Great house in ideal location
We just spent a wonderful week at this property. As other reviewers have noted, the house is very spacious, clean and comfortable. Even more important, its location is ideal--about 10-12 minutes from the Hulls Cove Visitors Center if you want to get info or hop on a bus to a hiking trailhead; about 15 minutes to Bar Harbor, less to S.W. Harbor or N.E. Harbor. Janice, the owner, is extremely responsive. We already booked for next year, so that says it all!

Home from home
When you walk in the front door, this property feels like home. This home is perfect for 2 couples or a small family traveling together and is located in an ideal location from Bar Harbor. The recent addition of AC to the home made it all the more comfortable. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Janis! :)

Acadia Gemstone
Property was in a perfect location for easy access to all the Mount Desert Island attractions, especially Acadia National Park entrance. The house was very comfortable, kitchen very well equipped and in a pretty country location. It was so quiet at night I got the best sleep I’ve had in weeks. Beds very comfortable and bathrooms very spacious. Owners responded immediately when we had a minor issue. I’ll stay there again if we ever go back to Acadia.
