Quick Trip
Nice home, with an average view of the river. No A/C, which I learned was pretty common in Maine. The home got pretty warm a few afternoons, where A/C would've been nice. Guest bathroom shower has no hot water and TV requires a Harvard degree, we finally figured it out Day 2. I've listed all the negatives, but it really isn't a bad home. Great kitchen with all the necessities, including a Lobster Pot!! We ran a mile down the road to Hannafords and bought dinner to cook at home, 3 of the 4 nights. Saved us some cash!

Nice place. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with our family❤️
We really enjoyed our stay here. 50 minutes to the Arcadia National park. Mattresses could be updated. One bathroom had low water pressure for shower and the sink was plugged. Other than that we had everything we needed for our stay and really enjoyed our view from the upper and lower decks. Would definitely stay again here. Oh! Be sure to bring mosquitoe spray there out all day and night lol

Peaceful and beautiful!
This house was quiet and peaceful with a beautiful view of the river. The house was clean and well stocked. There are ceiling fans throughout which was helpful because it was very hot this week. We spent most of our time in Acadia/Bar Harbor which was about an hour away. There is a store kind of around the corner in Bucksport. There was a bad storm one day and the power went out but there is a generator on the property which worked beautifully. All in all it was a wonderful trip in a beautiful location!
