Cute
Very cute place. Very clean, had most amenities, just no spices if you are planning to cook. Very quiet neighborhood and close to Bar Harbor. Also, is right next to the main road. Wasn’t too much of a bother since the traffic was low.

Great launching point to Acadia
We had a great stay at the Main Escape. They provided great instructions for an easy check in / out. A couple of personalized tips definitely helped our adventure. Close to the park but nicely outside of the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. It was private and nice to have so good space to relax after a day at the park. We didn’t want to leave :)

Great little place
We stayed here with our daughter and very much enjoyed our stay. The place is well equipped, clean, and comfy. We were in a good location to get to Bar Harbor and Acadia easily. The road noise did disturb the quiet beauty a bit but didn’t keep us awake at night

Our Maine Experience
The unit was very clean and the beds were comfortable. It was very nice to have extra supplies given to us upon our arrival. The kitchen had things needed to create meals, including salt and pepper, Pam spray, and supplies such as coffee filters, foil, trash bags, and dish soap. The location was perfect for us, as it was easy access to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, yet tucked away from crowds. We had a great time!

Comfortable, bright, clean
We were pleased with the stay for the most part. Easy access, clean, comfortable. Unfortunately some supplies were short, ie, toilet paper, soap, laundry soap. We requested these but did not hear back in a timely manner. We had to borrow laundry soap and tp from our son, and we bought soap. Eventually all was provided. Even though it was off-season, we thought communication could have been better.

Pleasant
Accomodations where fine. My only critique would be the cleaning. I come from a military background and when we clean it's from top to bottom. I notice dust buildup on the over head light over the dining room table, ceiling fan and above the kitchen cabinets. They also missed cleaning the second shelves under the coffee table which was full of animal hair which I cleaned because it was a turn off for me. Lamp shade could have also used some dusting as well. This is why I only gave you 3 stars. My suggestion is if your going to rent out such a nice apartment then clean it like you live there.

Clean and convenient
This is a tidy, well looked-after place to stay on Mt Desert Island, conveniently close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. We spent most of our time out of the apartment, but it was nice to have a comfortable place to relax in the evening. The kitchen had everything we needed - no dishwasher but that wasn't a big deal. The only minor complaint was that it is a little close to a main road (Route 3) and we could hear the traffic passing by. But otherwise, it is a nice place to stay.

Great place to stay!
We loved staying here! It was very clean, good kitchen amenities in the house and the outdoor patio was perfect. Very close to acadia and to bar harbor and many restaurants just down the road. The hosts left a lovely book with lots of details of places and restaurants around the area. Good wifi. One thing of note for dog owners, since it is on the second floor and the steps have partially spaced out slats, my dog had a little bit of trouble going up and down the stairs. He was able to manage it with a little help from us but for dog owners with dogs that have trouble with stairs, you may have to carry them up and down.
