My family and I had a very nice experience in this cozy cottage. It is in a great location convenient to several trail heads. It has everything you need and the Otter creek store is a short walk away for the items you forgot.

Really lovely property in a great location! We enjoyed taking the half mile path down to Otter Cove several mornings, and this was a great home base for exploring Acadia (interspersed with toddler naps). Everything was exactly as described in the listing and Amanda was very communicative.

This house was beautiful! It was spotless when we arrived, well-equipped with everything that we needed. It was the perfect vacation getaway. We will definitely return on our next visit to Acadia ... which I hope will be soon. Thanks to Amanda, our stay on Mt Desert was perfect!

Otter Cliff Cottage provided us with everything we wanted from the spacious open plan kitchen/dining area/living room to the very comfortable master bedroom. The location couldn't be better- within walking distance to the Southridge trail up Cadillac in one direction, and in the other, to Otter Cove and easy access to the Ocean Path on the Loop Road. What more could anyone want?

Beautiful stay

We were nicely surprised with the cleanliness of the house. The location of the house was within walking distance to trails. The fire pit was a nice addition. Very close to Bar Harbor. Us four adults had a great stay.

Comfortable Cottage

The 2 BR, 1 bath cottage was slightly larger than expected. Furnishings were attractive, cottage was clean, bedding was comfortable. Check-in was easy, parking convenient, and neighborhood was quiet. Kitchen provided extras, eg spices, trash bags, soap, laundry, coffee, which were welcomed. Bedrooms and living area were furnished to be comfortable. We enjoyed our stay, appreciated the use of park guidebooks and would return.

Great trip to Acadia!

This rental exceeded our expectations. Amanda was a fantastic host and very helpful and friendly throughout our stay. The proximity to the park and comforts of home like the ac grill and fire pit made our stay that much better. We will be staying again the next time we come to visit the park!

Great stay in Acadia

We loved our stay in this home. The location was great. As others have mentioned, it was super accessible to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, but tucked away on a quiet street. We love using the fire pit in the evening. The layout of the house was great for two adults and two young children - and very accurately represented in the listing. We would absolutely stay here again!

Charming home, great location

A great location for exploring Acadia. The house is cozy and comfortable -- we were just two adults, so it was spacious, but not overly large; it would be ideal for a family with children. The kitchen is well equipped.

Comfortable, Convenient, Clean

Immaculately clean, comfortable beds and conveniently located for those who don't want to be in the busy hub of Bar Harbor at night but want the close proximity to everything. Our family enjoyed the trails during the day, Bar Habor and for dinner (Blaze was great when you've reached your seafood limit), and the quiet atmosphere of the VRBO at night while roasting s'mores over the fire. Would definitely recommend.

Delightful 3rd stay at Otter Cliff Cottage!

This was our third year staying at Otter Cliff Cottage, and we couldn't be happier with the accommodations. It is clean, comfortable, and convenient, and Amanda is a wonderful host. She continues to make some minor upgrades to the already well-appointed cottage, and she is always quick to respond to questions or problems. We'll plan to return next summer as well!
