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.
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!
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.
Lovely property in a beautiful bit of the island. The house was so well thought through - everything you need. Such a beautiful and peaceful part of the island.
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.
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.
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!
Highly recommend! We loved staying at Driftwood Cottage. So many extras included in this VRBO. Communicating with the owners was easy and quick. No complaints. We hope to definitely stay again! Thank you!
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.
Enjoyed staying at this property. It was very close to a bunch of major locations as well as a great restaurant called Archie’s lobster. We were able to get to a lot of the Arcadia attractions with 20 minutes, which is exactly what we were looking for. We were far enough away that we were in the middle of the woods. The kitchen was well stocked, and they had so much firewood to enjoy in the evenings. Thanks for the amazing stay.
Joseph and Christina's house is a quiet, clean, well-appointed house in a great location. It's on the quieter side of Mt. Desert Island (which was great for our family). Bass Harbor Head Light is right down the road (walking distance), and the lovely little town of Southwest Harbor is a short drive up the road. Bar Harbor and the big sights in Acadia NP are a just a short drive away. We loved our stay at Driftwood.
We had the best time exploring Acadia and being able to stay at this amazing home! It literally had everything you could possibly need. It was so clean, comfortable and peaceful. Being greeted every morning by the cute little deer was an extra bonus. It was great being walking distance to the Bass Harbor Lighthouse and a 4 minute drive to the Wonderland Trail. And close enough to end most evenings in Southwest Harbor. Looking forward to returning in the future!
We were very pleased with our stay. My husband and I and two Shelties had more than enough room to spread out in this lovely home. Everything was pristine and top notch. Conveniently located for hiking in Seawall area and very close to Bass Harbor Light. We loved the food nearby at Charlotte’s Lobster pound near Seawall. We hope to come back with more family members next time. We can imagine this house would perfect for a visit with.grandchildren.
