Quiet house away from the hustle

Loved the 2 bed rooms on the first floor and the cooler downstairs room to have family time for fun and games. All the amenities you need for a family or just a couples get away! Great communication with the owners. Nice walk to Hadley Beach for some sunsets.

A peaceful retreat close to Acadia!

This house was absolutely perfect for our week long vacation. It was peaceful and quiet and exactly as described. The owner (Aaron) was quick to respond to our questions the house’s various amenities made our stay incredibly enjoyable. This property is within an easy walk to Hadley Cove (a small dog friendly beach) and peaceful neighborhoods for strolling. We would absolutely return and highly recommend Abby Lane!

Nice house near Bar Harbor

We loved our off-season stay at this little house. Comfy, close to Bar Harbor and Acadia and includes the conveniences of home. Just a few minutes walk to a nearby stone beach. Grateful to have a place like this to bring our dog on the trip! Host communication was responsive and helpful. Only good things to say about this VRBO property.

Bar Harbor in the woods

Very nice, quaint place in the woods, with easy access to town and Acadia National Park. It was cold and windy with snow but the house was cozy and warm. Our favorite accouterment in the house was the large pot we boiled our lobsters in!

Cozy Cottage

Abby Lane was exactly as described! Quiet and relaxing location. The basement portion would be great if older children came along. The main house was perfect for 4 adults and 2 dogs. Aaron was very quick to respond with any questions. Highly recommend booking Abby Lane!

Great service turns lemons into lemonade

Our group had a couple of unfortunate events upon our arrival and exit were all completely smoothed over by Aaron and his team through near instant communication and attention to detail that made our stay the enjoyable and memorable experience it was. The place is 10-15 minutes from Bar Harbor that made easy access to everything. The beds were great and the kitchen had everything we needed. When you have a host willing to go above and beyond, the VRBO vacations are all the better!

Perfect quiet getaway

We truly enjoyed our stay at Abby Lane. The basement was perfect for our teenager. We loved how there were board games to play with the family and also many local brochures to help with planning. We appreciate how there were plenty starting products such as toilet paper, paper towels, dish detergent, dish soap, and plenty of extra towels. The washer and dryer were a huge bonus! Having a stocked kitchen was incredibly helpful for breakfast each morning and we even noticed a large pot for cooking lobster! Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor kept us very busy but the quiet walk to the beach from the property was the perfect way to start or end our days.

Abby Lane was great

Our family had a lovely stay at Abby Lane. It was clean, quiet, and nestled in the woods. The upstairs had an adequately stocked kitchen, with a table and chairs, comfortable living room, two bedrooms and a full bath. There is a lovely deck that looks out into the woods. The lower level is very cool (layout and temperature), has a couch that folds out into a bed, a large sectional and tv, a shower and washer/dryer. They also provide some fun games that allowed us to have great laughs. The location is close to Acadia and Bar Harbor. If you don't wish to drive but want the water, there is a beach a short walk down the road. The hosts were accurate in their pictures and description of the property and also very responsive to questions. We give it a 5 out of 5! Even our little doggy liked it. Note, they provide pet sheets and they keep them separate from the people sheets. A very thoughtful gesture! Thank you! And we would all definitely stay there again!

Nice cabin in the woods

This was a nice cabin in the woods. The one strange thing is the downstairs is not connected to the upstairs in side the house. You have to go outside to get into the downstairs. We didn’t need the downstairs for sleeping so it was not an issue for us. Cabin is very cute and I loved all the personal artwork. Well stocked with dishes, towels, blankets, etc.

Very cute and cozy cottage in a fabulous location. The national park is less than 15 minute drive away.The Bar Harbor lobster pound is five minutes away and we ate there twice! Just at the end of the road, 10 minute walk down the hill, is a beautiful beach, Hadley point, where you can collect mussels and bring them home and cook them! Which I did and it was a very fun experience. Plus the sunset there is spectacular. The cabin itself is clean and had everything we needed. Wi-Fi and TVs worked well. It does have some little quirks. The water pressure in the kitchen sink is basically a dribble, which was weird because the dishwasher and other fixtures were normal. As someone else pointed out, the whole downstairs is not connected to the upstairs- in order to get to the downstairs you have to go outside and around and back in the back door. So we basically stayed in the upstairs the whole time. This was a shame because the downstairs, once we ventured there, is very modern and full of wonderful things- big TV, couches games, laundry. it is basically a wasted level unless you make it a point to go down there. Communication with the hosts was good.

Nice little house/cabin

We had a very nice stay. The place is cute and rustic. The queen bed was extremely firm to the point of uncomfortable, but if you like a very firm mattress then you will be happy. Hosts were kind and house was in a very nice location.
