Express Visit To Acadia
We drove from Missouri with our 37 foot trailer not realizing all the parks for camping would be closed. We almost turned back but decided to leave our trailer in Old Orchard Beach and on a whim, found this lovely peaceful retreat for our brief visit to Acadia National Park. We saw ANP in a day, even hiked. When we came back to our rental the pond was glass like conditions so we pulled our own kayaks onto the water (even though they have plenty of boats for the offering) for a sweet float. The bed is super comfortable but I suggest bringing your own pillow for your personal comfort. The shower is great as well as the other amenities. For such a small space it feels big. The dock just 30 feet from the door was special and it felt like we were in our own little paradise. I would stay here again but I would definitely make it longer!

Cozy small studio in the woods perfect for a weekend away
My wife and I had a nice stay in this cozy studio in the woods. It's on a quiet pond on the west side of the island approximately half an hour from Bar harbor. It had everything we needed. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful Location
This cozy cabin was perfect for a week of hiking, biking in Acadia and enjoying the Bar Harbor area. Very efficient space with a beautiful view to enjoy every morning. We were very happy with the accommodations and will hopefully return someday.

First Time Maine Vacation
This is a wonderful rental! Very clean and in a beautiful location out of the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. Close to hiking trails and shopping. We had a wonderful time but ended up leaving a day early due to the Hurricane Lee. Would recommend this rental if you like a private and secluded area.

Private cozy cabin just close enough to all of MDI
Quiet cabin on a pristine pond bordered by Acadia National Park. We enjoyed the kayaks for a paddle with a loon, the misty mornings, and the easy drive to Southeast and Bar Harbors.
