The apartment is accessed by a wide set of stairs made of oak. Upon entering the apartment there is a teratine tile floor in the kitchen, that transitions onto an oak floor in an open layout. In the middle of the space is a small table that seats four, including an oak church pew . A small siting area (with fold out futon) in the family room area has several windows that look into the trees. Three sky light tunnels bring light into the room. The oak, tile, and warm paint make the living/dining/family area relaxing, and the perfect spot for 2-3 people. The front half of the unit has a bedroom on one end, an office/study/den/sleeping area in the middle and a tiled bathroom with custom built walk-in shower, along with washer and dryer on the other end. The office/study/den has a full sky light that brings light into the center of the unit. The kitchen is fully equipped with oak kitchen cabinets and all the basic kitchen necessities. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Thin carpet in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the mountains - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Swimming nearby - Whale watching nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 650 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available Minimum check-in age - 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM Contactless check-out ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).

It was the one filter that i used for our vacation and it was not on the property. I heard about it my entire vacation. This should probably be fixed going forward. Other than that, the property was clean, neat, and secluded. It was also the perfect distance to Bar Harbor and other activities. ##### Christopher M.

Also there’s no coffee pot, but there is a bean grinder, which doesn’t make sense. There is nowhere to put the soap in the shower or on the bathroom sink—soap dishes would help. And someone was definitely coming in the apartment while we were out, presumably the owner doing his laundry in the bathroom? We weren’t told that that was going to happen, which was unsettling. ##### Melanie D.

We loved staying here. It was just 15 mins away from Bar harbor, many locations within Acadia sight-seeing and activities. Beautiful skylight in one of the bedroom and very clean, functional bedroom/bathroom/kitchen/appliances. Separate apartment access avoids any complications with people around or COVID fear. TV has DirectTV connection with Prime/Netflix and WIFI was great. Michael was such a gentleman and provided clear directions, great tips about the stay and activities as well. We will definitely stay here again next time! regards, Vijay ##### Vijayan E.

Mike was a great host, and he made sure to tell me to use a specific intersection in Maine to get to the property. I used it the first time, but then on day 3 things got funny with my google maps and I lost signal and had to put in the address again... ended up at two different places in Maine with the exact same address! haha but the place was fine and it was great to have access to a washer dryer for all my filthy hiking clothes. :) ##### Renee H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra H. 9 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic place. This place is slightly off the beaten track -secluded setting with lots of privacy and very quiet. It's cozy and spacious and has a great kitchen where you could prepare meals and store lots of food. It was very clean and cozy. Pam and Mike were excellent hosts and made me feel very welcome. They also gave me info and maps which helped me find some great places on the island to walk. All-and all a great place to stay and I hope I can go back sometime. ##### Sandra H.
