Whale's Tail is comfortable and quiet. The bed is so comfortable that I just want to stay there. My back didn't bother me at all on this trip and I credit the bed. The views are fantastic from every window. Out front is the bay, but out every other window is green, making the cottage feel private. ![View from the porch](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0b78df2a-bdae-4cf2-824c-b8a64e453892-1754088204211.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from the bed in the loft](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/83a54fa2-237b-4c35-80a9-d34b682491a6-1754088199223.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Sunrise](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a11bf00b-f73a-4e17-b3c2-c07cebcbb46e-1754088201906.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Deer almost every day.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d127cc38-2b4b-486b-aaa6-540bddc78943-1754088204914.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Susan S.

Had everything we needed to be a perfect home base as we explored Acadia and the surrounding areas. Communication with the host was prompt and helpful and the accommodations were just right for our needs. The outdoor cooking and dining area made it easy to enjoy the view of the marina and harbor. We will definitely be back! ##### Sarah K.

From the get go we had a great experience. Our booking had a security issue which was handled immediately by Christy. She was prompt, thorough and thoughtful. Our arrival and entry was painless. Her and her families attention to detail is unmatched. The home was spotless, up to date/new, charming and the perfect place to come back to after a long day adventuring. The loft was our daughters favorite! The lack of cooking space suited us just fine- we often ate local baked goods for breakfast, a loaf of toasted local sourdough or a bowl of cereal. Lunch and dinner we enjoyed out. The proximity to Acadia is unmatched. Just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor. It has a spectacular harbor view ; we encountered daily fog which was a bummer for those early morning/ late evening porch hangs. It’s a short walk to a little downtown area with just enough shops, we enjoyed the flamingo festivities and purchased local artisan momentous skipping the run of the mill shops in BH, found a cute sourdough bakery- Seafolk Sourdough which was a fun find and delicious. Hiked our way though many trails of Acadia finding wild blueberries along the way. Dined and enjoyed Bar Harbor and even went to the Mine Lumberjack Show- what a fun and entertaining rain filled evening- especially for our 6year old. Seriously- this home was hands down one of our favorite VRBO rentals- we look forward to a return trip as we just didn’t have enough days to explore all that Acadia has to offer! ##### melissa w.

For context, there was 4 women in their late 20’s staying at this property for 6 days. The location is great if you want a more quieter atmosphere to chill after fun at Bar Harbor or a day of hiking in Acadia! The cottage is exactly as described with the only caveat being that I wouldn’t say this had a “kitchenette”. There is only a small fridge and microwave in the corner of the open dining/living room and we were provided a skillet. There is a grill outside along with a boiling pot. We were able to be thoughtful with meals and were able to make it all work but if having a stove is important to you then this is something to consider when booking. The rooms were spacious and the shared fire pit by the lake was beautiful. The area also has low light pollution so we were able to star gaze and see so many stars at night! So overall, this was a great cottage for a small party! You get exactly what is described, the owners responded quickly to questions, and the space was clean and felt very safe. I ##### Jessica H.

The rental was in a great location on Mount Desert Island and easy access to Acadia National Park and just a short drive to downtown Bar Harbor. It was very clean and provided everything we needed for our stay. It overlooks a beautiful marina and harbor, however there was a construction project going on within feet of the cottage. Some days were quieter than others. Communication with the owners was great and we look forward to visiting again soon. ##### Shannon A.

This was a great spot for our family on our week stay exploring Acadia. It’s on the “quiet side” of the island but still walkable to a very cute strip of shops and restaurants. It’s an easy drive to Bar Harbor on the days we headed that direction. There are a lot of good hikes that start in just a 5-10 min drive from the house. We used the grill to cook multiple nights and had everything we needed. The fire pit was great for s’mores with the kids and has a great view of the harbor. Everything was comfortable inside. We would definitely stay again. ##### Sarah S.
