Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica D. 29 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay We had a great stay here. Jen was extremely communicative and the property was just as listed. We had a comfortable stay here as a family of 3 (2 adults and 1 child). Short walk to SWH center and close drive to most places in the park we wanted to visit. We really enjoyed our stay. ##### Jessica D. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bruce D. 13 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great house and location. Jen was a very helpful and accommodating host. The on-line guide to area attractions, shops and restaurants was absolutely amazing- the best I have ever seen. Highly recommended. ##### Bruce D. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dave B. 2 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Quietside Cottage was in a great location, just a short walk to Southwest Harbor (shops and restaurants). The home was fine (sunporch great), but needs some maintenance to make it great. Communication with the manager was very good and their digital guide best I have seen. ##### Dave B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne T. 25 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A cosy stay in the best location! We had a wonderful stay, check-in and check out was simple. The house was so cozy and a great location to get around the island. Close to some of the easier hikes and not far to drive to Bar Harbor. Thanks for a wonderful stay ##### Joanne T. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan W. 16 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a wonderful stay at Quietside Cottage. We loved the quiet street for our kids to walk and ride bikes on; we loved proximity to town to be able to walk to ice cream, coffee, and restaurants. We loved proximity to hiking in Acadia, and swimming at Echo lake. We loved proximity to the SW bus stop to be able to get to Bar Harbor without a car. In terms of the house itself, the three season room was our favorite place to be - very comfortable for our kids and for us. The bedrooms were small but comfortable, with much-needed AC units throughout. We loved having laundry machines as our little kids generate laundry fast!Our toddler really loved the big bathtub and enjoyed his nightly splashes.Only note to add, for parents of little kids - there is an open area of the staircase so that was a potential hazard that we were able to navigate with careful one-to-one supervision while on the stairs. Would encourage adding that to the listing description, or a photo of it for full disclosure ahead of time. ##### Megan W. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Louise I. 21 Jul 2025 Liked: Communication Disliked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy The shower is awful, hope you aren’t tall!The kitchen is far from fully stocked or usable to cook meals in.The floors are uneven and sloped around the closet and fridge making you feel like you’re falling. The windows in the kitchen don’t open.The staircase is treacherous. Why is there not a railing on both sides of a semi- circular step?There looks like a lot of unfinished work or sloppy work trying to get the place ready for season.I’m not a snob and think we were getting a palace but this was really a disappointment. It felt like a step up from camping, which is not what renting a house is suppose to be. It was also in a location that was not great. The house behind you that completely overlooks you is never shown in photos. The deck and the grill were dirty! ##### Louise I. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ---
