Great Location

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and looking forward to staying here whenever we’re back in Bar Harbor! The house is a great location - it’s has great privacy while being just a few minutes to Bar Harbor for shopping and restaurants and to Acadia for sight seeing and hiking trails. The house was well stocked with ample sets of towels, shampoo conditioner and wash, kitchen supplies, and board games / entertainment. Was spacious enough for 5 adults and clean.

Acadia trip

Good location and easy quick drive to get in to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor downtown but property interior is quite worn and garbage bags under front stairs had noxious smell that precluded opening windows (no AC in house) in bedroom due to smell permeating the house.

Do not stay here.

They were toadstools growing on the floor of one of the bathrooms when we arrive. One night we were flooded in the basement by rain and had to leave.

Just ok

The back deck was great for hosting lots of people and so was the kitchen table. Comfortable beds and pillows. Plenty of room for parking. Unfortunately not well stocked. 2 rolls of toilet paper for 10 people 5 days is not going to cut it. Also only 4 towels, no trash bags or sponge in the kitchen. Took 2 days to get the supplies needed from vacasa.

Surrounded by the Park!

Really nice house and kitchen. Andy the location is great. You can quickly go to Bar Harbor, or you can avoid it altogether if you want. Easy access to trails, the Loop Road, Cadillac Mountain, etc. We got a reservation and then drove to the summit of Cadillac Mountain in significantly less than an hour. As a bonus, my youngest son (19) and I saw a young Buck as we were loading the car to leave. We just stared at the Buck for about a minute as a guess. Then it turned and left, its' hooves completely silent as it seemed to float away.

Great house well designed and managed but requires few upgrades

We stayed for five days. It is good for 11 people. Rooms are fair sized. There were only two bathrooms. The house needs an additional powder room at least . Shower spaces were really small. There was moldy smell in the downstairs bedrooms. Upstairs bedroom may need a ceiling fan. Cleaning staff needs to do a better job. Loved the deck siting area and premium grill. Overall our experience was great!

Great location, lots of potential, needs better cleaning, and updates.

Stove was greasy, pink mold inside the 5 dehumidifiers, grass needed mowed, 100s of dead ants in game room/garage that could easily be swept up, cobwebs in windows. Emptying 5 dehumidifiers that filled up in less than 24 hours got old quick! Not really what I thought I was paying for. This house is in great location and has a lot of potential but needs a good clean, some updates, and some kind of solution to the mugginess on the lower floor that doesn’t require vacationers to empty 5 dehumidifiers at least once daily.

Good location, lots of space, but very worn, smelled

We chose the property because of the location along with the amount of indoor and outdoor space. The location was great, along with the amount of bedrooms and outdoor space. The property is much more worn than appears in photos. All carpets appear stained, the shower curtains were orange with mildew, walls dinged and scuffed. When we arrived the house stunk- a mildew smell particularly on the lower level where 3 of us were sleeping. I notified the manager and they did send someone about 24 hours later who emptied 3 dehumidifiers that helped with the issue. The question is how long was that water sitting there? The house had clearly been cleaned prior to our arrival, beds made, clean towels. We ran the dehumidifiers constantly during our stay and they needed to be emptied continuously. It always smelled but never as bad as when we arrived.

Great Location

We loved how close this home was to everything when visiting Acadia National Park. It was easy to get to and from everywhere and made our whole trip enjoyable. The house was great with lots of space and the kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary items to make your own meals. A great place to stay!

Weekend Getaway!

Good big property for a family vacation! Peaceful and quiet atmosphere. Good price for the area. Be aware, there is only 4 private bedrooms, 2 are in the basement and you need to run dehumidifiers and empty constantly.

Disappointing Stay

Six moms stayed here for a fall getaway. On a positive note, the house was in a convenient area in between downtown and Acadia National Park. The cleaning staff also did a good job. The property manager allowed us a more flexible check out time, which was appreciated. However, this was probably our least favorite vacation rental out of several trips. The bathrooms were small and outdated. One of them only has a tiny shower with a flimsy curtain and the other has mildew stains around the tub. The bedroom with the bunk beds has black stains in the carpet near the door. Several bedrooms did not have a closet. The living space is very small. The fire place is blocked off, but still has a raised stone area that juts out - watch your toes. The TV volume seemed to be fading out; hard to hear conversations when watching a movie. This property could benefit from fixing the fireplace or adding a fire pit or hot tub. We would not stay here again unless it is updated.

Family gathering

Almost a perfect fit- masterbedroom for us, private bedroom for newly weds, "apartment" for couple & 2 children, loft for teenager, small bunk room for a single. Incredibly furnished kitchen. Could have used another fan. Tv reception-barely. Driveway hard to locate.

Great Acadia Spot

The house was clean and had everything you needed. It was a nice layout and slept everyone comfortably. The only issue was that the house was extremely hot when we were there. There is no air conditioning so it was a bit muggy in the house. Other than that, it was a great location right near the park and right near some popular trails. Would recommend, just not in a heat wave.

Awesome Location

This property is located very near an entrance to Acadia National Park. We were able to easily access the park loop road, and get right to attractions like Cadillac Mountain, Thunder hole, and Sand Beach. The deck is great, comes equipped with a grill, and could easily accommodate a large group.

Probably just bad luck. Things happen.

Trash related issues. Previous guest trash filled all the available barrels. Trash bags were not available and we had nowhere to put trash etc. and then the animals overturned the barrels of previous guests which led to a daily clean up in the driveway by our group. Also, many missing light bulbs and sparse supplies. My guess is simply very busy house and there simply was not time to replenish the house for our group. It was also very very hot inside at night.

Great house in amazing location!

Awesome rental right in the heart of Acadia. Just a few mins to Bar Harbor and to the famous Acadia trails. Tons of light, great patio for stargazing. Checkin and checkout was a breeze! Just note that there is no AC, if you're renting in summer months. However, this isn't a huge issue as it gets quite chilly at night! Overall fantastic house and great layout too! Highly recommend!
