroom with the shower, sink and toilet all in one room. The other bathroom has a washer/dryer and sink in one room with the walk-in shower and toilet in an adjoining room. This allows more people access to getting ready, do the laundry, etc. The walkout basement is fully furnished with 2 futons, a 49' flat screen TV, books, and games for the whole family. The 5,000 square front lawn provides plenty of space to play wiffle ball, horseshoes, run around, and generally enjoy the Maine outdoors, while the side lawn is fenced in and great for young children or pets. A covered brick patio offers a barbecue area.

Wonderful location for our family of four. Micheal was very responsive. We love this area. Great swimming pond less than a minute away, easy to get into southwest harbor and quick to get to hiking and biking on the carriage roads.

This was the perfect location and house to gain access to everything in Mount Desert Island, Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Definitely worth going back again!

We have been to Acadia several times and have stayed in multiple different places. This place is one of our top stays. The house is fully stocked, comfy, great location, quiet, and the host is very personable, helpful, and flexible. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely book again.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2021
My family and I stayed at this property for our week long vacation on Mount Desert Island. We typically camp but this year decided to opt for a rental due to having an infant.
Pros:
-host was fairly quick to respond to messages when we needed refills/additional supplies (water, laundry detergent, dishwasher pods, paper towels)
-the house was open and spacious with plenty of room for 6 adults
-the house is located away from the road and is quiet
Cons:
-some minor things needed to be repaired (leaky seals around both bathroom faucets, broken toilet roll holder)
-There was no hand towels provided (when asked, we were provided with washcloths) or bathmat in one bathroom (was slippery getting out of shower due to tile flooring)
-Host needed to bring in contractor while we were there (host ok'd with us first but was still an intrusion on our vacation)
-the basement area (including 1 bedroom) is cool and damp (a dehumidifier may have helped?) and smells "doggy"
-we were not notified of check-out procedures until 10pm the night prior to checking-out. perhaps written check-out procedures could be provided or left in the rental so guests have enough time to complete these things
