Kitchen was well stocked and the openness to the community spaces, living room a dining was great. We liked how the bedrooms and adjacent bathrooms were on either side of the living room, for privacy. There were comfortable spaces to sit in bedrooms and living room.The seclusion of the house, the wooded lot contributed to the quiet.The owner/host of the house was available when we needed her.

The Perfect Location!

I really cannot say enough about this home and its location. My family of 4 (2 adults, 2 youths) and our two dogs (windsprites) spent a week in the house and were so sad to leave! The space was perfect- 3 good sized bedrooms, 2 full baths and a large open common area with kitchen, dining, and living spaces. We could not find the key initially, but the owner was very responsive on the Vrbo chat and let us know where it was. We were a short walk to an amazing public beach (Seal Harbor) and a short drive from all of the amazing peaks in Acadia - we hiked 4 of them during our stay including the iconic Cadillac Mountain. The house is also an easy drive to Bar Harbor for lots of great restaurant options. I really cannot say enough about this property and its location. It is in a quiet neighborhood too - do not hesitate you cannot beat this property!
Little Long Pond just down the road.
Red squirrels everywhere!

So close yet feels so far away

What a home! Comfortable and cozy and super clean, with everything you need. It’s away from the hubbub of Bar Harbor but only takes 10 minutes to get there or NE area. Wonderful hikes are also so close, and can walk down to seal harbor beach or the cute little block of town.

Convenient and quiet

This is a lovely house in a very convenient location away from the bustle by close to so much. Like others, we hesitate to let the secret out about this right-size home for our group of four adults. The well-equipped house is tucked away in the woods with modern appliances and pretty much everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owners and caretaker were available and responsive when we had a minor issue upon our arrival. We will plan to return for future visits!

True to description and reviews

Hidden House II is true to it’s wonderful description and high reviews. Nature surrounds you. The setting is a quiet haven away from the noise and crowds of Bar Harbor. And yet, the location is convenient to everything and close to Acadia National Park. House is spacious, comfortable, exceptionally clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you’ll need & more. Heat on a chilly morning was easy to regulate. Research on the family history (father served a long term as one of Harvard’s most significant presidents) enriched our stay. Beautiful neighborhood with some steep, narrow roads. Thank you, Rosemary & David, for an amazing 2 weeks. We absolutely loved it; and like other guests, hope to keep it a bit of a secret so we can return. Julie & Paul, Traverse City, MI

Hidden House 2

Hidden House 2 is located in the woods in Seal Harbor, Maine within walking distance of Seal Harbor beach and town and the entrance to Acadia National Park. My wife and I enjoy Hidden House 2 so much that this is our 4rd stay. The house is well equipped and immaculately clean. The owners are very responsive to any questions. Hidden House 2 is a great base for peace and quiet while visiting Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. Staying here you feel you are staying in the park. It is beautiful and highly recommended.

Home Away From Home, Only Better

This house is in a wooded area, yet with houses close by. It's very quiet there. Also, it's very dark at night. The house is clean and well stocked. It was very comfortable. This was our third time staying there. We recommend it.
