Photos and Description of the Mount Desert vacation house rental
3 -4 bedrooms, 3-4 full bathrooms, sleeps 10-12. On free bus route!

Beautifully remodeled 3 bedroom/ 2 bath farmhouse. Nestled in a quiet field overlooking Gorham Mountain. This house is just 1 mile from hiking and biking in Acadia National Park or lying on the beach. Just 4 miles from Bar Harbor on the free public transportation loop. Great location for day and evening activities or just sitting and watching sunsets off the back deck. Kitchen and bath remodel 2004. Great for entertaining, or just doing nothing, and relaxing on the deck, taking in the view. Great place for children. Brand new hot tub outside on the back deck. Wood floors throughout. The downstairs is very sunny and open. Because this is our real home, the kitchen is fully stocked with all the basics plus many extras. In the bathrooms, soaps and shampoos are provided, as flying with theses items is so difficult! Our home is simple, but the linens and towels are always of high quality, so you feel spoiled on your vacation. As nurses we keep it VERY CLEAN! There is an apartment as well.

Guest Comments: 'This wonderful sanctuary of yours has allowed for a very relaxing time on the Island. We have been really comfortable visiting and playing games together, here at the house. With the lovely view of Gorham Mountain, we don't feel the need to go out and about. Its been lovely talking to Angela and Chris' (7/11)

'Your renovations are fantastic and your home is a truly calm and peaceful place' ( 7/11)

'You have a beautiful, cheery home. Thank your children for letting ours play with their toys & books' (8/11)

'This was our 1st visit to your lovely home. I love it so much that for the week, I pretend it's mine' (8/11)

'Having rented on MDI a number of times, this has truly been the nicest rental we have had. All those little extras make a difference' (8/11)

' The house is just beautiful- the wrap around porch with a view of the mountains is spectacular' (7/11)

'We had a great time staying in your home. It is a great location for visiting all the surrounding area' (8/11)

New addition with a full bathroom added in 2010. We have been told by all our friends who rent- why are you renting this for so cheap?! It really is a beautiful home!

The farmhouse was just as promised. The location was great. On a central road but set well back from it. I didn't worry at all about our little kids. The house has been very nicely updated. Owners provided great customer service when we had a quick question upon arrival. So close to ANP and downtown Bar Harbor in one direction, Seal Harbor and Northeast in the other. Lovely setting and we used the hot tub every night to soothe our aching hiking muscles! Also loved Sand Beach, Tidepool School (through the Park Service), Touch Tank for Kids at College of the Atlantic, carriage ride at Wildwood Stables. Don't miss the Ranger Programs at the National Park and the popovers at Jordan Pond House. A great stay. We will be back.

We had a wonderful vacation in your beautiful well kept, very clean home. There was plenty of room for everyone, 9 of us in total. The beds were very comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed to have some meals at home. Hot tub was great, the kids really enjoyed it!
We enjoyed sitting on the back deck in the evening and no bugs was a definite plus!
We had a daily visitor sometimes twice a day, come up in the yard... a beautiful deer!!
That was a real treat to watch him. The surrounding area is breathtaking, plenty to do to keep everyone busy and entertained. We would not hesitate to recommend this home to other travelers and would definitely stay again if we visit the area in the future. Thanks Angie and Chris

Wonderful, Well Appointed House

This is a wonderful, well equipped house in a great location a few miles outside Bar Harbor and close to Acadia National Park. For us it was ideally located--far enough out of town to feel peaceful and secluded, a stone's throw from Acadia and still just a couple of minutes to Bar Harbor.The owners take great care of their property and it is spacious, clean and comfortable. We were traveling with 4 adults and 3
children, and there was plenty of room for all of us.It was wonderful waking up in the morning and having coffee on the deck overlooking the mountains, and just as nice taking in the stars from the hot tub at night.

The owners were extremely accommodating and easy to work with, and our deposit was returned very quickly. Very highly recommended!

