Great Hosts and Location

Our stay here at the Dragonfly Woods was very awesome and very smooth from the beginning to the end. Not only is the location in a wonderful spot but also Rob and Gayle are two of the most hospitable hosts out there. They were always there when we needed it and were very helpful with guiding us with great recommendations throughout the area. We would definitely recommend staying here if you are staying in Bar Harbor area.

Everything was so wonderful!I’m there was a personalized welcome, not 15. Find a key and let yourself in good luck. Our dog was very grateful for a cool drink of water. The moment she was in the house. Wi-Fi is a struggle throughout Maine. We included did have some struggles. It was not ignored at all by our host and hostess!

Dragonfly Woods was the perfect quiet and peaceful location for our trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The listing and photos were a true representation of the property. The apartment was extremely clean with all the amenities one would want for a very comfortable stay. The hosts were quickly responsive to any questions that we had. We would definetely stay here again.

Dragonfly stay

Clean and quiet older apartment with all amenities. Easy access about 3 miles away to visitors center to catch bus into town. Hosts do their best to make your stay enjoyable and stress free. This is a garage apartment so be aware there are stairs but a very good place to stay while enjoying the beautiful area of Bar Harbor and Acadia.

Great experience

If you are going to Bar Harbor I highly recommend staying here. The location was relaxing and quiet, town is about 10 minutes away. The book of information on the table was fantastic. Everything that we needed was available to make our hiking trip enjoyable. The owners Gayle & Rob are fantastic and very knowledgeable. I am so glad that we skipped the hotel stay and enjoyed their place.

Wonderful Place

Really nice place, we were extremely happy there. The furnishings are solid quality which is hard to come by in rentals from our experience. Nicely decorated and very functional. Everything was there that we needed and the outdoor space was lovely and quiet. Seriously high value for the price, we were so grateful and will be back! Perfect for our family and such a great couple to rent from.

Perfect place near Acadia

It has everything we needed for a week off in Acadia: quite place with a wonderful landscape, one queen bed, a sofa converted into a comfortable bed for two, refrigerator, washing/drying, dishwasher, TV, wi-fi, a balcony with a grill, etc. We spent most of the time hiking: Jordan Pond, the Bubbles, the Ocean Path including Sand Beach and the Gorham Mountain, the Cadillac Mountain and the Dorr Mountain. Everything is very close to the property. We spent two evenings at Bar Harbor, a beautiful town 15 minutes from there. Don't miss crossing to the island during a low tide! The owners live in their house close to the property. They are ready to help and give great advices. Thanks!!!

Great lication outside of Bar Harbor

Welcoming hosts and apartment that lend to the perfect location for a relaxing trip to Maine. Conveniently located with a short drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia, made this a dream spot. Robert and Gayle went above and beyond with the preparation to our arrival and provided a clean and safe place to rest in between exploring MDI and surrounding area. Their informational guide book was essential and very much appreciated in our search for trails, restaurants, and local attractions. We would absolutely recommend this property and would love to return one day!

Perfect stay at Dragonfly woods

Gayle and Rob have been very communicative and gave some great tips already ahead of the trip. Property was very clean and equipped with everything we need (e.g. full kitchen, washer/dryer, heat & cool system, Grill ). Lots of attention to details too (paper towel, Alu foil, olive oil, tabs for dishwasher and washer…). Location is also perfect to reach Bar Harbor and National Park. Big plus was to be able to bring our dog and have ample space to let him run (even though it was not really needed after long days of hiking and biking ;-)

Fabulous stay

A wonderful stay at Dragonfly Woods! Gayle and Rob were nothing short of fantastic hosts. I had everything I could possibly need for my vacation. Very conveniently located just 10 minutes from downtown BarHarbor ,but a nice and quiet location. The rental was very clean and efficient. Gayle and Rob were there to answer any questions I had and Gayle went above and beyond with info for some rainy day activities as the weather for a few days wasn't going to be great. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to visit Bar Harbor and Acadia but stay away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor Village. I would definitely stay here again.

This apartment was comfortable and convenient to both sides of the island. Gayle and Rob were very available when I had questions, and very friendly. The apartment was clean and well equipped. Our children, 10 and 12 years old, slept on the pull out sofa and were comfortable. We even had room for the dog's crate! We would definitely stay here again!!

Fabulous Space

This is one of my favorite VRBO stays ever. Everything was wonderful! The apartment was very clean and everything you need is there, even for a lobster boil! The bed is super comfy too. Gayle and Rob both made sure our stay was exactly what we needed. Rob was able to advise on some water and RV generator issues we were having too. This spot is close to everything you would want to see on Mount Desert Island. There is bus service right nearby, so parking on the island doesn't have to be so crazy. We stayed here the month of July in 2023 and had a fantastic time. This is a great place to come home to after hiking, kayaking, visiting Bar Harbor, or spending the day at the beach. Just spending some time outside in the beautiful yard with the hammock or at the fire pit was very relaxing. I highly recommend this space.
