Aug 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy What a wonderful place to call home while visiting around Acadia! We couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable and clean space. We enjoyed our time staying here and would love to return. Great hosts too! ##### Claire L. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gray S. Aug 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The butterfly garden across the street is so lovely that if this house had been a tar paper shack, it still would have been worth it. And it is a nice home that was perfectly adequate for the family of five adults enjoying Southwest Harbor and Mount Desert Island for a few days. The hiking in the park is just fantastic. Don't miss the beehive. Seeing the sunset from the lighthouse was gorgeous. Good food. Good people. I've never been in Maine in the winter, but it sure is heaven in the summer. ##### Gray S.
