Wonderful Visit to Maine

We greatly enjoyed our stay Heron Pool. There were several small issues that we encountered but the caretaker was able to resolve them quickly. We met our host and he was wonderfully welcoming and made us feel like part of the family.

The location was excellent and on the whole the house was good. We did have a problem as we did not know there were stairs to the first floor bedroom. This caused a problem for my husband as he can no longer do stairs. We loved the deer and got two wonderful views of the bald eagle. The weather was great and the kids enjoyed the dock.

Great Location, Peaceful Stay

We had an enjoyable stay at Robert's property. There was plenty of space for the entire family, yet it still felt comfortable and cozy. The location was perfect for getting around Mt. Desert Island. The location by the water was incredibly peaceful.

Loved our stay!

This is a lovely home on a peaceful inlet with wildlife to observe, but just minutes away from so many Mount Desert Island attractions! The rooms were very pleasant, the view was beautiful and the caretaker was very responsive. Our family of 10 really enjoyed our stay in mid-August!

Beautiful location - convenient to Acadia & downtown Bar Harbor

This was the first time we stayed in this area of the island and it did not disappoint. It was an easy drive to Acadia National Park, downtown Bar Harbor, and the Bass Harbor lighthouse. The sunrises every morning over the water were spectacular, the house was homey and quaint with a well-stocked kitchen and plenty of space for our family of 5 and 2 significant others. Highly recommend!

Just perfect

Our party of 8 adults thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect for our group…close to several towns but secluded and private. The house was quaint, clean and well stocked. The homeowner and caretaker were quick to respond to any questions. We are so glad we chose Heron Pool!

Great location at the center of Acadia

Property is ideally located literally at the center of Acadia. Short drive to all the hikes and local attractions on Mt Desert Island. Very peaceful watching the tides roll in and out from the deck. Plenty of room in the house, which is well-maintained.

Perfect Multi-generation Girls Trip

This house was perfect for our family girls trip with three generations. The kitchen was very well stocked. Five bedrooms gave us plenty of room to sleep comfortably. There are several sitting areas including a nice sun room and deck. The view was amazing and we enjoyed watching the tide come in and out. Best of all was the location.to Acadia. Great house to create lasting memories!

Beautiful Stay in Mount Desert

We had a wonderful stay at Heron Pool. Our family gathering was an opportunity to visit Acadia National Park and this property was a perfect fit. We were so comfortable in this lovely home, so spacious, clean, and well stocked, and the outside shower and use of the dock were icing on the cake. Entrance to Acadia is a breeze, and a trip into Bar Harbor is a hop, skip and jump as well. We all loved the stay! Thank you Robert and Robin for sharing your beautiful home.
