Great location! Far enough away from the chaos . My sister and I enjoyed our stay . The selection of cooking utensils were spot on. The game and art supplies came in handy when the heat index kept us from hiking. Wonderful stay !

Beautiful property! It was well maintained and very clean. Wonderful antiques and tastefully decorated. It was very warm outside and the only negative was no air conditioning on the main level making it impossible to stay there during the day.

My wife and I stayed here for an anniversary trip that included Acadia. This is a nice little cottage with a great deck and lake view. We were a little further that some to Bar Harbor, but not a problem. We were going most of the days on our trip, but it would have also been nice to just chill out on the deck and look at the lake. This place has some personality. Very nice. Well stocked. Be aware the 2 bedrooms are upstairs and the 1 bath is downstairs - ground floor. Stairs are not super-wide. Dining table for two. Everything was well kept. The dirt road was a little intimidating as I'm from flat Florida, but that was no problem. TV has Roku streaming, which I have at home, so that worked well. NewsOn and Haystack will get local & national news.The owner was great with communication and helpfulness. I would certainly stay again. Beautiful area. Loved the huge rocks in the well-manicured yard. I loved the old railroad tracks, too! Maybe next time, can try the rail bikes.

Weekend trip

I booked this property for my birthday weekend. We needed a nice, quiet place to relax after hiking in Acadia. I highly recommend this property. The property is beautiful and the neighborhood is quiet. The host provided a list of restaurants and stores in the area which was very helpful. We got pizza from Zeppa’s our first night there and it was great!

Wonderful Cottage. Loved our time here

We enjoyed our time in Michelle’s home. She was a wonderful host and even offered to pick up groceries and put away prior to our arrival! Home is adorable and the property is well maintained. We spent most of our time in Acadia ( about an hour drive with traffic) but kids still found time to enjoy the kayaks and swimming off the dock on the property. Would highly recommend staying here!

Perfection

My boyfriend and I were looking for a nice spot for our stay while hiking Acadia and visiting other parts of Maine. We wanted somewhere both somewhat secluded and nearby other towns for day trips, and this house fit the bill perfectly! Views were outstanding, house had everything we needed for our stay, and Michelle was communicative and so helpful with our questions. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

We. Loved. Our. Stay!

Michelle and this cabin are a gem! We could be happy here for months! 😃 It was everything I hoped for, & more. 1st, Michelle was incredibly helpful and a great communicator. She texted before our arrival with details and offered to answer any questions. Upon arrival there were (typed) very helpful notes on the fridge. 2nd, the cabin was not only in a beautiful location, and easy to get to, but it was fully stocked with plenty of the needed kitchen items, bath towels and shampoo, and a very useful washer and dryer, a deck with plenty of chairs for the amazing views. What made this rental extra special was how beautifully accessorized it is - think comfortable furniture, a writing desk with pens and paper, a mud room for our ice chests/coats/boots, and the décor was simple, restful, lovely (art work), and the couch with a large cuddle blanket (essential for those of us that are always cold). Our 1st morning, I watched the sunrise over the lake from the deck! It's so beautiful, peaceful, quiet. Just a few birds chirping, & a lone rooster in the background. I curled up on a deeply cushioned Adirondack chair on the back deck, with a soft blanket. Then, I watched a bald eagle drift by! This is perfect. During the day, we explored Acadia – hiking multiple trails, wandering thru the winding roads (note: cell is limited on the island), and discovered Bar Harbor. Then, we headed back to “our” wonderful cabin. We. Loved. Our. Stay!

Cute and Clean

A quaint and clean stay. Mattress were all comfortable but we didn’t sleep in the daybed. There were two cold air conditioners in the upstairs bedrooms. The bathroom was clean and updated but on the main floor. It was not a problem for us but it could be helpful to know-f it was in the listing, I missed it. We made a stop on our way at the grocery and found everything we needed to prepare our meals, in the kitchen. Grill was in good shape. Washer and dryer with soap and dryer sheets provided! Really nicely stocked. It seemed as if our host thought of everything including a tray of ice and chilled glasses in the freezer. We used this as our base while exploring Acadia. Travel time to and from was around an hour(we traveled early and late missing most of the park traffic), maybe a little less. Several loons on the lake, nice touch MichelleWe would definitely stay again but next time plan on having more time at this adorable cottage.

We loved our stay at Michelle's place. Quiet and secluded, but easy to get to Bangor and Bar Harbor/Acadia. Some of our favorite parts of our trip were watching the sunrise on the lake with a cup of coffee and the hummindbirds that visited the feeder on the porch. House had everything we needed Ave was very cozy and inviting.

The cottage was perfect for our small family of three. We enjoyed walks along the lake road, kayaking, the beach next-door, and a few campfires.. My husband enjoyed reading on the front deck and I think we even used the gas grill a few times. On days that the weather wasn’t cooperating we enjoyed hanging out indoors watching a few movies and simply relaxing. Our cellular coverage in Maine is never great so we appreciated (especially my teen) the great WiFi in the cottage. All in all a wonderful vacation experience that met our expectations!!
