Great place with all the room and everything needed for a great family getaway!!

Ten —adult sisters and their men— shared this home. The house, especially the dining room and porch, is big with enough chairs for wonderful gatherings, the kitchen is superbly outfitted, while the en suite bedrooms give privacy. There are kayaks (with paddles and clean PFDs), hikes, books, puzzles to keep everyone entertained, and Acadia National Park locations are close enough for repeat visits. We had an absolutely awesome vacation!

There were 11 of us and to the person -- ages 4 to 70 -- we were thoroughly enchanted by Natascha's property. The house was spacious and equipped with everything we needed for a well-fed, active family vacation. I even made crab cakes from a recipe leaned up against a bulletin board off the kitchen. The scenery was pure Maine and even the guys who mowed the grass (Terry's one) were extraordinarily nice. Some nights we ate at restaurants just a few miles away in Southwest Harbor or at The Ketch in Bass Harbor. Archie's was a favorite. Others we fixed seafood recipes in the kitchen or on one of Natascha's grills. Days we hiked, kayaked (using Natascha's kayaks), rode bikes at Acadia, or just hung out reading on the marvelous wrap-around porch. If anything, the photos with Natascha's VRBO don't do the place justice. Even the Lobster Cottage, where Katy and I stayed, was nestled in privacy and was spacious and just as quaint as the main house. So, yes, I give it a 5-star without any reluctance. I hope we one day return.

We loved our week spent in Maine. Our family ranged in ages from 8 months to 68 years and there was something for everyone! We loved having a bathroom for everyone! The eating area and kitchen which was so well stocked with dishes, cooking utensils, and a pantry with most everything needed to compliment our meals was beyond anything we have ever experienced in a vrbo. We enjoyed eating both in and out and the picnic table could almost accommodate all 12 of us plus two babies. Our lobster boil was a big success and we all loved every last bite!Almost all of us kayaked at least a couple of times and we enjoyed watching the sun set over the water. The lawn was so big we could have a game of soccer which included almost the entire family. Our weather was so beautiful we didn’t spend much time indoors, but if we had, there were games, puzzles, toys, and activities for us all to share together. We were so close to the National Park that we could quickly get to any hikes, lakes, or boat tours we wanted to participate in. We loved our week, and are looking to return again in the near future! Thank you!
