We just spent a magical week here with our four boys (aged eight and under) and we’re already scheming our next visit. This house is genuinely one of the best places we’ve ever stayed with young kids, and we don’t say that lightly.The location was ideal for everything we wanted to do — close to Bar Harbor, Acadia, and all the spots that made our week so special. It’s a beautiful, thoughtfully equipped home that clearly was set up by people who care.The setup for families is exceptional. The yard was perfect for the boys to run around while the baby napped, and both the yard and the porch felt so safe for the kids to play on. We especially loved that the landscaping created a clear, natural boundary from the water — as parents of little ones, that gave us real peace of mind.And the chipmunks! The kids were absolutely enchanted. We loved that they had names, and the boys were convinced they could tell them apart and spent the week calling them by name. Feeding them became one of the highlights of the whole trip.We also have to mention the binder — we read the entire thing, and it’s hands down the most helpful guest binder we have ever come across. The local recommendations were spot on. Sweet Peas, in particular, was a fantastic call: they have a whole field where the kids can play with soccer balls while you eat, and the food was excellent!

Came to Baycliff for a week of cross country skiing on the Acadia carriage roads. The house is wonderful! It is very warm and cozy. The views are truly like a postcard. The kitchen had the appliances/dishes/utencils/pots and pans I needed to make my own meals and the washer and dryer were very helpful. The location is very convenient to Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor. The owner was extremely responsive and friendly. If you have the opportunity to stay here, do it!

The house was clean, views were amazing (especially sunrise), the kitchen was well appointed (would like a toaster), rooms have amazing views of the bay, the deck would have been great to utilize but the weather was cool, loved the drive through the woods to get to the house, and the host periodically called to make sure all was well.Property was very private.

What an amazing place. The view of Frenchman’s Bay, the house and all amenities, communication with owner/manager, proximity to Acadia and downtown Bar Harbor was beyond excellent! We could not have asked for anything better. Having the chipmunks to feed was a sweet bonus. Highly recommend!!! Liked: cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Ronda L.

This charming New England home was perfect for our first visit to Maine. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking in, Conveniently located to downtown Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. But also perfect for relaxing on the deck and taking in the amazing view. Kevin is a fantastic host, quickly responds to all communication, and clearly loves sharing this property with others. We will be back to Baycliff! Liked: cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Cynthia W.
