Great Maine Getaway

We had a great time during our stay at this property. The views are amazing and it was close enough for our day trips to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. We also loved the use of the kayaks.

Great place for us. We wanted a week of nothing to charge batteries before holidays. It was cold and snowed but we had a roaring fire every night. This house is supplied better than any VRBO I have ever used. They had everything you could think of. Beautiful waterfront views of sunrise, sunset and moon. Could see Cadillac mountain right out the bedroom window.

This was absolutely perfect for our family. The location was wonderful for everything we planned to do. The house was furnished with anything we had need for. The deck is perfect for relaxing by the ocean. The shoreline was fun to explore. Actually, we would rate it a 10. One of the best houses we have rented!

We loved the views

Amazing views of Mt Desert Island and the Narrows. We really enjoyed the views off the deck, exploring the delightfully rocky beach, and watching seals feed in the water. The house is stocked with everything you need - way better than the average vacation home. Plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable. We were very sad to leave such a peaceful, pleasant place. Delightful experience and grateful to have stayed here.

Perfect location for everything we wanted to do! We loved the solitude and the gorgeous deck. We had the beach all to ourselves - the water was calm most mornings, perfect for kayaking with the seals. The interior furnishings are a quirky, eclectic mix of pieces. The living room and other common room couches are in need of replacement - they are not comfortable - but the views of the water made up for that inconvenience.
