We had the pleasure of staying at this house in the beginning of October while my family and I explored Acadia National Park and we had such a wonderful time! The house is absolutely beautiful - there was plenty of room for us to enjoy burgers on the grill together on the spacious front porch, and for us all to have dinner together at the large dining room table. Taking a dip in the hot tub and cuddling up on the couches in the living room for family movie night was a perfect end to our night after a long day of hiking. The location was perfect - about 10 minutes from the park, the grocery store, and Bar Harbor. To improve future guests' stays, we would recommend the property owner to communicate through VRBO prior to the trip. We had several questions leading up to the trip that were not answered. Adding a fire pit to the back porch to make s’mores would be a huge plus. The upstairs showers were also difficult to operate. Reading the other reviews, we saw that other guests have had similar problems working the showers. Perhaps adding a laminated set of operating instructions on the vanities would be helpful for future guests. We also noticed the frying pans and the dutch oven were in poor condition and could use a thorough cleaning or be replaced entirely. Overall, we absolutely loved the house and would be so happy to stay here again next time we come up to Maine! We highly recommend this property to anyone looking to visit Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor!
