We had a wonderful time in Bar Harbor and surrounding area and the location of the VRBO could not have been better! The hosts were wonderful to deal with and even left us the makings for blueberry pancakes and coffee so that we didn't have to shop prior to our first morning.

The location is central, so easy to get to attractions on both sides of the island. Very peaceful settings to relax after a full day out hiking and stocked with everything we needed. The host was responsive and answered all our questions in a timely manner.

My mom and I had a great stay at Kathy's place. It was easy to get to different points in Acadia and we appreciated the quiet location nestled in the woods. Kathy was quick to respond and provided lots of information about nearby restaurants and things to do in the area. Both Kathy and her place were a real gem!

Great place to stay!

Kathy’s house was a gem on Mt Desert Island, tucked away from the crowds, yet close to Bar Harbor and the park. The house was well stocked with amenities, basically everything you need for your stay with a bonus of frozen Maine blueberries, pancake mix, butter and syrup to prepare a delicious pancake breakfast the first morning. Highly recommended for your visit in the area.

Acadia home base

We had a wonderful time staying here as our home base while exploring Acadia with our kids. We appreciated the quieter pace away from Bar Harbor while still being able to easily get to all hikes and restaurants in town. Great recommendations from the hosts, property exactly as described, well stocked kitchen, easy communication — would recommend across the board!

House had everything we needed. Plenty of kitchen essentials, towels and hangers in the closets. Perfect location to explore Acadia and the quiet side of the island. The lakes were great for kayaking. Every place we chose for dinner were delicious. Host was always responsive to text messages. Great place to visit. Don’t miss out booking Eden House.

Great place with great hosts in a great location

Eden House was a comfy house with a large yard that my dog loved. The owners were quick to answer any questions and even offered to send me some items I left behind. I loved the location in Town Hill since it allows you to avoid the hustle and bustle of downtown Bar Harbor with easy access to Acadia Park and several dining options nearby.

Amazing location for visiting Acadia and Bar Harbor, close to everything without dealing with the crowds in a lovely house in the woods that took us back in time. Clean, quiet, comfy 50s feel. Well-supplied with a lovely host and great communication.

Convenient to all points of MDI

Nice and quiet location that has easy access to all points of MDI. We had Lobster rolls at Beal's in Southwest Harbor, visited the lighthouse at Bass Harbor, drove over to Bar Harbor, and thoroughly enjoyed the Park Loop road and all the hikes we took in. Eden House worked great for us giving us the much appreciated relaxation at the end of a busy day!

Lovely, comfortable house. Quiet location. Host very communicative and helpful. You do need to drive to most places on the island from here (my husband was hoping the island shuttle bus would be more useful but i thought driving was easy and most places were within 29 minutes)

We loved the location and proximity to the park for our daily outings. House was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Communication with Kathy was excellent. We walked to Atlantic brewery, it was delicious and we even went back a second night. Did Abel’s down the road for seafood. We shopped in Ellsworth before arriving at the house. A++

Home Away from Home

We loved our stay at Kathy's home. It felt like our home away from home. The house is set back from the main road surrounded by many tall trees. You don't hear any traffic noise, only the sounds of birds singing. The property is quite large with a massive fire pit that we enjoyed multiple times during our stay. The location was perfect for our family. Great lobster dinner options were minutes away along with amazing barbecue at Atlantic Brewery Mainly Meats. We will definitely rebook with Kathy the next time we visit Maine.
