Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

We had a lovely stay in this cozy little home. It was in great proximity to Bar Harbor shopping and restaurants— just a quick drive. Check in/out process was super simple and the property manager, Roland, was very helpful. Bonus points because the home had a pack-and-play and high chair available for use! 10/10!!

The house is very picturesque and cosy, it has a lot of space and the quiet location in the woods allows for very good night sleeps.
The brand new grill in the garden was great for BBQ.
The house is old: with a renovation and newer kitchen appliances I would have rated it 5 stars.
Roland was a very reliable and kind host

The house has a gravel driveway on a hill. No walkway to the house. You walk up a grass hill with a couple of slate stones scattered about. Not safe at all for anyone with walking or balance issues.
All the furniture is uncomfortable and looks as if it was purchased at yard sales.
The stairs going to the 2nd floor are not up to code. Again, dangerous for children, elderly or people with balance issues.
All beds are very cheap mattresses and very uncomfortable.
The tub has a fireplace hanging over part of it and the toilet is a little tiny thing.
There is a 3-season porch that only has windows that do not open. No screens to enjoy the weather or crickets. Ridiculous!
All windows are original from 1800's and most do not even work or open.
The front and back doors are also original always stick shut.
I asked if there was a grill and was told YES! It was a rotted piece of junk. It had Coke cans holding up the gas jets. The front panel and the bottom were completely rotted off. They attached an aluminum tray to replace the rotted bottom to catch droppings and grease. A complete fire hazard! We were going to at least try it since we bought $200.00 worth of items to grill but the propane bottle was empty! I wasted my money on items to grill as there was no usable grill on the property. We had to fry steak tips and chicken wings on the house stove.
I feel that we were over charged for this property.
Do not rent this place!

Large home with character about 15 minutes from Acadia. House enabled us all to have our private space after long days in the park. Two bathrooms would have been ideal but one was sufficient.

We had a very nice stay and the house was fine for our needs, but it could be so much nicer with some upgrades. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of towels and supplies. The house is very roomy with lots of space to spread out and the enclosed front porch is where we spent most of our time. The only bathroom is upstairs, it really could use a half bath downstairs. The windows are not in good shape, most don't open or are very hard to open. The dishwasher is a portable that you have to move and connect to the kitchen sink, which means you can't really use the kitchen sink while the dishwasher is hooked up to it, and the kitchen sink is the only place to wash your hands or get water downstairs. The stove needs all the drip pans replaced, they are rusted/burnt thru and some of the plastic knobs are broken. The cookware was ok, but we had to search through all the teflon pans to try and find some that were not all beat up, they need to throw away many of the teflon pans. Host needs to get some large plastic spoons, so people aren't using metal ones on the teflon pans. The main lock on the back door was broken and the owner added a small slide lock, which would not keep anyone out, if they were trying to break in, based on a previous review, it has been like this for over a year. The outside of the house needs painting and the owner stated that it is hard to get that done when guest are staying there, which is true, but he needs to get it done. There was no gutter to catch the rain coming off the roof at the front landing, so if you had to come or go during a rain storm, then you had to walk under a waterfall, this needs to be fixed. Upstairs at the end of the hall leading to the bathroom, there is a two inch step up that is a tripping hazard, I am surprised no one else has mentioned this and I am surprised the owner has not done anything to mitigate or at least make it more clear that it is there. Overall we had a nice stay and the owner is a very nice man and very responsive, if you need him for anything.

This is a quaint older home with a picturesque yard complete with wishing well.. it’s in an attractive neighborhood (great for walking) and very near entrance to Arcadia. The master bedroom and enclosed porch are a joy to experience. It is an older home as described with casual decor. Host was responsive.

When I got to the rental, the air conditioners were on and the bathroom window was open to rid the house of the mildew smell. My nose immediately started running and my head got stopped up upon entering the house. The house had an over powering musty smell. The entrance is NOT suitable for people with walking issues which my Aunt has. The description does not mention that the only entry way was up a hill in which you had to walk. Also, the back door lock was broken and there are woods behind the house. I'm not familiar with the area and was afraid to spend the night. I don't sleep in my own house with the doors unlocked let alone in a strange place. The house is definitely not as described. I called the owner twice but to no avail. I ended up not staying at the rental and stayed elsewhere.
