Clean, Comfortable and Quiet

This property and the location on the ‘Quiet Side’ turned out to be a great choice for us. The beds were comfortable. Plenty of linens, dishes and cooking utensils. The property manager was very responsive to our needs. Close to Southwest Harbor for coffee/cafes/restaurants. The 20-30 minute drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia Park was not a problem at all…every route was so beautiful and scenic. We would definitely stay here again.

Impeccably Maintained Property

We very much enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. It was very clean and well-supplied. The view is unbeatable. For whoever stays in the upstairs room, be careful of the slanted low parts of the ceiling - it is easy to hit your head! Our checkout time was 9am - it would have been nice for a later time since we were requested to start a load of laundry, take trash out, etc. But overall, a lovely stay and would stay again!

Great Stay - tucked away in the quiet part of Mount Desert Island.

Loved our stay in this location! Quiet, clean and cute property was great for our family of 4. We did a number of hikes and kayaking close to Echo Lake and Long Pond. Great location for those that don't want the crowds of Bar Harbor, but want the beauty of the Island.

Lovely oasis near Acadia

We had such a lovely stay here. The yard is impeccable and so relaxing to sit by the water or eat outside. The home had everything we needed and was great for our family of six. The upstairs bathroom was a tad small for my tall husband as he had to bend over a little to use the restroom and we had some trouble not splashing water out of the shower onto the floor (but we just had an extra towel to catch the water). I would definitely stay here again and it’s a pleasant drive into Acadia National Park. Also, my teen son said the water pressure was great for showering!

Quiet and relaxing

A quiet, quaint and relaxing place to stay with my family. The owner gave us great suggestions for local restaurants (which were fantastic) and the vibe of the town was low key and chill (especially compared to Bar Harbor). The house was very clean and cute! I already miss morning coffee from the deck!

The home was warm and inviting, clean and peaceful. Our only difficulty was the internet which was intermittent, which meant we had difficlty logging in for work and watching television. We did get quick responses from the manager but did need to call in for a work order.

First time in Maine!

We recently returned to Indiana after a 6 night stay. We are a family of 4 (two boys, 8 & 10) plus a set of grandparents. The cottage is a few years old and it’s been very well maintained. I was impressed by how clean the cottage was when we arrived. We ate breakfast and a few dinners at the cottage, and we found the kitchen to have everything we needed. We made a stop at Walmart in Ellsworth prior to making the trip across the bridge to Mount Desert Island, but we were thankful for the nearby IGA grocery store when a member of our party needed some last minute items. After dinner or breakfast at the cottage, we enjoyed going down to the tidal inlet to see what might have come in or how things changed with the tide. We got very familiar with tide charts. The location is an easy drive (approximately 30 minutes) to Acadia’s Hulls Cove visitors center and the Park Loop Road, but we loved the nearby Ship Harbor trail and Bass Harbor Head Light Station. Thurston’s Lobster Pound is a few miles away, and it was a great spot with fantastic food. These items didn’t ruin our experience, but my parents could not figure out how to not soak the bathroom floor upstairs with the shower set up (rain head with no shower door) and the grill grates could use some TLC. We loved our stay and would highly recommend the cottage to anyone coming to the area.
