Recent Mount Desert vacation rental reviews

We loved the location, right on long pond. We loved the kayaks and used them several times. Area was quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Areas of improvement would be the master room mattress, very firm. Woke up sore. The fridge took four days to cool food in fridge and freeze food in freezer. Furniture was outdated and couch needed cleaned. It had visible dog hair and I could not sit on due to skin allergy to dander. New pots and pans would be a great addition. Many were old. Overall we enjoyed our stay and those areas would not deter us from staying again, just wanted to give accurate review of our stay. We appreciate you sharing your house and allowing others to stay. It was a nice vacation and got to enjoy all Acadia and Bar Harbor had to offer. Canada was also accommodating with check out instructions that could not be met due to early departure. Thanks again we had an amazing time.

House was a perfect size for our family of four adults. Plenty of space to relax after a busy day exploring the area. Dog was happy watching the deer walk through the yard and we enjoyed the outdoor spaces as well. Oven and fridge seemed new, kitchen and bathrooms were updated nicely. Bedrooms small but really for a vacation home they were just right! Would recommend this property!

We came up for the week of the 4th of July! The house is centrally located and was so easy to get everywhere on the island! The accommodations and amenities were great! It was very clean and overall a wonderful place to stay! The yard is great too with a fire pit for s'mores and a picnic bench for outside dining! We had lots of deer visiting. This house was perfect for our family and we can't wait to come back!
