Acadia dream

This home is in a great location. We were just a few minutes from Acadia and Bar Harbor as well as the town of Ellsworth. There are lots of restaurants near by and many places to get lobster. The home has a special set up just for cooking lobster. This house is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen, while a little sparse, has all the amenities needed. The basket of snacks was an added special touch. There is a great grill on the patio and the outdoor fire pit is so much fun. The beds are super comfortable and everything is spotlessly clean. I would highly recommend this home.

Great Vacation Home

We had a great week at Woodlawn Retreat! The house was extremely clean and we appreciated the snacks provided along with the supplies to make smores at the fire pit. We ate at many of the recommended restaurants in the welcome book and all of the activities we wanted to do were within a 30 minute drive of the house.

Lovely Private House

My husband and I very much enjoy this lovely home. It was very comfortable and extremely clean which we so appreciated! It had everything we needed and more! The hosts, Kyle and Alice were very responsive. Kyle not only recommended the best restaurants that we returned to for lunch and dinner, but also Door Dashed a new blow dryer for me within the hour when the one on site didn’t work! AMAZING!! Thank you, Kyle and Alice for providing such a wonderful home for us after a long trip.

Acadia Stay

We selected the Woodlawn Retreat for a location close to Mt Desert Island, Bar Harbor & Acadia NP, off the island but near enough to be in the park or BH in 20 minutes. We needed a house for 4. This single floor home has only a few steps to enter. The great room is huge with a large screen TV. The kitchen is well appointed with new appliances and drawers full of necessary utensils, pots, pans, glasses, dishes and more. The owners left a thoughtful tray of snacks on the counter with excellent property instructions. You’ll find neat coffee/tea and wine bars. Bathrooms are well supplied. And, the bedrooms: ahhhhhh, the foam-topped mattresses and upscale sheets for great, quiet sleeps. These beds are the “bomb!” Kudos to the owners. You definitely know how to provide an excellent VRBO experience.

It was enjoyable.

We prepared all our meals in the house. We fixed breakfast & supper in the house, & packed lunches every day for our adventures. We're old folks & after days of exploring Acadia NP, we had no energy to explore many of the extras in the house. We did no campfires or s'mores, no TV, or games. We slept well, showers worked well, Dishwasher worked well. I brought my own instant-read meat thermometer. Parking worked easier if I backed into our space, turning around first in the lower parking lot. Thanks for a great time! God gave us perfect weather. Hint: Thunder Hole is best seen and heard about 2 hours before high tide.

Perfect house!

We loved everything about this house. It was so clean and so many thoughtful touches - welcome snacks, firewood, s’mores kit, laundry supplies, toilet paper, paper towels, basic cooking supplies (oil,Pam, spices). Beds very comfortable and house more spacious than photos (with big closets). Communication with Alice was great too. We drove to Acadia each day and drive was super easy. There is super Walmart and grocery store less than 2 miles. Lots of restaurants close by as well. We’ve stayed in a lot of vrbos and this one is bar far one of the best. I would definitely stay here again!
