We loved this sweet little cottage in the heart of Bar Harbor - so easy to walk to restaurants, shops, and shuttles into the park. Our hosts thoughtfully provided all the "extras" that helped us (and our pet) feel right at home. We look forward to our next visit to Bar Harbor and another stay at Rocko's Cottage!

Great spot for a family of 4 with a dog. We were walking distance to downtown Bar Harbor and a short drive (or jog!) to Acadia National Park. The neighborhood is very quiet despite the proximity to town. The cottage is very cute, adequately furnished/supplied and well-maintained. Lisa is an excellent host and we hope to stay here again in the future on our next Acadia adventure!

Very clean cottage with an extremely well equipped kitchen. Location wise, it’s super handy for walking along the shore path and into Bar Harbor, yet it’s on a quiet street away from the hustle and bustle. We’re always very grateful when hosts welcome our dog, and they provided a list of dog friendly restaurants, most of which we ate at. If we return to Bar Harbor we would stay here again.

Hi Tom, Rocko’s Cottage is not an apartment but a house. I checked in with you after you arrived and you said how great the house was and how much you enjoyed it. I am not sure where the musty odor comment came from. Lisa

Enjoyed our stay in this well stocked, cozy cottage. The size was adequate for our family of four adults and loved we could bring our pup. King size bed was very comfortable and cottage was very clean. The cottage sits six feet behind the owners home but still plenty of room to park. Host was very responsive. Nice short walk to downtown Bar Harbor and close to Acadia. Would definitely recommend.
