This property was so lovely. It was quaint, quiet, peaceful and comfy. The kitchen had everything you could need. The bed was very comfortable as well! The owners were super nice and very responsive.The location couldn't be beat. It is on the "quiet side" so it was much more peaceful and not crowded. The house is set back in the woods but very close to many hiking trails and Echo Lake. Only 20 minutes to the main part Acadia National Park.Everything was wonderful.There is nothing negative to say about this property. :-)

We booked this VRBO for our trip to Acadia National Park, and it exceeded our expectations. First, I want to mention how wonderful Cyd was as a host. She is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.The carriage house is beautiful and perfectly suited for a couple. It was spotless, well-equipped, and stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The thoughtful details and personal touches throughout the property really set it apart from other rentals we've stayed in.We enjoyed cooking several meals, taking advantage of the grill, and relaxing around the fire pit in the evenings. The property is surrounded by trees, providing plenty of privacy and a peaceful setting away from the main road. During our stay, we even had deer and wild turkeys wander through the area, which added to the charm and natural beauty of the location.The comfortable bed, in-unit laundry, and overall amenities made it feel like a home away from home. Having stayed in many VRBOs over the years, we can confidently say this was one of our favorite places. It's also an excellent location for exploring both Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park.We highly recommend this property and would gladly stay here again.Jeff & Karina

Immaculately clean, incredible attention to detail, and excellent communication with the host. I have never taken the time to review a VRBO property before, until now. I could not pass on the opportunity to express how awesome this place is! Best rental property I have ever stayed in, hands down!

We had a great stay! The location is super convenient to Acadia and we had everything we needed in the house. There was a high level of attention to detail and cleanliness. The owners are easy to reach, happy to help, and super friendly. We arrived to find fresh flowers throughout, chocolates, fancy folded towels, a fully equipped kitchen, a hammock, and a fire pit all ready for our use. I'm not sure what else a person could need for a great stay. For a couple, this is the perfect place to stay for a visit to Bar Harbor, Acadia, or any of the other surrounding areas.
