Great location on the quiet side of MDI! The cottage is as pictured - cozy and has everything you need. It is close to some lesser known gems and easy access to all of MDI.

Great spot ! If you want a quiet, slow paced place within a short ride to NP attractions this is the place. Cottage well equipped, owner was very responsive and property is accurately described. Short walk to ocean and a perfect place to have your own private show of the sunset !

Perfect for family of four

The cottage was absolutely perfect for our family of four - rustic but with all the conveniences, private but near things to do, cozy and beautifully designed. The owners have stocked it with everything. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay!

quintessential Maine getaway

This was our second time staying at the cottage, and it lived up to our fond memories. Several upgrades, including terrific mattresses and my favorite coffee equipment made it the perfect retreat after exploring the island. Thanks, again, for sharing this special home.

Ideal, private, quiet side location away from the crowds of Bar Harbor but still within a short driving distance when needed. Home was a perfect blend of a traditional Maine “camp” feel but with all the amenities you could ask for. It was sparkling clean and the host provided clear, accurate information. Would definitely book again! Thanks Richard!

Beautiful cottage in Maine

Our stay was a nice visit to Acadia as it was about 30 minutes from Bar Harbor and also close to a cute town in SW Harbor. The cabin is quiet and peaceful and the stove is a addition to the cabin on cool mornings. Richard was by far the best host and easiest to reach and communicate with before and during our stay.

Great location! Everything we needed was there. Extremely clean. Yard area and cove were perfect for us and for our dogs. Acadia National Park, stores, restaurants are all within an easy drive. The locals were super nice and always had a recommendation for places to go and things to see. Would love to go back! A week wasn't enough.

Return to a paradise!

My family and I have spent a week at this lovely home for many summers now, and its beauty, charm, and soul are breathtaking. Simple, clean, and elegant. Quiet, well accommodated, and well located. It's worth it! We've been here over a half dozen times and have never had any complaints.

Wonderful week on the Quiet Side

This was our third stay at Prud'homme Cottage, and the property was as lovely and peaceful as ever. The cottage itself is an architectural gem. It's a simple cottage with a timeless design and quality craftsmanship, and fits perfectly into its surroundings. And for us the location is ideal. It's a short walk on a quiet road to beautiful Bernard and a short drive to Southwest Harbor. Mountain hikes and craggy Wonderland are within 10 minutes by car. And Mitchell Cove, a two minute walk from the house through the trees, is our place for morning coffee, afternoon canoeing, and fantastic sunsets.

Quiet and private

The property is exactly how it’s described. We did not have any problems with anything. I could tell that if we needed something it would be dealt with in a professional and timely matter! Would we rent this property again? Absolutely! For us it worked out just great! Wood stove is top of the line. The people that own this place are cool and know what’s important. Have no fear renting from them. Very chill place. Thanks!

100% Perfect

This house was perfect for our family of four and could easily accommodate five. It was exactly as advertised - neat, clean and quiet. We had the cove completely to ourselves. If you're visiting this area for the first time, don't worry about the proximity to Bar Harbor and all the attractions. Short car ride with plenty to see and do along the way. The hiking trails around Long Pond are excellent. You can walk to Thurstons Lobster Pound which was our favorite meal, on the last night of our trip. The host communication was excellent, but we did not need him at all once we arrived. Everything was exactly as described and we felt right at home the moment we walked through the door. We highly recommend this place!

If you want to stay in a Bar Harbor kinda hotel you should do that. This is a quiet side chill. If you are uptight then go to BH. If you are cool, this is what you want. I’ve been visiting QS for 45 years. The Owners are awesome. If there’s a problem (rearly) they’re on it in seconds!Highly recommend this listing to cool people.

Perfect cottage to explore MDI

Our stay at the Prud'homme Cottage with was fantastic for our family of four. The house is well appointed and benefits from excellent design and craftsmanship. The space is private and quiet and the sunsets at Mitchell Cove were great. The house had everything we needed, and Richard was a fantastic and responsive host. The location gave us a chance to explore Acadia's quietside, but was just close enough to everything else.

Absolute Heaven

This property was all we hoped for and more. It was ideal for our family of four. Perfect size, nice layout providing a mix of family time and privacy for the kids. The outdoor seating areas were dreamy, and the landscaping kitchen well-equipped and east to use with everything we needed (and we like to cook). Access to canoe and cove was a highlight. We had difficult travels getting to Maine (our own fault) and Richard was quick to respond to requests for information, kind, and reassuring. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Rental

House is beautifully designed, clean and comfortable. Outdoor spaces great for hanging out or entertaining friends, as is the large living/dining space with wood-burning stove. The kitchen has everything needed for cooking a variety of foods. Bedrooms designed to give each person or couple their own spaces. There are two identical bathrooms, one on each floor near bedrooms. They are small but clean and well organized. This house is perfect for a family with children or several friends.

Peaceful Home Base

Prud'homme Cottage is perfectly situated in Tremont near Southwest Harbor on the quiet side of MDI and near a cove that is a 2 minute walk from the house. It was a great home base from which to explore surrounding trails and sights. The trails in that area are less touristy and less crowded, which was exactly what we wanted. The camp itself was comfortable with plenty of space. We enjoyed sitting on the outdoor deck overlooking the meadow. We also enjoyed taking in the sunset on the cove just a few minutes away. Richard was a laid back, but responsive host who gave us lots of good insider info about things to do in the area and answered any questions we had. We enjoyed our time there tremendously.
