Here’s what our guests have said:

“We had a wonderful trip!! Great house for kids as you are able to keep the rooms dark for nap time!!
The kitchen had everything we needed and we loved the patio. The creek had plenty of water the my kids spent as much time as possible. Loved the ice machine. Plenty of towels and pillows!!” - Amanda

“Acadia House is a lovely property. There were seven writers staying for the weekend and it was a perfect layout. Plenty of room for each of us to find our own space, inside or out, to write. Kitchen is laid out well for a group to cook and eat in the space.
The outside living space is the real gem of this property. The patio and grilling area are all you could want in an outdoor space. The hosts are very responsive to answer questions or fill any needs.
Acadia House is our new favorite place for a writing retreat! Highly recommend.” - Joyce

Taylor wedding
This house was perfect for 3 families to come together for a wedding. The property was clean and easy to get to. We had 10 people and there was room for everyone. This is definitely a place I would stay again. The kids had a great time exploring the creek and grounds.

Nice and spacious
Host was very responsive and available. Plenty of space both inside and outside the property. Very close proximity to places to do things. Plenty of towels, blankets, and ‘extras’ in the kitchen. Rules are simple and host provides information about local places and things to do. In a rural area, so quiet (except for local traffic) and very accessible within 20 minutes.
