Very private location with good views of Goose Cove and an exceptionally quiet setting. Host was quick to reply to VRBO messages and the house rules were logical and included good local recommendations. The access to the water is a bit steep near the shore, but worth the effort to get the full view of the cove. Lounging in the yard was pleasant indeed.The cottage was well stocked with the basic necessities. We enjoyed warming up with the wood stove on a rainy day. The location is on the far side of the island from the main part of the Nat'l Park, but it's still a modest drive and is easily justified by the peaceful respite of the cottage. This will work for somewhat larger groups (we were a party of four), but would be perfect for a couple. We will likely be returning in the future.

First off, the view is wonderful! I could feel my heart rate slowing just looking at the beautiful cove and over to Swan’s Island. Incredibly private and so quiet. We’ve stayed at a number of VRBOs, but rarely one so thoughtfully appointed. Dog bowls, umbrellas, flowers on the kitchen window sill, plenty of towels, just wonderful. It is a camp, which is exactly what we wanted. The double bed was a bit snug because we are used to a king, but we still slept like babies. Weslyea was wonderful in switching our week because of a sudden work commitment I had to attend. If you are looking for a peaceful place to spend time on the Maine Coast, but be close to restaurants, Acadia and Bar Harbor, I cannot recommend the cottage enough. We will be returning.

We had a perfect week at Spruce Shore Cottage. We loved it so much that it was hard to leave for our planned trips to Bar Harbor or Sand Beach, etc. But, our one rainy day allowed us to curl up with books on the back porch or in the window chair in the main bedroom. The cottage had everything we needed for making meals at home, as well as comfy beds, a beautiful history, breezy days and nights, calming views of the tides coming in and out. Weslea has created a magical and welcoming place n this beautiful corner of Acadia. We’ve stayed on the Quiet Side many times, but had new adventures thanks to her introductory advice: we headed over to Archies for our lobster night, explored the nearby auto museum, and had a wonderful evening sunset kayaking on Long Pond. All fabulous. Thank you, Weslea!

Weslea was a fantastic host. The cottage is wonderful and clean, with lots of cozy touches throughout. We loved starting the morning sipping coffee and looking out at the beautiful view of the cove and watching all the birds! It was also a great home base for exploring the park. Our dog Guinness loved it too! The stars at night were also amazing!

The cottage is lovely and secluded--located on the quietside of MDI--it is nonetheless close to all trailheads in the park--approximately 30mn from Bar Harbor. The views on the cove are splendid and we spent many hours watching the birds and the stars on comfy camp chairs. The cabin is neat as a pin, well equipped, and the beds are really comfortable! It was a lovely retreat for two and would work well for a young family of three or four. Weslea was very welcoming and helpful! Thank you for the lovely stay!

What a joy to stay in Spruce Shores cottage while we explored Acadia National Park. The cottage is secluded, peaceful and full of many small delights. The view was amazing, as were the stars at night. We had two chilly, rainy days and we were happy to stay in and enjoy a fire in the wood stove. The kitchen is small but well-equipped. We made most of our meals there. Wesley was helpful and great with communication. We highly recommend staying here.

Perfect Stay!!

The views are stunning!! The cottage was quiet and private except for the deer that visited us, we loved seeing them daily. Cottage was exactly as described, absolutely no issues during our 8 day stay. We enjoyed walking down to the cove. It was a perfect place for our dogs. Great location, on the quiet side of island but easy to get to Acadia every day. If we ever make our way to Maine again, I would stay at the cottage again.

Lovely View

Property has magnificent view of the bay and is a great location for someone with dogs. Cottage is clean, overlooks the bay from a screened in porch, and provides all the basics needed. Bed is comfortable and access to Acadia and Mount Desert is excellent. Check in was easy and the hosts were very accessible and helpful.

Private Slice of Maine

It's a quaint, no-frills rustic cabin. Modernish, mid-century americana vibe. Furnished with period artifacts, from cookware to paperback local lore. Everything needed to lodge a pack of travelers weary from trekking outdoors. Perfect location if you prefer doing things in Southwest Harbor over Bar. The real gem is the rocky waterfront with picturesque vista of the Gulf of Maine.

Lovely cottage

The cottage has everything we needed and nothing we didn’t. There is a beautiful view of the cove and access to it at high tide is just down a short path and slope from the backyard. Hiking, biking, and all Acadia National Park has to offer is just a short drive away. We had a great stay and the weather was perfect during the last week of September.
