The cottage itself is absolutely perfect. It is private, quiet, stocked with everything we need, and has the traditional coastal charm. The yard is awesome with the fire pit, space to play and for our dog to run, and well maintained. We enjoyed paddleboarding on the marsh, views of the moon, stars, and northern lights, and all of the wildlife as the tides changed. It was our second time staying, and I hope that we can continue the tradition. The house is cozy and feels like home, and is pretty much equidistant from all of the different areas of the island and sites in the National park. It is always a peace of Heaven when we stay. ##### Sarah L.

What a wonderful experience! Very clean and a lot of nice little touches. On our first day we were enjoying the deck, it was sooo peaceful. Lots of birds and across the cove was a deer. Almost like they placed her there so we felt welcomed. It very picturesque. It was fun watching the tide and picking up clam shells, the ones that we didn’t have fun watching the seagulls break. We just really enjoyed it. ##### Naomi J.

We brought kayaks and went thru narrows to ocean. Cottage was very clean, kitchen well stocked for real cooking. Living room had window a/c, and all rooms had floor fans. Deck overlooked water, with picnic table, 4 leisure chairs, and BBQ nearby. Linens were very good quality. Furniture very comfortable and clean. Easy access to Acadia 30 minutes. Would definitely recommend. ##### Marilyn S.

It felt tucked away from the busy tourist spots but was close enough to Bar Harbor and Seal Harbor for adventures. Our toddler loved watching the birds right in the backyard. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need from wine glasses to s'mores sticks. The only downside was the cleanliness of the bathroom. We didn't like that a high use vacation house has carpet in the bathroom. There were also facial hair shavings on the countertop. ##### Liz W.

Property sits on a pond away from the crowds where you can enjoy your morning coffee and evening. At low tide you can sit and watch the seagulls come in for their meal of clams. Which they know just how high to fly to drop them so they open. Property is 20 minutes from Bar Harbor and even less to Southwest Harbor. Echo and Long lake are less than 15 minutes away. We had our senior dachshund with us and the grounds were perfect for her to meander around (supervised). House has everything, beds are comfortable and with the cool nights AC was not needed in the bedrooms. AC unit is in the livingroom. Owners are very responsive, as we needed a full propane tank and he was there in a jiffy. Highly recommend this property and would book it again. ##### DEANNA K.

Whether you're looking to take on some of the area's most famous hikes or visit iconic spots like Thunder Hole and Jordan Pond, Nonie's Nest puts you right in the middle of it all. For dining, you’re spoiled for choice. Just five minutes away, we enjoyed Traveling Lobster—5 lobsters, 5 corn, 2 lbs mussels, 1 lb clams, all for $115\. If you’re in the mood for bbq, Mainly Meat’s is less than 10 min away. It’s a dog-friendly venue, where we savored the Max Platter for $79, more than enough to feed our family. The cottage is a gem. It’s clear that the owner has thoughtfully equipped the home with everything you might need. We brought our dog, who had a blast in the yard. My son, a l bird photographer, was thrilled by the variety of species attracted to the nearby body of water, which offers a fascinating experience with its 9-foot tide changes. Evenings were spent roasting marshmallows, easily started with kindling found in the woods. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean, and the kitchen was perfect for breakfast—saving us the expense of dining out. lunches, we packed pb&j for hikes and saved our splurges for dinner at favorites like Abel’s, Thurston’s, and Beal’s. If u want to save 1/2 try going over the bridge/off island for dinner highly recommend Nonnie’s Nest! ##### Rebecca M. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 ---
