About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Sunny , cozy 1-bedroom, wooded, private, central Island location, close to ocean

One bedroom with queen-sized bed, living room, one small bath with tub and shower. There is a small refrigerator & Keurig; no kitchen. Free wi-fi, but no television. A wi-fi "extender" has resolved the wi-fi problems some commenters have written about. There is a large couch which a toddler or a very young child would be comfortable sleeping on, but it is not a fold-out bed. This unit is above our garage with separate entrance via an outside staircase, please see pictures. If anyone has mobility issues, this is not the place for you! Includes access (up two steps) to a screened in balcony.

We are located in the Town Hill area. BH downtown is a 15-20 minute drive from here, using the charmingly and accurately named "Crooked Road." NE and SW Harbors and Ellsworth, are also each about a 15-minute drive away. It is an easy 10-minute walk to Maine Coast Heritage Trust's "Blue Horizons" Reserve to reach the ocean, and the Blagdon Nature Reserve is a 5-minute drive.

The loveliest little place to stay, you will feel like in your own private cabin in the woods. Hosts provided a lot of privacy and were ready to accommodate our every need. Every little detail in the place is thought through, so it felt like we were visiting a family and they were trying to do their best to make us feel welcomed. The property looks and feels even better than the pics suggest, honestly. Highly recommend!

The pictures do not do this place justice. Very clean and on a gorgeous property. Close to everything you’d want to do on the island. We also tried a few of the restaurants recommended by our host and enjoyed them all!

Little apartment near Acadia

This was a neat little apartment in the woods and our stay was very comfortable! The bed slept well and the temperature control was simple and worked very well. Only thing we missed was a microwave. Otherwise very convenient! It was also within a short distance of Acadia National Park and made a very handy spot to return to each evening.

Peaceful Getaway Close to the Park!

This property was stunning and I loved getting to enjoy the peacefulness of it surrounded by trees. The location couldn’t have been better and was so convenient to everything on Mount Desert Island. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay in the area.

Great location to Acadia National Park

We stayed here for two nights while visiting Acadia and Bar Harbor. The guest suite was impeccably clean and had everything to make us comfortable. It was a nice place to come back to after long hikes and crowds in town because it was private and peaceful. Very enjoyable!

Very lovely spot in a quiet wooded area with a great central location on the island. Comfortable and clean. There were magical tiny lights on the large trees outside that made it fun. Also come nice walking trails nearby. We loved it there and would definitely go back.

Quiet, convenient stay near Acadia NP

The host was easy to reach and gave us heads up on where to book reservations early for special sights( Cadillac Mountain and Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden), location was only 15-20 minutes from key sights, accommodation offered good value. Be aware that there are steep steps and a tight bathroom. However, the unit was the perfect place for our timing and budget.

Exactly as advertised/excellent host

The location is very private, but it is still very close to the location’s attractions. Our host was excellent. Communication was quick and helpful, the property was clean and well stocked, and check-in/check out was simple. The only thing I can think of that would improve the property would be a microwave.

Absolutely lovely! This is a room on the second floor above the garage, with a side staircase. The hosts have thought about literally everything putting a lot of care and effort in making guests feel totally at home. All the instructions for temperature control are there on the table, there is a Keurig with plenty of coffee pods and a kettle. A canister with water sits on the shelf for ease of pouring. A refrigerator is present as well. All sorts of brochures and maps for exploring the area are on the coffee table, along with the hosts’ recommendations for where to eat and what to see. The bed was supercomfy with a warm and heavy blanket. A whole bookcase full of books and board games is along one wall. The hosts were easy to get in touch with right from the start. When I noticed that shampoo was missing, I texted them, and shampoo was brought up right to the door almost immediately. Wifi was superfast as well. Make sure to climb onto the screened-in balcony overlooking the lawn and the trees behind the house. I was there in late fall, so it was a tad too cold to enjoy, but nevertheless it was a charming setting to sip coffee or tea in. It had not been easy to find accommodation close to Acadia NP, I had looked almost everywhere and everything that was left was too expensive until I came across this secluded spot, off the side, but very close.

Cozy place to stay!

The unit is above a garage. There's plenty of privacy and it's very well set up, provided that you don't expect to cook food - which the hosts tell you is not allowed. There is a small fridge, hot pot and Keurig with mugs, paper cups, utensils etc. We had every convenience we wanted and greatly enjoyed our stay. It is only about 15 minutes from Acadia National Park.
