Like staying in a museum, in the best wayThis house was incredible. We spent a week here and felt like we were living in a museum, surrounded by beautiful, interesting pieces everywhere you look. Clean, comfortable, and very well furnished.The location was perfect for exploring Acadia. Everything we wanted on the island was 15-30 minutes away.One heads-up: the upper level involves some narrow stairs, so it could be challenging for anyone with mobility issues, and probably isn't ideal for small children. Neither applied to us, so it was no problem.We'd absolutely stay again.

This was truly an exceptional stay. The house is an architectural gem built in 1994 allowing nature, light and beauty into the unique structure. Stefano was a perfect and generous host. I would recommend this stay to anyone wanting to be near Acadia but not near the tourism of Bar Harbor. It's truly a secluded, quiet yet convenient location.

Our stay at A Prism in the Wood was nothing short of extraordinary. This magnificent home is a true masterpiece, blending artistic design with exceptional comfort. The house was impeccably clean and thoughtfully organized. Every amenity we could possibly need was provided. With the fresh scent of pine trees, the unobstructed view of woodlands at every level, and sightings of deer, foxes, we felt like we were one with nature. The location was perfect, tucked away on the quieter side of the island, yet just 10-20 minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia’s highlights, making it ideal for exploring. This home is a treasure, and we can’t wait to return in early spring. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a perfect blend of serenity, style, and convenience.
