Summary: We had a wonderful time at Sweet Fern. The house and the lake were both exceptional. The sunroom and deck were our favorite spots, but both bedrooms were also super comfy and we enjoyed many movies in the living room. It was also amazing to have our dog with us, and Sweet Fern was perfectly set up for canine family members as well. As other guests noted, it is a little bit of a hike to some parts of Mount Desert Island, but nice to have the option to visit Acadia or just chill at the lake. There is also not much separation from the neighbor’s property, which wasn’t an issue but good to know if you are looking for solitude. Laura was an exceptional host. Sweet Fern allowed our to have one of our best family vacations to date.
