Cozy A-frame
We stayed four nights and made trips to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. It is a cozy place with quite a bit of character. The property manager was quick to respond to questions. There is no AC but lots of fans so be aware during the summer months but the twmperature was fine in September.

We had a nice time in Maine. The house was fine for our stay. We visited Acadia most days and the location was an hour from MDI. Even though the only tv was in the basement, we were busy outdoors and really didn't miss it.

We had the best time in your serene location. Cute house, as advertised, and centrally located to both parts of Acadia National Park- though both are about a 20-30 minute drive.

Enjoyable stay
Overall a very good stay, we loved being on the quieter side of Acadia and enjoyed the beauty of the nearby Schoodic Peninsula. The cycling was amazing and we took advantage of many of the local hiking trails. The house definitely met out needs and we were thrilled to be able to bring the dogs. It was clean, comfortable for sleeping, and it offered ample places to sit back and relax. The kids really appreciated the pool table. Susan was quick to respond to our questions and was available, if needed. We did feel that the house could use a little added attention, repairing the screen doors and adding some updated kitchen cook wear. Nothing major, but would be helpful for future renters.

The hosts were easy-going and unintrusive. We spent the trip making day visits to Bar Harbor and within Acadia, and the evenings relaxing with a fire. Good heating, plenty of space to spread out for three of us, and clear instructions.

Nice but needs a little TLC
The house was overall a nice place for three adults to stay. It’s VERY secluded, which we didn’t mind. One major critique is that the listing says “at the beach” and it is very much in the middle of Sorrento with no water in sight. Some small repairs would go a long way. Lights and fans that didn’t work, beams that fell off kitchen cabinets (one that almost hit me in the head), etc. Otherwise it was clean and comfortable.
