Owner lives in the first floor apartment of lower building.

Situated less than 5 miles to the town of Southwest Harbor, this unit is set away from the hustle and bustle of the busy summer season on MDI. Located conveniently off route 102, the property is situated on 11+ wooded acres and is the perfect setting to a relaxing vacation. The grounds around the unit offers a relaxing setting, apple orchard and lots of mossy wooded areas to explore.
The area offers many different and unique dining options including Thurston's Lobster Pound which is only about a 3 minute drive, boating activities, shops and much more. Acadia National Park's Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse is less than a 10 minute drive, as well as the beautiful hiking/walking trails located in the west side area of Acadia.
The bustling town of Bar Harbor is about a 30 minute drive and offers more dining options, shops, restaurants and more. The visitors center and Cadillac Mountain and the park loop road of Acadia National park are also located near the town of Bar Harbor. 18 Orchard Hills Circle is the perfect location for your Maine vacation, close enough to enjoy everything that the MDI area has to offer, while situated in a quiet relaxing atmosphere.

Part of a 2 unit Duplex, this unit offers a private entrance with a paved driveway and ample parking. The property features 2 young apple orchards and lots of wooded areas to explore.

This well built shingle style unit sits high on a granite moss covered knoll with a young fruit orchard situated below. With easy access to Acadia National Park and a short distance to Bar Harbor, 18 Orchard Hills Circle is a great vacation location for rest and relaxation.

Awesome spot and home!
We loved this area and home! It was cozy, clean and well stocked. The only issue we had was with a fan/light in an upstairs bedroom, but the weather was comfortable enough to open windows, so fortunately it wasn't really an issue. We also loved that it had a nice grill and a fire pit so we enjoy an fire and make s'mores! We would highly recommend this place and would absolutely stay here again! Thank you Mike!

Quiet side of island. Still close enough to amenities however. Lots of bed space but general eating space or gathering space is limited. Very comfortable beds and kitchen has all appliances and utensils needed. Nice outdoor fire pit and grille area. Oddly for a woods setting almost no bugs.

We loved our stay at this place. It was very clean. It was located close to Acadia National Park. It had 4 good size bedrooms. It also is only a few years old and in very good condition. I would definitely recommend this VRBO unit to others looking for a great place to stay.

Post Labor Day Stay
We enjoyed our stay, and the property was just as we expected. It was located in a wooded setting and somewhat secluded. There is another Unit attached to this, and it was occupied during our stay. We had no issues with sound from the neighbors. Overall it was a very quiet and peaceful location. It was definitely on the quiet side of the Island and away from the tourist and craziness of Acadia National Park. It was exactly what we wanted. It was in a great location for us as we did a lot of hiking and there were tons of trail heads within 15 minutes. Getting to the National Park was easy, but took about 30 minutes to get to the tourist spots and park road. There is an IRVING Gas station just down the road and has a great selection of to-go food and Ice cream. We took advantage of this a few nights after hiking as a lot of things were closed after labor day. The property seemed to be well stocked and seemed to have everything you could need. My wife and I only used the first floor, but there were bedrooms upstairs that looked real nice. The Bed in Master Bedroom was comfortable and the shower had great pressure. The window coverings are odd but functional and really not an issue, just weird. We were very happy and had no real issues, and thought the value we got for the cost was great. We would stay here again if we came back to the park.

Orchard Hills Circle on the Quiet side
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Orchard Hills Circle. Family vacation with adult children and their significant others. The house was clean and with all conveniences. The host allows pets, so we were able to vacation with our senior lab and new addition- lab puppy. Recommend hiking with your dogs at Little Long Pond in Seal Harbor.

Must stay here
This house is so clean, comfy and inviting. The pictures truly don’t do it justice. We had 5 adults and there was ample space to hang out to eat and talk plus sleep. The location is quiet yet not a bad ride to Bar Harbor, Acadia, etc. We go different places every year but if I ever wanted to go back to a place year after year …this would be it!

West Tremont Townhouse
We had a very comfortable stay for a week. The townhouse is conveniently located on the Southwest Harbor side of Mount Desert Island. The beds are comfortable, there's plenty of storage for your clothing and it was great having a washing machine and dryer. Our black lab was welcome and comfortable there which was a plus.

July Stay at 18 Orchard Hills Circle - A Hidden Gem
This property and listing were excellent. Plenty of room as there were 4 adults who spent the week hiking, trying out the restaurants, visiting the sites, and relaxing. Place was clean, modern in appearance, and conveniently located for hiking many trails if not all in Acadia, and 20 minutes to Bar Harbor and other places of interest. This property was clean, layout was functional, and had everything needed for a week of fun. Water pressure and hot water for showers for the 4 of us after a day of hiking was available. The property is on the quiet side of the island so local harbors and places to eat were not as crowded and much easier to navigate and quite frankly more enjoyable. Manager was on-site and easy to contact and talk to. He was extremely knowledgably of area and willing to share his insights as to places to visit and eat. Property was well cared for and lots of places to walk our dog safely. Lots of lobster roadside stops and good restaurants within 10 minutes of drive in nearby harbors. We are definitely considering coming back next summer to this location.

Great location for visiting Acadia
The home was clean and beautiful in a good location with easy access to all areas of Acadia. There is a lot of closet space in each of the upstairs bedrooms. The fans use remote controls to increase/decrease the speed of the fan and to turn the fan light on and off.

New property on quiet side
Our family of three, our mini golden doodle and another family of four stayed at the property. The property was very clean, brand new, had plenty of bedrooms for our group. The only down side is the livingroom/kitchen was quiet small for our size group. We mainly spent time enjoying Acadia outside of the rental however once there during downtime it was a bit tight. Overall, we loved the quiet side area, the wooden and secluded space of the property, close to the small downtown area and close enough to the main Acadia hiking and Bar Harbor.

Wonderful spot on the Quietside
We had a wonderful 3 week vacation in this rental. The place was super clean and super convenient to everything we wanted to do on MDI. Our two boys (10 & 7) had fun exploring the woods around the property. The kitchen was stocked and we used the outdoor grill a lot. Hope we can return in the near future!

This is a new property and they still have a few kinks to work out. But overall the property itself is very nice and clean. It is on the quiet side so a bit of a drive to Bar Harbor in about 20 to 30 minutes away from the main attractions. However it is right next to a few great hiking locations!

Decent value; convenient property
The property was very clean and fully furnished. Comfortable beds. Plenty of hot water. Very quiet between 8 PM and 5 AM, when road noise from Route 102 subsides. Very convenient to access Bar Harbor/Ellsworth in either direction with points of interest and great seafood both ways.. Close to Bass Harbor for sunrises and sunsets, and all of Acadia National Park. Fairly priced, with enough comforts to make us glad we chose this property and, as with all rentals, enough funkiness to make us glad to finally be home after two weeks. Overall no complaints whatsoever and would stay again.
