Beautiful House and View

House and view were beautiful! Large enough for people to have their own space and great common areas to be together. Location next to Town Hill restaurants was perfect, and quick drive to Bar Harbor or Acadia. Would recommend and would stay again.

We loved this property—private, wooded, clean, and big enough to host six family members.While staying here, we read books on the deck and enjoyed the tree-line view and bay in the distance. Several of the sunsets were beautiful. And we did see several deer on two occasions.

Private hideaway on Mt Desert Is

Large house on secluded, wooded property with stunning sunset views over Mt Desert Narrows and access to nature trails down to the water. Far enough from the tourist hordes, but a short 20-min drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia NP when it’s your turn to be the tourist.

Treetops Bliss

Wonderful place for peace and serenity, beautiful sunsets and easy access to all island trails and locations. During our stay a hurricane blew through the area and communication with the owner was excellent. We have stayed at this rental property for many years because we think it is the best to be if you are looking for rest and relaxation.

Five stars!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Tree Tops. The house was comfortable, well stocked and clean. We enjoyed exploring the cove trail and the gorgeous sunsets from the back deck. Estimated travel time to key Acadia locations was 15-30 minutes from the house - totally manageable. Definitely take time to explore the Quiet Side of the island which is easily accessible from this location. Would absolutely return in the future!

Perfect week with great views.

This home was perfect for my family. It is spacious and clean; and the views are beautiful! While at this property, there are no other humans in sight!!! We did see a few deer and chipmunks! The back deck is the perfect place to relax and unwind. The location is within 20-25 minutes of all the hikes we did throughout the island. We all feel relaxed and refreshed after a week away at this lovely property.

Friend Trip to Maine

The location is fabulous and the house is very cozy. A downstairs bedroom and bath if anyone has trouble with the stairs and three bedrooms upstairs-one is a wonderful master suite with it's own bath and a sitting room. The other two bedrooms share a bath. Gorgeous views from most of the rooms and a path in the back leading down to a private cove. Definitely plan on going back next year with my family!!

One more national park

This place is awesome and the hosts are great! On a quest to visit national parks, we decided on Acadia. This property was conveniently located to all kinds of Arcadia adventures. The house was super clean and well stocked with everything needed for the week’s stay. Lots of space to move around the house, even with six of us in the house. The views are incredible and the walk to the cove was really nice. The large deck was a great place to relax, enjoy a meal, and just hang out. Would definitely recommend it!

Great sunsets

This was the perfect size house for our family of six. Lots of room and a big great deck. They aren’t kidding when they called this the quiet side of the island it’s 20 minutes to Bar Harbor or to SW. Harbor or to Acadia. Bar harbor is so congested and parking is such a problem. We did finally find a large parking lot across from the side street café. our favorite restaurants were Beals lobster the Terrace Grill and Side St cafe. Our stay was great. Thank you.

Tucked Away Bar Harbor Gem

I stayed at Jennifer's house for a week with my husband and young adult son. We absolutely loved the property! It was off the beaten track, surrounded by forest with its own private cove that was so much fun to walk to on a short hike. We loved that we were surrounded by such beautiful nature, away from the hubbub, yet no more than 25 to 30 minutes of a drive away from Bar Harbor and other adorable, scenic towns. The home was very comfortable with a tremendous amount of space, extremely well maintained and very clean. Jennifer, the owner, was quick to respond any time I had a question. We would love to stay at this home again on our next visit to the area.

The Treetops House was everything we hoped it would be and then some! The VRBO pics accurately depict the house, but the location and views were better than we could have dreamed. Upon first arriving at the property, we saw a doe and fawn off the back deck. And later in the week, a 9-pt buck greeted us as we drove up to the house after a day exploring the island. We heard seals barking in the distance the last night of our stay and were warmed and rejuvenated by the beautiful sunsets. The host and owner were so gracious and kind when a minor, unexpected plumbing issue arose, and my only regret is that I didn't get to meet them and thank them in person for sharing their beautiful property with me and my family. I highly recommend the Treetop House and will reminisce about our time there for years to come!

For a family of 6, the house worked well. Seating for 8 in a living area is hard to find.The deck was nice, even if the mosquitoes limited our use of it a bit. This wasn't really an issue because of the VIEW - from any window! The walk down to the cove is really magical with amazing ferns and other woodland plants. However, at least in June, don't go early in the morning and if you do go later, layer on the bug spray. The house is about 20-30 minutes from Bar Harbor; we did a lot of driving. Southeast and Northeast Harbors were a bit closer. Popovers at the Asticou were quite dear; we expected that. However, we were so glad to have gone. In spite of being fresh off a hike and tour of Thuya garden, they welcomed us with good grace. The popovers, good coffee, service and view from the deck were well worth it. We went on a whale watching cruise with Bar Harbor Whale Watching. They were very accommodating, helping us reschedule out cruise to avoid the rain. We had a lovely calm day and did see 5 whales, different birds and a harbor porpoise (very cute). It's a steep ticket for 6, but we were glad to have done it.Some of us roused ourselves for the sunrise hike up Cadillac Mtn. We powered through a bike ride around the 3 lakes and enjoyed the stroll around Jordan Pond. Thunder Hole - it seems an incoming storm is required to inspire the effect. Having said that, we explored the shoreline and tide pools. All in all, a lovely week. Thank you to our hostesses!
