Little Elm is an absolutely beautiful home. The location is great, with shops and restaurants within walking distance, as well as community events. The whole house was perfect. Great space, very clean with everything you could need. The backyard was also amazing, with lovely seating to spend a relaxing evening after hiking through Arcadia Park. Highly recommend this property. Michael and Libby are fabulous hosts.

Fantastic place to stay! Beautiful home inside and out! Walkable to several restaurants and much quieter than in Bar Harbor.

If you're looking for a clean, modern, well-maintained home that sits on the Quiet Side of Mount Desert Island, this is it. Its location, although a bit noisy at times due to traffic, puts you within driving distance of Acadia National Park and all that it features, and in walking distance of great spots in Southwest Harbor, like Little Notch Bakery, Clark Point Cafe and, if you can walk a little longer, Beall's lobsters. It has a lovely backyard with a deck, barbecue and fire table and is nicely landscaped throughout. It comes well-stocked with just about everything you need to enjoy your stay.

Our first time visiting Acadia and it was so much fun!. The house was very clean and had a nice fenced backyard for our medium and large sized dogs. Highly recommended!
