Acadia National Park is a 40-minute drive from this home, situated on Mt. Desert Island. And close to Bar Harbor. The landscape is marked by woodland, rocky beaches, and granite peaks such as Cadillac Mountain.
Tour the island with a walk on Park Loop Road. Downtown Bar Harbor is a 50-minute drive away. Discover new dining options, art galleries, and whale watching tours.
The public golf course, Blink Bonnie Golf Links, is less than 5 minutes away from this home for hassle-free days on the fairway.
The house was very well stocked & the furnishings were comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need to cook, including spices, although we ate most of our lunch & dinners out. Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound (on the way in to Bar Harbor) has tbe best lobsters. They are steamed in sea water. The view at the house is spectacular & it's a great location. We love exploring so it was easy to get to Acadia Nat'l Park,(a must see) (we had to go to Jordan Pond for their famous popovers). Bar Harbor, Moosehead Lake. Tidal Falls is nearby the house & worth going where we saw seals. Camden is a beautiful coastal town to visit, as well. Our first trip to Maine & we are already planning another!

A beautiful house in a beautiful setting with all of the comforts of home.One suggestion: a new mattress in the upstairs bedroom with the fireplace.

We recently complete a stay and enjoyed the property very much. There was plenty of space for the four guests in our party, and having the two bedrooms upstairs was nice to let the kids have some privacy. (though the upstairs bedrooms we found to be a bit warm compared to downstairs, probably no problem at all during the winter) We played games in the yard and ping pong downstairs, enjoyed plenty of peaceful time sitting on the deck overlooking the water. The kids enjoyed exploring the shore when the tide was out, but it was pretty muddy in places. Be prepared to drive a bit to get food, but it worked okay for us as we stopped for groceries on the way in. We made some dinners there, but we took advantage of being a close enough drive (50 min) to Acadia to really enjoy the park. Often eating an early dinner before heading back to the house for the evening.
Very spacious well stocked house. Clean throughout, awesome deck, and fast internet. Lots of activities including table tennis, darts, fire pit and beautiful views. About 40ish minutes to Acadia/ Bar harbor and about 30 or so minutes to Schoodic which is fantastic. The drive to Acadia or Bar harbor is actually very scenic and there is a smaller grocery store right on the way. Three kids between 10-12 and whole family had a very nice relaxing one week vacation. We have stayed in many rental properties in the past so the only minor suggestion would be to add a hot tub to the place and make it even better...but it is Maine so don't know how practical that would be. Other than that if you are looking for Acadia/Bar Harbor vacation, this is an excellent option.
