Our family has visited Bar Harbor often, and this was by far our favorite place that we’ve stayed. Loved being right on the shore path and close to town, but in a quiet and peaceful setting away from the crowds. The house is beautiful with lovely gardens, the beds are comfortable, and we had everything we could possibly need. Lauren was a great host and very responsive. We would love to come back!

Thanks so much for the lovely review. And thank you for staying at Devilstone Cottage this summer.
We loved the house and the location was fantastic. So spacious and comfortable. Short walk to town by the shore and by street. Great communication by our host; she responded to our requests immediately. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
House needs a good cleaning. Bathroom floors need mopping. Upstairs shower is clogged. When missing a dust pan and trying to use a broken vacuum, I reached out to host and this problem was quickly resolved. Thank you. Great Location. Easy parking. Wonderful to walk to town or ocean.so close to Acadia. Lovely that my dog can come. These things add a lot of value but the house itself isn’t great. It’s not a very comfortable house. The couches in living room are in dire need of replacement. We got stuck in one of them. Literally. Furniture layout very awkward in living room. Not enough seating for a group to have a conversation. Even though there is a sign on the front door, I forgot and fell right into the living room as there is a step as soon as you walk in. My bad but dangerous design. Some simple furniture updates and better cleaning would make this a no brainer.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the location, parking, proximity to town and Acadia, and that we could accommodate your dog. I'm sorry the house did not meet your expectations.
We take pride in maintaining a high standard of cleanliness, and this is not the experience we want for our guests. We appreciate you letting us know about the vacuum and dustpan during your stay, which allowed us to address those issues promptly, and we'll be following up with our housekeeping team regarding the cleaning concerns you noted.
This home was the perfect location in Bar Harbor. We could walk along the water and walk into town. The rooms are spacious and kitchen was well equipped. Fire pit was a great feature for a chilly autumn afternoon.
Loved the location. Loved the fire pit!Really enjoyed proximity to Shore Path!! Beautiful property. Lauren was very responsive. Only drawback was noisy heater. Got pretty loud at times.
Could not recommend this higher. Absolutely beautiful location, so convenient for downtown, and also a very short walk to the beach. Beautiful home, and very welcoming host. Exactly as advertised, and would love to stay again given the opportunity. We absolutely were thrilled to take advantage of the fire pit one evening, wonderful for a cold November weekend!

J., thanks for the lovely review. Glad to hear you were able to enjoy the firepit on a cool Fall evening.
This was an ideal place to stay in Bar Harbor - an easy walk to everything and the house is very well maintained and appointed! We would definitely come back!
This house is the perfect place to stay to be close to the park and also be able to walk to dinner! Thank you for the cozy house and allowing our spoiled furry dog!

Amy, thanks so much for your wonderful review. It was great to have you stay with us.
Perfect, short getaway to our favorite town in Maine! Right in the heart of Bar Harbor, walking distance to restaurants and shops. Property was clean and the owner allowed us to check in early. Great stay!

Bailey thanks so much for the review and glad you enjoyed Bar Harbor in the off season.
Perfect location, very clean, very spacious. You could probably fit 3 full families. Super close to town and right down the street from an excellent coffee shop. Will be staying here again.
The cottage had everything we needed for our family. The privacy for the location on the tiny island and access to the city were perfect. It was a wonderful location that provided great access to Acadia NPS.
