My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Thomas Richard House. Johanna could not have been more gracious. She kept in touch with us prior to our arrival, asking if there was any information on local activities that she could send to us. We arrived in the early hours of the morning and she was still able to accommodate our arrival time. Our grandson had a wonderful time playing "hide and seek", the house is full of interesting nooks. The sleeping arrangements were wonderful. The 5 year old had his own room with 2 twin beds and loved having a choice of which to sleep in each night. The books in the living room were so interesting. My family loved learning about the local families from some of the high school year books of the 1920's. We could walk to the stores, restaurants and Harbor within a block or less. The vegetarians in our family loved the local store with its fresh produce and vegetarian friendly products. The house itself has such an interesting layout. We were all able to spread out and not get in each others way or come together and enjoy each others company in rooms large enough to accommodate all of us. The rooms were all clean and inviting. My son-in-law had to put in some hours working and we appreciated having the Internet available so that he could come with us. We did nature walks, climbed a small mountain and traveled the Island. I have always loved Bar Harbor and we would absolutely stay here again. We had a great time. Thank you Johanna for enhancing our visit.

A group of my friends and I love the Acadia area. We usually stay in a motel but this was a wonderful choice for our group. The house had everything and more than you could ask for it's central location was such an added treat. We had so much privacy in the house that we could have the time to do our own things and not be in eachothers way. If we had any questions we just picked up the phone and got an answer . The owner was always available to us. It was a wonderful time in such a great home. For us it was a perfect choice.
Owner's Response: Thank you Kathleen! This group's" travel arranger" Judy was enthusiastic in the plans for the group and a blast to work with. I appreciated the opportunity to show that a summer rental had advantages and was thrilled that you all had a great time. You will now be known as "group travel secretary" since emailing me that all the gals thought each other had written a review. And had fun with that realization.. You gals were my September highlight. Come back again!

Family Vacation

Amazingly, house seems bigger than 2700 square feet. There are 4 large bedrooms on the second floor. There were 7 of us and we only used 3 of the bedrooms. Downstairs has large kitchen with dining table; there is a large dining room with another dining table which we never even used. Downstairs also had 3 good size living rooms. We only spent time in 1 of the living rooms. House was so big we only used part of it. House is very clean and owner (Johanna) is very accomodating and perhaps the nicest owner/renter we have dealt with. Bathrooms were well kept with plenty of clean linens. Towels were actually rolled up and we felt, at times, like we were in a hotel. There is a nice deck on the side of the house with ocean views. House is literally steps from "downtown" Southwest Harbor. I highly recommend this house.
Owner's Response: Thanks for the review and the compliment. Your comments echo the special feelings the house provokes. I try my best to keep that going in the small touches. Somehow it is the small things that are remembered. Thank you for leaving the house happier through your visit. It was my pleasure to have your family visit.

Relaxing Vacation

We had a great first visit to Acadia Park and throughly enjoyed our stay in Southwest Harbor. Johanna was wonderful in all aspects to making sure we arrived okay to arranging for some fresh lobsters to be brought for our dinner one evening. The house was clean, well maintained and had everything needed for our stay. The house was also amazingly cool during the day. We did not miss air conditioning at all!
The home is huge with more rooms than you will ever need. Not a problem finding some privacy here! The side porch is a particularly nice place to sit and read a book or just relax and enjoy being on vacation.
The house location is wonderful - away from the hub of Bar Harbor but still easily accessible to everything on the island with some of the best restaurants just minutes away by car or you can easily walk to the bakery, bike shop, stores, restaurants and even the kayaking company in "downtown" Southwest Harbor.

Owner's Response: I am so pleased that Marcie and John came away from Mount Desert and the Thomas Richard House with a favorable impression. It is a wonderful compliment when a guest takes the time to share their thoughts. Thank you both and I do hope that you come back again it was my pleasure.

Wonderful Stay with my whole family. House is spacious, very clean and very well maintained. Owner and neighbors are super friendly. Would highly recommend this house.

Owner's Response: Wonderful is what really describes Maine so to have Fred describe his experience this way is a double compliment. Fred and Nikki spend their annual family vacation on Mount Desert Island. So it was great to get the call for a return family stay for 2011. I look forward to doing everything possible to make their 2011 stay even more memorable with upgrades that have been made to the property since 2010. Thanks Fred and Nikki!
