Meet The Host

I have loved Maine since I was a little girl and spent many summers traipsing around Mount Desert Island, playing in the surf, and hiking just about every mountain peak. I moved here full time after I retired a couple of years ago. Best thing I've ever done, and I can't wait to share the wonders of Acadia National Park with my guests.

Getting around

Car is recommended but the free Island Explorer bus right down the street is a great way to see the park while avoiding the seasonal parking issues. Visit the Acadia National Park website https://www.nps.gov/acad/index.htm to plan your trip and purchase a park pass online.

Bangor airport is about an hour away, and the smaller Bar Harbor Airport is right down the street. Airport shuttles and taxis are available. You can catch Uber or Lyft from Bangor but they are less available near the Island.
