We loved our stay at the cottage! The home is very clean and well-stocked. The kids loved the yard and firepit, and we loved doing the three local trails. After being tired and dirty from hiking, it was great to wash up, do laundry, and enjoy the strong wifi and big tv. We appreciated the guest book and its recommendations as well.
This was a fabulous property. It was very comfortable, clean and with everything you could possibly need. The setting was beautiful and peaceful and well located for Acadia, beaches and hikes. It was nice also to just relax there. I can’t recommend this property enough. Thank you to the hosts who thought of everything!
My friends and I recently stayed here for a friends trip. The house was even better in person, very clean, extremely well stocked, and in a great location. Walking distance to the Bass Harbor lighthouse. Highly reccomend staying here for your next vacation!!!! One of the best rentals I have ever stayed at.
This was probably one of the best stocked vocational rentals we have ever stayed in. Everything you need is provided. The place was so clean and was the perfect size for a family of 4 with two teenage boys. The location was amazing. It is just a half mile walk from the house to the bass harbor lighthouse and 25 minutes from the Acadia visitors center and the start of the park loop road.

We had a wonderful stay. The house was very clean and had so many thoughtful extra amenities. Great hosts and beautiful location! We loved our stay on the 'quiet side' of the island.
We were thrilled with our stay here! Everything was perfect! There were even deer in the front yard in the morning. Fantastic place to spend your time.
Our family had a great time at this well appointed home. Anything we needed was there and everything was labeled with great instructions and local advice. We would definitely stay there again if in the area.
Visting Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor was amazing. Lobster rolls like no other in South Harbor.
The home we stayed in was lovely and met all our needs. Beautiful property in a great location. Loved seeing the deer out front when we arrived.
This house is perfectly located near some beautiful hikes in Acadia! The hosts were SUPER responsive and we felt right at home. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook some delicious meals. I’ll definitely be staying here again!
We had a blast! Never stayed in the quiet side and everything was so delightful. Hikes nearby for the whole family to enjoy and the home was better than advertised!
This house was a perfect place to stay for our trip to Acadia. It was stocked with just about everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable and wonderful to come home to after a day activities.
The cottage was exactly as advertised. The place was very clean, in a great location and so pet friendly. My wife, myself and our pop really enjoyed our stay!
We enjoyed our stay here while in town for a family reunion! It’s a lovely, quiet spot and the house (clearly recently updated/renovated) is clean, organized, and well-stocked. We also appreciated how dog-friendly it was and loved being such a short walk from the Bass Harbor Light.
We book this house twice a year. It's a private area, but located close enough to Bar Harbor & Acadia National Park. Our October stay is already booked!
