This was a quick father and son three night getaway. Very pleased with the Apple Cottage. Very quiet, comfortable and close to town and wonderful hiking locations. Would definitely do again!
It was an amazing stay. With it being our first time in Maine, this cottage was the perfect place for us. We throughly enjoyed our stay and plan on coming back in the summer.
We stayed at this home for several days for our tour of Acadia Park and Bar Harbor. Found it a little further away from the things we were interested in but overall Pleasant stay.
We loved the cottage and it was a great way to explore Acadia! This was our first trip to Maine and we can’t wait to come back. Mt kids loved playing in the ocean just a mins walk from the cabin.
Apple and Sand Dollar is a wonderful setting that accommodates our family very well. We have visited ANP and SWH for decades. It a favorite place for our family.
Beautiful, clean and comfortable with great views. Lovely hostess who provided a great deal of information about the area and answered all of my questions. Truly a wonderful experience.
This was the third time we have stayed at Apple Cottage and have enjoyed it each time. It's always our first pick of places to say while vacationing at Acadia National Park.
We love Apple Cottage. The ocean view is gorgeous. We love listening to the lobster boats early in the morning. Sunrise and the star lit night skies are dramatic and a welcome delight after urban life.
Small cottage was great home base for exploring this majestic island. Works well for families with small kids that want to be outdoors a lot. Owner was responsive and quickly tended to our needs during the trip!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was the perfect size for our family and gave us easy access to all of Acadia NP. It's located on the quietsude if the island which we really appreciated at the end of full days of hiking around ANP..
My kids really enjoyed the easy access to the water to investigate all the tides pools at low tide as well. Would definitely stay here again if we had the chance.
We enjoyed our stay at the Apple cottage. The cottage was spacious for a family of four and very quiet. The location was superb, with beautiful coastal and natural surroundings. Watching from the porch the sunrise over the water was something. Would come back again if we have a chance.
Beautiful home and such a kind host! It was our first family road trip and I was a bit disorganized to say the least Anne was so patient with me. We look forward to coming back, the location is perfect for families and the views are spectacular. Thank you!
Location is great on the quiet side of the island and numerous eateries are location fairly close by. The deck is a fabulous location for enjoying your morning coffee while watching the boats go by. Access to the beach is excellent and there is beauty in the simplicity of the layout of the cottage itself. We plan to return!
The location was central to everything! The house was simple and very clean! We had everything we needed. Anne got back to us right away and provided a great deal of information. We LOVED our time in Maine and Apple Cottage.
Had a wonderful week with great weather! Apple Cottage is perfect for us!! Enjoyed our visits with the deer! So graceful! Had a surprise visit by a gaggle of 14 turkeys!
Great place to relax but close enough to visit the parks. So happy that Seawall was fixed!! Great place to picnic!
Loved the quiet location with a view of the water. Property was clean and had everything we needed. It was a great base for visiting Acadia NP and a cozy retreat for those inevitable foggy, rainy days; so much nicer than a hotel room. Host responded immediately when we our access code didn't work.
This was our second stay here at the Apple Cottage. My husband and I returned this year with my mother. She was in awe of the view as much as we had been. We spent most of the time on the deck taking in the view and watching the deer if we weren’t out visiting the park. It was as lovely as the first time we were there.
Home was quiet & peaceful. Had 2 dears visit us each morning & evening

The Apple Cottage was beautiful. It is oceanside and set on a property that is secluded and peaceful. Deer visited us morning and evening, adding to the relaxed feeling. It was on the quiet side of Acadia but close enough to all of the Park to make hiking and other activities accessible. We plan to return in the future.
