Beautiful property close to both the main hikes near Bar Harbor but also Acadia hikes and activities on the quieter side. Island bus stop is just outside the door. Swimming lakes close by. Saw river porpoise, eagles and ospreys kayaking from the house.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this house! The views were amazing, and we used the binoculars each day to watch the eagles, gulls, and ducks. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We kayaked at sunset and captured a rainbow in the clouds. Our family made treasured memories that will last forever!

Our family absolutely loved our stay! The house was very clean with a well-equipped kitchen, coffee bar, and laundry room. This was the first time I have ever stayed in a rental property that did not require a double check on the cleanliness of plates/pots and pans before using. Beds were very comfy, towels were soft and the house was very spacious. We had plenty of room for five people. Robard was a fantastic communicator and check-in and check-out was seamless. The backyard, deck and patio were used almost every day, and we loved seeing all of the wildlife (so many bald eagles!). Acadia park entrances are within 15-20 mins, while Bar Harbor is only 15 minutes away. Location was close to everything but still felt quiet. We will definitely be back!

Amazing location and wonderful property with beautiful views in the back of the home. Accommodations were excellent and the amenities were very nice. The host Robard was very accommodating and ensured we had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay of our family of 7.