Perfect Family Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: June 26, 2012 Stayed: July 2009
We have found the Farmhouse to be a perfect place to spend a family
vacation. The house is beautiful and comfortable and Chris and Angie are
gracious and very informative hosts. The house is centrally located to all
kinds of activities. While we have always had a car, we often park it and
walk, drive or catch the bus for all our activities. Depending on the
family's interest, we have hiked, biked, canoed, swam (it's cold!!),
picniced, star-gazed, whale-watched and attended more Park Ranger programs
than we can count. There truly are activities for all ages. My family looks
forward to returning to this beautiful place and spending time as a family
- looking for new adventures and repeating all our favorite activities.

Delightful vacation home

Our family (2 seniors, 6 young adults, 2 children) enjoyed a delightful week at Acadia National Park to celebrate grandma's 70th birthday. Angie and Chris's house provided a perfect home-away-from-home for us. We also rented the basement apartment so we had plenty of room for all 10 of us. The house is spacious, charming, clean, comfortable, and fun. The location is ideal, and we loved the beautiful view of a natural meadow with Gorham Mountain in the background. The house had every conceivable amenity and provided for all our needs ranging from shampoo to flashlights---even birthday cake candles! The kitchen was fully equipped and the huge pantry was jammed packed with all sorts of goodies. There was also an abundance of books, games and toys for the children. The hot tub and the indoor hammock provided hours of fun. All this reflects Angie and Chris’s generosity and hospitality towards their guests. We felt pampered! In short, we had a wonderful time, and would not hesitate to return to Angie and Chris’s home if we visit Acadia again.

Excellent choice!!!

This was our 2nd visit to Mt Desert Island. We had decided to rent the farmhouse because we have 4 children and enjoy accommodations with washer/dryer and kitchen facilities. We found the farmhouse to be well beyond our expectations. The home is beautifully re-modeled, extremely clean and upon entering you feel relaxed and comfortable! Not being the "tourist trap" type of people, we enjoyed the distance from downtown Bar Harbor...far enough to feel secluded and at peace but yet close enough to enjoy the shopping/dining that Bar Harbor has to offer. The location is great for access to Seal Cove, carriage trail bike rides, hiking and just enjoying the beauty that Acadia National Park has to offer. The hot tub was an added bonus following days full of activity and exploration! The home owners were very easy to communicate with in scheduling of the vacation and even offered helpful advice/suggestions as to things to do/see in the immediate area. Directions to the home were provided by the home owner and were detailed and simple to follow. Instructions in the home (how to work appliances/TV, who to call in event of home emergencies, etc...) were clearly displayed in the home. I would definitely recommend this property to friends/relatives! We enjoyed our vacation so much we are considering making Mt Desert Island our annual summer trip and would definitely want to spend it at the farmhouse!

Owner's Response: Seal Harbor actually...Seal Cove is the other side of the Island- but thanks for the great review!

My sister and I and our families have vacationed together near Acadia National Park for the last 25 years, ever since our children were preschool age. As they got older, and our families grew larger, we needed a new place. We could not believe our luck when we found Chris and Angie’s wonderful Otter Creek house. Its location is superb; you can ride your bike down to Otter Point and the Beach Trail in Acadia National Park or take the challenge of the Loop Road. With a car it is only a short ride into Bar Harbor, the Park Headquarters, or any of the many park maintained hikes. The same is true for sand beach, numerous lobster pounds and the meeting points for many ranger led activities. The house is gorgeous, with all the amenities of a modern home. We spend many hours on the back deck within sight of the mountains we climb during the day. The younger generation loves the hot tub, and the youngest generation has appreciated zooming around the driveway on the wheeled vehicles of Chris and Angies’ children. A highlight of our time there was the wedding of my niece last summer on the rocks of Otter Point. It was the most beautiful wedding I have ever attended, and the makeshift reception at Chris and Angies’ will long be remembered. I cannot recommend it more hightly.
