What a find
Most definitely a 5 star+++. House was absolutely immaculate. Very comfortable house. Location was the best. Less than 5 min drive to town and park entrance. Communication with owners quick & friendly. Right next to Kebo Valley golf. Kitchen is big as are bedrooms & baths. All over a super experience. Quiet neighborhood. Would define stay here again without even looking elsewhere. A gem in Bar Harbor.

Great Week
The house is very comfortable. We found it to be a great place from which to visit Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. It is a short drive away to both the town and the entrance to the park. We enjoyed our time in this house. The check in and communication with the owner was simple and helpful. Covid restrictions have changed how owners are able to prepare their facilities and we appreciated the care given to this home prior to our arrival. Would recommend this property to anyone looking for a place close to Bar Harbor.

Great Experience and Location (Host with the Most)
The location of the house is outstanding. Far enough away from the overly busy downtown Bar Harbour, yet only a 4 minute drive. We could also have quiet relaxation when wanted. Plenty of space, and an under 10 minutes drive to get into Acadia National Park by Cadillac Mountain. Heather our host really set us up, great information on trails, recommendations for tours to try, and a connection that allowed some non locals to secure a primere table for the 4th of July fire works. By the way Bar Harbor does a top of the line excellent fireworks display. Folks were still raving about the fireworks when we were heading home 4 days later. We had a front row seat because of Heather. Forever thankful for the Memories, so much so I sent a thank you note to her before even filling this survey out.

Clean Home in Great Location
What a great week we had in Bar Harbor at this property! We were traveling as a family of 5, kids aged 6, 3 and 1. The home was spotless upon arrival and check-in super easy. We brought all of our own kid items, but there was a pack n play and high chair there as well. We had to do some creative baby proofing and if you're traveling with a baby and need to block the stairs, we found the bench in the dining room was the perfect size to move in front of the stairs (much to my son's chagrin ;) The location of the home is great! It's close to the town of Bar Harbor (but in a quiet neighborhood), Acadia National Park and the beach. Visit Abel's Lobster - it has beautiful outdoor seating right on the water and the food was great! Also Cadillac Mountain is a must - It's around the corner from the home, and our three kids loved climbing the rocks at the summit for hours! Also Jordan Pond (although the restaurant was overrated in our opinion), Thunder Hole, Nature Center and Bar Island were among other favorites for our family! One suggestion for the home I have would be to have some community and family games and activities in the home. We couldn't possibly have packed our minivan any more full to bring anything else, and it would have been nice to have some lawn games for the outdoor space, and some indoor family games to play as well, and books to read. Perhaps they were not present because of covid, but just a suggestion for future use. Thanks for letting us use your home, we had a fantastic week!!!

Unreasonable cleaning expectation
The bad: We left the house in great condition. All things listed in book to do before we left we did. Owner charged additional fee because they claimed house was a mess and took 6 hours to clean. Claimed urine on bathroom floor, floors dirty, and that there was something baked onto stove top. Floors needed normal cleaning of a vacuum and quick mop when we left which is standard cleaning. We started laundry as instructed and completed as many loads of laundry as asked in book. Clean laundry was left on dining room table with a note it was clean. All linens were stripped from beds as requested They have cleaners come in and cleaning would have been nothing more than routine. Urine on bathroom floor…ages were 10-77 and all are potty trained. Baked on them on glass stove top. Perhaps we missed that but it also happens sometimes when you cook. I think they were more upset that it was a new stove which I understand but it happens. We cleaned up every night and didn’t notice it so it if it was there which makes me think it wasn’t a HUGE area though I can understand their unhappiness if it was a new stove. If we did miss it, I am sorry but again, it happens and wasn’t done on purpose nor is the stove inoperable. If you stay, plan to clean the whole house like you’re leaving it for the next people vs the cleaning service to come in a do a routine cleaning after you leave…bathrooms, floors, etc. We were charged an extra fee because I pointed out when I stripped my bed, as instructed, I also removed the mattress cover and the mattress was all stained underneath so if that was the issue ( before they told me the bathrooms, etc) that was an issue with the cleaners Vs anything we did. They decided to remove the extra fee but kept the $350 cleaning deposit. Claimed it took 6 hours to clean the house. I am not sure how that was possible. 2 kids and 5 reaponsible adults stayed there. We cleaned up daily. Had it not been for this situation, I would 100% have returned because the property and location is phenomenal and the house is lovely. The good: everything else, except the outrageous claim the house was a mess when we left, was absolutely amazing. As long as you’re willing to make sure the place is 100% spotless and I mean SPOTLESS, I’d highly recommend
