Summary: This house has everything you need for relaxing after a long day on the water or on the trails. The kitchen has all kinds of cooking equipment, and stocks the basics for most meals that you can envision, including most spices, oils, etc. There's even a big pot for steaming up that fresh "lobstah" and the tools needed to eat it! The game room has ping-pong, corn-hole, and other fun things for active folks, with board games, books and TVs for others. We hated to leave, but Hurricane Lee had us out of there a day early. Excellent communication with the host made this one of our best VRBO experiences!

Summary: My husband and I got married at Acadia National Park during our stay here and were even able to walk to our first look at the Somesville bridge. It really was the perfect home base for our week. This property gives you everything you could ask for in terms of space and amenities. Other reviews are spot on that the pictures really don't do it justice. The entire house was very clean and ready for our arrival. Would definitely stay here again.

Summary: We had an excellent time in the National Park and enjoying the local fare. Very clean location. Bar Harbor was a little to touristy for us so enjoyed the more local towns and lobster houses along the coast. The National Park is definitely worth the hikes and scenic views. The house was immaculate and I would rate the owner and property a 10 plus. Plus the deer that showed up at dusk.

Summary: This place was absolutely adorable. It had everything we needed plus more. Great location.
Sandy H. Oct 19, 2022 09:19:23 PM
Summary: Sweet, clean, and quiet property. Loved the home, it's decorated so cute. The owners thought of everything...the kitchen has everything you need and the laundry room too! Convenient location to all the sites, hiking, restaurants, etc. The owners gave us plenty of awesome suggestions of where to hike, eat, drink and even the best bakery!

Summary: We couldn’t have asked for more at this home. This place felt like home. Everything we might need. The house was beautiful and so comfortable. The location is great for exploring the island, minutes from all the sights. I highly recommend this home!

Summary: This house is exactly as described, but even better. It is immaculate! The amenities are top notch and the owner has provided a host of little things, such as make-up towels, shampoo, conditioner, extra towels (soft and absorbent), kitchen spices, food wraps (foil, plastic wrap) and all kinds of indoor games and puzzles that are in working order. We baked the popover mix, enjoying the blueberry jam along with the popovers for breakfast. There was plenty of space for us, all inviting and comfortable. We enjoyed the extra decorations, under-cabinet lighting and lighting above the fireplace. This house is well maintained and the decor is high quality. Loved the easy window treatments to raise and lower in the eating and living area. My husband appreciated the jacuzzi tub after a long day of hiking/biking. I could go on and on about the quality of everything. And did I mention clean? We enjoyed the view and quiet of Some Sound from benches across the road. We were so busy that we didn't have time to enjoy the variety of games in the garage but they looked very inviting. I would highly recommend staying at this property and will definately stay here again when we return to Mt. Desert Island.

Summary: It is a wonderful home in Maine. The hosts have it well decorated. The kitchen is up to date and the bathrooms are great. The outdoor space is really nice. The only disadvantage is that you need to drive to SW Harbor ,NE Harbor, Bar Harbor and the Acadia Park. It is really close to SW and NE Harbors . I would definitely spend more time at SW Harbor shopping and eating if I went again.
Marcus V. Sep 6, 2022 04:17:49 AM
Summary: This was a great property right off one of the main roads going into Acadia. A 5 minute walk to the convenience store, 5 minute drive to a good brewery (Atlantic), and 20 minutes from most places in the park this was an ideal location. Everything was clean, kitchen was fully stocked, and the owners were very responsive.

Summary: My wife and I spent our 50th wedding anniversary vacation at Azalea Knoll along with our 2 year old Mini Goldendoodle Molly. The house exceeded our already high expectations. And Molly gives it 4 paws up! It is clean, beautiful, comfortable and relaxing. It is centrally located on Mt Desert Island with easy short distances to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and the quiet side of the island. Our thanks to Karen for checking in periodically to make sure we had everything we needed.
