We loved the spaciousness and convenience of the cottage. Easy check in check out. It is a little off the beaten path but perfect for our stay. I would have enjoyed an extra wash cloth or two but there is a washer and dryer. ##### Dean B.

Nice enclosed porch. Do be aware the upstairs shower is a tight fit. ##### Jim S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### david b. 8 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, especially if you love lobster! Property met our needs. The upstairs could get pretty warm when the weather is hot. Otherwise you have all that you need and it was very comfortable. Walking distance to the best lobster eatery around (The Traveling Lobster). Convenient all locations, from Bar Harbor to Acadia. ##### david b. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vicki W. 26 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gem in the woods This is probably my favorite vacation rental I’ve ever stayed in. This little cottage was perfect for my little family and my Husbands parents. It was well stocked and clean. The location is private but also within walking distance of a great restaurant. There were games and camping chairs to sit outside, and a grill on the deck. I would definitely recommend it to any family up to 6 people. There were lots of towels and a washer and dryer which was amazing for this point in our trip. I’ll definitely be booking with them again next year. ##### Vicki W. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel J. 7 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The perfect Mt Desert Island getaway The place was WAY bigger than we expected, super comfortable, lots of spaces for hanging, and beautiful outdoor space as well. We were told the kitchen had everything we needed - and they weren't kidding! We were able to cook every night and even make a birthday cake and some muffins without having to get extra tins. And it's so close to the park, it made hiking trips so easy. Super great! ##### Rachel J. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Holly M. 4 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyed our stay Spacious home, good communication. Window unit AC in kitchen and one in living room. Owners are right next door so very quick to help if we needed anything. ##### Holly M. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul S. 22 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Location Excellent location and access to the island as well as shopping inland. Nicely renovated, well maintained and furnished house. The house is within walking distance of The Travelin Lobster, an excellent place to get seafood and reasonably priced live lobsters. Just an FYI, the house is on a dirt road, but for a short distance, window AC units were adequate, top floor had low ceilings on the edges due to the pitch of the roof, not for tall people. ##### Paul S. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie M. 1 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very enjoyable stay The property is exactly as advertised. Off the main roads, quiet, private, well kept, VERY clean. We cooked all meals there and found the kitchen supplies more than adequate. Plenty of room to spread out (meals, reading, games, puzzles, etc.). Owners were adjacent to the rental property. We talked to Rita, pleasant lady. Highly recommend! ##### Julie M. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sabrina C. 31 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great spot on the Island Wonderful property. The pictures don’t do it justice! Perfect base camp for adventuring in Acadia NP. We had 3 generations with us and we all thought the house was great. Plenty of towels and essentials. The kitchen was very well stocked and allowed us to prepare for each day’s hikes then come back and cook in for dinner. A great value compared to the pricey hotels on the island and so much more private and peaceful. We give this our highest rating! ##### Sabrina C.
