Review Submitted: January 8, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2008
We had never used Home Away before but while surfing the web one night, we decided to make some inquiries. Jaye and Bob were very easy and a pleaure to deal with. Everything about settling the contract was straightforward and clear, and they went out of their way to make our travel to, and our stay at the condo a wonderful experience. The condo itself was sparkling clean and more than comfortable. Our family of four stayed at Great Haven July 26-Aug2/08. The condo is located at the doorstep of Acadia Park and the shuttle bus stops right outside for easy commuting to the Park and to Bar Harbour. It couldn't get any easier to explore the area! There is lots to do - hiking, swimming, seaside exploring, shopping in downtown Bar Harbor and every restaurant there was better than the last one! Brewery tours, kayaking (Aquaterra was amazing), window shopping, bicycling...the list goes on - something for everyone. Great Haven is easy to find and offers a vacation that our family found to be both interesting and relaxing as well as affordable. Five stars! Thanks Bob and Jaye for some great memories!

Owner's Response: Visitors who want to spend their vacation having fun, not taking lots of time getting to it, will really appreciate Great Haven's location on Mount Desert Island. You are only 5 minutes from downtown Bar Harbor and can easily walk to Acadia National Park's Hulls Cove enterance. And there's plently of easily accessed safe storage in the entry level of your condo to park all your "toys" like bikes, kayaks, or canoes, in addition to a heated garage for your vehicle. If you're seasoned travelers like Barb and Jay and you're coming to downeast Maine to get out and play, Great Haven just might be exactly what you're looking for in a vacation home!
