Have never felt so at home
What an incredible place! From the moment we arrived, to the moment we left- we felt like we were just there visiting family. Check-in was super straight-forward and easy, and the layout of the house immediately made sense. Being tucked away in a slower paced area was a good break from our busy visits to Bar Harbor. Really enjoyed Beal's Lobster Pier on our first night there. The house is also a very short drive from the Bass Harbor lighthouse which is incredible. All of the furnishings, appliances, dishes, etc were upscale and felt homey. Not like someone just furnished the place to rent it out. The owner's were very nice and accommodating, nothing but positive things to say about them. Overall this place felt like a vacation spot that I'd be excited to return to over and over again.

We couldnt ask for a better location! We spent our days at Acadia National Park but the area was great. Everything was great at the house and even some extras to help eat at home. We appreciate the extra attention taken for the small things and the well labeled info for items to use.

Great Little Cottage
Adorable cottage with lots of charm! A few small issues noted upon arrival, but the host was quick to fix them. It would be nice to have upgraded silverware. The beds were comfy and keeping the windows open helped to keep the rooms cool. We loved the backyard and fire pit! Excellent location, close to hiking and restaurants!

MDI in 2 days with husband and adult daughter and son
This was a lovely place to stay on the quiet side near Wonderland Trail and Bass Harbor Lighthouse which gave us an opportunity to see a lot in just a couple days The busy-ness of Bar Harbor even before peak season was nice to visit, but not for long If you like a quiet immaculately decorated escape from it all, this is perfect!!

If anything, the property listing doesn't fully capture how much space is available. We were surprised at how big the property was! The whole place is clean and nicely decorated and we loved the kitchen especially. The location is also good, not too long of a drive to get to anything you want to do on the island. Highly recommended!

Lovely Cottage - It Felt Like Visiting Family
Vacation rental homes can sometimes feel a bit sterile, with furniture and decorations cobbled together from bargain stores. This property instead felt like we were being welcomed to stay at a favorite aunt and uncle’s home, with good quality furnishings, bedding, etc... It was cozy, warm, and comfortable in every aspect. It doesn’t feel cheap, but more like no expense was spared. Communication was also great - we had an issue with the TV and I messaged the host. The reply was almost instant, with another to have it replaced within a few hours. Proximity to Acadia was nice as well. It’s about a half hour drive to Bar Harbor and a 5 minute drive a couple short hikes along the coast. It’s also just a 5 minute drive to the Bass Harbor lighthouse, which is uncrowded and a gorgeous place to welcome the sunrise. I would stay here again and highly recommend this property.
