This place was perfect! In addition to being well appointed, we really appreciated the extra touches - good water pressure in the shower, the prepped/equipped community campfire, the ‘enchanted’ forest walk for kids, the couple of kids books in the bunk bed room. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Beautiful little cabin in the woods!

The property was perfect for a quick getaway to Acadia national Park! It was clean, secluded, and just what we were looking for. Easy access to downtown Bar Harbor and our bicycle tour of Acadia national Park. Would highly recommend and would love to come back.

Spectacular Swan Chalet

Our 3-night stay at the Swan Chalet was perfect. The cabin was immaculate and had everything we needed. The location was great too. We could walk to a general store, shaved ice and pizza place as well as Atlantic Brewing. Bar Harbor and Acadia were about 15-20 minutes away making it a great home base for exploring.

We loved the cottage! As advertised for sure and cleanliness throughout. The attention to detail was off the chart. The cottage is ideal for smaller families. We enjoyed staying on MDI and far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Har yet still accessible within 10/15 mins. Highly recommend!

Thoughtful, comfortable and clean.

Our cottage was absolutely perfect for our family. The thoughtful touches such as the games, travel coffee mugs and well stocked fire pit and activity closet make this rental stand out against all the others. The whole property was spotless and beautiful. Conveniently located to the park and some excellent lobster rolls. I cannot say enough good things. We very much enjoyed our stay, only wishing it was longer.

Comfortable Accommodations

Travelled with my adult children. The cottage accommdated all of us. It was very well stocked. Small living space but comfortable and the screen porch gave some extra lroom. We enjoyed ping pong and the fire pit right on the property. Plenty of good places to eat in a very short distance. There is some traffic noise as it is close to the main road but it was quite quiet at night.

Great Accomodation but far from all the activities

Great cottage and clean and new house. Had all the basic amenities. The listing says location close to bar harbor and Acadia park but it took atleast 25 mins to get to both the places. The location is in Mt Desert island which is atleast a 10 mile drive from all the main locations. I hope they change it to reflect it accurately in the listing. Otherwise an awesome cottage to stay in
