A lovely stay

Perfect for a trip with a group of friends, would definitely stay here again! The house was perfect for our group (3 couples + 2 siblings), great location for any outings across the island, and plenty of space for us to hang out or eat in without feeling on top of each other. Owner was very helpful and friendly

Nice stay close from the National Park and Bar Harbor

We liked our stay at Edie's place. We were a large group of 8 and were easily accommodated in the house. The house is quiet and well equipped for a large group and is conveniently located from the National park and Bar Harbor. I would definitely recommend the place.

Lovely house close to Acadia

This is a very well kept old house, full of New England charm, well stocked, with very comfortable beds. It's super convenient to Acadia and Bar Harbor without being in the middle of the hubbub. We had a lovely time!

Great Location

Lots of space in a great location, away from the traffic of Bar Harbor and close to the truly lovely Seal Cove area. Outdoor deck looks over a forest. Easy to get to Park entrance and use their buses. Owner was very helpful. Second bathroom on second floor is quite tiny, but not a problem.

Perfect spot to explore Arcadia & Bar Habor!

Edie’s place was perfect for our family getaway! Great location - 15 minutes to Acadia hikes (Cadillac & Beehive) and easy stroll (.5 miles) to Seal Harbor beach. Restaurants of Bar Harbor are a short drive which makes this rental a great choice. The house it self is huge and well stocked with everything you need for a group trip. Great value for the stay!

Seal Harbor Happy

Perfect location - quiet, friendly and close to hiking and biking. Good nearby restaurant and great bike rental/store - but not crowded like Bar Harbor. Edie was very flexible with us and super-fast to answer questions and give great suggestions. House was well-stocked. We are already planning our next visit!

Acadia National Park Visit

The home is perfect for visiting Acadia National Park. It has plenty of room for the family. The location to the park is great. The area is quiet and has a diner and coffee shop a short walk away. You could also walk to the pick up for the Island explorer if needed. We would definitely stay again.

Traveling with a group of cyclists and this house was just perfect. Just outside the park and not too far from Bar Harbor. Host was great and the garage with sofas was a sweet place to land after a day riding the park and Cadillac Mtn.

We loved our stay! Best VRBO experience yet!

Knowing Maine well, we know how rare it is to find a place like this to stay in on MDI. The house itself is clean, incredibly spacious and charming and...then there's the location!!! Right beside Acadia, walk to the beach, sit on the back deck and watch birds while sipping morning coffee. The host was prompt and thorough in answering questions and helping to make our stay a cozy, top-of-the-line experience. We will definitely be back!

The best of both worlds

The property was on the edge of Acadia where we hiked several trails and visited 3 different beaches and just totally enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine and scenic views. It was only a short walk down to Seal Harbor for the beach and swings for the granddaughters. And Bar Harbor was only 7 miles away for the walking town experience. The best of both worlds!!!!

Great Base Camp

We were two families with young children and found the home to be a great fit for us. It was within walking distance to a beach great for exploring and wading and a coffee/ice cream shop. Also - it was a short trip to lots of hiking trails, scenic spots, and the horse carriage rides which we all enjoyed. The house was very well stocked with towels, soap, and supplies you might not expect like a tablecloth for the picnic table on the deck, laundry basket, cooler bags, portable chairs, and family games. Edith our host touched base throughout our stay to ensure things were going well. We would definitely stay there again!

Good location

The location was very good. The house smelled musty, and the shower curtains had either dirt or mold on the bottom. The couch cushions were very old and provided no support so when you set on them you sank in way too much; I guess we noticed this since on a rainy day we spent more time in the house.

Quaint Home at Jordon Pond

We had a lovely time at this quaint and spacious home. The owner was incredibly responsive and even went the extra mile and located a pack and play for us to use during our stay. This charming house has lots of character, ample space and is in the perfect location. It backs up to the beautiful forest and is just minutes away from Jordan Pond, Seal Harbor and the most idyllic botanical gardens. The owner also supplied basic supplies such as soap, toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, kitchen supplies. She has a bunch of fun games that we played nightly with our kiddos and they explored her book shelves and spent some time reading. We actually ended up needing to return some of the groceries we bought because she had them on hand. We enjoyed our stay so much that the family even talked of getting our own home there. :) We truly had the best time and made memories that we will forever cherish with our family.
