Peter's Acadia cottage is beautiful, quiet and peaceful. A short scenic drive to anywhere on the island. I would recommend staying here if you are looking into spending time at Acadia but want your own little oasis Peter is a great host and so accommodating! 10/10!!

This property was fantastic, and it is clear a lot of thought went into hosting. We walked in and immediately noticed fresh flowers. The kitchen is well-appointed and has essentials such as olive oil, salt, and pepper. The screened in porch is awesome, and looks over woods with water in the background. The cabin is a fun addition. It is cozy but not cramped and has a useful kitchenette and spacious bathroom. Peter was quick to respond whenever we had questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Great spot, well maintained and so clean!

We loved this property, especially with the cabin option perfect while travelling with my family and mom. She loved having her own cozy space! The house was incredibly clean, and provided a lot of amenities. Totally recommend for a small group!

Guest made zero complaints during their stay, and in fact thanked me for fast responses to their few questions, so unsure why this was not a 5 star review. They requested a last minute late checkout which could not be accommodated due to incoming guests checking in on the same day. But that shouldn't be held against the host or property. Wish them well and safe travels

About the host

Hosted by Peter Collier

Host profile image
I'm from the area and work as a full time Realtor in Bar Harbor - I love making a difference for the community and sharing the magic of Mount Desert Island with the world!

Why they chose this property

Central to the whole island, the location is just so convenient for any adventure you may wish to partake in on a given day. The serene views to Ripples Pond sealed the deal, and as dog lovers we greatly appreciated the sunny fenced in backyard :)

What makes this property unique

Tranquility is the best word to describe this special property thanks to its views over Ripples Pond and proximity to some of my personal favorite locations on the island: Beech Hill Mountain and Long Pond. The pet friendly vibes and spare Cabin help it feel private yet communal in nature... just perfect for sharing with visitors and guests.
