Best vacation rental we've ever stayed in. The hosts were wonderful. There was a big notebook full of helpful information on the area. It included recommended routes, dining, and area must sees. Any questions we had were answered promptly. The home had a beautiful west facing setting overlooking a cove off of the bay. Sunsets were amazing.

We had such a wonderful stay! The property is beautiful and very quiet but very easy to get to Acadia or Bar Harbor or even Southwest Harbor. The cottage was equipped with everything needed for us and our toddler son. We enjoyed playing bocce or pool most nights, while looking out at some incredible sunsets!

The house was perfectly appointed for our family of 6. We loved the proximity to Bar Harbor, Acadia and some local hikes. The house was great for hanging out, playing games (including pool and bocce) or just hanging out on the deck and taking in the sunset. Jen and Troy were terrific hosts and the communication was super easy! Definitely one of our favorite stays so far!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Convenient location. Property was as described. Beds were comfortable and view from the deck was amazing. We liked staying closer to the “quieter” side of the island. Atlantic Brewing and Mainely Meat was a hidden gem - good food, good drink and really good live music. We also discovered Current - best meal we had. It was also nice to drive (street too busy to walk) to Blue Mountain Preserve which was right down the street. Kitchen was well stocked - only issue was knives could use sharpening. Really easy check out too and not a lot of stuff to do like at some rentals. No issue with being in the guest house and the owners being on property - we hardly saw them.

Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed the cottage, the views, and the quieter side of the island. Thank you also for letting us know about the knives. We’ll take care of that right away, and we only wish we had known during your stay, as we live on the property and would have been happy to provide another set. We’re glad you had a wonderful visit to MDI!

The property was even more beautiful than expected. A short drive to all Bar Harbor fun, it was the perfect spot for our excursions. The kitchen, bathrooms, and sleeping spaces were as described and very comfortable. Communication with the host was almost instant any time we needed and being greeted by the property owner was a treat. There is clearly pride in this home. Thank you!
