Summary: This house was perfect for a week's stay for our family of four. The interior is truly beautiful - from the tasteful and extensive local art on the walls to the great layout to the high-end finishes and obvious pride of ownership, we were very impressed. Many rental properties show signs of wear and tear - not so with Big Fox. The house is immaculate and obviously well kept. The exterior is beautifully landscaped, and the house is far enough from the street not to notice street noise. We often took advantage of the short walk to town (breakfast and lunch at 123 Main) and had fun visiting the harbor. Good jumping-off point for all the island has to offer. Highly recommended.

Summary: The house appears to be new or nearly so. Layout is fine for those who have no problem climbing steps. Nice lounge plus den on either side of a pass-through gas fireplace. Kitchen, laundry room and dining area is off to itself with a modern gas cooktop and large fridge with icemaker. Bedrooms are all up a set of somewhat steep stairs. Floors are beautiful hardwood. Furnishings are all very comfortable. While there is no view from the property, landscaping is attractive and well maintained. No garage but that was no factor for our stay as weather was still fine. Location is fantastic with an easy walk into the town of Northeast Harbor where there are a number of good casual restaurants. It is also an easy walk down to the harbor where a variety of boat cruises are offered. For really fine dining it is a lovely 20 minute drive to Bar Harbor.

Summary: Our family had a wonderful trip to Acadia staying at Big Fox. The location of the house is fantastic. The home is well-maintained and beautifully decorated as advertised. Our family of four and nanny were very comfortable there. We were particularly grateful for Cathy's well thought out recommendations that we put to good use. We would be lucky to return in the future.

Summary: Big Fox is a meticulously maintained, classic Maine cottage on the “quiet” side of Mount Desert Island. It’s proximity to Northeast Harbor Main Street, the Harbor Marina, the Asticou Inn and, of course, Acadia National Park, made it a perfect accommodation for our family. In addition, the Owner shared great insider recommendations that made our stay much more enjoyable. We will return to Big Fox and will likely return with a bigger group and book Little Fox as well.

Summary: I strongly agree with all the positive reviews. We stayed for a week with our two grade school boys. It is a beautiful house in every respect in an out -- architecturally well done, great landscaping, furnishing, art and appliances. It has a great porch and a separate flagstone patio with seating and a propane grill. It has a new and fresh feeling, and feels like a high end hotel. Location is great. You can walk to town or access a few trails directly behind the house. We had no issues whatsoever, and the owner was a pleasure to communicate with via email.

Summary: The home was exactly as described on line. Architecturally perfect, beautiful furnishings, walking distance to Main Street northeast harbor and close to several entry points of Acadia. Loved sitting on the front porch for morning coffee and cocktail hour.

Summary: Beautiful home that has been completely renovated, including all new furnishings. Instead of feeling like we were intruding by staying in someone's home, it felt like we were staying in a high end hotel with three bedrooms that comfortably accommodated our family of five. Kitchen is fully equipped. New washer/dryer. Flat panel TV with all of the channels. Great patio with propane grill. Well maintained landscaping. The home is walking distance to Northeast Harbor's shopping, restaurants and marina. Acadia is minutes away by car and Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor are short drives. Nothing to gripe about. Isn't that what vacation is all about?

Summary: From the moment we arrived in the car crunching over the fresh gravel in front of Big Fox, to the hours spent relaxing over breakfast on the tree-shaded patio, sipping wine on the porch or gathering at the big white table in the kitchen for meals, this was a delightful place that helped create memories of a wonderful vacation. There was ample space for our family, including our three children from 17 to 22. Everything is top class, from the kitchen equipment to the bedding to the tasteful art. Northeast Harbor, apart from its own attraction as a busy yachting and fishing harbor with ferries to the Cranberry Islands, is the perfect location for touring Acadia. It's away from the crowds of Bar Harbor but close to park entrances, and it's a short drive to the "quiet side" of the island. A free bus about five minutes walk from the house gets you to Bar Harbor and round to some great trails. The owners were responsive, efficient and helpful, providing a hit-list of the island's amenities, best walking and biking trails and suggested restaurants and shops. Big Fox is a high end property with high end quality.
