Clean and quiet older apartment with all amenities. Easy access about 3 miles away to visitors center to catch bus into town. Hosts do their best to make your stay enjoyable and stress free. This is a garage apartment so be aware there are stairs but a very good place to stay while enjoying the beautiful area of Bar Harbor and Acadia.

Great experience
If you are going to Bar Harbor I highly recommend staying here. The location was relaxing and quiet, town is about 10 minutes away. The book of information on the table was fantastic. Everything that we needed was available to make our hiking trip enjoyable. The owners Gayle & Rob are fantastic and very knowledgeable. I am so glad that we skipped the hotel stay and enjoyed their place.

Dragonfly Woods was the perfect quiet and peaceful location for our trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. The listing and photos were a true representation of the property. The apartment was extremely clean with all the amenities one would want for a very comfortable stay. The hosts were quickly responsive to any questions that we had. We would definetely stay here again.

Perfect stay at Dragonfly woods
Gayle and Rob have been very communicative and gave some great tips already ahead of the trip. Property was very clean and equipped with everything we need (e.g. full kitchen, washer/dryer, heat & cool system, Grill ). Lots of attention to details too (paper towel, Alu foil, olive oil, tabs for dishwasher and washer…). Location is also perfect to reach Bar Harbor and National Park. Big plus was to be able to bring our dog and have ample space to let him run (even though it was not really needed after long days of hiking and biking ;-)

Our stay here at the Dragonfly Woods was very awesome and very smooth from the beginning to the end. Not only is the location in a wonderful spot but also Rob and Gayle are two of the most hospitable hosts out there. They were always there when we needed it and were very helpful with guiding us with great recommendations throughout the area. We would definitely recommend staying here if you are staying in Bar Harbor area.

Really nice place, we were extremely happy there. The furnishings are solid quality which is hard to come by in rentals from our experience. Nicely decorated and very functional. Everything was there that we needed and the outdoor space was lovely and quiet. Seriously high value for the price, we were so grateful and will be back! Perfect for our family and such a great couple to rent from.

Great lication outside of Bar Harbor
Welcoming hosts and apartment that lend to the perfect location for a relaxing trip to Maine. Conveniently located with a short drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia, made this a dream spot. Robert and Gayle went above and beyond with the preparation to our arrival and provided a clean and safe place to rest in between exploring MDI and surrounding area. Their informational guide book was essential and very much appreciated in our search for trails, restaurants, and local attractions. We would absolutely recommend this property and would love to return one day!

Fabulous Space
This is one of my favorite VRBO stays ever. Everything was wonderful! The apartment was very clean and everything you need is there, even for a lobster boil! The bed is super comfy too. Gayle and Rob both made sure our stay was exactly what we needed. Rob was able to advise on some water and RV generator issues we were having too. This spot is close to everything you would want to see on Mount Desert Island. There is bus service right nearby, so parking on the island doesn't have to be so crazy. We stayed here the month of July in 2023 and had a fantastic time. This is a great place to come home to after hiking, kayaking, visiting Bar Harbor, or spending the day at the beach. Just spending some time outside in the beautiful yard with the hammock or at the fire pit was very relaxing. I highly recommend this space.

The apartment was very clean upon our arrival and the kitchen was well equipped. The apartment was perfect for my wife and I, our daughter and our dog. Next time we visit Mt Desert Island, we will definitely check to see if this property is available.

Best location and hosts you’ll ever ever find.
My goodness I just wanted to move in to this apartment. It was so clean and equipped. Everything was so homey and 10 minutes away from EVERYTHING worth seeing. We spent days in Acadia and Bar Harbor. It was magical. I was literally somewhat depressed to leave. These hosts are everything. I wanted them to adopt me. They make you feel so welcome and at home. Truly one of the best experiences I’ve had if not the best. It’s not fancy, but it’s so cozy and perfect I just can’t say enough good things. The whale watching tour was incredible. We went to Scooners Point, which I can’t recommend enough. The sunsets were unreal in the harbor and nearby. Everyday felt like a precious gift. We have an autistic 11 year old and he was happy as a clam. We will DEFINITELY be back. Without question. Love. Love. Love.

Rob and Gayle are phenomenal hosts - knowledgeable about the area, friendly, sincere, generous. The apartment location could not be better- a couple of minutes drive to Acadia, center of Bar Harbor. Yet, it's private, away frown touristy hustle and bustle. You can really relax here; there is a fire pit, a grill, and a hammock. The apartment itself is very clean, and with everything you could possibly need. I had a very comfortable stay here, and would love to come back time and time again.
