A Hidden Gem

Central location. 15-30 minutes from anything on MDI. Comfortable home with everything you may need, and the cleanest dog-friendly house I've rented.

Azalea Knoll is truly a hidden gem. The location is ideal! Peaceful yet perfectly situated between Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor, with quick access to trails, restaurants, and Acadia highlights. The home was spotless and thoughtfully designed, with high ceilings, a great kitchen, and multiple cozy spots to unwind after a day of exploring. We especially enjoyed relaxing on the deck and by the fire pit in the evenings. Karen and Colby were wonderful hosts. We’d absolutely return!

This house has everything you need for relaxing after a long day on the water or on the trails. The kitchen has all kinds of cooking equipment, and stocks the basics for most meals that you can envision, including most spices, oils, etc. There's even a big pot for steaming up that fresh "lobstah" and the tools needed to eat it! The game room has ping-pong, corn-hole, and other fun things for active folks, with board games, books and TVs for others. We hated to leave, but Hurricane Lee had us out of there a day early. Excellent communication with the host made this one of our best VRBO experiences!

My husband and I got married at Acadia National Park during our stay here and were even able to walk to our first look at the Somesville bridge. It really was the perfect home base for our week. This property gives you everything you could ask for in terms of space and amenities. Other reviews are spot on that the pictures really don't do it justice. The entire house was very clean and ready for our arrival. Would definitely stay here again.

We had an excellent time in the National Park and enjoying the local fare. Very clean location. Bar Harbor was a little to touristy for us so enjoyed the more local towns and lobster houses along the coast. The National Park is definitely worth the hikes and scenic views. The house was immaculate and I would rate the owner and property a 10 plus. Plus the deer that showed up at dusk.
