We had a great stay! James was very friendly and knowledgable. The best part of the stay was the access to Long Pond and the kayaks, which was our main reason for booking this property. The location can't be beat also! On the quiet side of the island, yet so close to Bar Harbor and Acadia.

A great spot on the ‘quiet side’ of Mount Desert island.

This was exactly what we were looking for… a place to stay that was close to the big attractions in Acadia, but away from the crowds.
