What a fantastic week near Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor…read more Located in Trenton, the 3 bedroom, 2 bath home was perfect for a relaxing family vacation filled with hiking, sailing and fishing. So nice to be able to wake up and watch the sunrise over the water, watch the sunset or see the stars on a clear night. Trenton Lobster Pound is within walking distance. The Acadia Visitors Island is close by on Thompson Island. Check-in was so easy. Nice to be treated to goodies likes whoopie pies, Maine blueberry jam and a bag of chips. The kichen was fully stocked with pots and pans, a few spices and storage bags. Nice to have hand soaps and hand sanitizer. Thanks for the reminder to bring body wash, shampoo and bug spray. The library had cards, Bar Harbor-o-poly, Boggle and Jenga. WiFi worked well. There was also a washer and dryer, but no A/C. So peaceful and quiet. Nice to able to open the windows at night to enjoy the fresh sea breeze. Charming house. Great hosts. So sad that we had to check out.

The house was magnificent and we had a perfect time on Mount Desert Island, but the property…read moremanagement company was actively dishonest in returning our deposit. Admittedly we were still in the house at checkout time, having just finished packing up, but the property management company used the opportunity to claim that we were in the house for hours afterwards (we weren't) preventing the cleaning staff from working. Rather than simply penalizing us, they pretended to have already sent us our deposit, and then claimed we deserved none of our deposit. Eventually we only got half of our deposit back ($250). The house rental itself was rather expensive, but we accepted that it was worth it. Yet, we felt horribly cheated when we had to argue back and forth for weeks just to get part of our deposit back. Sadly, we will look elsewhere for a vacation spot next year. Really, we would have almost paid the additional amount from the beginning, but being cheated like that really tainted the experience.

This is a cozy dog-friendly inn and a great location to come back to after a day of…read moreexploring/hiking/eating. Parking on premises is very close, so it was always easy to load/unload, the yard outside is perfect for letting your dog out for a walk in the mornings and evenings, and the rooms were on the small side but cozy. It was like renting a small apartment for the three days we were there. We didn't expect anything above and beyond in terms of amenities, so don't expect a 4-star hotel at this place. It's a great, dog-friendly place with free parking, at a rate that's very affordable. To those with issues about the state of the dog-friendly annexes (the only place on premises you can stay with a dog), we found it clean and presentable. The ceilings look like they had recently had a new facade put over them to cover some of the more unsightly stains found in a previous Yelp review, but we didn't mind. As a plus, our puppy scratched off a few speckles of paint off of the front door when my wife went outside for 3 minutes to move the car. Upon checkout we asked Tim (who seems to own the place) how much we owed for the damage. When he asked how bad the damage was and heard it was just superficial, he thanked us very genuinely for letting him know instead of slipping out without mentioning it and said there'd be no extra charge for the damage. (Though I will admit, the paint on the door was pretty shoddy and cheap that it came off so easily, but it's not anything that detracted from our stay) Long story short, if you're looking for a no-frills, functional place to stay that allows dogs, has free and accessible parking, and is priced reasonably, this is it. Location is a 10-15 minute walk to Main Street, but we had a car, so it wasn't an issue.

The location is perfectly situated within a short drive to Acadia and walking distance to restaurants and shops in Bar Harbor. The rooms in the annex building were recently renovated and were very clean and comfortable. Thank you Tim and Danielle for a wonderful stay, we will definitely be back!!

Unfortunately, I would not recommend renting from Salt Air Properties. I recently booked an Airbnb…read morethrough them for a future stay in October, but found out my father in law had recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. As soon as we found out, I knew that our plans may need to change as his prognosis wasn't looking good so I went to Airbnb to see what our cancellation options were. I realized I was 3 days late to a full refund. The partial refund was still available to me though, which was 50% a night minus the service fee. I figured it might still be worth a shot to explain the situation at hand and see if the host was able to accommodate us, and make exception for a full refund or even a credit for a future stay. I sent Amanda a direct message with the request mentioned, and she had advised to reach out to Airbnb to explore my cancellation options. I reached out to Airbnb and they said I could try to request for the full refund and though there is a cancellation policy, the host can ultimately decide if they want to honor a full refund and make exceptions given the situation at hand. They even said they saw the messages and felt the host was understanding so requesting the full refund looked promising. Anyways, we tried working out having me request the full refund and I was not able to due to access issues. The Airbnb agent then said she could request for at least what I was already owed (50% minus service fee), and I can just request for the remaining balance after and the host will just have to approve that request for the full refund. It wasn't until after that I realized by doing that, Airbnb had to cancel my reservation. I asked if it could be undone but they said it could not. So, that was done but I figured I'll just do what I can now. I submitted for the remaining balance and even uploaded documents of proof of us going to the pulmonologist and being recently diagnosed. Within a day or two, I got a message that Amanda denied the full refund. I got my partial refund, but there was an amount I lost. I reached out to her again and requested if there was a possibility I can just rebook the same reservation (with the same dates) so at least some of my other family members can go even if some of us had to stay back. The dates were still available, I requested to pay back the refund I got back, but just requested if we can just at least use the funds I lost during this process towards the reservation again. Amanda said no and that I would have to rebook the reservation again and essentially now, pay MORE because she was not willing to use those lost funds towards the original reservation. I am truly upset by the lack of professionalism, empathy, compassion, and communication by the host. What was the purpose of having me reach out to Airbnb to explore my cancellation options if you knew you weren't going to honor the full refund or credit request? Amanda could have been fully transparent and also practiced more compassion to explain that she understood the situation at hand but couldn't honor the request and a partial refund would be the best she could do. I would have been more than fine with that because I do understand I missed the cancellation policy for a full refund by a few days. But not being direct, transparent, and compassionate was disheartening. On top of that, not even considering the accommodation of returning the reservation to us if I was willing to pay back the refund and use my lost funds towards it... that was all I needed to know about her. Greed over compassion. She could do better as a host and as a human being. I hate that I even have to give a 1 star. Also wished I saw that she had a yelp review before I booked. I would've much rather provided business to another host that would be much more deserving.

Traveler Beware! I would not recommend renting this Airbnb…read more I needed to cancel this Airbnb reservation due to a medical emergency involving my daughter and her newborn (only 2 weeks old at the time ) I contacted the hosts well in advance and sent multiple polite requests explaining the situation. They initially said they would consider my appeal but over 48 hours later I had to message them again. At this time they said I was required to cancel first before they would review any refund options. Quote: "We will work with you as much as we can... If you cancel tonight, there is still a chance that the nights will rebook. We are expecting great weather this coming week and that always helps when people are looking to book their trips. Thank you. " After canceling, I noticed the property showed some of my original dates as unavailable, so I followed up with six more respectful, well-worded messages requesting some compensation-- all completely ignored. To this day almost one month later, I have never received a response. This level of unresponsiveness is extremely unprofessional. Ultimately, they retained the full payment, even though the property may have rebooked for the same dates. This experience did not meet my expectations for communication, consideration or professionalism , so I would not recommend this Airbnb based on my experience. I understand it may have fallen outside standard policy, but this was a clear opportunity to show empathy and simple kindness and decency given the genuine medical and financial situation. Sadly, they chose profit over compassion. For that reason, I cannot recommend this Airbnb to others.
