Cute Little Place
The Hidden Retreat was the perfect place to stay! It was just me and my husband, and Wendy has made it very comfortable. The area is quiet and relaxing, perfect for after spending a day at Bar Harbor or Acadia National Park. She was a great host and had all the amenities you would need. I would highly recommend a stay at Hidden Retreat!

An amazing little gateway apartment! My partner and I had an amazing time while there. Wendy is great and super sweet… also an amazing artist! It was clean, quiet, and easy to navigate. Close enough to Ellsworth and bar harbor but far enough away you don’t have too much traffic to worry about.

Very Nice
My stay here was wonderful. The room was the perfect for me, but could have easily accommodated a second person. The area is quiet, clean, and safe. The drive to the southern part of Acadia National Park took about thirty-five to forty minutes...not bad at all in my mind. I will definitely stay here again when I am back that way.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We did not stay in this hellhole.
The property owner was clear about finding this place. It was almost impossible to find, even in the daytime. And then once we found it, I was angered beyond belief. It was tiny, it was dirty, and I am still angry after a week. The appliances looked like they'd never been cleaned. I didn't inspect the "bathroom". I knew I would never relieve my bowels in it. The shower stall, well, NO and NO and NO. We had to hurriedly find another place to stay in a sold-out town. You should know that VRBO, if it has ever inspected this place, is horribly at fault.

Wonderful little property. If you’re wanting something out of the way but still close by to Acadia, this is the place! Avoids the crowds, but definitely be prepared for the drive in (about 45 minutes with traffic). Wendy was a great host, we really enjoyed everything.

Everything I needed in a small package
Everything went very smoothly. It started with checking in. Wendy Jo went out of her way to let me check in before the usual check in time so I could spend most of the day in Acadia. The room had everything I needed. The bed was comfortable and the pillows (nice and firm) were the best I have had at any rental (including hotels) that I can recall. The rental was convenient to Ellsworth and Acadia and an easy day trip to Campobello with a very pleasant drive. It all resulted in a very pleasant weekend.

Wendy was a super host! She was quick to answer any questions I sent her way. If I could rate her Hidden Retreat higher than 100% I would. I stayed there for a 11 nights, and that was some of the best sleep I've had in a long time. I really liked how clean the room was upon checking in. Take my word, you will enjoy this little retreat.

Wendy's Hidden Retreat
Wendy was such a wonderful hostess! She was quick to respond and made sure we knew where we were going as well as greeted us on arrival to make sure we knew which quaint spot we were staying in. The room was perfect for what we needed, Wendy provided everything, and it was close distance to Arcadia National Park. I regret we could only stay one night, but I hope to book again in the near future!
