Lovely stay close to Acadia National Park

We drove down from Canada to meet up with friends and really enjoyed our stay at the cottage! We had everything we needed for our stay, the beds were comfortable, and we were happy to be so close to Acadia for some excellent hiking. We really appreciated the hike suggestions in the cottage guidebook!

Perfect location and excellent cottage

We enjoyed our stay very much. A nice quiet area close to everything. An unexpected storm with very strong winds caused a few problems with power out and trees down on the road but the cottage kept us unscathed.

My family and I had a great time at the cabin! It had so much to offer. There were plenty of kitten gadgets and a working grill so we could enjoy a home cooked meal. There was a house mouse that hung out with us during our stay, but all of us are campers and weren’t bothered. Communication was great with the owner!

Great Location, Comfortable Accomodation

The property is well located on the island, easy access to towns, restaurants and scenic drives, yet in a nice, quiet forested area. Limited light pollution and clear skies at night allowed for excellent stargazing. Host is very attentive.

Lovely cabin in the woods

We had a lovely stay at this cabin. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen and bath nice. Close to the park and all the things we wanted to do. There was enough in the kitchen that we cooked some meals in. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. The only recommendation I would make was for him to add a shower bar in the shower as we traveled with elderly parents and they would have used that. Other than that we loved the house and loved Acadia!

Quirky turn-of-the-century cottage

We enjoyed the historic elements of this 100+ year-old cabin, as well as the excellent location. Plenty of parking, well-stocked kitchen, updated kitchen, bath and laundry. Patio was serene with visiting deer family. More interior lights would be nice in the dining room and living room. Would definitely book this cottage again!

Great Spot in Mt Desert

We loved this spot - away from the crowds in Bar Harbor but close to everything that Mt Desert and Acadia have to offer. Loved the visits from the deer every evening! The house was well-appointed and comfortable, with everything our family needed for a great holiday. Highly recommend.

Great stay on MDI

We loved this comfortable cottage! It was the perfect size for our family (2 adults, 3 kids). The kids loved their loft rooms upstairs (2 twins and a queen) and seeing the deer in the yard every day. We also loved the location. It's situated in a great central area, we could be almost anywhere on the island in under 30 min (with summer traffic). Loved it, hope we can make it back again someday!

The quiet side of the island

My family thoroughly enjoyed our “home base” at the cabin during our visit to Acadia. The kitchen was well-appointed and the whole cabin was clean and lovely. My only complaints are the mattress in the first floor bedroom felt worn out and a couple more lamps in the dining and living rooms would really help during the evening. Thanks for the memories!

Great spot!

Great little cottage! We used this as our base to explore Acadia and Bar Harbor. Only 15 minutes away and no traffic. We also enjoyed canoeing on Long Pond. My kids (14 and 10) loved having their own space upstairs and seeing the deer in the backyard.

Quiet cottage in Acadia

We had a wonderful time in Acadia coming back to this comfy cottage after our adventures! We ended up coming a day earlier than planned and luckily house was available and the owner was quick to respond and help us check in early. Plenty of room for our family if 4! Perfect cottage in a perfect setting!

Quiet Side Cottage

The location of this cottage is really quite wonderful. It is conveniently and centrally located on MDI with little to no traffic on the road that it sets. This is a quiet retreat and the surrounding trees clearly distinguish this property that also has a yard. We happened to use it for some frisbee on one of the only nights that it did not rain during our stay. The owners and their manager were great and quick to respond to our inquiries ahead of and at the beginning of our stay. The accommodations were comfortable and again this location is wonderful for accessing Southwest and Northeast Harbors in a very respectable amount of time. While my husband and I do not have any children and only used the first floor during our stay, the second floor sleeps four additional people and is quite ideal for children. Closing, I appreciated the location, outside living space, and simplicity that this quiet family cottage had to offer enough. We certainly hope to return for future trips to MDI.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was easy to access different points in Acadia National Park and other spots on Mt. Desert Island. There was plenty of room for four adults, and we enjoyed a fire pit one night when it wasn't raining.

Great stay on the quiet side

This home was very cozy and had lots of character. The home is very nice with lots of natural light coming in which isn’t obvious in the pictures. The yard was great for my 5 year old to run around. The bathroom had a nice shower with good pressure and plenty of hot water. We loved the stove it got really hot quickly making cooking easy. The home owners have basics on had which makes it convenient. We were 12 mins from SouthWest Harbor and only 19 mins from Bar Harbor so this was perfect for exploring the whole island and coming back to a quiet place to rest and recharge.

MDI marathon and hiking/biking trip

The house was a wonderful place to stay! Centrally located for getting to the 1/2 marathon start and nearby to trails for hiking and biking! The fall foliage was amazing! The house was clean and cozy. It was nice that all three of us could sleep upstairs very comfortably. There were two beautiful bucks and some turkeys in the yard, and we heard some coyotes far in the distance while enjoying a fire out back. A terrific place to stay , with good communication from our hosts!
