Location was sooo great- did a hike from the property for sunrise on Boulder Beach, scouted it out the night before via Quarry Trail. Cottage itself was great, clean and as described- host was on top of communication.

Great location, beautiful yard, easy jumping off point to Acadia hikes and biking on the carriage road. Comfy spot that feels like home. Look forward to staying again when we're back on MDI.

Great cottage and wonderful location! The house was very clean and well maintained and our host did a great job of communicating. She was also super helpful when we asked for some local restaurant suggestions. The location is ideal as it is very close to excellent hiking trails but also just a short drive from Bar Harbor and Seal Harbor. You are close to everything you need but at the same time you feel like you are away from it all. We hope to visit again in the future!

My family and I had a very nice experience in this cozy cottage. It is in a great location convenient to several trail heads. It has everything you need and the Otter creek store is a short walk away for the items you forgot.

Really lovely property in a great location! We enjoyed taking the half mile path down to Otter Cove several mornings, and this was a great home base for exploring Acadia (interspersed with toddler naps). Everything was exactly as described in the listing and Amanda was very communicative.

Beautiful stay

We were nicely surprised with the cleanliness of the house. The location of the house was within walking distance to trails. The fire pit was a nice addition. Very close to Bar Harbor. Us four adults had a great stay.

Perfect central location

We had theee days to visit Acadia National Park. This place is right in the middle of the park. Clean, comfortable, good knives and adequate cutting boards - a true test of a good place to stay!

Great trip to Acadia!

This rental exceeded our expectations. Amanda was a fantastic host and very helpful and friendly throughout our stay. The proximity to the park and comforts of home like the ac grill and fire pit made our stay that much better. We will be staying again the next time we come to visit the park!

My family and I absolutely loved this property! Such a cozy cottage and super clean. We enjoyed being in a quiet area but yet still being within a short drive of everything!! This cottage had all of the little touches that make a place feel cozy and like home away from home.

Cute Otter Cliff home

Great place with location near Otter Cliffs and accessible to hiking/biking trails. Nice corner store a short walk away with nightly lobster pound. Quiet neighborhood, nice albeit small outdoor space. Would definitely stay again!

Great stay in Acadia

We loved our stay in this home. The location was great. As others have mentioned, it was super accessible to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, but tucked away on a quiet street. We love using the fire pit in the evening. The layout of the house was great for two adults and two young children - and very accurately represented in the listing. We would absolutely stay here again!
