This place is actually cuter than in the pictures! It’s very rustic cottage vibes but has all the modern amenities that you need. The back deck is a great place to hang out and we enjoyed watching the tide come in and out. The property is on the west side of the island, which is quieter but expect to drive 30 minutes to get to Bar Harbor or most hikes.

My family of four stayed here for 5 nights and could not have been happier. It was clean, well stocked, and had a beautiful view. The kids loved playing on the rocks and water and we all enjoyed playing cornhole and hanging around the firepit at night. The stargazing from the back porch is amazing if you get a clear night! Was pleasantly surprised there was an A/C unit in the common room which I didn’t expect; though honestly the bedrooms stayed really comfortable with the fans provided and the water breeze. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The property is absolutely beautiful. The cottage sits right on the inlet and in August you could watch the sun set over the inlet. The place was clean and well supplied. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would stay again in a heartbeat.

Such a comfortable house and beautiful location. I loved all of the special touches and every time I looked for something I found that item - and even more I didn’t know I needed. In addition, the rental company was fantastic. Very responsive and personable.

a little slice of paradise

Our stay was just perfect. A slice of heaven for location where the dogs could swim, we could enjoy relaxation on the deck with cocktails after hiking Acadia on the quiet side of the trails with all the detailed amenities of home. We loved being close to smaller, quainter harbors with great restaurants. The cottage left no detail unthought of. Thank you for allowing us to share your beautiful spot to make family memories!
