It was such a perfect cottage in the woods. Everything was clean and cozy. It was beautifully decorated and very quiet. We felt so welcome and there was even a gift basket for us when we arrived. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area.

Stay was ok, the cottage was very clean, with lots of fresh towels and several fans, which we appreciated. However, the plug in fragrances and lack of an extra set of sheets were a drawback.

The homeowners were surprised to read your review, as they are accustomed to providing 5-star experiences, and would like to share the following:- We supply fresh linens and towels for every stay, and we also keep an additional set of sheets stored in the couch compartment for guest use.- We place plug-in fragrances in the home as a courtesy, but we understand scent is a matter of personal preference, and they can easily be unplugged if not desired.- We encourage guests to reach out to the Guest Contact should they have any questions or concerns during their stay. We're always happy to help.- As part of our hospitality, we enjoy providing thoughtful touches like a guest gift basket and fresh flowers to create a warm and inviting experience.We appreciate your comments so we can continue to refine the guest experience and ensure future travelers enjoy a 5-star stay.

Acadia Vacation

The property was outstanding! Each room was beautifully decorated with interesting touches throughout. And the owner could not be more gracious. He offered tips for Acadia and shared his favorite restaurants. We loved our stay here and wished we could have stayed longer. We would definitely return! Thank you for making our stay special!

Vacation dream

The Hidden Gem was a great place to come back to after long days at the Acadia Park and Bar Harbor. Very clean and well supplied to be a second home away from home. Definitely would stay again. Guest was very helpful and made sure everything was ready for us.

We had a quiet and peaceful week in this secluded and beautifully appointed cottage.The rooms were spotlessly clean. Everything is provided for a comfortable stay. We brought some food and cooked freshly caught steamers from Johnson’s Shellfish in Blue Hill. The General Store and The Morning Moon Cafe are great for breakfast and lunch. We took the Mail Boat out of Stonington to Isle au Haut for a lovely view of the islands off of Deer Isle. Cliff was a great host, left us to our seclusion and was there only when needed. We truly enjoyed every day of our stay.

Awesome Stay

This is a place that is quiet and has an amazing amount of thought put into the rental space. It has everything you need and probably a couple of things you forgot! A cozy fireplace to come home to at night and a beautiful yard to sit and unwind in. It was for us, the perfect vacation.

It’s really a gem!

We stayed at this gorgeous cottage for two. Nights while we hiked around Acadia. The place was spotless, and every detail was attended to. They even left us a thank you note and some bottled water and snacks! Well worth staying here even though it is an hours drive to Acadia. Would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our trip so much! The home was beautifully appointed with everything we needed for the trip. There is a Keurig for your caffeine needs. Blue Hill is a very cute little town. We grabbed groceries at the Hannaford and Walgreens. Blaze is an amazing restaurant! Harriman Preserve is a must see, about a mile hike to a quiet little beach that we had all to ourselves. So pretty and perfectly Maine!

Nice place in a quiet neighborhood. Alot of cool places to check out within a short drive. The owner was very helpful and a heck of a nice guy in general. When I booked this, I did not realize that if was attached to the main house. Not that it mattered. Would defiantly recommend and look forward to staying there again.
