Affordable, pet-friendly cottage

Our stay at ‘Slice of Haven’ was great! Well-stocked with all necessities and then some. Comfortable beds were appreciated. I have stayed in many MDI properties and have never seen a rental kitchen that was so well supplied. Spices and a few pantry staples were on hand, as well as appliances like blender, electric kettle, coffee grinder and french press. All of which I use daily at home, so it was great to have those. You will find plenty of decent quality cookware including a nice big lobster pot, which is a must! We made use of the gas grill also. There were a few games and toys thoughtfully included for the kids. Lots of thoughtful items for dogs, too. We were very comfortable in the house and the backyard looks onto a lovely native meadow and apple trees.

Acadia fun

Property was clean and the perfect size for our family of five, plus black lab. The fenced in yard was helpful for our dog. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and we enjoyed using the grill. We recommend checking out the car museum walking distance from the house.

Pleasant Little Cottage

Our family of 4 had a nice stay here. We had everything we needed and never had to contact the hosts with any big issues. The house is well-appointed with plenty of spices and cooking utensils in the kitchen and many thoughtful touches in the bathroom such as toiletries, first-aid kit, and hair dryer. The upstairs bedrooms were comfortable and kept cool by two window air conditioners. There are no window ACs downstairs so it can get pretty hot. There was a nice deck and grill for hanging out and eating outdoors. A couple of things to be aware of: 1) there is an overwhelming smell of wet dog when the house is hot and windows are shut. We have stayed at pet-friendly houses in the past but this was the first time we've experienced this. 2) the door leading into the kitchen sticks (a LOT) in hot, humid weather. My husband was the only one who was strong enough to pull it open.

Quiet side of Mt Desert

The property was located in a quiet and relaxing area, but still within a short drive of all the sites of Acadia. A small fenced yard was perfect for our dogs as well, we definitely had a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Krista Thorsell & Joe Baranello

Joe and I travel for work most months of the year but our home (lovingly called Slice of Haven) is our home base. We love Acadia no matter the time of year and want to share the area with other outdoor enthusiasts. Joe grew up on Mount Desert Island and I transplanted to the island 13 years ago.

Why they chose this property

Our home acre was split off of the original property named Sweet Haven and we thought Slice of Haven was a perfect name and nod to our wonderful neighbors. Our neighbors who still own Sweet Haven have a volunteer project growing over 1,200 tons of food in tidy raised beds for food insecure elderly folks in our island communities. Krista volunteered at this project and the rest is history. It is a quiet community with lots of green space between homes with spacious yards and fields.
