The apartment was great for what we needed! Only downside was that due to being directly under the roof in the second floor of an older building, it was quite hot during the daytime (the AC units are only in the bedrooms). Regardless it was a great little place!

Beautiful apartment, comfortable bed (bedroom faces the street), and great shower. Nice location near Lighthouse Restaurant. Kitchen has new utensils and plenty of cookware for making meals, just make sure to bring spices and extra coffee. Also, there is no hair dryer. Would stay here again.

Disliked: Check-in, communication
The manager wouldn't send the check-in information until late in the day, and I had to double back to get cell phone reception to get the details and the door lock number. I requested this information several times on the day of check-in, so it was frustrating. It seemed like we were the first people to stay there after a fresh makeover, and there was no hot water for the shower the first morning there. They resolved it by that afternoon. The apartment was nice, clean, and well done, and except for these issues, I'd recommend it.

As a self proclaimed persnickety person, I couldn’t find fault with anything! From booking to check out, everything went extremely smoothly. The Notebook is just far enough away from the maddening crowds of Bar Harbor but is extremely close to an entrance to Acadia that takes you right to the best attractions without traffic and to what felt like a private beach. The apartment was bright, clean and well appointed. Communication with Maebeth Property was unparalleled. My questions were addressed almost immediately. I highly recommend The Notebook and extend my thanks to Maebeth for making our experience so pleasurable.
