Wonderful place to stay

Wolfe’s Way is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. It was clean and quiet. Very well equipped home. The location is great, close to shopping and dining. Close to Acadia but also other wonderful spots to explore like Jasper Beach known as the “singing beach” and Quoddy Head State Park where you will find cool cliff walks. Would definitely book again and stay longer next time!

Peaceful and relaxing bliss

Very quiet and perfect place to recharge. Home is very well stocked. Communication was great. Checking in and out a breeze. We spent time in Bar Habor, and Acadia National Park. Beautiful place. Shopping and restaurants were only a short drive. If we decide to visit the area again this would be our frist call.

Relaxing, rustic vacation

The property was beautiful and the house was cozy. There was a problem with the plumbing and we had to be moved abruptly off the property but the property manager was very responsive and helpful. We wished there were more towels or that the washer/dryer was operable as noted in the listing, but overall everything felt clean and comfortable.

Clean and comfy house in a lovely setting

The house was perfectly set up for our family with plenty of shared space for playing games and also separate spaces for quiet reading. The view of the tidal river was beautiful. Bring your binoculars! A bald eagle landed in a tree along the river on the property while we were sitting at the picnic table.

Peaceful location—place needs attention

Nice spot. Decent furnishings except upstairs bathroom needs a good cleaning. Shower and sink were clean but floor, walls and baseboard—ugh. Floors in general were not clean. Upstairs bedroom mattress is well worn—way past its replacement date. Pretty spot to watch the bird life, relax. Watch the tides—when low it turns into mud flats.

missing some essentials

The house was cool. Nice setting on the water. It was surface cleaned but had a lot of cob webs and dust and hair on tables and fans. I have pictures if owner wants them. Kitchen was missing towels and hot pads, missing grill essentials. Also no extra pillows or blankets. Just a lot of little things not up top par.
