Summary: Great location; rooms are spacious and comfortable; no on-site reception but hosts are responsive by phone/text; get check-in info in advance; pull-out couch needs replacing. Details: Excellent location in Northeast Harbor, which is close to everything you want to do and see on Mt. Desert Island while also being way less crowded and way more laid back than Bar Harbor. The suites are located above the Colonel's Restaurant & Bakery, which has yummy baked goods and a low-key bar. We didn't eat at the restaurant. Despite being over a busy restaurant, our room was quiet and peaceful. Nice spacious living room with couch, chair, and TV. Kitchen has a microwave, Keurig coffee machine (bring your pods or buy them on the way in; the small grocery store in town doesn't carry them), mini-fridge, plates & cups etc., and a small kitchen table -- seats two, not four. The bathroom in our suite had tile floors, an attractive new sink fixture, new lighting, and a new shower head with plenty of water pressure. Nice soap & shampoo, with extras available in the hallway. The bedroom in our suite was really nice. King bed with a quality mattress, new paint, TV, air conditioning. Tip: Get check-in info before you arrive or, at minimum, the wifi password in case your phones don't have cell service. Our phones didn't work in town (they worked elsewhere on the island), so we didn't get the text the owners sent us at check-in time. We had to ask the nice people at the Colonel's Restaurant downstairs to use their house phone to call the owners. The owners actually answered the phone and supplied us the check-in info right away. The ONLY downside was the pull-out couch. It was so uncomfortable that nobody could sleep on it. It was uneven (sloped towards the wall) and you could feel the mattress springs. We contacted the owners and they immediately arranged for us to use the rollaway bed from another unit, so everything was fine in the end. The owners seem very interested in ensuring that guests have a good experience, so I'm sure they will start looking into replacing the pull-out bed.
