The location of the house was wonderful if you are looking to vacation in a quiet quaint little town. You have beautiful views of the fishing boats in the harbor and are not far from the local Schoodic section of Acadia.

thank you Caragh! You nailed it, a quiet, quaint town. Surprising with quite a few restaurants and with the Schoodic Loop Rd right there. Hope you enjoyed your stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately we did not realize until the end that we were located just a few miles of an entrance of Acadia forest....so don't miss that! We drive miles to go in near Bar Harbor. The view from front porch was beautiful. The beds were the best, we all slept great.Our hosts were exceptional

Aw Krista! Yes! This home is right next door to the Quiet Side of Acadia. A truly stunning piece of coastline. We do send a lot of information and the guidebook we leave at the house mentions it, but perhaps there is too much to read! So glad you enjoyed your stay and hope we see you again!

Lobster Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property worked great for 4 senior golfers. A good halfway point between Acadia and Campobello Island. Plenty of 9-hole courses for us to explore and lobster rolls to eat. We had an issue with the heat and the after hours women was very responsive in helping us with the issue. It was our issue!!

Exceptionally clean quaint cottage. We loved watching the boats and marine life from both the lower and upper deck. By the pictures and description I was under the impression that it was a little more secluded but it was still very quiet countryside. I would recommend this place to anyone. We really enjoyed all the amenities as well.

Perfectly located away from Bar Harbor crowds with convenient access to beautiful Schoodic Peninsula portion of Acadia. Quiet area. Great view of harbor. Nice yard for pet. Can take Winter Harbor ferry to Bar Harbor or 60 minute drive. Enjoyed the cool nights and being able to open windows at house. Two bathrooms and comfortable bedrooms were great. Highly recommend!

Property was very clean, host responded quickly to our questions. Cottage was lacking in some basic items if you plan to prepare meals. Would suggest the following items be added to the kitchen, pizza pan, cookie sheet And another non stick skillet. Also one burner on the range didn’t work and downstairs bathroom door needs some adjustment so you aren’t locked in as I was. Overall a good visit, but with some updates as listed above it would be great!!

Correspondence was great. Stay was great. Internet didn't work for most of our stay, so that was a let-down for my sons, but they made do. Visit Winter Harbor and Acadia if you stay! Amenities were great. Best towels, ever! I enjoyed to down time in peace and quiet. Wonderful stay. I'd go again. I'd give them an A. :)
