Sure, there were a few nuisances (bedroom ceiling fans not working; first floor AC was essentially one downstairs window unit) but overall the place was clean and decoration was representing the Victorian era. ##### Ashley B.

From the moment we arrived, to the moment we left- we felt like we were just there visiting family. Check-in was super straight-forward and easy, and the layout of the house immediately made sense. Being tucked away in a slower paced area was a good break from our busy visits to Bar Harbor. Really enjoyed Beal's Lobster Pier on our first night there. The house is also a very short drive from the Bass Harbor lighthouse which is incredible. All of the furnishings, appliances, dishes, etc were upscale and felt homey. Not like someone just furnished the place to rent it out. The owner's were very nice and accommodating, nothing but positive things to say about them. Overall this place felt like a vacation spot that I'd be excited to return to over and over again. ##### Adam P.

This property instead felt like we were being welcomed to stay at a favorite aunt and uncle’s home, with good quality furnishings, bedding, etc... It was cozy, warm, and comfortable in every aspect. It doesn’t feel cheap, but more like no expense was spared. Communication was also great - we had an issue with the TV and I messaged the host. The reply was almost instant, with another to have it replaced within a few hours. Proximity to Acadia was nice as well. It’s about a half hour drive to Bar Harbor and a 5 minute drive a couple short hikes along the coast. It’s also just a 5 minute drive to the Bass Harbor lighthouse, which is uncrowded and a gorgeous place to welcome the sunrise. I would stay here again and highly recommend this property. ##### Christine B.
