There are endless things to do in the area both day and night. Acadia National Park is about a five minute drive from your home, in town Bar Harbor another six minutes beyond that. There are miles of hiking trails that traverse our mountains and circle our lakes. Vehicle free carriage roads are perfect for bicycles. Ranger led nature walks leave daily from the Park Visitor Center. Free public transportation on the Island Explorer bus covers most of the island so you may choose to leave your vehicle in the driveway. Downtown Bar Harbor has many diverse restaurants. From fresh seafood of all kinds to Thai, Cuban, Mexican, and Italian, you'll be amazed at the variety. We'll also tell you where to get the best lobster. Whale watching and sailing trips leave frequently from the waterfront. There are 2 movie theaters, one serving pizza and beer! And don't forget the shopping. From art galleries to souvenirs, Bar Harbor has it all!

Best summer rental we've ever had.

Antonia Marie Boston, MA
Review Submitted: March 21, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
This website is very accurate. We rented for two weeks in July. The house is absolutely beautiful and the setting is amazing. Having our own private island made this one of the most unique vacations ever. We used it for picnics and took out chairs to watch the sunset. This is more of a high end house (recently built) with stainless steel appliances in the kitchen and beautiful wood and tile floors. If you're looking for privacy, this is it. If you're looking for views, this is definately it! The owner lives a few miles away and responded immediately when the dish washer stopped working. The only down side( for some) is that you can't walk to town. You need a car. Highly recommended. Will rent it again in the future.
Owner's Response: Although a car is recommended, the Island Explorer bus can be used to get to and from downtown Bar Harbor, or just about anywhere in Acadia or Mount Desert Island. They go right by the end of the driveway (a short walk up the hill) and all you have to do is flag one down. Best of all, the bus is FREE. The bus does not run in the extreme off season. We live about 9 miles from Oceanmist and are always available if anything goes wrong. We're also happy to answer any questions on the area or recommend a restauarant. Just give us a call or send an email.

Everything as promised --- and more

John & Marilyn Atlanta, GA
Review Submitted: August 7, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This is a home that seems built and furnished for a homeowner’s use, since all of the appliances and furnishings are of superior quality. The owner’s framed photographs added to the beauty of the interior. The home is extremely comfortable (especially the master bed) and has everything you need for cooking, clothes washing, etc. We enjoyed the beauty and privacy of the location. Sitting on the deck with a cup of coffee and binoculars was a favorite morning ritual.

We found this location on Mt. Desert Island very convenient to both Bar Harbor to the south and Ellsworth to the north. As an aside, 0.1 mile toward Bar Harbor, there is former pastry chef and his wife who make the best fruit pies that we have ever tasted. There is a sign for pies on the left side of the road in front of their home.

Fantastic Vacation

Houlton San Francisco
Review Submitted: July 5, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
This property is the best rental we've ever experienced. The house was immaculate. Everything you need for a luxurious vacation was provided. The view is breath taking and you never tire of it.
We saw at leat 4 eagles while sipping a drink on the balcony. The private island is a wonderful treat for a picnic.
The kitchen is a chef's dream. The Wolf range is truly a treat, a great house for a gourmet.
Everything worked perfectly and provided a perfect vacation.
