The layout was a bit odd (some bedrooms required walking through other bedrooms for access) but that’s to be expected with a historic home. Basic necessities in the kitchen (coffee, powdered creamer, seasonings) which was a nice bonus. The location is close to popular trailheads at Acadia and Bar Harbor to make day trips a breeze. House was clean and tidy. Would absolutely stay here again! ##### Kim H.

I would stay here again. My wife enjoyed the detailed attention to authentic New England decor. Very clean. There’s so much to do in Acadia, I wish we could have spent more time at the property enjoying the house and the comfortable outdoor space. Definitely recommend. ##### James C. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lyric d. 7 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful house in excellent location Robbin was a wonderful host. We came with 10 people spanning 3 generations and had a really comfortable stay. The kids loved the fire pit for s'mores. The kitchen was the bright and well-stocked center of our stay. Keeping some toys and books in the house made the kids happy. It's clear Robbin has spent time decorating the house and the location in proximity to Acadia was a key part of our decision in selecting this property as a base for our daily outings. ##### lyric d. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Liz G. 26 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Stay in Acadia We stayed in this home for a few days mid-August to explore Acadia with our kids and dog. The location is beautiful - a quiet neighborhood right by the water. It was perfect for morning walks, and removed enough from the busy parts of the park but still accessible. The house was well stocked with linens, towels and kitchen essentials. It is so cozy and restored to perfection with beautiful taste and attention to detail. Robbin was a delight. She was attentive and incredibly helpful with recommendations in the area. I only wish we could have stayed longer! We can't wait to visit again! ##### Liz G. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### megg w. 12 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Communication #### Reconsider booking this rental Overall this was a great place to stay with my family given its location and amount of people it can accommodate. However, the home layout and interactions with the host did not sit well with my family and I. The bedrooms are all connected to one another. To access the master bedroom, you will need to walk through all the other bedrooms. This was not clear or specifically indicated in the listing. As far as my interactions with the host Robbin, I was barraged with questions the day before our stay regarding my group size, why our group is so large (I was in a party of 10), why we are staying in the area, etc. The host also messaged me in the middle of our stay with questions and arrived before 9am on the day of checkout thinking that my family and I had an early flight and had left the property. Communication was also lackluster and unreasonably delayed. Given these reasons, I am unable to recommend anyone booking this home. ##### megg w. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarentha K. 15 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house in amazing location. Cozy and welcoming! This lovely home is a great location for easy access to all of Acadia National Park hikes and adventures. The home is cozy and welcoming beckoning for you to come sit in a comfy chair to read or sit out on the back lawn and listen to the birds or stare up at the heavens. Our family of 6 including my husband and I and our adult children, including newlyweds, enjoyed relaxing together in the living room and sharing meals together around the old farm table. The kitchen was fully stocked and beautifully decorated including the blue and white dishes! The bedrooms are country comfy. Please note the lay out of the 4 upstairs bedrooms. The rooms are all connected by doors, meaning you have to walk through other bedrooms to get to the master bathroom or the stairs. The master bedroom does have an outdoor spiral staircase that we used. The outdoor space is great for grilling and resting. We enjoyed the firepit one evening and the amazing starlit night and the milky way! Robbin was great to work with and attentive. Favorite lobster roll was found nearby at Charlotte's Legendary Lobster. Best Maine Wild Blueberry Pie was found at pie stand on the side of the road on the way to Bass Harbor Light Head and also snickerdoodles. We got jam from the cookies and pie stand near Archie's. Hikes: Acadia Mountain, Beech Cliff Trail, and Great Head Trail. The Seawall picnic area and beach was my favorite quiet spot to read and look at the sea, recommended by Robbin! ##### Sarentha K. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie H. 16 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful solitude in a charming town We greatly enjoyed our stay in the Rose Cottage in Bernard! Robbin was an excellent host, extremely communicative and willing to assist with any needs/recommendations. We made our reservation before the home was furnished, but Robbin had that completed and filled the home with furniture and beds. I would note that the bedrooms are what I would refer to as "semi-private". Access to the rooms was not through a hallway, rather there were pocket doors separating the various sleeping areas. Since I hadn't seen the layout in pictures, I didn't really anticipate that, however, it didn't really bother us. I would also like to mention that the bathrooms were a bit on the smaller side, but again, with the older/historic home, I did expect that. The kitchen and outdoor space were very welcoming and refreshing. We did not find ourselves using the kitchen as much as we normally do since there were so many great dining options! We visited Thurston's Lobster Pound twice during our short stay. The bar overlooking the bay and the freshest lobster were oh so enjoyable! We also have a favorite spot in Bar Harbor called Side Street Cafe! Check them both out. Also, if you plan to dine at Thurston's, make sure you check their schedule as they were closed Sunday & Monday during our stay. Luckily, we saw their schedule and planned accordingly. Their gift shop just a few houses down, Slack Tide Shop, was a favorite as well! We enjoyed walking down to shop there. Nothing beats a Maine summer! ##### Stephanie H.

Everything was very clean, the owner responded promptly to any questions and the location was perfect to visit Acadia. ##### Jennifer V.

The bedrooms were all connected on the top floor though so we definitely woke each other up for the bathroom and to go downstairs when the kids woke up or to let the dogs out. ##### Lindsay L.

A well stocked farm house with great outdoor space. Robbin is a very responsive host. You do have to walk through bedrooms to enter or exit and use the bathroom on the second floor. Great location on a quiet harbor on the quiet side of Mt. Desert Island. ##### Lisa M.

The location of this house is great. We enjoy the quieter side of things, it was so peaceful here. 30 minutes to anywhere on the island. 30 minutes to Texans is nothing and we got to see most all of the island. Deer in the yard at night. The house had everything we needed. Be mindful the upstairs has three nice bedrooms upstairs that are all connected. This was not an issue for us, it would be great with younger kids too. The host was very patient with my questions before we arrived and responsive. Would stay there again. ![Deer in the evening ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ddd0fd44-78df-4046-83a5-5afc3bdf0149-1759763553001.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c6ac670b-f8bc-48f3-a3a1-552d1b6848b3-1759763557847.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/88665ef0-b59b-49a2-8258-ee100e31ac63-1759763556343.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8582facc-e111-456a-8859-426c0671d681-1759763557334.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Angela M.

The house is very well stocked and provides an excellent night’s sleep. The wharf and an adorable library are just a 5 minute walk away. The house is 30 min from Bar Harbor and 10 minutes past SW Harbor but near delicious lobster, trails (Wonderland & Ship Harbor), and Bass Harbor Light House. The house is so welcoming and a great place to relax after a day of hiking and exploring. ##### Mary Lynn M.
