Quiet home, close to Acadia, Bar Harbor and more

We have family in the area and stayed at this property before. It is a large 3 bedroom, 2 bath house. It has a very big kitchen and large dining table. We actually just had breakfast there before heading out for the day since it is convenient to Ellsworth for shopping (Walmart, Hanover, LL Bean outlet) and close to all the places we wanted to visit (Bar Harbor, Schoodic, Bass Harbor Head). The house is clean and well provisioned and has a large driveway. A big change since 2022 when we stayed previously is the addition of Samsung mini-split A/C & heating units in the living room and 2 bedrooms. We didn't know how they worked (it would help to have instructions in the binder), but didn't need them since the weather this time of year was nice. This is one of the best VRBO places we've stayed at.

Maine is great!

We’re from FL and this was our first trip to Maine. We’re retired and in our 70’s. The house was super clean and nicely equipped (we traded dishwashing duty!). Easy to get in and out of. The king suite had a comfortable bed and accessible shower. We got a little chilly a couple mornings but couldn’t figure the heat, so we just on more clothes! Nothing serious! The area is very quiet and we felt very safe/secure there. We didn’t cook much, we did enjoy Helen’s, Riverside Cafe, and Finelli NY Pizza. We were most interested in seeing Acadia NP, this is about a 30 minute drive, easy! It is amazing and very crowded. Get out early. Our host was very responsive and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will be back!

We spent several days in Acadia and Bar Harbor and it was great to come home to this quiet, peaceful home on a country setting. We would definitely come here again in the future

My family of 4 (children are young adults) had a relaxing time. The location was about a 30 minute drive outside of Bar Harbor and the entrance to Acadia National Park which was very convenient. The property was spotless, comfortable and exactly as described! Thank you for hosting our family!

Perfect house for Maine vacation

We drove from Texas to visit family in Hancock. We were a party of 4: Mom, Dad, and 2 adult children. This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house was perfect for us. It had everything we might need. Since we have relatives living 2 miles away we only made breakfast there. It is close to the road but so quiet we never heard any traffic. The beds were comfortable and showers were great. It is only 40 min from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We would definitely stay there again on our next visit.

Quiet Neighborhood Great House

The house is exactly what the ad says. It is a great space in a quiet neighborhood. We had a good time. We loved the outdoor sitting area and fire pit. The only thing to consider in hot summer days is there is no AC in any of the bedrooms and the fans provided won't help much. Also there is no dish washer so be prepared to do the dishes yourself. I would still recommend staying if you are ok with these things.
