About this property

Spacious Farmhouse with Mtn Views, quiet. Available year round.

WEEKLY RENTAL ONY IN SUMMERS & 3 NIGHT MINIMUM OCT 21- APRIL 30th just ask.

Beautifully remodeled 4bedroom/ 3 bath farmhouse (4th bedroom is the front room on 1st floor. Has cozy pullout queen couch, across from full bath. This is great for those with mobility issues). 5th BEDROOM/BATH CAN BE ADDED- is the walkout basement apt, accessed through the kitchen or outside.

Nestled in a quiet field overlooking Gorham Mountain. in Acadia. This house is just 1 mile from hiking and biking in Acadia National Park or lying on the beach. Four miles from Bar Harbor on the free public (seasonal) shuttle loop. Great location for day and evening activities or just sitting and watching sunsets off the back deck. Fully stocked kitchen and bath remodels great for large families. Relax on the deck, while taking in the mountains, sunset and moon rise. Great place for children. Hot tub outside on the back deck. Wood/tile floors throughout. The downstairs is very sunny and open. Because this is our home, the kitchen is fully stocked with all the basics plus many extras. The master bedroom has its own marbled tile bathroom with a large shower. There is a den on the first floor that has a very cozy pullout couch (seriously, I bought it for my parents) and bathroom right next to it, for those not comfortable going up and down stairs. In the bathrooms, soaps and shampoos are provided. The linens and towels are always of high quality, so you feel spoiled on your vacation. As nurses we keep it VERY CLEAN! There is a walkout basement apartment as well for those who need an extra bedroom, or a bit more privacy. The apartment is very bright with the walkout and it is very peaceful down there. It is listed as the "additional fee 500" in the costs. The apartment is accessed down a set of basement stairs or from the outside (not handicap accessible).

Weekly rentals June-October only (Sat-Sat). Three day minimum in the winters.

October getaway
Angie and Chris’s home was great for our large family! The multiple areas to hang out in, made it great while trying to get babies asleep, sooo many family boardgames to choose from, two sets of laundry machines, 2 kitchens, and THE HOT TUB!! The hot tub literally saved my muscles, after an intense hike on The Great Wass Island Preserve (I haven’t hiked in a very long time, especially on trails of changing terrains.). The hosts were responsive when I had any questions. They were very kind hosts! Angie even offered to pick up breakfast items for us (she knew we were traveling with babies), after our flights got delayed for HOURS, causing us to ultimately stay in a hotel in Portland for the first night of our vacation. I would recommend their place to anyone who plans on staying in the Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor area!

Wonderful stay in MDI
This home is a wonderful place to stay in MDI for groups. We had 10 adults and there was plenty of space for all of us. The home is located right next to Bar Harbor and minutes from plenty of trail heads. Our group especially liked using the well stocked kitchen to cook meals every night after a good hike. Angie and Chris really made us feel like we were at home with all the small touches in the house. They were easy to communicate with and had plenty of suggestions for local fun. We would love to stay here again!

Acadian Dream
Perfect house for our adult family! One couple stayed in the downstairs apartment, our son had the main floor and 2 couples stayed upstairs. We had everything available in the kitchen to cook meals for the family. The location was perfect! We also used the fire pit, the deck and the hot tub. We felt at home and enjoyed every moment of our vacation. Thank you! The Cavener Family

Wonderful week Maine!
I cannot recommend this property enough! I reserved this property for my family and I. We were 10 guests in total and there was so much room. The house itself is amazing. It was very clean and organized. The kitchen is well stocked and we were able to make meals for everyone with ease. The bedrooms were very comfortable. We really enjoyed the firepit, utilizing it to make smores on our trip. My family loved the hot tube. The location itself was perfect! We were literally surrounded by Acadia National Park, which was the main attraction that bought us to Maine. The house is also very close to town with nice restaurants and shops. I cannot say enough about our hosts, Angie and Chris. They were absolutely wonderful. They were incredibly kind and very responsive. Again, I cannot recommend this property enough. My family is already planning a return trip back!

About the host

Hosted by Angie and Chris

Host profile image
We are a couple who work as Nurse Practitioners in the area. Angie spent years as a Registered Maine Guide leading Kayak trips around Mount Desert Island. We have been renting out our home in the summer for the past 22 years (before VRBO existed). We started doing this when we moved away for a three year stint in rural health. When we returned, people still called, wanting our home back in the summer. We have had a great time renting our home, and have met wonderful people along the way. We are always working to better improve the property. DUE TO CLEANING WE ONLY RENT SAT TO SAT in the summers.

Three day minimum October through April. Just contact me.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved Acadia National Park. When I graduated college, at College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, I knew I wanted to stay in the area. As a kayak guide for 10 years, I wanted to be near the ocean. From our house I can hear the bell bouy in Otter Cove. I never get over the view of sunrise from our bedroom windows. I haven't always loved our home. As a 100 year old farmhouse, it had gone through several renovations over the years. It has been an ongoing project. Renting out our property has helped us fund these projects along the way.

We have a wonderful location that is peaceful, yet close to town. The house is spacious with lots of stuff for the kids to do. There is a den, living room, large kitchen and sunroom all on the first floor. Even on a rainy day one would not feel like you were all on top of each other. If you need the extra privacy, there is the added apartment downstairs. We love dogs, and they are welcome, but we also have allergies and ask that you pay an extra cleaning fee and keep them off the furniture. Acadia is a great place for dogs! As is our huge back yard!

What makes this property unique

Quiet- yet close to Bar Harbor. On free shuttle loop- flag the propane bus down from the top of the driveway. It is a home and not just a rental property. The kitchen is FULLY stocked. We buy things of quality for us, not just for a business. Lots of space for large groups, but several options so you can have privacy as well. Hot tub off the back deck.
