5 stars – A fantastic stay! We had an amazing time staying at Leslie’s place! The home was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. The beds were super comfortable, the house is beautifully decorated and all the amenities (Wi-Fi, kitchen supplies, toiletries) were thoughtfully provided. Also, the fire pit and back yard views were really great. The location was perfect—close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Leslie was an exceptional host—friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and they even provided some great local tips that made our trip extra special. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

Our stay at Leslie’s property was fantastic! Great location with abundant wildlife, we got to see the seals on the beach, the birds fishing, and a deer also paid a visit. Close to Bar Harbor and Ellsworth, but private with lots to do while relaxing. Also super responsive for any questions or needs. Would definitely stay again!
