So close yet feels so far away

What a home! Comfortable and cozy and super clean, with everything you need. It’s away from the hubbub of Bar Harbor but only takes 10 minutes to get there or NE area. Wonderful hikes are also so close, and can walk down to seal harbor beach or the cute little block of town.

Convenient and quiet

This is a lovely house in a very convenient location away from the bustle by close to so much. Like others, we hesitate to let the secret out about this right-size home for our group of four adults. The well-equipped house is tucked away in the woods with modern appliances and pretty much everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owners and caretaker were available and responsive when we had a minor issue upon our arrival. We will plan to return for future visits!

Hidden House 2

Hidden House 2 is located in the woods in Seal Harbor, Maine within walking distance of Seal Harbor beach and town and the entrance to Acadia National Park. My wife and I enjoy Hidden House 2 so much that this is our 4rd stay. The house is well equipped and immaculately clean. The owners are very responsive to any questions. Hidden House 2 is a great base for peace and quiet while visiting Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. Staying here you feel you are staying in the park. It is beautiful and highly recommended.

True to description and reviews

Hidden House II is true to it’s wonderful description and high reviews. Nature surrounds you. The setting is a quiet haven away from the noise and crowds of Bar Harbor. And yet, the location is convenient to everything and close to Acadia National Park. House is spacious, comfortable, exceptionally clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you’ll need & more. Heat on a chilly morning was easy to regulate. Research on the family history (father served a long term as one of Harvard’s most significant presidents) enriched our stay. Beautiful neighborhood with some steep, narrow roads. Thank you, Rosemary & David, for an amazing 2 weeks. We absolutely loved it; and like other guests, hope to keep it a bit of a secret so we can return. Julie & Paul, Traverse City, MI

Kitchen was well stocked and the openness to the community spaces, living room a dining was great. We liked how the bedrooms and adjacent bathrooms were on either side of the living room, for privacy. There were comfortable spaces to sit in bedrooms and living room.The seclusion of the house, the wooded lot contributed to the quiet.The owner/host of the house was available when we needed her.

Spacious and Close to Both Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor

We enjoyed our stay at this Seal Harbor rental. The kitchen had everything we needed. The open floor plan was spacious with a large dining table and plenty of couch seating. We loved that we could get to our favorite hikes in any direction in 20 or so minutes. In the evening we had great stargazing right on the property.

Great quiet location

If you want to be close to everything but avoid the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, stay here. We were 15 minutes from Bar Harbor and 5 minutes from entrance to Acadia. The backyard is a quiet little oasis. The House is a little older, but no issues. It was clean and well kept. Highly recommend!
