Roomy, updated house close to Acadia

The house was roomy for our party of 8 (including 3 kids). The washer and dryer were nice to have so that we could leave with clean clothes, and lighten our luggage. The check-in process and entry to the house were super easy, as was communication with the owner. There are 4 bedrooms, but the listing may not detail exactly that you have to go through the bedroom at the top of the steps to get to the twin bedroom, then you get to the queen bedroom, then you get to the other queen bedroom, and single bed at the end. The upstairs bathroom is found in the fourth bedroom upstairs. We were all close family that stayed in the house, so going through one bedroom to get to the other wasn't an issue at all for us at all. The house is also close to Acadia. We were only 30 minutes from the entrance to Cadillac Mountain for those who want to catch the sunrise. I really liked our stay here, and found the house very clean, well stocked, and in a great location.

Good location

This place is great as long as you go in with the right expectations - the listing is not super clear that the 4 bedrooms upstairs need to be walked through to get to the last one (there are stairs leading down to the deck from the last one) - but we knew that going in from previous reviews. The biggest negative was that all of our showers we lukewarm. Otherwise it was nice and big with tons of places to sleep, and convenient to Acadia (and walking distance to Thurston’s).

Beautiful home-away-from-home

This beautiful and extremely comfortable home is in the small and quiet village of Bernard. 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.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

Disappointing Stay and Host

The house itself is very cute, though the upstairs layout is a bit odd. The keyless locks weren't programmed correctly, so we couldn't lock the house up when we left for the day to explore. According to VRBO, the checkin time was 4 pm. Upon our arrival at 4:30, the host and her family were occupying the house. She made us feel very unwelcome, and told us we should have told her what time we were planning to arrive because that's what considerate guests do. It took her an hour to pack up and get out of the house. She said she would refund the cleaning fee for the inconvenience. She has not done so, and it has been one month since our departure. ibedshould she told us that weshoul

Great property

We had a great time staying here! 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!
