“The highlight of each year!!” My family has stayed at the Lito Lodge for 10 years - our first visit was in 2004!! We first came when our children were 6 and 8, and now 15 and 17 they still look forward to our annual visit. Acadia is an easy car ride. We visit the park each day to hike and/or bike. Every year we do things we have never done before as there is so much to see and do on Mount Desert Island. The best part of each day is our return to the Lito Lodge. We often stop at Downeast Lobster Pound in Trenton on our way home, have them cook our lobster, and then we can eat them as we marvel at the view from the Lodge!! The Lito Lodge has everything we need and more! Our annual week here is the highlight of our family's year!

“We discovered our most peaceful selves in this cottage on Penobs” My husband and I rented this absolutely perfect cottage on the Penobscot Bay during our visit to the Downeast region of Maine in august, 2012. We wanted a comfortable home-base with a great view from which to set out each day for trips to acadia National Park, Blue Hill,and other shore town destinations. The cottage not only met, but exceeded our expectations. Photos just can't do justice to the gorgeous panoramic views of the bay that you can take in from the living room area and from the yard. Each morning we drank our tea along the edge of the property and watched the grey gulls and herons fly across the bay. We njoyed the ever-changing landscape of the bay at high and low tides. In the evenings, we cooked elaborate lobster dinners (finding everything we could need within the superbly appointed kitchen) and then enjoyed dining on various nights either in the cottage's indoor dining room or on the outdoor deck. When not feasting on lobster, we grilled a chicken one night on the charcoal grill. After dinners, we'd curl up on the cozy living room furniture and read in front of the fireplace. While we only used it once, the satellite TV was large and well-placed. Each morning we loved waking up to the view of the bay outside our window. The storage shed was perfect for our bicycles, keeping them safe and dry when not in use. The bathroom is a squeeze, both in terms of the location of the toilet and the size of the shower, but in-all, a very functional space. If I was pressed to find anything at all to be improved upon at this cottage it would only be to have more electrical outlets in the bathroom, and for the fridge door to open the opposite way in the kitchen. Otherwise, everything about our stay was perfect. There was even a sweet, playful, neighborhood dog that would visit us for games of catch. We hope you too will have the opportunity to stay in this beautiful, quiet, comfortable, and well-appointed cottage!

“Beautiful home-away-from-home” We had visited acadia National Park the previous year and camped for a week in the rain. Wanting to revisit the area, we decided to make it more comfortable by finding a rental. We couldn't have been more pleased with this Southwest Harbor owned by Tim Clements. It was further away from acadia than we had hoped but the benefit was that we were able to explore this area of the island as well which we probably wouldn't have done otherwise. It was an easy drive to go to the other sites we wanted to visit as well. The apartment was beautifully decorated, immaculate, quiet and had all the amenities to make us feel right at home. We enjoyed barbequing on their nice large grill in a quiet backyard. Tim and his wife were available when needed and were very helpful in answering all of our questions. Our teenage nieces who were with us were particularly amused by the singing fish plaque on the wall! We would highly recommend this rental!

“Perfect!” We loved this apartment. It was right in the middle of downtown Bar Harbor, had a parking space, was convenient to everything, and was in great shape. Tom was wonderful to deal with - everything was exactly as promised and the apartment was perfectly clean.
