Good location, great outdoor space

I stayed in this house with my husband an four year old daughter. It was a good location in that it was near many things to do--we drove about a half hour for a Puffin tour, and about 40 minutes to Acadia and Bar Harbor.

Different experience being away from Bar Harbor. We have enjoyed the solitude of the area and quiet part of the Acadia. The property is very clean and has all conveniences of home away from home.
