J.F. and his wife are amazing hosts that went out of their way to be helpful. There was an extra loft bed in the single queen room, which was a nice surprise. It made it so i did not have to share a bed with my brother. His suggestion to go to Schooner Outlook was awesome. Best sunrise I have seen.
We had a wonderful stay in the spacious basement suite! There was plenty of room for our family, and the kids especially loved the toys provided. JF & his wife truly went above and beyondâwelcoming us with a tour of the property & encouraging the kids to explore the yard. They were so personable and friendlyâtruly the ideal hosts.The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do in Acadia, and the detailed binder of local tips and recommendations they prepared was invaluable for planning our trip. Communication was quick and easy throughout. Our only regret was not having a few extra days to take advantage of the canoes and kayaks available on the property. Highly recommend!
Housing was just as pictured and described, and it was awesome to not be in the crowded Bar Harbor scene. JF and Sue were fantastic hosts and went out of their way to ensure our stay was perfect. Would definitely recommend.
Hosts were very accommodating with our late arrival due to travel headaches. Very helpful with allowing us to maximize our time in the area (great recommendations for hikes, food, sites to see). Would definitely stay again.
We were able to enjoy the property, kayaks and explore the area! We enjoyed the location, bedrooms and used the grill. The hosts even got out some age appropriate toys for our kids to enjoy and showed them how to make a bird feeder!
Myself and a few friends came up to visit Acadia. The place was very clean and the location canât be beat. Our hosts were incredibly kind and went above and beyond for us. They took us to count Alewives for conservation and offered us a certificate for hiking the beehive trail. If you stay here we highly recommend taking the kayaks out - itâs included in the rental and the lake is beautiful!
The hosts were wonderful and helpful. The space was clean and well stocked with anything and everything my group needed. It was in a perfect location for a wonderful price. I would recommend visiting Bar Harbor/Mount Desert/Acadia to anyone and everyone I know.
The property was located in a peaceful wooded area on the quiet side of Acadia. It was not far to the major attractions in Acadia and Bar Harbor. Comfortable, clean space. There really isnât a kitchen - no stove or sink, but there is a microwave, coffee pot and you can wash dishes in bathroom sink. There is a fridge. It had everything we needed since we were not cooking - just reheating. Lots of information sent ahead by the owners. We really enjoyed our stay.
Our little family stayed at this property and it was perfect for what we needed. Our active 2 year needed a place to play and rest in between our adventures. This place checked all of the boxes. Lots of cute touches for the kids and super quiet! Very close to Acadia NP and Bar Harbour. J.F. was so friendly and helpful during our stay as well. Canât wait to come back!
This was a perfect basement unit to relax in after hiking all day at Acadia. The hosts were amazing with communication and gave us recommendations on hikes, food, and unique things to do. We also had the option to use their canoes and grill. They wanted us to truly cherish our Maine experience.
Quiet and comfortable location with easy access to Acadia. The property is located across the street from long pond and has excellent kayak access.
JF is a fantastic and welcoming host and gave us a tour of the property. We had an excellent time in Acadia and really enjoyed the peaceful evenings in the woods. JF and Suzanne also provide a binder with excellent information on spots to eat and explore around the island. We would definitely recommend this location for anyone looking for a spot to stay while visiting Acadia!
This is a great location for visiting all parts of Acadia. The owner is friendly and accessible and gave us a tour of the pretty property. We ran out of time to take advantage of the kayaks, but Long Pond is just across the street. A good home base for exploring.
The property was absolutely perfect for our trip, the apartment was meticulously clean, located close to lots of great food, and extremely close to Acadia.
The apartment itself was easy to find, spacious, and homey. The beds were comfortable, and it had everything we needed to feel comfortable! The microwave, fridge, and coffeemaker all came in handy too. JF gave lots of helpful recommendations. Just a note, there's a gravel driveway leading up to the parking area, so don't be surprised!
We loved walking around the property by the stream and kayaking on the lake. Super convenient to access the kayaks!
If you like nature, nice lil rustic place to stay.
Rustic little gem. Beds were comfortable. Sits on wooded area that was very inviting. Utilized the kayaks in a lake that is walking distance. Very much enjoyed our stay. Only thing I could possibly complain about is the chairs in the sitting area are not very comfortable. Our host was very kind, helpful and informative of the area, as we went to Acadia National park.
Great homebase for hiking Acadia. Family (2 parents, 13 year old and 11 year old) stayed for 3 nights. It was a great spot for the quiet side of the island but still easily accessible to the locations we wanted to go in Acadia. We prepared quick/easy breakfasts in the rental, packed a lunch and were on our way. We typically got dinner out but the rental is equipped with a grill, if desired, or possibly bring an electric griddle with you. JF and Sue were wonderfully accommodating hosts, available for information as need but not overbearing.
JF is a great host. Great to interact with and lots of advice.
Basement apartment works well with a king and single bed in one bedroom and a queen and top bunk bed in a second bedroom plus microwave, decent sized fridge, coffee maker, dishes, and grille by the picnic table.
His property is a lot of fun for kids. Our boys loved playing croquet and bacci ball and loved the big swing in the tree. We didnât even have time to take advantage of the kayaks or enjoying the wooded areas by the stream. Quiet but convenient location on the island about 15-20 minutes at most to anywhere.
Definitely recommend!
Quiet forested location away from the crowds, but the central location made it a great home base and it was quick and easy to get to either side of the island. The hosts were welcoming and quick to respond to messages. We stayed here with our 1 year old daughter and our close friends that we were traveling with. Our only regret is that we weren't there long enough to take advantage of the lake access.
